STIR UP REVOLT
Hand of Germany Behind New
Mexican Uprisings.
q. S. viii Take Hand if Oil
Supply Is Menaced.

Washington, Nov. 22.-German
money and intrigue are stirring trou-
BILE anew in Mexico, it was authorita-
lively stated today. Hundreds of Teu-
ton agents, availing themselves of
Mexican neutrality, are responsible for
the recurrence of fighting and plot
ting by Villa, Zapata, Pelaez and Fee
lix Diaz.
The real seriousness of the prob
lem for the United States lies in the
fact that the output of the Tampico
and Tuxpan oil fields may be cur
tailed, while the difficulties near the
border might ultimately divert some
of Americas war strength from Eu-
rope.
The Teuton spies are seeking to dis
credit CarranZa with the United States
by making it appear he cannot cope
with the rebel faction; they are stir
ring up anti-Americanism and are
trying to bring on active American in
tracing from the main war task and
to discredit this government with
South American republics.
Offered Diaz $3OO,0OO
Evidence gathered by secret agents
shows Felix Diaz has been offered
Sinaloa. Villistas are again on the
rampage and appear to be well armed
and financed with Teuton money.
The Germans are pitting faction
against faction. In the Tampico oil
fields and parts of Tamaulipaz, Pelaz
shielded American interests a long
time. Now the Carranzista general
Dieguez, is warning against Peleaz
with the latter preparing for a stand
at Pierre Amarillo. Meantime the oil
industry is nervous; 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 American and British
navy.
Code messages in government pos
session indicate the hand of Germany
is fomenting strikes in the oil district
American and Mexican authorities
here, however, are hopeful the situa-
ton will steady soon

ARMY TRIAL NEAR END
Only More Negro Soldiers Desire to
Testify in Own Behalf.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 22.-The
courtmartial of sixty-three negro SOL
diers charged with murder and mu-
tiny growing out of the Houston riot
of August %. today was nearing its
end.
There were only four more of the
defendants who have expressed a
willingness to testify in their own be-
half to take the stand. Sixstestified
yesterday. Before the trial is over
seventeen will have taken the stand,
some in an attempt to establish an
alibi, the others to throw the blame of
the riot upon Sergt. Vida Henry, who
was either killed or committed suicide
during the riot.
The defense is understood to have
four other witnesses either civilians
or soldiers not implicated in the riot,
who have been subpoenaed to appear
before the courtmartial. The intima-
ton has been made that the prosecu-
ton will have several witnesses to tes-
tify in rebuttal altho failure of the
defendants witnesses to remember
any one they saw the night of the riot
limits them in that respect.
That the trial will end early next
week-or possibly this week-was
freely predicted.

to the line during the night. We stood
that memorable morning just before
dawn, in the midst of great droves of
tanks-au camoUflaged and bedeni-
zened-a veritable multitude of the
things.
They were a great herd of gentle
looking, stolid creatures, that seemed
to browse on the grass-covered battle
field. sheltered somewhat by trees
whose branches showed no nipping by
Shells. The scene was like some aban-
doned farm in the Kentucky blue

tanks either as bovine herds or as

farm machinery scattered about.
1t was still. Only a few desultory
shells exploded in the distance-the
regular, monotonous, every morning
interchange. We could not see the in
finite preparations on all the gigantic
front. Column after column, mass
after mass of men and machines and
horses and paraphernalia had slid
thru the oily night shadows and were
lined up at.that moment for the great

A LITTLE while-and hell broke loose.
1t seems almost preposterous that

on their lines did not awaken with
the first snorting of the tanks as they
crunched great swaths thru the boche
wires. But there were countless in

disregarding staccato machine gun
fire, that the more wide-awake and
courageous of the enemy poured in
their ranks. There were several spots
where the IIindenburg line was cap

Cavalry Eager for Fray.
Here and there behind the tanks
forward-sometimes later in the
fighting, actually disregarding the
slow moving tanks and dashing on to
ing their sabres and overwhelm the
enemy. They had waited long years,
these cavalrymen, for a chance at the
holiday Opportunity. British infan-
trymen who arrogantly turned up
their noses in other days at the cav
i.lrymen, holding that 1t was the
trench boys who were the real SOL
diers, had to revise their opinion to-
action before. Nobody else habitat

lenses.
The cavalry carved itself a niche in
the wars history by the two days
work just passed. Today they were
still carving.
Their speed gives them the edge.
In several towns captured yesterday,
the mounted troopers swarmed in
while the boches were Iunching.
Revelation to BOches.
The Germans were beginning to re-
cover from their daze today and
headquarters reported frenzied oppo-
sition at half dozen points around
Cambria. But the suddenness of the
blow and two days of tremendous
sweeping gains over the Hindenburg
line has immeasurably lowered the
German soldiers morale. He had
been told the Hindenburg line couldn't

haps he is beginning to think there
may be other untruths in what his
commanders tell him.

thrill in the proceedings late Yester-
day. They were the objects OF as
sidious attention from German snip
ers at Ribecourt.
