an old copy of an army order with

Zled and old General Victoriano Huer-
Ia watched the ceremony OF trooping
the colors at the United States army
post and stood at attention when the
colors that he had once refused to
salute were furled for the day to the
national air.
AS the colors billowed from the
masthead the aged general stood at
attention, his heels clicked together
and he delivered that long delayed sa-
lutte, the refusal of which had almost
plunged his country and the United
States into warfare.
Beside him on a camp cot sat six.

hands and a scowl of defiance on his
lean wolf-like face, as if he would
attempt to gain his liberty by force.
Steps into Arms of Marshal.
Twelve hours before at the little
desert station of Newlan, n. NJ, among
the Yucca cactus, General Huerta had
stepped from the Chicago flyer into
the arms of a United States deputy
marshal who had a warrant for his
arrest on q charge of conspiracy TO

into a waiting automobile and was
driven to this city. As General Huer.

tons on Heights of Meuse.

London, June 20. - Not since the
war began has the English public been
so convinced that it will be a long
one. Those who took this view
months ago were called pessimists,
but now it is generally admitted that
the Russian armies must fight for
months under tremendous disadvan-
tages and that in the meantime the
much heralded big general movement
on the western front must be indef-
nitely postponed while the entente
powers thoroughly %reorganize their
methods.
While the campaign for munitions
in Great Britain is at its height it
must be assumed that Germany is
straining every fiber to the same end
and calling into play her inventive
skill so as to increase the deadly
m~echanisms of wal to Offset the in
eVitable and terrible drain on her
men.
Germans Press Toward Warsaw.
The present consensus of opinion
among military writer's in London is
that Germany intends further to press
her Eastern victories with another
gathering stroke toward Warsaw in an
endeavor to seize that city and the
whole line Of the Vistula.
The line Of offensive now directed
from the ~Przasnysz region is along
the valleys of Omulew and OrZyc. trib.
utaries of the River Narew. which
flows across North Poland and Joins
the bend OF the Vistula above Warsaw
In that section on the heights of the
Meuse known as the Calonne trench, a
violent engagement has been charac-
terized by the use Of flaming liouid
and a~sphyxiating gases by the Ger
mans, behind which they succeeded in
reaching their former first line. which
had been carried some time previous
ly by the French. Here hand-to-hand
encounters ensued. and, according TO
the French war office, the Germans
were repulsed with heavy losses. This
territory in almost it's entirety is
held by the French.
Claim Allies Repulsed.
The Germans claim that attempts
by he Allies on the heights OF the
Meuse to ~recapture territory have
been repulsed and hat a ridge of hills
directly southeast of Les EparGes has
fallen into German hands.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ENTER MEXICO CITY
GONZALES ALREADY OCCUPIES
CONSIDERABLE PORTION OF
CAPITAL, SAYS REPORT.
CONDITIONS WORSE
Fears Expressed That Much Suffering
to Foreigners Will Follow Invest
ment by New Army-Carranza
Promises Protection.

New Orleans, June 2S.-Constitu-
tionalist troops under General Pablo
Gonzales already have occupied a
considerable portion of Mexico City,
according to Vera Cruz reports re-
ceived here by Constitutionalist con-
sular officials. Troops under Zapata
had evacuated parts of the city before
the entrance of Gonzales, it was said.
Anxiety at Washington.
Washington, June 26.-Apxiety has
increased in official quarters over the
situation in Mexico City, with which
the state department has been unable
to communicate by telegraph for sew
eral days.
Reports that Gonzales was engaged
in an artillery duel with the Zapatis-
tas at Mexico City gave the first indi-
cation that the Villa-Zapata forces in
the capital had determined to offer
resistance to the invading Carranza
army instead of ~evacuating.
Reliable information indicates that
General Gonzales himself cut the lines
of communication between Vera Cruz
and Mexico City in order to isolate
the Zapata force. This prevents the
state department from communicate
ing with the Brazilian minister and
deprives all other foreign governments
of information concerning their diplo-
matte missions and subjects.
Famine Grows Worse.
Famine conditions in Mexico City
have been growing worse daily, and
with the investment by a new army
In progress, fears are expressed that
much suffering to foreigners will en-
sue.
While il has been generally under
stood that there will be no further
development in the general Mexican
situation as far as the United States
is concerned until the return OF Presi-
dent Wilson from Cornish, 1t is
thought In official quarters that the
situation in the southern capital may
force a new crisis.
To Guard Foreigners Lives.
General C~arranza has given the
American government formal assur.
ances that every effort will be made
by General Gonzales to guard the
lives and property OF foreigners, II
his troops enter the city. 1t is feared
however, that the fighting may be car.
ried into the old capital by the con-
tending forces, although the diploma
tic corps hitherto has been successful
in p~ersuading the garrison to evacu
ate rather than give battle in the
streets.

FORMER MEXICAN DICTATOR AND
ORozco CHARGED WITH
NEUTRALITY VIOLATION.
DRIVEN RAPIDLY TO FL PAS0
q Are Taken TO Fort Bliss at
Request of Mayor-conspiracy to
lncite Revolution Against
Friendly Country Alleged.

Ell Paso. Texas, June 29.-General
Victoriano Huerta, nee president of
Mexico, was seized by United States
officers and, escorted by cavalry, TAX
en- to Fort Bliss, charged with con-
spiracy to incite a revolution against
a friendly country and released on
$4,000 bonds. Gen. Pascual Orozco,
once a military leader in Mexico, was
taken into custody with General Huer-
ia, similarly charged with violation of
neutrality laws and released on bonds
of $500.
General Huerta, who had come to
the United States several weeks ago
from Spain. whittier he exiled him
self when he vas unable to retain
control longer in Mexico City, had
been under surveillance from the time
he left New York a few days ago,
ostensibly for San Francisco. After
Huerta left Chicago, westward bound,
reports began to reach Ell Paso thai
he was bound for this city.
!Uninvitsd Military Escort.
1t was rather openly announced that
the general would leave the train on
which he travelled and come to FL
Paso from Newman, n. NJ, 20 miles
distant. This proved to be true, but
he came with military escort not Of
his choosing.
Federal officers had learned Of his
plan and lack l.. Cobb, collector Of
customs at Ell Paso, and Clifford Beck
ham, agent for the Federal depart
ment OF justice, took several Federal
officers and 25 cavalrymen from Fort
Bliss and net the train at Newman.
The United States officers found Gen
eral Huerta at the station, accom-
panied by OroZco and Major Luis
Fuentes, a son-in-law of Huerta. The
Mexican generals took the affair in
good humor.

Taken to Ei paso.

The MeXicans were taken in an au-
so. A plan by friends Of Huerta TO
serenade him as he arrived brought
large crowds to the streets, but the
assemblies were hurriedly broken up
as word spread that Federal soldiers
were escorting the general towards
Eel Paso. Conferences were held by
Mexican leaders and then a large
throng assembled near the Federal
building, whittier Huerta and Orozco
were taken.
Mayor Lee, fearing that there might
be a demonstration that would start
a riot, requested that the generals be
taken to Fort Bliss until the depart
ment OF justice should Indicate what
should be done with them. This re-
quest was granted. and the Mexicans
were taken to the fort.
Violation Of Neutrality Charge.
After Washington had been consult
ed, charges of violation Of the neu-
trality laws were made against Huer-
ia and Orozco. The men o arrang-
ed bonds and were released.
The release of the Mexican leaders
caused nearly as great a stir in Mex

news of their detention. Immediately
there was a revival of rumors relative

possible effect of President Wilson's

When asked why he had visited Ell
