PLANNING NEW
MEXICAN RULE
Conflicting Reports Leave
Fate of Carranza In
Doubt
4CARRANZA'S FLIGHT
Rebels Claim Capture Of Matamoeas
Anticipate Counter Revolution Of Elk
Presidents Followers

Reports of progress in the political
organization Of the new Mexican rev.
oiution were received in Washington
yesterday but the situation of the de-
posed President, Carranza, remained
underlined.
Dispatches from Vera Cruz said ne
was fighting off the revolutionists at
point near San Marcos, about half
way between the capital and Vera
Cruz, but no report, official or other
wise, came from Mexico CITY to con-
trad:ct claims of revolutionary agents
in the United States that he had been
captured.
The last reports received by the
State Department from the Embassy
at Mexico City was report dated
May 8, but communication by wire
less has been established and instruc-
TORS sent to the Charge dAffaires
to communicate fully. The dispatches
received related to the flight of Car
rama. who was reported to have taken
with him 27,000,0O0 pesos in Govern
ment funds.
Iuis Cabrera, chief of Carranza $
Cabinet,>is one member of the official
family who appears to have escaped
by independent route. According to the
revclutionists, Cabrera covered his de-
part,ire from the capital for three days
by leaving written statement for
newspaper mon who were in the habit
Of seeing him every day. He was stop
FED by the revolutionists at Chihua-
hna. they said, but permitted to con-
tinue to the American frontier, and
upon the instructions of General o.
,e@on Offered money for his expenses
The addition of Matamoros, opposite
Brownsville, Texas, to the list Of rebe!
control in the towns was reported to
the revolutionary agents here. Their
cport sa.u also that Antonio V:'area'
la:: political exile. was on his Way
to Monterey to assume charge.
The revolutionary agents hers ad,
nit.ed that until Carranza and his fol
lowers were accounted for AMI Icn'
e.al Manuel Dieguez and his small
command west Of Irputo disposed of
there would remain the neuclei of )
counter revolution.

JEWISH COMMUNITY ADOPTS
REFORMS IN VOTING SYSTEM.

Posen, Poland (By /. J. P. B. THE
local Jewish Community has adopted
a new procedure in its elections, which
assures every Jew active as well rs
passive, and also indirect voting
rights. Women are to have these
rights equally with the men. At the
same time, other general reforms were
inaugurated to insure the carrying out
Of all processes in connection with
elections on a thoroughly democratic
basis.
1t was announced at the same ses-
sion that DR.. Kaempfer, the former
president Of the Community. expects
to leave the city and settle in Berlin.
Dr. Kaempfer was accorded the thanks
Of the Community for the good work
he has done for the Jews Of Posen.

RUMOR JEWISH PRISONERS OF
WAR TO BE SENT TO PAL
ESTINE.

Jewish Russian prisoners Of war,
held in German concentration camps,
are to be sent to Palestine as soon as
possible, according to cable advices
from Copenhagen.
The cable states that the German
war department has ordered regis
tration of all Jewish Russian prison.
ers, who have repeatedly expressed the
desire to live in Palestine, in order
that plans may be put in motion for
transporting them to the Holy Land.
1t is estimated that between 10000
and 10000 Jewish Russian prisoners
Of war are still held in Germany. They
have been existing under the most
miserable conditions and many Of
them have died, according TO reports
coming from Germany.
The action Of the German govern
ment comes as relief of repeated de-
mands from the German Zionist or
ganization, which has been insisting
that the plight of Jewish prisoners Of
war be relieved by transporting them
to Palestine, it was pointed out by
Zionist officials. The German Zionist
organization is conducting agricultural
schools in the camps, to acquaint the
prisoners with conditions in Palestine.
Jewish prisoners in Siberian con-
centration camps are also organizing
to emigrate to Palestine, as soon as
the country opens up, according to re-
ports received by the Zionist Organi
cation Of America. These prisoners
are mostly professional men, num-
bered among the best families in
Germany and Austria, and their pres
ence in Palestine will be Of vast econ
omic and social Importance to the
country, Samuel Mason, Jewish relief
worker in Siberia, emphasized in his
recent report to the Zionist organi-
cation.
The official action Of the German
government in planning to transport
its prisoners Of war TO Palestine, in
stead of sending them back to Rus
STA, is considered as Of the highest
Importance in the worldwide move
ment Of Jewish mass-migration to the
Holy Land.
Rehabilitation in Palestine will be-
Gin on large scale to prepare for this
mass-migration through the $4,000
600 being raised throughout the Unit
ed States this year for the Palestine
Restoration Fund. Reconstruction
work planned, II was pointed out, will
make 1t comparatively easy for Pal
estine to absorb such large units Of
emigrants as the prisoners Of war in
Germany and Siberia.
