UNREST III MEXICO SITUATION WORSE THAN IT HAS BEEN IN MONTHS. VILLA ON WAY TO CAPITAL v _ General Obregon Loyal to Carranza, Has Formally Declared War On Villa. Washington.—D. C.—Official ad vices to the United States govern ment from its agents throughout Mexico, revealed the situation as more confused than it has been in many months. The official telegrams summarized events as follows: General Guterrez, selected provi sional president by the convention at Aguas Calientes, has decided to con tinue General Francisco Villa in com mand of all the troops controlled by the convention. Villa has advanced to Irapuato without resistance, and American consular agents say he will continue to Juaretaro and the vicinity of Mexico City without difficulty. General Obregon in the Mexican capital, and loyal to Carranza, has formally declared war on General Villa. Unrest and apprehension pre vails in Mexico City. All the public offices have been va cated and the American agents do not know whether it is the purpose of the Carranza-Obregon faction to leave the place undefended, or wheth er a small garrison will be kept there while General Pablo Gonzalez and other Carranza forces move north to meet the advance of the Villa col umns. Railroad communicatirm north of Mexico City is interrupted and a band of men, either Zapatistas or ex federals. have cut the line from Mex ico City to Vera Cruz at San Mar cos. Refuses to Modify Embargo. Washington. D. C.—Great Britain has declined to modify, in favor of American manufacturers, the embar go on exportation of wool from Aus tralia and other British dominions. It had been hoped that after the needs of the British army had been satisfied Americans might be permit ted to buy the Australian surplus, giving guarantees that neither the wool nor goods made from it would reach Austria or Germany, but the state departmnt has been informed that for the present at least no ex ceptions would be made. In spite of the lack of advance as surance, however, officials here and Interested manufacturers still are confident that there will be a modifi cation later. They think time will demonstrate that the entire output of raw wool from the colonies is not needed by Great Britain. Canal Zone Strictly Neutral. Panama.—Strict orders have been issued to preserve neutrality through out the Panama canal zone. Hereafter no information will be given to any one relative to the cargoes carried by the ships using the waterway and en tering the terminal ports. These orders have resulted partly from President Wilson’s recent neu trality proclamation and partly from the efforts of local British diplomatic and consular agents to learn what ships carried coal and other probable contraband through the canal for pos sible transfer at sea to German war ships. Quarantine Against Canada Lifted. Washington, D. C—The quarantine against cattle shipments from Cana da to the United States, Imposed be cause of the foot and mouth disease, has been lifted by the deportment of agriculture. The quarantine against Canadian cattle was not placed because of in fection in the Dominion, but to pre vent the return of infected cattle cars to the United States. The raising of the Canadian quarantine was said by officials to be an added evidence that the epidemic is being brought under control. f Free Transportation. New York.—To facilitate the trans portation of food and clothing for Belgian relief all railroads of the Trunk Lines association, covering ter ritory' east of the Mississippi and north of Norfolk, Va., will transmit such supplies without charge, it has been announced. Goeben Disabled. London.—The German cruiser Goe ben, terror of the Black sea, is believ to be temporarily out of commission the result of a naval engagement be* tween Russian and Turkish ships. One Solitary Republican. Phoenix, Ariz—Fifty-three demo crats and one republican will compose the second Arizona state legislature. The only republican elected was Sen ator Crabb of Navajo county. The last legislature had forty-five demo crats and eight republicans. Storm Lifts Blockade.

Petrograd. Nov. 20.—The following official statement was given out today by the Russian ministry of marine, re garding the naval battle In the Black sea between the Russian and Turkish fleets: Russ Claim Goeben Is Afire. The following official statement was given out at Petrograd by the Russian ministry of marine, regarding the naval battle in the Black 6ea be tween the Russian and Turkish fleets: "On November 18, a division of the Black sea fleet, returning to Sebasto pol from its cruise near the coast of Anatolia, sighted, 25 miles from the Chersonese light, a Turkish detach ment. consisting of the Goeben and the Breslau. The Russian fleet im mediately drew up in battle order, bringing the enemy to starboard and opened fire at a distance of 40 cable lengths. The first salvo of 12-inch guns from the flagship Admiral Evs tafry struck the Goeben and caused an explosion amidship, setting the ship on fire. rouowing me t-vstarry, me omer Russian ships opened Are, the Rus sian guns giving an excellent account of themselves. Series of Explosions Seen. A series of explosions were seen in 1 the hull of the Goeben, which opened fire slowly. The enemy seemed not to have expected to meet us. The Germans fired salvos of their heavy guns, directing them exclusively at the flagship. The encounter continued for 14 minutes, after which the Goeben withdrew and disappeared in the fog, taking advantage of her speed. “The Breslau took no part in the fight, holding herself on the horizon. The Evstafry suffered only insignifi cant damage. The Russian losses were a lieutenant and 19 sailors killed and five sailors slightly wounded." Germans Shell Libau. London, Nov. 20.—A correspond ent at Copenhagen reports that heavy gun firing was heard from Gottland island, in the Baltic sea, off the Swedish coast, and is supposed to have been from a naval battle be lt ^veeq,German and Russian fleets. “German cruisers and torpedo-boat destroyers bombarded the naval har bor here Tuesday for over four hours," says a Libau, Russia, corre spondent. “Several factories were damaged and a petroleum reservoir was shelled and destroyed by fire. The railway station and some houses in the poorer parts of the town also suf fered. “The Germans sank several small cargo steamers at the entrance to the harbor. “Five persons were killed by shells, including a woman, and more than thirty persons were wounded." Berlin Report on Fight. Berlin. Nov. 20.—A Turkish fleet has engaged a Russian squadron com posed of two battleships and five cruis ers off Sebastopol, according to an of ficial report reaching Berlin from Con stantinople today. One of the Russian battleships was severely damaged, and the other ves sels, with the Turkish ships in pursuit, fled to Sebastopol. A war bulletin issued today says: “The German fleet has succeeded in oartially closing the harbor of Libau, Russia, through the sinking of ships, and also has bombarded important military positions. There is no other news of importance." French Sink Foes' Submarine. Paris, Nov. 20.—News from the Adriatic says that the French cruiser VVaideck-Rousseau has sunk another Austrian submarine. The enemy seems to have made a special effort to attack this warship. During a recent cruise of only four days the cruiser had to run quite a gauntlet of aero plane, submarine and torpedo-boat at tacks. It not only came through them unscathed, but with the honors on its side, for besides sinking the subma- ; rine it chased and badly battered a j flotilla of 17 hostile destroyers. Liner Ekbatana Sunk. London, Nov. 20.—News has been received here that tb~ Hamburg-Amer ican liner Ekbatana has been sunk in the Persian gulf. FIRE ON AMERICAN LAUNCH i Boat From Cruiser Tennessee Said to Have Been Shot Over by the Turks. London, Nov. 11.—A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph from Athens says: “A launch from the United States cruiser Tennessee, which was enter ing the Gulf of Smyrna to arrange for the cruiser to come into the harbor was fired upon by the forts and com pelled to return to the Tennessee. "The commander of the Tennessee, Benton C. Decker, informed the vail that he had orders from his govern ment to enter the harbor of Smyrna, and had decided to do so.” An earlier dispatch from Athens said: "The Tennessee has arrived at Vur la to put a stop to the ill treatment of the British, French and Russian resi dents. The authorities of Smyrna, fearing a bombardment, have left for the interior. The garrison at Smyrna at present consists of 35,000 soldiers.” (Vurla is one of the forts guarding the entrance of the Bay of Smyrna. It is about twenty-five miles from the town of Smyrna and commands the narrow entry from the gulf.) _ / Deny Threats Were Made. Athens, Nov. 20.—Reports that the United States armored cruiser Ten nessee threatened to enter Smyrna harbor by force if the Turks refused permission are utterly unfounded. The American consuls at Syria have been ordered to undertake the pro tection of Greek subjects there, hith erto protected by French and British consuls. Smyrna Quiz Blocked. Washington, Nov. 20.—The state of communications between points found the administration today unable to report any progress in its efforts to ascertain exactly what occurred and the causes therefore in connection with the firing on the launch of the cruiser Tennessee by a Turkish fort at Smyrna. Officials today took plans to correct the erroneous impression existing in many quarters that the United States had called upon Turkey for an explan ation of the incident. Ambassador Morgenthau has been instructed mere ly to report the facts in the incident. Gets Facts, Then Explanation. When all the facts are in the pos session of the United States the ques tion of calling upon Turkey for an explanation of them will be taken up, if Turkey has not by that time vol unteered some statement in the mat ter. Britain Provides for War. London, Nov. 18.—David Lloyd George. chancellor of the exchequer, in the house of commons today esti mated that the cost of one year of the war for this country would be $2,250, 000,000, a larger amount than Great Britain has ever spent on a war and more than twice what was spent in the four years' conflict in South Af rica. To pay this enormous bill, the gov ernment had decided, he said, to raise a loan of $1,750,000,000, which would 1 be issued at 95, bear interest at the rate of 3% per cent, and be redeem able at par March 1, 1928. The chancellor proposed, and the house unanimously supported him. that the income tax should be doubled, but only collected on one-third of the income this year; that an extra cent a half pint should be levied on beer, and an extra 6 cents a pound on tea German Point of View. Berlin, Nov. 20.—A German official communication given out in Berlin says: “The situation in West Flanders and the north of France is un changed. “A German aviation squadron en countered some of the enemy's avia tors while making a reconnoitering flight and caused them to descend, one of them falling. One of our flying machines is missing. “A fierce French attack in the re gion of Sarvon, on the western slopes of the Argonne forest, was repulsed with heavy loss to the enemy. Our losses were small." Winter Supplies for Army. Paris. Nov. 20.—Since the first cold days the ministry of war has sent to the front everything the soldiers need for the winter.

Germans Halted by Flood. Berlin, via Amsterdam, Nov. 21.— Though temporarily Lrlted in their campaign to gain the French coast by the floods caused by the cutting of dykes in the Yser valley, the Germans are meeting this emergency. Bodies of engineers numbering seven thousand men have been taken to the Dixmude front during the last week and are en gaged in closing the gaps in the dykfes and constructing pontoon bridges or which the infantry can cross the inun dated country and resume the offen sive against the enemy. < British Beat Islamites. London, Nov. 21.—That British troops have fought a severe engage m 5nt in Arab i near the Persian fron tier was made known by the following anncuncemer-t: “During an advance on Shat-el-Arab the enemy, with a force numbering 4,500, were encoun tered in a strong intrenched position with 12 gun§. The enemy retired after heavy fighting, losing two guns and man;- prisoners. The British casual ties were three officers and 33 men killed and 5 officers and 300 men wounded.” Russ Admit Retreat. London, Nov. 21.—Operations in the eastern theater of war continue to progress favorably for the Germans, it is officially announced by the war office in Berlin. The statement adds that strategical reasons prevent the disclosure of movements against the Russians, but that the victory at Wloclawec is being followed up. Pe trograd admitted that the German forces along the front from the Vis tula to the Warthe had made some marked advances. General von Hin denburg is the hero of the hour in Berlin, says a dispatch from Copen hagen, which adds that the Russian losses are estimated at 50,000 men. French Arrest German Spies. Paris, Nov. 21.—Half a dozen Ger man spies who hid in a madhouse in Lorraine have just been arrested. They galnod admittance to the asylum while the mobilired medical staff were transferring authority to th3 civil ad ministrators, ..nd pretending to be lun atics, they obtained information. Austrian Steamer Sunk by Mine. Venice, i av. 21.—The Austrian steamer Joseihine has been blown up by a mine. Six of the crew were saved. Many Wounded Germans Recover. Rotterdam, Nov. 20.—A message from Berlin states that of the 6,600 wounded men discharged from the city’s hospitals since the middle of September, eight per cent are of no further use for field service. Thirty six per cent are fit to return to the front and 56 per cent are to form the nucleus for reserve battalions. re-enforce the small male staff which suffices in time of peace. Besides the rush of work, there are special duties to be performed. For instance, the phones of German and Austrian subjects have to be tapped and cut off if necessary and alj sus pects similarly treated. In the private exchanges of the admiralty, war office and the treas ury, the staff which normally leaves at 5 p. m. has to remain on duty in shifts for the whole 24 hours. In the war and admiralty departments secret switchboards are installed; that is, any one calling up an official in those offices is plugged through and the op erator cannot tap the conversation. Lord Kitchener from his chair in the war office or from his bedside speaks directly to Sir John French at the front by a private wire which only takes a minute to secure atten tion at both ends. Thus Kitchener is as much on the s£ot as if he were at the British headquarters in France. t _ There are 12,272 donkeys in Spain. ASKS STATE TO HELP GOVERNOR APPEALS TO CITI ZENS TO AID BELGIANS.
