This weakening morale Is in

growing number OF deserters who

That Germany fears western

fact that she is now seeking some

FAMOUS CHURCH . IN NOR WALK IS
 GUTTED BY FIRE

Norwalk, Nov. 21-The famous old Norwalk First Congregational church, built in 1852. and believed to be the fifth oldest church in the country, was burned this noon. causing a loss of between $70,000 and STE, ,O00. Two men were injured. Anza Waters of Rowayton jumped from a staging to the ground and Oscar Waller, who was near the base of the spire when the bell crashed through to the ground, was struck by beams thrown into the air when the bell landed on the floor of the gallery. The chapel was burned out and two houses be- tween the church and the St. Pau1's church were barely saved. St. Paul s church was slightly burned.
 The water service wsm so bad that the f1remen had a hard tussle saving the nearby structures. The fire. start ed in the belfry when a charcoal fire carried by some plumbers who were repairing damage done by lightning last summer, started the woodwork of the belfry and spead rapidly be- fore water could be brought to the place in pails.

AMERICA DENIES TAKING MExICANS IN ARMY DRAFT
Assertions Made By Publi. cation Believed Inspired
 By Germans

Mexico City, Nov. 20.-Despite Pres 1dent Carranza's declaration to con- m1ttee from the chamber of deputies that Mexican citizens are not in the American armies, Ell Democrata as- serts that Mexicans have been draft ed in New Mexico and California and they are now in France against their will. Ell Universal. answering the charge, says that the director of El Democrata is a congressman and asks why he did not have the cour- age to make this statement before the Mexican chamber. It intimates that German propaganlda4 is behind the statement printed by E1 Demo- crata.
 American Ambassador Fletcher has issued statement tending to correct galse impressions made public by cer- tain newspapers in Mexico. He cites the American draft law to show that aliens are allowed ample opportunity to establish their right to exemption from military service. The ambassa- dor admits that 1t is possible during the process of deciding claims for ex- emption that some errors have oc- cured, subjecting to military service some aliens in the United States, pos sibly including a few Mex1cans. He adds that 1t appears that many aliens, including Mexicans, did not claim ex- emption and accepted service in the American army as volunteers.
 Ambassador Fletcher says that re- gently the Mexican government called the attention of the American state department to this matter, and a note
 dated Nov advised that the presi-
 dent, as commander in chief, was ready to consider the discharge of
 any Mexican citizen who had been drafted even though he had declared his intention to become an Ameri- can citizen, should the Mxican gov
 ernment request such action on their behalf and provided that evidence of Mexican nationality were furnished. Such action was taken by President Wilson, the statement says, not be- cause he doubted the right of the
 United States to claim for service per sons within it's Jurisdiction who en- deavored to absolve allegiance to their
 country by indicating their intention
 to assume allegiance to the United States, but because of g. desire to
 show a friendly regard for the view
 of neutral countries in respect to the military service of their nationals.
 The statement concludes:
 "It is therefore, clear that if any Mexican citizen has been conscript- ed his conscription was due to his tn- ability or failure to establish MeX- can nationality and not to a desire on the part of the government of the United States to force him into it's military service"
