point thai had been reached In the re-

MEXICANS KILL TROOPER
Private Arthur Kraft, Twelfth Cavalry,
Shot Dead In Early Morning Bat
tie on Border.

Brownsville, Texas.-One American
trooper is dead and two seriously
wounded as the result Of an early
morning fight at Santa Maria. Texas,

ers, sustained a gunshot wound in the
leg.
Col. A. p. Blocksom at Fort Brown

scene OF the fight, calling out large
patrols, and placed officers to search

ringleaders on the Mexican side of the
river.
A rural postman was shot and
slightly wounded near Edinburg, about
20 miles from the scene of the fight.
The fight, beginning in the half

RUSSIAN ARMIES
ARE STILL ACTIVE
CARS FORCES DEFEAT THE AUS.
TRANS IN BATTLES ALONG
oALIcIAN FRONTIER.
MORE RESERVES CALLED
New Call Makes Il Possible to Bring
Up New Army Of Eight Million.
Munitions Are Now Being
Received Plentifully.

London.-Stern battles are being
fought from Riga to the Roumanian
border, and while the Germans con
tinue to advance slowly in the north
and center, the Russians In the south
are repeating their successes against
the Austro-German armies, now being
driven across the river Stripa in Ga
licia and retiring westward, north Of
the Galician frontier. While these
Russian victories are welcomed in
Russia and the allied countries as an
evidence that the Russian armies are
still able to take the offensive when
supplied with ammunition, there Is no
inclination to e~xaggerate their impor-
lance. The engagements, however,
keep the Austro-Germans busy and
make It imperative to send reinforce
ments southwark, which could be
used to better advantage in the north,
where Won Hindenburg is directing
operations Of much greater moment.
Much Importance Is attached to the
decision OF Russia to call to the colors
territorial reserves. Should the age
limit be fixed at 35 years, this fresh
call would mean the possible addition
OF 8,000,0 90 men to the Russian
armies, including the men who had
passed through the first line and the
reserves and those who heretofore have
been exempted as students, or only
n or men who are not quite up to
the physical standard.
Naturally all of these could not be
armed and equipped, but Russia could
have the pick of them.
With Russia now supplied with mu-
n~itions, her allies, who have been sup
plying her, can turn their attention to
their own armies and, in consequence,
there is no cessation in the artillery
engagements which have ragged in the
west for several weeks past.

LOAN NOT ~UNNEUTRAl.
Administration viii Not Interfere With
Allies Billion Dollar Credit.

Observation-Disclosures that the
administration considers the proposed
billion dollar loan or credit to the allies
by American bankers within the lin
its of neutrality and will not interfere
was reported from the White House
Sept. 10,
The administration, it is understood,
regards the loan as merely a necessary
detail In the transaction, by which the
allies are purchasing supplies in the
United States. and that the credit is to
be used largely in meeting debts al.
ready incurred and that 1t is not pro.
posed to give the allies money for use
elsewhere.
The administration. it is said, sees
no difference between the proposed
loan and the floating Of 100000 of
German securities in this country some
time ago, except in size.

ID OFFICERS EXECUTED
Returning American Gives Details OF
Villas Slaughter Visit to Ranch
House of Gen. Urbina.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Fourteen staEfNvkI
GERS of Gen. Urbina's force werTe .o-
cuted with Urbina as the result Of the
recent visit of Gen. Villa to Urbina's
ranch as Las Nievas, according to an
American who has arrived here, who
said he had accompanied Gen. Villa on
the trip.
Gen. Villa" said the American, at
Jiminez put one of his W operators
in charge of the telegraph line which
runs from Parral to the Las Nievas
ranch. A message was then sent Ur-
bina as follows, supposedly from one
of the operators loyal to Urbina:
"'Villa and bodyguard have passed
through Bermejillo en- route to Las
Nievas to interview you. How will
you receive him?'
"Urbina replied that he would wei
come Villa with bullets. Villa then
ordered Gen. Rudolfo Ferro to ad-
vance before him on the march to the
ranch. The party arrived early Friday
morning and surrounded the ranch
house, whereupon Urbina and his stan
opened fire from the windows.
"Villa arriving, ordered a charge
upon the house. AS his men entered
by the windows and doors Urbina tried
to cover Fierro with his pistol, where
upon Fierro sent a bullet through Ur-
bina's right arm and Urbina surren-
dered and ordered his staff to follow
suit.
villa took charge of Urbina and
reprimanded him for treason, and told
him he would have to die. 1t had been
Villas plan to send Urbina to Chihua-
hua for execution as an example, but
he turned him over to Gen. Fierro. Five
minutes later Fierro returned and re-
ported he had taken Urbina to Chi

Fourteen of Urbina's officers weri

VOTES ANOTHER BIG LOAN
English Parliament Passes Bill Which
Makes Total War Credit Over Six
Billion Dollars.

London.-Premier Asquith, In the
House OF Commons, and Earl Kitch-
ener, secretary of war, in the House
Of Lords, gave an exhaustive survey
Sept. 10 of the financial and military
situations, both making candid state
ments of what has been done and OF
preparations for carrying the war to a
successful conclusion"
Both houses were crowded with
members and spectators, who followed
with deepest interest Mr.. Asquith's
plain and business-like statement in
asking for another vote OF credit,
which brings the total to $6,3l0,OOO, 900,
and to Earl Kitchener's reading OF a
carefully prepared and optimistic
speech on the military operations n
needs.
The premier had to deal with huge
figures to explain the financing OF the
war and warned his hearers that al
though the expenditure was now more
than $17, 500, 900 daily, there was a like
lihood Of its increasing owing to the
advance to the allies and to the do
minions-which had reached $780,
000-and provision for munitions.
Since the war began nearly 100000
men, he said, had enlisted in the army
and navy. Besides 100000 persons
were now engaged in the manufacture
of munitions. But both figures would
have to be increased, and he appealed
to the women to give their assistance,
believing they would make "a gigantic
stride towards the solution OF n OF
the most pressing promlems."
Reviewing the military situation, Mr..
Asquith stated that in France and
Flanders the position Of the British
troops had been strengthened every
where by large requirements Of men
and munitions, and that there had been
a considerable extension Of lines taken
over from the French.
In the D%ardanelles, he continued, the
British had made substantial gains,
though they had not succeeded in dis
lodging the Turks from the crest OF
the hills. The British now hold a
front of more than twelve miles.
In the east, Mr.. AsQuith said, the
Russian army remains unbroken. He
asserted that the superiority of the
Germans was only in artillery and that
their objective was still far out Of
reach.

SEEK LOAN OF ONE BILLION
AnsIo.French Financial Commission
Want Huge Sum On Government
Bonds.-Neutralitv Involved.

New York,-The present plan Of the

sion, II has been reported, is to Dor.
row one billion dollars in the United
States on straight British and French
government bonds without any col.
lateral.
II this vast sum OF money is OBJ
tanned, It was said, It is to be spent, to
the last cent, In the United States for
wheat, cotton, meat and other com
modify shipments, including mum
tons OF war, 1t will therefore, in the
opinion of financial authorities, be
classified as a commercial loan.
Whether the neutrality Of the Unit
ed States would be questioned, in case
the bankers financing the loan should
accept straight British and French
government notes as security, has
been given serious consideration. II
was said hnanciers familiar with the
plan had every reason to believe
Washington would not interfere,
The two chief obstacles that seem,
ed to appear obvious were the ques
ton whether Washington would re
gard %unfavorably the issuance of 8
loan based on British and French gov
eminent bonds as being |unneutral
and whether the banks OF Americt
could assim!late such a loan withou
collateral. In some quarters 1t Is be
lieved that the banks could do II. |
&c, It will have been neither equalet
nor approached in the history o
American finance.
