Z El Paso, Jan. IA. = Gen. Victoriano
Huerta, former provisional president
Of Mexico, died here last night.
General Victoriano Huerta was a
professional soldier, and as such he
had, up the overthrow of President
Francisco Madero, been known for his
loyal support of the existing govern
ments. He fought Loyalty for Presi-
dent Porfirio Diaz until his fall, ana
when Diaz was no longer chief execu-
tive, Huerta fought for Francisco de
la Barra, the provisional president.
After Francisco Madero was elected
Huerta found it to be his duty to sup
port one who had so long fought as a
rebel. His loyalty was not challenged
until the Felix Diaz revolution in Mex
leo City in February 1913 when the
Madero government was completely
overthrown and Huerta himself Ae-
waited to the presidency.
Huerta devoted himself to the mill
tary career at very early age. Born
at Chihuahua in 1854, he entered the

London, Jan. ID. - 1t was
authoritatively announced that the
reported offensive of the Teutonio
allies against SaIoniki did not oc-
cur. Rumors that the attack had
been begun against the forces of
the allies apparently originated in
the activity of the French in
blowing up the bridges connect
ing SaIoniki with a road over
which the attackers would nor
maIIy travel. The bridges de-
stroyed by the French were not
only at Deair Hissar on the
Strussa in the neiehborhood Of
Series, but also at KiIindir, south
Of Doiran. All the bridges de-
stroyed are in Greek territory.

The British reply to the charges is an
unqualified denial by Field Marshal
French, in command of the troops at the
time of the alleged cruelties, which is
supported by statements from officers
along the front where the cruelties are
alleged to have occurred. In his denial
General French says:
1.-The reports show that nothing is
known of the ill-treatment of German
prisoners. On the contrary there were nc
trees in that locality to which a German
officer could have been tied. as alleged
The general officer commanding the In

General French adds that the evidence
is conclusive that there were no such

statement Of Gen. Anderson Of the Indian
troops cites a number of instances where
Indians rescued Germans who had been

ASQU|TH Gives
CASUALTY LIST
UP TO JANUARY 8

London, Jan. 2s.-O053 A. M.).-Premier
Asquith, in written reply to a request
for information, says that the total Brit
ish casualties in all fields Of operation
up to Jan. 9 were 19.467, of which 2,122
were officers and 525.345 Of other ranks.
The winters inactivity on the fighting
lines is reflected in the comparatively
light losses of the British during the last
few weeks. The previous official British
report. made by Premier Asquith on Dec.
"a. gave casualties up to Deb. at 52s2 27,
showing loss in the intervening month
of 2l,240, or 6S5 daily. During the heav-
lest fighting British casualties have run
far in excess of this average. They
amounted to 5000 in the battle of Loos
alone, in a period of two weeks last fall.
The monthly average from the beginning
Of the war is about $1,000.
The British losses in the month pre-
ceding the period covered in today's re-
port were still smaller. The total from
Nov. to Dec. 9 was 1887.

for active perseverance. But we do
not long for peace. The enemy start
