First Chief Displeased With Him.
Carothers Also Under Ban-Reports
From Consul at Vera Cruz Aneered
De Facto Government.

shington.-Goyernme officials
admitted that when a shake-up of the
American consular service in Mexico
Is completed as a result of the re-
cognition of Carranza. one of the
names probably missing will be that
OF George G. Carothers, who has been
acting as the special agent of the
State Department with Villas army.
Carothers several times incurred
the displeasure OF CarranZa and his
followers and dispatches from the
border confirm the prediction made
at the time of Carranza's recognition
that the Consul would be persona non
grata TO the de facto government.
Carranza has made no formal re-
quest that Carothers be relieved of
his Consular post but one is expected
shortly in view OF General Obregons
recent protest to Genral Funston
against the return OF the American
Consul to Mexico.
Compliance with the request by this
Government will be merely in defer.
ence to the wishes of CarranZa. and
will not indicate any lack OF conf
dence in the ability and discretion OF
Carothers.
Carothers along with the other con-
sular representatives in Villa territory.
was advised shortly before the recogni.
tlon of Carranza was announced TO
withdraw from Mexico. Since then he
has been acting as a special agent for
the department in Douglas. Ariz.
w. w. Canada. Consul at Vera
Cruz, also will be withdrawn from
Mexico it is believed in Washington.
He made reports at the time of the
trouble at Vera Cruz which angered
the Carranza officials.
This Government has not decided
upon it's diplomatic representative to
Mexico

Paris. - Earl Kitchener, british
Secretary for War, before leaving tor
the Near East, at the request OF his
colleagues, paid a visit to Premier
BRAND, Minister of War Gallieni and
General Joffre, the French comman-
der in chief.
This dispatch contains the first mint
of the route taken by Lord Kitchener
in proceeding to the Orient 1t appar-
emily bears out the report in London
that his mission includes an effort to
coordinate the work Of the general
staffs of the Allied armies.
The entrance of Italy into the Bal
kan war was announced in news dis
patches from the Near East. An
Italian army with which British units
are cooperating is reported to have
landed at Avlona on the Adriatic, with
the purpose of sweeping across Al
bania to the aid of the Serbians.
The Russian army concentrated in
Bessarabia is receiving accessions
hourly and is prepared to move
against Bulgaria from the east, If in
deed the move is not already under
way.
The dispatches from Salonica and
other points show that the Entente
allies have landed at Salonica much
larger forces than they were thought
to have available at this time. Troop
trains are leaving Salonica almost
hourly.
Big battles are under way in north
ern and eastern Serbia and on the
Montenegrin frontier.
The Austro- Germans continue their
advance, but are meeting with resist
ance at every point. They report
they have reached the Morava River
and have crossed 1t as several places.
The Montenegrins, like their Ser
bian allies, are fighting stubbornly
and have repulsed an attempt by the
Austrians to cross the border from
Herzegovina. They report they have
captured four guns, large quantity
of supplies and some prisoners. They
also have won victory over the
Austrians in the Sanjak, where they
captured four more field guns and sew
eral hundred men.
In the south the French army has
crossed the Bulgarian frontier.
II is reported that when the Bull
garians captured Nish and thus open
ed the road to Sofia and CONSTANT
nople for the Central Powers they
failed to get the supplies and muni-
tions of the Serbians, who held the
outer forts long enough to permit
them to remove everything OF mill
tary value and to blow up the maga-
zine. The Serbian army retired in
good order, with its retreat protected
by rearguard fighting.

BRYAN ATTACKS WILSON.
Takes Issue With President on Plans
for Preparedness.

Washington. - William j. Bryan
came out in the open in opposition TO
the national defense policy of Presi
dent Wilson. His attack was expect
ed and, to large extent. had been dis
counted by the Administration. In
Washington the chief interest in con.
nection with Mr.. Bryan's public crt.
cism of the President centred around
the possible political effect of break
between Mr.. Wilson and the former
senior officer Of his Cabinet, for a
break is predicted. The President and
his advisers are credited. however,
with having considered the conse
quences of a national defense policy
that would be displeasing to Mr.. Bry-
an. and the Presidents speech at the
Manhattan Club celebration in New
York is regarded as having been in
tended as an answer to Mr.. Bryan and
those like him who advocate extreme
pacifsm.
From his Washington home. Calumet
Place, Mr.. Bryan issued formal state
ment intended as a reply to the senti-
lueUtS Oh HdtlOHdl preparedness ullcIeu
by President Wilson at the Manhat-
tan Club dinner.
Mr.. Bryan, in his statement assailed
the Manhattan Club, OF which Presi-
dent Wilson is a member, as the place
where the "mammon-worshipping por-
tion of the Democratic Party meets to
exchange compliments" He said that
the Presidents advocacy of increased
national preparedness was false
philosophy" and that he had read the
Presidents ~~oech "-'ith ~~-~orr and
concern" His attack on the Presi-
dent was summarized in TINS para
graph.
From my view of this subject, the
plan which he proposes is not only a
departure from our traditions, but a
reversal of our national policy. II is
not only a menace TO our peace and
safety, but challenge TO the spirit OF
Christianity, which teaches us TO in
luence others by example rather than
by exciting fear"

HOW CHEAP RUGS
ARE MADE TO GET
HIGHEST PRICES

New York. Oct. 5.-How new rugs
are made to look antique, moth eaten
rugs to look as good as new, and how
by the process one Polonais rug bought
in Paris far Is was re-made and sold
in New York for $12,000--these were
revelations in the rug industry
brought out before Supreme Court
Justice Golf today, in a suit by Paul
H. Allo, an Oriental rug expert against
Benquist Bros. Fifth avenue rug deal
ers, for commissions which he alleged
he failed to receive. He asserted that
new rugs were made to appear old
through the use of pumics stone. In
filling up holes in old rugs, he said. it
was necessary to take the same num-
Der Of stitches as in the original and
then remove traces of the repairs by
pumice stone. He said he had prepared
cheap rugs for millionaires' homes and
his services in enhancing the value of
rugs was worth $500 day.

Massacre
Discussed
Question Before House of Lords
Virtually Whole Ma
ton Lost

London. Oct. 6.-7.35 p. M.-Reply.
ing to question by Lord Grower In
the House Of Lords today, the Mar
quis Of Crewe said that information
which had reached the government in
regard to the massacre Of Armenians
was based mainly on statements from
Tiflis.
The government, he continued, had
no official confirmation Of statements
that German consular representatives
in Asia had encouraged these horrors.
but the statements had been made by
an observer from the United States.
The government had not thought, said
the Marquis of CreWe, that any ad-
vantage would follow from an ad-
tempt to make either direct or indirec.
representations to the Turkish gov.
eminent on the subject.
Viscount Bryce, former British
ambassador to the United States, said
that such information as had reached
him from many quarters showed that
the figure of 100000 Armenians de-
si"oyed since May was quite pos
sibie number. Virtually the whole ma
ton had been wiped out. he declared,
and he did not suppose there was any
case in history of a crime $50 hideous

GREAT INCREASE :
IN POPULATION OF
RUSSIAN CITIES

London. Oct. 6.-316 A. MA dis
patch to the Times from Petrograd
says:
1.-THE populations of Petrograd, Nos
cow and other large centers have been
enormously increased recently owing
to the influx of refugees and the mo-
bilization Of 100000 men. A whole
million has been added to Petrograd's
population and the food problem has
become serious according to the cur
tailment Of the trunk line services and
the lack Of means Of transport. The
government therefore has taken the
food supply Of the capital into it's own
hands.
