U. S. WIRELESS CENSORS
RELIEVED FROM POSTS
Allowed Transmission of Unneutral
Messages Is Charge.

Lieut.. Charles s. Clarke. Of the navy.
has been relieved OF duty as wireless
censor at the Sayville station. Lieut. H
s. Keep has likewise been relieved OF
duty at Siasconset
The removal OF the two officers was
due to the request OF a foreign nation,
understood to be Great Britain, and was
based on charges that they had per
mitted the transmission OF urneutral mes
sages.
1t was stated unofficially yesterday that
the messages which led to the removal Of
the two officers related to the German
submarine U-53.
The order for the reassiCnment Of Lieut..
Clarke was issued on October Is, five
days after the U-53 sank several vessels
near the Nantucket Lightshlp. The date
OF Lieut.. Keeps removal could not be
learned at the Navy Department. A
great effort has been made to keep the
whole matter secret.
1t is understood that the request for
the removal OF the two officers was re-
ceived by the Navy Department from the
State Department in such form that the
Navy Department had no option but to
grant 1t.

direct streams of flaming liquids against
the opposing trenches.
They advanced behind a perfect screen
of liquid fire. but the well-directed fire
of the French artillery not only broke
up their molten curtain, but broke up
the ranks OF the onrushing infantry.
A hot machine gun fire poured into the
Teuton columns from the French
trenches completed the rout and the sur
vivors hurriedly sought the cover OF their
own trenches.
Following gains Gen. Foch's troops

Verdun front, they kept up their furious
bombardment of the French on the Hau-
dromont-Douaumont sector.

New York, Oct 29-The statement at
tributed to Luis Cabrera, charging Presi-
dent Wilson with inconsistencies amount
ing to bad faith revived the Mexican
controversy here today with startling ef-
feet.
As soon as the Cabrera statement
reached Shadow Lawn. telephone wires
between the executive Offices and Wash
ingtOn were made busy. Later it was
announced Ambassador Designate Ar
redondo authorized a denial from Cabrera
which amounted almost to an apology.
An hour later there was communicated
to Secretary Tumulty extracts from a
magazine article which quote First Chief
Carranza. Alvero Obregon, Pablo Con-
zales and Candido Aguilar. They were
strangely similar in language and sub
stance to the charges alleged to have
been made by Cabrera. A copy OF the
information was telegraphed to Secretary
Lansing and late this evening word came
from Washington that Senior Arrendondo
was again ready to make satisfactory
Ienlals.

New York, Oct. 29-"The campaign is
practically ended and there is nothing to
it but the election of Hughes" said Will
lam r. Wilcox. chairman of the Re-
publican committee at Republican ma
tional headquarters here today When
the votes are counted on the night of
November it will be found that at least
3l4 Hughes and Fairbanks electors have
been chosen and 1t may be considerable
number more. look for an old-tilne Re-
publican victory. Everything points that
way.
Remember that this is a Republican
country. There are more Republicans in
IL than there are Democrats. The Repub-
licans outnumber the Democrats in nor
NAL times by more than a million. They
outnumber the Democrats in many
States. and the aggregate OF the cleo
toral votes Of the sure Republican States
is much greater than the aggregate OF
the electoral votes of the sure Demo-
cratic States
1T Is only when the Republican party
is suffering from some untoward circum-
stances such as operated against it four
years ago that the Democrats have any
chance to win a national election in this
country"

CRITICISM HELD
RESULT OF PLOT
Administration Officials Be-
ieve Mexican Officials
Act IN Concert.

Administration officials profess to be-
neve that the highest officials Of the Mex
lean government, including Gen. Car
rama. are making a concerted attempt
to affect the political situation in the
United States. This belief is based on an
extraordinary number of statements,
criticising the administration and attack
ing American oHiciaS, that have come to
the attention OF the State Department in
the last twenty-four hours.
The statement was given out here Sat-
Urday by the Mexican Embassy's oficial
news bureau. and credited to Luis Ca
ersra, which Cabrera disavowed yestsr-
Gay. was in part substantiated yesterday
by the Mexican Embassy
CHrranzR Also Critical.
Almost simultaneously with these
statements the State Department has re-
ceived from its agents in Mexico City
copies OF interviews authorized by Car
rama, accusing President Wilson Of fail
ure to keep faith with Mexico, and a
statement by Gen. Pablo Gonzales, pub
lished in CarranZa's official organ in Mex
leo City, accusing Mr.. Wilson OF lack Of
frankness and OF an ''unclean" policy.
The Cabrera denial Of the interview
characteriZing American border officials
as ''supine" is considered here as diplo-
matte, but sufficient to prevent this gov
ernment from taking official cognizance
Ambassador designate ArrendOndo made
this statement concerning it yesterday:
Speaking about the situation in gen.
eral, and especially in Chihuahua, as to
how Villa had been able to cause such
alarm, Mr.. Cabrera said. not for publica-
tiOn and without expectation that his re-
marks would be used:
" The American government could help
US by increasing its vigilance to prevent
ammunition from getting into the hands
of Villa and by expeIling from the United
States a great number OF Mexican refu-
gees who are very we'll known as enemies
Of the de facto government Of Mexico.
This the American government could do
strictly within the province Of American
neutrality laws"
Written without Authority.
Mr Arrsdondo declared that the above
statement represented all Cabrera said.
lie added that the statement was writ
ten without authority, with the writer as
sUminE to compose the statement under
Cabrera's name.
Cabrera, in addition to being chairman
of the Mexican section OF the joint
American Mexican Commission, over
whose sessions he presides alternately
with Secretary Lane, is secretary Of
finance of Mexico. The fact that hk is
considered the strongest man in the Mex
lean cabinet added, In the view of Of
ficials here, to the gross improperly Of
his statement.
The offense against the government, in
the Cabrera-Arredondo utterances, It was
raid, was that Cabrera, as the represent
itive of the Mexican government, made
representations to the American press
rather than to the commission or to the
State Department. II a diplomat had
been guilty # such an affront, 1t was
said. as was the case in the instance of
Rustem Bey, the Turkish Ambassador to
his country. he would render himself
persona non grata and his recall would
be requested by the State Department.
