Washington, Dec. 30.-An entirely

completed and under consideration by
President Wilson. According to the
most authoritative sources, this proposed
new plan will take the following
course:
General Pershing's forces now in
northern Mexico, will be ordered within
the border.
Thereafter the Mexican-American
commissioners viii reopen negotiations
to clear up such pending questions as
border patrol, protection of American
lives and property in Mexico and pos.

With King Albert's army in Bel
gium, Dec. 15.-(By maii)-Behind
barriers of water that are more impas
sable than the strongest barbed wire
en.anglements, the Belgian army is
holding its part of the western battle
front and training and waiting for the
day when more of Belgium can be
wrested from the enemy.
The Belgian army which now holds
all of Belgium not in Germany s hands
is situated in perhaps the most unique
fighting position of any of the bellig-
erent forces. 1t is out of fighting
touch with the enemy except by ar
tillery firing. For the most part the
Germans are mile distant-and inter
vening, in place of No Mans Land, is
No Man S Water. The Belgian system
of inundating defenses' through the
river User, the User canal and various
inundated districts puts a unique bar
ricr between the two forces.
Thanks in part to the allies help
slaid in part to Belgium's own indomi-
table SiArit and the industry Of her
aenRae King Albert Is army will not
be Obliged to suffer this winter the
hardshfps and privations that fell to its
lot the first two winters Of the war.
The Belgian army-has been completely
re-equipped and outfitted. In part the
equipment has been furnished by the
allies, yet a goodly portion is due to
the Belgians themselves. They have
established numerous factories not on
ly on the nemnant OF Belgian soil still
left to them, but also in France.
These factories not only supply the
troops, but give employment to thous-
ands Of Belgian refugees
Thanks to the efficiency Of their
water barriers, the Belgians are not
subject to German infantry attacks.
They have to Withstand only artillery
lIring and they are now equipped to
give adequate answer to this sort Of
combat They have constructed dug
outs and otherAshelters and with their
new equipment, the army is able to
keep reasonably warm, dry and com
