MEXICAN TROUBLE
IS BEING CAUSED BY
GERMAN MONEY
Hundreds Of TeutOn Agents
Have Swarnled to Neutral
Nation for That Purpose
By Carl D. Groat

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Nov. 22.-German money
and intrigue are stirring trouble anew
in Mexico. it was authoritatively stat
ed today. Hundreds of Teuton agents,
availing themselves Of Mexican neutral
ity, are responsible for the recurrence
of fighting and plotting by Villa, zapa-
ia Pelaez and Felix Diaz.
The real seriousness of the problem
for the United States lies in the fact
that the output of the Tampico and
Tuxpam oil fields may be curtailed,
while the difficulties near the border,
might ultimately divert some of Amer
lea IS war strength from Europe.
Teuton spies are seeking to discredit
Carranza with the United States by
making it appear he cannot cope with
the rebel faction; they are stirring up
anti-Americanism and are trying to
bring an active American intervention,
both as a means of detracting from
the main war task and to diseredit this
government with South American re-
publics.
Evidence gathered by secret agents
shows Felix Diaz has been Offered $780,
900 to lead an insurrecti0n in Sinaloa.
Villistas are again on the rampage and
appear to be well armed and financed
with Teuton moneya-
The Germans are pitting faction
against faction. In the Tampico oil
fields and parts Of Tamaulipas, Palaez
shielded American interests long time
Now, the Carranzista general, Dieguez,
is warning against Pelaez with the lat
ter preparing for stand at Pierre AM
arillo. Meantime, the oil industry is ner-
vous; but if any serious hampering Of
that business occurs, firm measures by
this government may be expected, as
the oil supply is SO vital to the Am
erican and British navies.

With the British Armies Beyond
tho Hindenburg Line, Nov. 22.-At
some points on what used to be the
impregnable Hindenburg line. British
troops this afternoon had penetrated
more than eight miles. No late official
announcement has been made of pris-
oners and guns taken.
By personal estimate from numbers
reported by various guard companies
is that more than ten thousand Ger
mans have been captured.
The penetration of eight miles at
some points is from headquarters re-
ports early today. BY this time, the III.
dications are that the Tommies have
swept on even farther than this.
Seven counter attacks have failed
to stop their progress.
The Germans efforts were weak
ones. All failed miserably in the vic
tory inspired onslaught of Byng's men.
The German casualties were heavy
Great numbers of German guns have
been taken. No effort has been made
as yet because Of the very enormity of
the task, to make a detailed count OF

With the British Armies Behind the
Hindenburg Line, Nov. Victorious
Britain "carried on" today with her
Triumphant smashing of the Hindenburg
lines.
Tanks, cavalry, infantry-all were
closing steadily around Cambrai-the
great war machines rumbling over the
enemy just as the tanks first crushed
the way through the German lines.
The Tommies now are almost within
grasp of the German depot of Cambria
as this dispatch is written.
Every hour makes the British victory
more gigantic in its scope, more as
founding in its conception and execu-
tion.
The Hindenburg line has been smash
ed to flinders.
In some sections of the battle front,
the fighting is practically in the open.
British cavalry has been in action The
vast and intricate trench defenses of the
Hindenburg line and its subsidiary lines
have in many places been stormed and
the enemy forced into defense from the
open.
Erencn C1tlzenS Released.
Literally delirious with joy 500 eiti-
zens repatriated to France by the Brit.
ish stroke, came back from the front
today. They had been hurriedly remov-
ed from Masnieres to Gouzeacourt by
the Germans and then abandoned. At
Gouzeaucourt they welcomed the sweat
ing Tommies as they streamed in the
town.
With their stories and the tales wrung
from the German prisoners still dazed
with the surprise of the British blow
it was possible today to piece together
some idea of the conditions in the lux
urious supposedly = impregnable
German positions of the Hindenburg
line when General Byng loosed his sur
prise party.
Surprise Was Complete.
Not German had any knowledge of
the attack until the tanks loomed over
theif heads. Then they literally "blew
up" in panic. French civilians in towns
just behind the lines described the Off
GERS and men as running around N'like
chickens with their heads cut off. ~
The whole army quivered and shook
with the suddenness of the thing; the
tered through cement and earth and hui
man walls were fearsome giants; the
swearing, yelling fiends who followed
them were gnomes who suddenly sprang
to life out of the ground.
1t must have been hours before this
palsy of surprise, of fear and of what
almost amounted to superstitious panic
that something supernatural had occur
red, passed away among the Germans.
British moppers-up" told of how
men from whose heads the lethargy of
sleep had hardly passed, blinkingiy,
dazedly crowded out of their dugouts;
or how, uneomprehending that it was
reality and not dreams, they duly let
the great tanks crush them flat on fur
iously cleaning British bayonets find
their mark.

FAVORS increase IN
pensions Of WIDOWS
LANGLEY WOULD ALSO EXTEND
SCOPE TO THOSE WHO HAVE.
REMARKED.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Representa-
tive John ". Langley introduced in
the House today a bill TO amend the
Ashbrook widows pension act, which,
in addition TO increasing the pensions
of widows of soldiers and sailors OF
the War Between the States who al
ready had a pensionable status, from
$12 to $40 a month, changed from
June 81, 1890. TO June %, 1905, as
the limitation as TO the date OF the
widows marriage 10 the soldier or
sailor in order TO entitle her TO PEN
sion, provides also for the restora-
ton TO the rolls of widows whose
pension had been barred by a subse-
quent marriage and had again become
a widow or had been divorced from
her second husband on her own mo-
ton and without fault on her own
par,
The Kentuckian, who is the rank
ing Republican On the Committee on
Invalid Pensions, contends that it
was the purpose Of the committee,
and Of Congress, 10 confer a pension
able status upon those widows whose
marriage TO the soldier OF sailor &C.
CURED prior 10 June 81, 1905, but
subsequent TO June 27, 1890, and
who had remarked and the second
marriage terminated as stated. The
Commissioner Of Pensions has rul-
ed, however, that the Ashbrook act
does not reach this class of cases, but
is confined 10 the cases Of remarked
widows who married the soldier or
sailor prior TO June 81, 1890, His
bill is designed 10 remedy this de-
feet in the law, II the commissioner s
ruling is correct. He contends that
there IL no reason whatever for ex-
empting them from the benefits OF
the act.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Renewed
pleas to President Wilton TO support

woman suffrage were made at the
White House to-day by a delegation
of 800 mem bers of the Constitutional
Union for Woman Suffrage, who pre-
scented memorials on the recent
death of Mrs. Inez Milholland Boisse-
vain.
President Wilson told the women
he could not understand why more
suffragists did not realize that the
Democratic party was doing more for
them than the Republican party. H.
said he had always done his best for
the movement and would continue to
do his best.
Miss Maude Younger and Mrs. Sara
Bard Field, spokesman for the dele
CATION, urged the President to lend
his support to the pending constitu'
tional amendment for suffrage and
give up his opposition.
The President replied he had not
expected TO listen TO an appeal on
that question. but rather to receive
the memorials on Mrs. Boissevain's
death. He further was not prepared
70 go any further than he had adding
that he was the leader OF party
which had not Endorsed the amend
ment.
