Measures to Provide for Poor.

nicipal coal office has two carloads OF
coal purchased secretly outside of this

BREAK WITH U. S.
CarranZa Plans to Issue Dec
IaratiOn of War Soon.
Would Rather Be Licked by
Uncle Sam Than by Villa.

Ell Paso. Tex, Dec. 3O.-Mexico will
declare war against the United States
within ninety days or sooner if Villa
succeeds in taking Tampico and the
rich oil properties there.
This is the information received
from mining men who have been in
close touch with their agents in Mex
leo.
The information set forth that Car
ranza's declaration of war against the
United States was certain within
ninety days and might take place
within month, but that the taking of
Tampico at any time would be the
signal. The excuse will be the refusal
of the United States to withdraw Cen
eral Pershing's punitive expedition.
To Thwart Villa.
The real reason for such a move is
declared to be Carranzas unwilling
ness to be humiliated by being deposed
by Villa. The loss of the rich Tam
pico oil fields. Carranza's chief source
of revenue, would be the final crush
ing blow to the de facto chief The
fact that Villa is near to taking this
town is strengthened by reports that
Saltillo has fallen into his hands.
Saltillo is only fifty miles from Mon
terey, which is expected to be occu-
pied by the bandit forces with little
trouble. Saltillo is the second town
between Torreon and Monterey taken
by Villa, San Pedro having been cap
tured last Monday.
Carranza's idea is that he will fare
better at the hands of the United
States at the end of a war than he
would at the hands of Villa and that
it would be less humiliating. Those
close intOuch with internal affairs de-
clare that the fall of his government
is close at hand.

Resents Germany's Attempt to
Shift Responsibility.
Reply to Germany Delivered
This Afternoon in Paris.
REPRESENTS TEN NATIONS
''Germany Wanted, Provoked
and Declared the War;"
Spurned Efforts to Avert War
and RaVished Belgium.

Paris, Dec. 3O.-The allies to-
day formally refused to enter
peace negotiations with Ger
many without knowing what
conditions the Teutonic powers
have to propose.
The note of the allies replying
to Germany as announced this
evening, charges that the Ger
man proposal appears more like
a war measure than a peace pro-
position.
Paris. Dec. S0.-The allied reply to
the German peace proposals was de-
Iivered TO neutral diplomats here this
afternoon.
The note first resents Germany's at
tempt to throw On the allies the re-
sponsibility of war.
The note handed to the diplomats
at Z O'Clock. said:
The allied governments OF Bel
eiur. France. Great Britain, Italy
Japan. Mont enegro. Portugal, Russia
Rumania and Serbia, united. IN the
defense Of .he liberty of people in true
ssrlracerleut. have decided collectively
to answer the so-called peace prcposai.
Victory Claim Untrue"
"First of all the allies protest
against the enemy's assertions at
tempting to throw on the allies re-
sponsibility for the war
Also the proclamation OF the cen
trail pow ers claiming victory. BCth as
sertions are untrue.
For thirty months the allies have
sustained the war which they dld the
utmost to prevent and they have
showed ~ their acts their attachment
FOR peace.
This attachment is just as strong
TO-DAY as in 1914.
The proposal appears more IKE a
war maneuver than an offer of peace.
"As far as the past is concerned
the tCierman) note ignores facts, dates
and figures showing that Germany
wanted. provoked and declared the
war.
AT The Hague, it was the German
delegation that refused the disarma-
ment proposal in July, 1914. 1t was
Austria that declared war on Serbia
THE central powers refused all at
tempts to stop the conflict; they re-
fused England's offer for a conference; {;
Frances offer for an international
commission, and the cars arbitration
proposal.
Belgium was invaded by the empire
which proclaimed that treaties were
scraps of paper"
