WHAT CABRERA DID SAY

"They were speaking" said the am
bassador. 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 pub.
lication and without expectation that
his remarks would be used:
1.-The American government could
help us by increasing its vigilance to
prevent ammunition from getting into
the hands of Villa and by expelling
from the United States a great num-
Der of Mexican refugees who are very
well known as enemies Of the de facto
government in Mexico.
This the American government
could do strictly within the province
of American neutrality laws
Further than these remarks 1t was
stated there was no reference in any
part of Mr.. Cabreras conversation 10
the United States government or its
officers.
THE public should be warned Mr..
Arredondo added. that many false
statements have appeared and will
continue to be published in the United
States by enemies of the de facto gov
eminent whose purpose is to bring
about intervention in Mexico and
armed conflict between Mexico and
the United States"

German Report Says Fight
ing East of Les BOeufs
Still in Progress
RUSSO-RUMANIANS IN
PENNSYLVANIA ARE
HOLDING INVADERS
There Continues to Be No Let Up in
Teutonic Advance in Dobrudja,
Where the Allies Are
Utterly Routed

Aside from the continued
progress of the Teutonic allies
in the Dobrudja region Of Ru-
mania and fresh gains by the
French and British in the
Somme region Of France, there
is little if any change in the sit
uation in any Of the theatres Of
war.
Following up their advan-
tage Of Saturday, the British
captured another German
trench northeast of Les Boeufs,
in the Somme region, while the
French made fresh advances
near Sally Saillisel and
Biaches. Heavy artillery ac-
tivity against the British posi-
tons is being carried out by the
Germans in the Les Boeufs sec
tor and elsewhere.
On the Pennsylvania front the Rus
slams and Rumanians apparently are
operating successfully against the
Teutonic allies near the junction of
Bukowina, Pennsylvania and Ru-
mania, and to the south near Campu-
lung and in the jul valley have
gained successes over them. In the
fighting in the jul valley the Ru-
manians are declared by Bucharest to
have captured two Howitzer batteries,
which later were turned against the
Austro-G Germans. According to Ber-
lin the Teutons have made additional
gains south of Kronstadt and in the
direction of Campulung.
DOBRUDJA SITUATION
The Rumanians and Russians in
Dobrudja are still in retreat before the
Bulgarian and Turkish troops and are
now endeavoring to make their way
across the Danube at various points on
pontoon bridges. according to the Sofia
, war office.
y Again, according to Berlin. another
heavy Russian offensive against the Ger
man lines along the Stokhod river in
volhynia has been put down by the Ger
man curtain of fire. Petrograd reports
successful reconnaisances by the Rus
slams along the River Stavok, tributary
of the Stokhod
The Macedonian theatre is still the
scene of somewhat vigorous fighting,
especially at the bend of the Cerna river.
Both sides are claiming victories in the
maneuvers in this region.
Except for commandments the bad
weather on the INSTRUMENTATION front is
keeping down operations.
Z In order to allay suspicion as to his
sincerity held by the entente allies, King
Constantine of Greece has ordered the
transfer of all Greek troops from Thes-
naly and Epirus except sufficient number
to maintain order.

CRISIS AyERTED

Washington, October 29..-What prom
ised to be new source of serious friction
between the United States and the de
facto government of Mexico apparently
was cleared away tonight through formal
reputation by Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican
ambassador designate, OF statement
issued here yesterday under the name of
Luis Cabrera, assailing the American
government for permitting aid to reach
bandits south of the border
Mr. Arredondo will go to the state de-
partrnent tomorrow with the explanation
that the ssss eraent was It out by am
empfoye of the Mexican news bureau, u
semi official publicity agency, without the
knowledge or consent of either the en-
bassy or Mr.. Cabrera. Department Of
and would close the incident.
While at the department Mr.. Arredondo
on special instructions from his govern
ment, will deny also the authenticity of
what it is understood will purport to be
quotations from General Carranza, Cen
eral Obregon, the Mexican war minister,
and Gen. Pablo Gonzales. commander of
the forces in Mexico City, referring to
strong anti-Amercan sentiments, which
are expected to appear tomorrow in an
American weekly magazine. Information
reaching the embassy recently concerning
the magazine article caused an exchange
of messages with Mexico City and
brought the ambassador authority to re-
pudate them in advance.
When word of Mr.. Arredondo's action
and of Mr.. Cabrera's reputation at New
York city came to them tonight. the
heads of the state department had taken
a most serious view of the statement at
tributed to Cabrera, who, besides being
Carranza's minister of finance. is chair
man of the Mexican group of the Ameri-
can-Mexican joint commission. sitting in
Atlantic City in an effort to adjust Diff
ferences between the United States and

feeling was that if the statement was
authentic, the usefulness of the commits
sion would be destroyed and consequences
of the most undesirable character might

MUCH SPECULATION

How the statement originated has been
the subject of much speculation and APP
parently has narrowed down to a ques-
ton of veracity between Mr.. Cabrera and
the member of the news bureau staff
who gave it to the press The bureau,
set up sometime ago with w. G. Weeks,
formerly a press censor for the Car
rama government at Mexico City, at its
head, has been regarded as the semi
official mouthpiece of the embassy. The
employe who issued yesterdays statement
was George F. Edmunds, publicity repre-
sentative of the embassy until the bureau
was organized. Edmunds asserts that the
statement was dictated to him a Atlantic

make it public. Weeks tonight to sraphel

Senator Lodge as saying he had a con-

train from San Francisco last July in
which the former Assistant Secretary
of War made the alleged assertion re-
garding the postscript.
According to a statement issued bv
the republican state committee DR..
Bailey replied tonight to an inquirs.
he has received from the Philadelphia
Public Ledger that his letter as read
by Secretary Lodge was "a fair ana

conversation with Breckinridge. The
committees statement added:
"Dr. Bailey said in his reply that
he expected there would be denials all
around but that he affirmed the truth
of his letter and called attention to
the fact that Breckenridge had made
no denial of the most important fea-
ture of the letter which said that Pres
ident Wilson, without the knowledge
of any member of his cabinet except
Secretary Bryan, had added post
