FEAR INVASION BY
 ARMED MEX|CANS
Infantry Rushed to San Benito to Check Mexicans-Citizens are
 Living in Armed Camps.

BROWNSVILLE, Sept. 15.-A de- tachment of infantry left Fit. Brown last night, and is being rushed as fast as possible to San Benito, be- cause of the information received by the authorities of threatened inva- sion in Texas at San Bonito, by the Mexicans, who have gathered a large force just across the border
 Conditions have grown worse in the past few days. The people along the border have been forced to leave their ranches and are living in con- centration camps armed and ready to repel any attack. The Mexicans have footed and burned many ranch houses. Even in the cities the citi- zens are forced to join together to check the Mexicans who are killing citizens found out late at night, when they think they have a chance to make killing and escape.
 AS a consequence the Americans are also shooting Mexicans on sight, and conditions are becoming unbear- able. The women and children are being cared for by the men and are not allowed out unless accompanied by escorts. -' ..a-' .'-.'--

CITIZENS PLANNED
 RAILROAD MAYOR Charge That Detectives Held Confer ence With Prosecutor to Frame
 Up on Indianapolis Mayor.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-The at- torneys for Mayor Bell and other city officials charged with election frauds at the last election have turned the tables on the prosecutor and will ask for his indictment, charging that the prosecutor met the hired detectives at midnight in a local park and framed up the evidence by which they hoped to secure the convictions. The de- fense asserts they have confession from several of the detectives and also have the evidence of several citi- zens who overheard the conversation.
 According to the attorneys for the defense the State prosecutor planned to railroad the city officials in order that he might secure a reputation for himself and thus secure political elevation by the people.

MEAT RAT||0]NS
 NAY BE GUT
Likely to Establish Card System as With Bread, Trade Asso-
 citation Asserts.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. l5.- Germany is facing the necessity of reducing the meat consumption of her civil population by 40 or 50 per cent, according to report compiled by the American Association of Con- merce and Trade in Berlin, just re- ceived at the Department of Con- merce. On the other hand, the re- port says that bread card system has resulted in surplus of wheat and rye flour which will make pos sible an increase in the bread allow ance in the coming year.
 The introduction of a meat card scheme to restrict consumption and at the same time to insure reasona- hle prices for the masses is forecast by the association. From statistics gathered before the war it is esti- mated that Germany depended upon imports from other nations for about 27.3 per cent of her foodstuffs.
 'It should be borne in mind that Germany's isolation is not complete," the report asserts, "since over s. 3OO,OOO bushels of wheat have been brought in since the outbreak of the war and not much less of fodder, which is about one-tenth of normal imports per year."
 It is estimated that in 1915-16, on the basis of the basis of the present bread card distribution, demand for about 7,3S0,0OO tons of breadstuffs must be supplied from supply rang ing from 7,5OO,OOO to 8,O0O,000 tons not including 33,570,000 barrels of flour left over from last years crop.
 "The conclusion is," the report de- clares, "that all demands for bread stuffs and potatoes can be filled. It will be possible to increase the bread rate per head on the bread cards, and sugar and milk will be sufficiently supplied The meat consumption, however, will have to undergo re- strictions, and it seems that a limi- tation of 40 to 50 per cent will have tO{be figured with"

GERMAN POLICY
 ALARMS HOLLAND
Bethmann-Hollweg's "New EurOpe'' Speed. Menace to Neutrals,
 Journal Says.

THE HAGUE, Sept. 14.-The Rot terdam Courant, the most influential and the most widely circulated news paper ir Holland publishes tonight on it's i..st page twc-column edito- rial virt .ally declaring Chancellor von Beth hnann-Hollweg' recent talk to the Reichstag was menace to the neutral States. The article gains in signilis ance from the fact that the Couran, heretofore has been consid- cred strongly pro-German. The pa per says:
 What the German Chancellor in the Reichstag on August 18th de- scribed as a new Europe'-under the general enthusiastic applause of his hearers-is in the eyes of us neu- trals a future hell. It is not be- cause .. is Germany for which the Chancellor claims 'an impregnably strong position For England or Russia to assume to play the star part in this anachronistic fashion would be equally unbearab'e. But, if any state succeeds in so strengthening itself that it is wholly invincible, why then K:rq Terror becomes our only ruler"
 The Rotterdam Journals expres- sions coincide with those of other leading Dutch papers, which are strenuorsly protesting against the idea of 9 complete German hegamony over Europe, General Staal, Dutch ex- Minister of War, writing in Het Vaaterland, says:
 "German drafts of peace terms in- dicate that Germany will not be able to help incorporating Belgium. Who ever breaches this proposal is com pletely forgetful of the fact that Bel gium has been involved in the war against her wishes and by an act on the part of Germany. If Germany continues to occupy Belgium after peace she will give to this war a character which would stamp her as a brutal. grasping usurper and make neutrals sorry not to have inter- vened."

ENGLISH MINISTRY
 ARE NOW DIVIDED
Are Split Over Issue and New Cabinet May Be Formed
 in 8 Few Days.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The ministry may break over the conscription is- sue. Lord Kitchener insists that the nation put out its full strength and demands that stay-at-home able bod fed Englishmen be forced to join the colors, as is the case in France, Italy, Russia, Germany and Austria. A number of members of the cabinet are opposing the plan for conscrip- tion and the result is expected to be the dismissal of the cabinet and the formation of a new cabinet.
 A committee consisting of Lord Crewe, Lord Curzon, Churchill, Hen derson and Chamberlain of the cabi- net have been holding hearings on conscription and have finally come to the conclusion that conscription is ad- visable and feasible.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 15.- Secretary Lansing today demanded of the German foreign. office a com- plete disavowal of the sinking of the liner Arabic and the consequent loss of two American lives. The request for arbitration as asked for by Ger many in the recent note according to Lansing, will be granted only after a complete and distinct disavowal by the Imperial German government of the act of it's submarine commander in sinking a liner without warning to the passengers so that they might be given an opportunity to leave the ship prior to its being submarined.
 The Administration will not for one instant agree to arbitrate the question of the right of Germany to

 President Determined.
 President Wilson is represented as being fully aware of what it will mean to this country if diplomatic relations with Germany are severed.

The enveloping movement south and east of Riga continues, and the city may be cut off from the field army unless the Teutons are checked.
 Reports from Petrograd indicate that the Russian general staff has or dered the evacuation of the Wilma and

 Should it be found necessary to dis miss Count von Bernstorff and recall Ambassador Gerard the first step of the administration program will be to call an extra session of congress if the situation is critical, otherwise the President would wait until the December session when he would per sonally ask congress for authority to organize a standing army of 100000 with provision for war footing of 6OO,OO0 and the creation of a tre- mendous reserve army.

CHARLESTON, s. C., Sept. 15.- The state has gone dry by vote of three to one. The brewery and sa- loon interest fought desperately to prevent the people prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquor in the state but failed. The new law goes into effect on January 1, 1916, after which time no liquors can be sold in the state.
 Brewery interests will take the matter to the courts in a hope of having the law declared unconstitu- tionaly.

The President, it was asserted, when he sent his warning to Ger many on July 21 that prompt action should be taken if German subma- rine committed an act involving the jeopardy of an American citizen, ap- proximating in principle that of sink ing the Lusitania.
 A more emphatic step than the dis missal of the German ambassador could hardly be taken at this time In addition to the dismissal of Bern storff Ambassador Gerard would be recalled and the diplomatic connec- tions between the two countries sev- cred. Some neutral country would be made by the German government for the protection of its interests in this country.

The retreating Russian army continues to devastate the country as the army re- treats and nothing of value is left. All crops that cannot be harvested are set on fire and burned. Buildings are destroyed and all food taken with the army. The desolation in the rear of the retreating Russians is terrible.
 It is feared here by military ex- perts that Riga will be abandoned by the Russians after the naval yards have been destroyed.
