I
OPINION IN WASHINGTON TROOPS
WILL REMAIN AT PORT.
FIRST BATTLE IN NEW REVOLT
Carranza Forces Under General Hill
Routed by Villa Sympathizers
in Sonora.
Washington.—American forces will
remain in Vera Cruz until the
question of authority as between
General Carranza and General Villa
is settled. This was the consensus of
opinion of administration officials al
though no definite announcement of
the intentions of the Washington gov
ernment was made.
Secretary Garrison telegraphed
General Funston at Vera Cruz not to
load any necessary baggage or sup
plies aboard the transports, inform
ing him at the same time that the
Americans would not be withdrawn
^ “for at least ten days" until certain
administrative questions concerning
the transfer of funds at the customs
house could be adjusted through dip
lomatic channels.
Numerous inquiries were made
here and of General Funston with re
spect to the date of the departure of
the American troops from Vera Cruz.
In view of the matters which must
be first settled, no date can at pres
ent be fixed, but in no event can the
departure take place within the next
ten days and General Funston was so
tdvised.
Must Break Kaiser.
London.—While speaking at a meet
ing of his neighbors held at Oricctetli,
Wales, chancellor of the exchequer
Lloyd George, declared that the war
was quite unexpected.
He never dreamed it would occur,
he said, until a few days before
hostilities began. He never thought
any country could be so devilish as to
pretend great friendship and at the
same time make elaborate arrange
ments to attack. Indeed, he thought
war was so far away that he had
made arrangements to spend August
and September at Criccieth.
It took fifteen years to break Napo
leon, the chancellor continued. He
said he did not think it would take
anything like as long to vanquish Em
peror William, but long or short,
England was going to see it through.
Mexicans Stone Consul’s Residence.
EH Paso, Tex.—Stones were thrown
through the windows of the residence
of the American vice consul at Parral

Mexico, in which orators at the town

Cruz. Later the mob, arrivals here
said, marched past the residence of
the American vice consul and threw
stones through the windows of the
building.
Carranza Forces Routed.

tity of ammunition and supplies.
Admiral Winslow Dead.

bert Winslow, United States navy, re

COMBATANTS WIN
AND LOSE ALONG
THE RIVER AISNE
Hundreds Die in Charges Which
Really Gain Little for Either
Combatant.
PARIS CLAIMS GAINS ON WEST
German Line Holding Firm, and Even
Making Advances, Declares Berlin
—Series of Battles Seems Likely to
Continue for Some Time—Kaiser’s
Naval Victory in the North Sea
Something of a Shock to Britain.
While the battle of the allies and
the Germans continues along the en
tire front in Prance there has been
relatively no change in the position of
the armies. The hardest fighting ap
parently is proceeding on the eastern
and western ends of the lines, the
allies on the west end endeavoring to
encircle the Germans and on the east
the Germans trying to break through
the allies’ lints in the vicinity of Ver
dun. In the center a lull in the war
fare is reported.
On the Battle Front, Sept. 26.—The
German offensive was extremely vig
orous today at the western end of the
long line stretching along the rivers
Oise, Aiene and Woevre.
The allied troops, whose gaps had
been filled with freshly arrived re
enforcements, not only repeatedly
thrust back the masses of Germans
thrown against them but eventually
carried out a successful counter-attack
which resulted in the gaining of con
siderable ground and the capture of
Peronne, about which town the fierc
est engagement occurred.
Machine Guns Kill Hundreds.
At one place the victims of the
deadly German machine guns were
counted in hundreds, especially where
the advance was across an open wheat
field that recently had been harvested.
Some men of a French regiment
which was making a dash toward the
German position when it was struck
by the sweeping fire were found dead
in the kneeling posture they had tak
en behind sheaves of wheat and from
where they had emptied their maga
zines, intending to start a final rush
and bayonet charge.
After the fight 900 dead were buried
?n a single trench eix feet deep, the
Germans being placed at one end and
the French at the other.
Many Germans Near Reims.
Further toward the east, near Berry
au-Bac on the Aisne north of Reims,
there appears to be concentrated a
large German force which has stolidly
occupied strong intrenchments from
which it is most difficult to dislodge
them. Hereabouts the fighting has
been of a desultory character, with,
however, slight advantage in favor of
the allies.
The men of both armies in this
vicinity seem to be enjoying their rest.
On the eastern wing the Germans
are throwing enormous masses of men
against the French troops protecting
the line of defensive forts above Ver
dun; but up too the present their ef
forts, although costing immense sac
rifices, have been vain and the French
line remains intact.
Allies Claim Big Gains.
London, Sept. 26.—The official an
nouncement regarding the progress of
the battle of the Aisne made public in
Paris tonight said that the flanking
movement of the allies' left wing con
tinues to develop and that the town of
Peronne has been occupied after des
perate fighting with the Germans.
This report tends to confirm the ear
lier unofficial reports that the Germans
had been driven back further on their
right wing than had been previously
reported and that the main stand of
the Germans to the north and west will
be made along the line from Cambrai
to St. Amend.
The official dispatch adds that there
has been a lull in the fighting along
the center of the great line and that
| the German attacks on the right wing
J of the allies have been checked.
Claims Made by Germans.
Ixjudon. Sept. 26.—Messages which
come from German sources carry re
ports which are diametrically the op
posite of the foregoing. These say
jthat the flanking movement of the al
lies on the German right wing have
j failed and that the battle there has
come to a standstill.
These messages say there has been
no fighting on the center, but that the
German left has taken Varennes, at
i tacked the forth to the south of Ver
dun, and repulsed sorties from Verdun
and Toul. The Germans are said to
be bombarding the towns of Troyon
les-Paroches, Camp des Romaine. and
Lionville (Lironville).
It also is claimed that French troops
in French Lorraine and on the border
of Alsace have been repulsed.
Germans Reoccupy French Towns.
Washington. Sept. 25.—That the
Germans have reoccupied three towns
opposite the French right wing in Lor
raine was made clear when the full
text of the official statement from the
\French war office was read at the
French embassy here. The official
statement, as given out in Paris, set
forth that Domevre, south of Bramont,
had been reoccupied by the enemy.
The embassy received a statement,
however, which contains this phrase:
‘‘On our right wing in Lorraine the
enemy have again passed the frontier
with several small columns. He has
reoccupied Domevre, south of Bra
mont, and Nomeny and Dilme, north
of Nancy.
Von Kluck Driven Back.
Paris. Sept. 25.—General von Kluck's
harassed German right wing was
driven back more than ten miles de
spite its effort to hold back the allies
in their encircling maneuver, which is
fast accomplishing General Joffre’s
plan of turning the western end of the
invader’s army back upon the center.
Violent fighting cdntinued all day
i where the rival armies are in contact
north of Noyon, and the enemy is
fighting with undiminished gallantry
against the ever-present danger of be
ing cut off. Also there is the growing
peril of a stroke from the rear, which
unofficial reports declare is being di
rected from Amiens, where the French
are moving southeast toward St. Quen
tin to cut the railroad line of supply
of the Germans through Belgium.
The allies have gained all along the
line, but at terrible cost.
i
Ninety-Mile Battle Front.
At the Battle Front, via Paris, Sept.
24.—Not a moment's respite was given
to the German forces entrenched
along the ninety-mile front running
along the rivers Aisne and Oise and
extending into the Woevre district.
The batteries of the allied forces
never ceased tiring, although their ac
tivity diminished after sundown.
The Germans occupying the
trenches kept constantly on the alert
but' until two o'clock in the moraine
no aggressive move was started from
he allies' lines facing tiiem.
to open fire together and every point
Then all the allied batteries seemed
along the front became active.
At the western end of the line the
allied infantry gathered iu the
trenches and simultaneously at va
roius points crept out and advanced
cautiously in wide open lines towards
the German positions.
The French and British on several
occasions succeeded in surprising and
driving back the occupants of theGer
man trenches, but only after the most
stubborn fighting and after heavy
losses both to the attacking and to
the defending forces. In every in
stance the allied troops retained the
ground captured and immediately dug
themselves in.
Further east the Germans them
selves developed a strong attack, but
were beaten back with the bayonet,
only to return again and again, to be
finally driven off to their original po
sitions.
GENERAL NEWS OF THE WAR
Germany Wins Naval Victory.
Three cruisers of Great Britain, car
rying a complement of more than two
thousand one hundred men, were tor
pedoed and sunk in the North sea, off
the German coast, by German subma
rines.
These cruisers, the Aboukir, Hogue
and Cressy, have been reported as
very active in scouting close to the
Helgoland coast in an effort to locate
the main German war fleet.
The magnitudeof the disaster
struck home to England when it was
learned that only 1,067 survivors, offi
cers and sailors, had been accounted
for. The missing number 1,133, the
three ships having carried 2,200 sail
ors and officers.
A Berlin official dispatch received
at London by Marconi wireless says:
"Not a single shot was fire- by any
of the three British cruisers sunk by
the German submarine U-9. The ma
jority of the British sailors were in
their bunks when the attack was
made. In recognition of their services
the Iron Cross has been bestowed on
each member of the crew of the sub
marine.
“The U-9, in charge of Lieutenant
Commander Weddigen, escaped un
hurt after the sinking of the Aboukir,
Cressy and Hogue.
“An official statement says that the
British cruiser Pathfinder was sunk,
not by a mine, but by the German
submarine U-21. This submarine also
escaped unhurt.”
Notwithstanding that the British
and German naval authorities an
nounced that one submarine was re
sponsible for the destruction of three
British cruisers, Albert Dougherty,
chief gunner of the Cressy, as quoted
by the Chronicle’s Chatham corre
spondent, insists that he saw five sub
marines, one of which was sunk.
Galicia Occupied by Rust.
A Central News dispatch from Pet
rograd to London says:
“The Russian advance guards al
ready are before the Austrian fortress
of Cracow.
"All of Galicia, except Przemysl
and Cracowi has been cleared of Aus
trian troops, and the Russians are
massed far west of Tarnow. Russian
cavalry has penetrated to every part
of Galicia, meeting practically no re
sistance.
“The Germans are rapidly retreat
ing from East Prussia, and the Rus
sians, pursuing, have recaptured the
town of Soldau, and have established
a firm line from Warsaw north to the
Baltic.
“In Galicia the Russian advance
forces have already reached Cracow,
Przemysl is invested and is being
bombarded, and Cracow at the worst
cannot do more than engage a por
lion of the Russian forces.”
Canadian Troops on the Way.
The major part of Canada's latest
contingent of 32,000 men for service
fn Europe is already on its way to the
front in 20 transports heavily armed
and guarded by British men of war in
sufficient force to prevent any attack
i by German cruisers.
NORTH SEA WELL GUARDED
British Precautions Declared Absolute,
Though German Submarine
Did Break Through.
London.—A “solid wall of warships”
.is thrown across the northern part of
the North sea, according to the cap
tain of a British trawler who has just
arrived from Iceland. The skipper said
it was “absolutely impossible for any
foe to break through undetected,” so
constant and thorough was the patrol
to the north. It was his own experi
ence to be halted and -searched, and
after being released his boat was fol
lowed by two torpedo boats until it
reached its destination.
The thoroughness of the patrol was
further testified to by another North
sea skipper. His trawler was lying
along shore, when shortly after mid
night it suddenly found itself hemmed
in by a huge black object which proved
to be a British cruiser. Its officers
seemed to have had cat’s eyes. From
the dark a voice demanded to know
the identity of the trawler. It was
promptly shouted back.
“ ‘The name is quite correct, sir’—
came another mysterious voice astern
of us,” said the skipper. “A sub
marine had crept up behind us and
read our name. Although ell of our
crew had come on deck to see what
was happening, not one of them had
seen the submarine appear.
Instead of trying to get even with
your enemy, get ahead of him by mind
ing your own business.
