GARzA NOW HEADS MExIClNS
ONE OF VILLAS PRINCIPAL OF.
FiCERS APPOINTED.
Believed lie Was Chosen to Meet
Emergency Created by Depar-
ture of General Gutierrez.

Washington, Jan. IS. General
Rogue Gonzales CARA, one OF Gen
eral Villas principal officers now is
the executive head of that portion
Of Mexican territory controlled by the
Villa and Zapata forces.
Advices to this effect reached the
State Department from American Con
sui Silliman. Details of the term Of
Garza's Office We're lacking, but the
general belief in Mexican circles here
was that he had been appointed tenn
porarily to meet an emergency created
by the sudden departure Of General
Eulalio Gutierrez and members OF his
cabinet from Mexico City.
The belief was expressed ia many
quarters that the convention now in
session in Mexico City, over which
Rogue Gonzalez Cara had been pre-
siding, designated him to exercise the
executive power until a complete
agreement can be secured on the man
who is to fill the unexpired term Of
Presidents DiaZ and Madero, which
would end on Dec. 81 Of this year.
The reasons for the departure OF
Gutierrez are unknown here, but the
belief prevails that he declined to be
continued in Office under the restric-
tons suggested by the Zapatistas.

STARTING IN AGRICULTURE
United States Is Only a Beginner in
Farm Education, Says Fedora!
Department Secretary.

Minneapolis, Jan. 19.-"The United
States is just getting started in agri-
culture and in agricultural education
and if every farmer worked his land
as we'll on the average as the best Of
them do now, it would work an indus
trial revolution" This was the mes
sage of the United States secretary Of
Agriculture to members of the Civic
and Commerce association at a dinner
given for him at Donaldson's tea
rooms.

The child was born at 4:30 o'clock

The boy weighed seven and one-half
pounds. He announced his arrival by

that his lungs were in excellent con-
dition.
President Wilson made no effort
to conceal his joy when Informed that
the child was boy, and that Mrs.
Sayre was well. His face was wreath.
ed in smiles for hours afterwards. The
baby is his first grand-child and the

FORTY FOURTH ANNIVERSARY
OF WILLIAMS PROCLAMATION
AS EMPEROR MAY INSPIRE
NEW EFFORT.
PREDICT TEUTONS WILL
TRY TO CROSS AISNE
British Commentators Declare Fight
ina at Scissors to Be Precursor of
Entry Of New Troops Upon
Vigorous Offensive in
Northern France.

London, Jan. 19.-London Is recall
ing that this is the fOrty-fourtn ami
Versary Of the proclamation of Will
helm /. as German emperor and in the
British capital it is expected that the
day may bring news of a widespread
German effort to follow up with still
more important movement the success
achieved last week in the neighbor-
hood Of scissors.
In London it ia believed that the
Germans have adopted what is yirtu-
ally defensive role to the west of
Warsaw.
Some British observers argue that
this has been forced upon them by su-
perior Russian numbers-and that
with the movements of many thou
sandes of Teutonic troops from Poland
to the French and Belgian battlefelds.
New Troops on Offensive.
The fighting at scissors some Brit
ish commentators declare to be the
precursor of the entry of these new
troops upon vigorous offensive, per-
haps an attempt to cross the River
Aisne. At scissors the French failed
to hold their positions on the northern
bank OF the river, and for the Ger
mans to attempt to gain the southern
bank is regarded as development to
be expected.
AS to future engagements in this
region, it appears to be fact that
the French artillery on the hills south
of the Aisne commands all the ap-
proaches to the river and that 1t will
have TO be reckoned with.
In the eastern arena Of the war the
steady pressure which the arrival of
100000 of last year levies has en-
abled the Russians to exert upon the
Germans, according to dispatches
reaching London, has been slowly
pushing back the German line to the
west of Warsaw.
Russians Reoccupy Plock.
News dispatches report the Russian
reoccupation of Plock. This report
has not been contirn1ed officially, but
the Russians crossed the SkrWa river
few miles below that point and may
have been able to occupy the city.
Russian forces already had reached
Sierpec and Gombin, lying respectively
directly north and south of this pro-
vincial capital
The Russian defeat Of the Turks. if
the claims of Petrog1ad are fully borne
out, was so decisive that it may mark
the close Of the Ottoman attempt to
invade Russia in the Caucausian re-
gion. The Russian victory probably
will free enough of the Caucausian
army to oppose effectively the Turkish
forces which are approaching the from
tier further eastward through Persia.

Rome, Jan. 17.-From $4,000 to So
900 still remains the unofficial esti-
mate Of the casualties resulting from
the earthquake which rocked southern
and central Italy early Wednesday.
The amount of damage done cannot
yet be determined from the meager
descriptions of the catastrophe that
have reached Rome over the hampered
lines of communication.
100 Towns Destroyed.
Such details as have come through
leave no doubt, however, that about
100 towns and villages have been de-
molished or nearly wrecked and that
great loss of life resulted.
Thousands of persons now have lain
for days beneath crumbled buildings
throughout the earthquake zone.
Some are dead while others still are
living. Many have been removed from
the wreckage and brought to Rome
hospitals for treatment or are being
cared for in their home towns in tenn
porary structures presided over by
physicians and nurses rushed from the
capital and other cities in Italy.
Victims Die in Fire.
1t is believed many of those caught
in the wreckage were not injured but
persisted from cold and hunger or
were incinerated in fires which broke
out amid the ruins.
The number burned probably was
largest at Avezzano and Magliano-De-
Marsi, where fires started and there
was no water to quench them.
Avezzano apparently suffered most
from the disaster. Ten thousand per-
sons in that district are said to have
persisted and the entire town has been
leveled.
