Americans in Mexican Train
Under Constant Bandit Fire
By Assoeia,cd Press

New York, Feb. S.-A party of four
American mining engineers who ar
rived here to-day from Vera Cruz on
the steamer Esperanza reported that
the train on which they travelled from
Mexico City TO Vera Cruz had been un-
der constant fire from bandits through
out the entire journey.
The engineers said they left Mexico
City two weeks ago and Travelled in
an armored car which carried four
three-inch guns. According to their
story, the whole territory between the
Mexican capital and the seacoast is in
tested with bandits.
DIR. John r. Davis, an American
physician at Mexico City, was quoted
as saying there were several thousand
cases of typhus fever in the capital
and that smallpox was raging at Tam
pico. The engineers asserted that Car
ranZa's power was waning and that
General Obregon was the man of the
hour in Mexico City.

Big GERMAN AND
ALLIED GUNS in
TERRIFIC DUEL
Entire Franco-Belgian Front
Is Active; Russ and Teu-
tons Deadlocked
TURKS ARE DRIVEN BACK
Being Pressed Westward
Kitchener to Be Sent to
Egypt, Is Report

Except for the continuation OF the
intensive bombardment along the
Franco-Belgian front, there are few
reports of activity from the major
fields of military operations. Whether
the notable play of the German,
French and British guns on hostile
positions is preparatory to important
infantry operations or is for minor
purposes is not apparent.
The current of official statements
as well as independent reports indi-
cate the continuation OF a state of
quietude along the broad front where
Russians and Teutons have been fac
ing each other for months past with
few changes of territory.
Only in the Caucasus, apparently,
are the Russian armies active. The
Petrograd war office reports continued
advances there against the Turks, both
north and south of Erzerum. the Rus
sian forces having pressed further
westward along the black sea coast
and along the northern shores of Lake
Van.
To Transfer Kitchener
Reports were current in London that
Field Marshal Earl Kitchener is to
take over the command of the British
forces in Egypt and that the Earl OF
Derby, who has been in charge of re-
cruiting, is to be the new secretary of
Stdtt lbt Wal. IGSS TtDOIlS are uH-
confirmed.
General Polivanoff. Russian minis
ter of war, is quoted to-day as de-
claring that the Russian munitions
crisis is now a thing of the past and
that the system of handling recruits
is such that the units of the Russian
army can now be kept up to their full
strength with fully trained men.
The French have been making ef-
forts to regain territory they lost some
ten days ago south, of the river
Somme, but according to Berlin they
were unsuccessful, their attacks which
were preceded by intensive artillery
preparation, being repulsed.
The airmen on this front again have
been active, a squadron of German
aeroplanes attacking British camps in
Belgium.
Petrograd has information that
there have been recent transfers OF
large bodies of German troops to the
west front, which is held there to in
dicate that the Germans are preparing
again to devote the greater part OF
their strength to the war areas in
France in Belgium.

Jitncurs Want Own Ideas

Secret jitney service is not only pos-~
sible under the present city regula-

the bond requirements TO guard
against this method of avoiding the
fines and penalties of the measure.
SO eX-Congressman A. r. Rupley,
counsel for the organized jitney men
of Harrisburg told City Council this
morning in urging the commissioners
tC substitute new regulations as
framed by the iitneurs, for the present
rules.
Council took no definite action
other than to suggest that copies Of
the iitneymcn's regulations be typed
and copies prepared for councilmcn's
perusal.
Mr.. Rupley mentioned the secret
service possibilities in urging the
adoption of the iitneurs plan although
he declared that he did not know de-
fnitely that such a practice was be-
ing followed out here. The strlngency
of the jitney regulations all over the
country are fast driving the chauifeurs
to go into business in this way. he
declared. The licensing of the jitney
men is the most certain method that
could be employed to stop this.

some sort of crisis in the European
situation, some critics believe.
Harden said that the delusion pre-
vailed that Germany for years had
prepared for war and that the entente
powers, therefore, had only to wait
until this handicap was overcome. As
matter of fact. he said the Germans
won victories because they were able
