Carranza Need

Protocol

Washington, Nov. 2S.--Heavy eXpendi-
his desperate fights with Villa at Clihua-
hua Is expected here to result in strong
pressure upon Gen. Carranza for prompt
ratification of the protocol signed at A.
lantic City by the Mexican-American
commission. Although no representation
was made by the Mexican members look
ing to lifting of the embargo on arms
and ammunition. they were given to I'M
derstand that consideration would be
given to such representation If Carranza
displayed a willingness to enter into an
agreement whose basic principles would
be the protection of the life and proper
ty of foreigners in Mexico.
Information has reached the govern
ment from some sources indicating that
Gen. Obregon, Mexican. minister of war
had not supplied the Chihuahua arsenal
as literally as he could have, but in off,
cial Mexican quarters there was denial
of this today and a reiteration of the as
sertion that the shortage extended to the
general stores.
Mexican officials do not minimize the
Importance of Villas renewed strength,
but few believe it will assume such pro-
portions as to alter the plan of the Unit

TREVINO RETREAT
Continued from Page One)

Paso to the effect that Gen. Trevino
has been forced to abandon the state
capital because his ammunition supply
was exhausted. One report stated that
Cen. Trevino had gone south toward
Taplaopa where he made his last stand
Yesterday before retiring further south.
Other reports say his forces became d.
vided, a Part going south to join Gen,
Murguia's advancing column. and the
remainder moving north to Sauz.
High Carranza officials as well as Off
GERS of Gen. Gonzales staff admitted
that these reports might be true and
said it was possible that Gen. TreVmo
had been forced to withdraw temporari-
ly, until Gen. Murguia arrived with
fresh troops and ammunition supplies.
The temporary commander of the gar
Gen. Trevino had retired to SauZ to get
ammunition from the north and to wait
for Murgua's arrival to the south of
the city.
Reports that refugees. including Am
orleans and other foreigners, had reach
ed Terrazas today and also that Gen.
Carlos Ozuna had arrived there with
the remnants of his cavalry column,
were received here from various sources
but could not be verified.
General Francisco Gonzales. who left
Juarez early today with a force of men,
machine guns and a carload of ammu-
milton, is expected to return tomorrow.
He left to make a scouting trip.

London, Nov. 2S.-With the forces
of the Central Powers in possession
according to German official reports
which hitherto have proved accurate
with regard to recent events in Ru-
mania-of Curtea De Argos, an im-
portant railway 40 miles southwest of
the capital anxiety as ia the fate of
Bucharest is greatly increased.
Field Marshal Won MackenZen's cap
ture of Giurgiu shows that his army
has advanced 80 miles in a single day.
Further. Bulgarian official commune
cation claims that the Danube has
been crossed near LON Palanaka and
the town Of kalafatu, opposite Vidin
captured
Nothing is yet admitted by the Ru-
manians of these enemy advances, but
it is assumed that the Rumanians are
continuing their orderly retirement
toward the line of the Argesiu river
A danger, however lies in the posi-
bility of this retirement not being eff
fected quickly enough to prevent an
attack on their flank from Won Mack
enzen's forces at Giurgiu from which
point there is both rail and direct road
communication to Bucharest.
1t is impossible to doubt that the
situation is being viewed with the
greatest misgivings. The question is
being frankly asked whether the ac-
cession of Rumania to the allies cause
has brought strength or weakness,
whether Russia has rendered the as
sistance which might have been ex-
pected from her and whether the al
lies might not have shown more mi
tiative in an attack from Saloniki:
whether the collapse in Rumania is
due to any lack of unity in the allies
plans or strategy or whether it is due
IN large part to Rumania's hasty
invasion of Pennsylvania.
On the other side of the account if
has been noted that continued confidence
is being displayed in Rumanian mill
tary and political circles, where the
suggestion that Russia has not render
ed all possible aid is warmly repudi-
ated and the Rumanians appear fully
convinced that it will not be long be-
fore the real efforts Russia is making
will bear effective fruit They point
out that the Germans have failed to
secure any great number Of prisoners
or guns and that the position of the
Rumanian armies in the matter of guns

OF MARINA CASE

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Count Won

day had no information from his gov
eminent regarding the sinking of the
steamship Marina. with loss of Ameri-
can life but he was interested in news
from Berlin. published recently. intimat-
ing that the vessel had been torpedoed
in mistake for transport and that Ger
many would offer full reparation.
The embassy is confident that If the
Marina was illegally torpedoed steps
necessary to satisfy the United States
would be taken. The same view is held
regarding the case Of the P. & o. Lin

Two Zeppelins Are
Brought Down and
Destroyed During

London, Nov. 28.-Two Zeppelins
which raided the northeast coast and
the North Midland counties during

stroyed by British airmen and it is

German airships destroyed in Eng

have been brought down inN other
fields OF operations.
One woman was killed and 16 per-
sons were injured in the Zeppelin
raid. The airships dropped 100 bombs.
The two months of immunity which
Great Britain had had from hostile
air raids, led many persons to believe
the Germans would not risk any more
Of their airships in attacks which.
while causing numerous casualties
arcrg civilians and damage to pri
waite property, were said in England
to have gained no military advantage
for them. The authorities. regarding
the protection of London as fairly
complete, continued their work, how
ever. with the object of rendering
other parts of the country safe.
The success of the air patrols this
morning has given the greatest sat
isfaction here.
Official reports do not say how
many airshipS crossed the coast, but
apparently they were bombarded so
severely by anti-aircraft guns. as well
.as being attacked by airplanes, that
they were unable to do much dam
age. Lights We're turned out in all the
towns in the districts affected as soon
as reports of the approach of airShipS
were announced and the commanders
of the Zeppelins had difficulty in To-
eating themselves.
A number of bombs were dropped. al
though no reports Of damage in any
towns have been received thus far.
One Zeppelin discharged her cargo of
explosives in Yorkshire and Durham.
She was attacked by airplanes and guns
and apparently damaged. but effected
repairs after reaching the Norfolk
coast and started for home at high
speed and at high altitude.
Naval airplanes were awaiting her

brought her down before she had gone

Propose Scheme
Handling Milk
Maine Producesr

Portland, Me-, Nov. 2S.-What may
prove means of settling the present
existing grievances between the
farmers of the middle eastern section
of this State and the Portland deal
ers who are now handling milk ship
ped from their farms along the Maine
Central and Grand Trunk, is contain
ed in the proposition that is now I'M
der way. This project has already
been taken up with the Maine Central
Railroad Office at this city and con-
Germs the erection near their line of a
receiving and distributing station, and
here will be handled, not only the
milk from the various farmers now
shipping to Portland. but all of the
farm products, including cream. but
ter. apples, potatoes, etc.
Farmers Unions throughout the
State are being interested in the
movement now on foot and those of
Cumberland and York counties have
already displayed an active interest in
the plan, and are urging the co-opera-
ton of those of other parts of the
State Some few thousand dollars
osition and as many contributions
have been made, little difficulty in Sc
curing the sum necessary to develop
the project. 1t is estimated that a re-
ceiving and distributing station. such
as would be needed for this section,
could be erected for $4,000 or $4,000.
The object of the station would not be
solely to handle the products of the
Maine farmers and avoid any differences,
but the plan would also be carried
through with the idea of bringing the
consumers of Portland and vicinity into
closer relationship with the farmers. 1T
is believed by those behind the plan that
proper management would assure the
farmers a better price for their products
and would also make it possible to supply
the consumers at lower rate than they
are now obliged to pay. Teams or auto
mobiles would be operated throughout
of the products sent to the station. In
the event that at the close of any one
year a surplus of cash was on hand. this
would be so disposed of during the fol-
lowing 10 months that the consumers as
we'll as the farmers would share in it's
division.
1t is planned to hold a meeting in the
very near future to further discuss the
plan on foot and to enlist additional CO.
operation in carrying the matter through.
