ARMIES NEAR THE BORDER GENERAL BLISS REPORTS THE , RESULT OF HIS DIPLOMATIC J RELATIONS. ~r? ; < Denies to Secretary Garrison That He < Has Made Definite, Final Demands on General Maytorena. 'I Washington. ? Secietarv Garrison 1 gave President Wilson the latest re- 3 ports from Brig. Gen. Bliss on the sit- 1 uation at Naco, where the Mexican 1 generals have not yet moved their forces to avoid firing into American 1 territory. ' 1 The reports showed that the sltua tion had undergone no apparent 1 change, although little firing was in 1 evidence. While the United States is ( determined, if necessary, to open fire 1 on the two Mexican forces to com pel them to stop shooting into the ' State of Arizona, it was feared7 that ' no decisive action was planned, pend ing efforts to Naco to influence the 1 two factions to adjust the situation. 1 The general belief in official quaT- 1 ters was that some satisfactory un- ' derstanding would be reached. ] Agents here of the Gutierrez Gov- J ernment to which General Maytorena 1 is loyal, claims that he is preparing 1 to move his; force down the railroad ' south of Naco, so that he can con- i tinue to besiege the Carranza force under General Hill with the Ameri- ' can border out of the range of Are. 1 While reports from General Bliss J to the War Daprtpment were not < made public it is believed (they indi- J cated that he thought he had persuad ed General Maytorena to stop firing i across the line. Until there is a defl- I nite understanding on the whqle situ ation, it is thought General Bliss has < warned General Hill not to take the 1 offensive, which would draw the fire ' of the Maytorena troops. ' '< RUSSIAN ARMY RETREATING. j Falling Back From Poland to Get J Better Base or operations. .London.?"The Russians are retir ing along the entire front in Gallcia and Poland." This statement officially issued at , Vienna is the outstanding feature of news from the battle fronts. While there is no confirmation from other sources, such a move on the part of the Russians would be in line with the announcements in Petrrograd dis patches that the Russians threatened on both flanks had decided to take up ; new positions where they could better i meet the Austro-German , onslaughts \ from the Carpathians to the East i Prussian frontier. \ The Russian delay in fulfilling ex- i pect&tions that they would prove a 1 serious menace to German territory ] is diappointing the peoples of the Al- 1 lied countries, but military men ex- i press the view that it is better for < Russia to fight in her own territory, i where means of communcation would ] be more on an equality. Admiral Fisher Talks of Efficiency. Washington.?Five years would be j required to put the United States ] Navy in the highest state of effi- ( ciency to meet a hostile fleet, accord- ; ing to a statement by Rear Admiral ] Fiske before the Houpe Naval Com- j mittee. The Admiral, who is chief < of the Bureau of Operations, member ; of the general board and a former president of the Naval Institute, said j the Navy was deficient in air craft, < mines, scout cruisers, torpedo-boat de- j stroyers, submarines and in number of trained officers and men and had no | mine sweepers. Lions Escape in New York. ' New York^?Six trained lions escap- j ed from their cage on the stage of an j East Eighty-sith street theater and j; bounding into the audience, consist- 11 ing principally of women and child- i ren, created a panic. One lioness, i Alice, largest of the pack, escaped !) infn * f-pnwfifwi ctrpftf Policemen 11 pursued her into the hallway of an apartment and shooting at her, prob ably fatally wounded Sergeant Daniel Glenn. Two other officers were slight ly wounded by the claws of the beasts in a battle at close range. WITH NAPOLEON AT THE END Belgian Peasant Was Emperor's Guide on That Memorable June Day at Waterloo. Certainly a place in history is as sured to Jean Baptiste Coster, who was Napoleon's guide on the day of Waterloo. He was born at Louvaln, und was fifty-three when he did that great day's work. The post did not come to him w^ll^^ly. He was cap tured by the ALMOST A SCRAP IN LOWER HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES HEFLIN AND MOON COME CLOSE TO ACTU AL BLOWS. DISCUSSION OF POSTAL BILL Rule for Amendments Made Subject of Bitter Passages, Involving Several Members. Washington,?After two days of hot iv-ords which culminated in exchange )f invitations to personal combat *be :ween Representatives Heflin of Ala bama and Moon of Tennessee, the louse adopted a special rule to con sider legislation for reforms demanded jy the postoffice in connection with the annual appropriation bill. A de flection of democrates defeated a sim ilar rule, which provided fqr a con sideration of an amendment decreas ing postmasters' salaries, elimination )f assistant postmasters, experiment il substitution of contract service for the mral delivery service, increase of *?* ? ? ?? l nlioncroa I salaries ior rural uamoio, ? the compensation paid railroads for carrying the mails and other reorgan zation plans of the department. The rule was passed late with pro visions for cutting postmasters' sal aries, abolishing assistant postmasters md the rural service .substitution scheme eliminated. A speech by Representative Moon ifter defeat of the original rule, in tvhich he intimated that, "some rail road influence" had operative to shift Democratic votes caused a bitter de bate here. Representative Heflin de nounced Mr. Moon's statement as 'false and untrue." Mr. Moon chal lenged him 16 make the same state ment off the floor of the house, and Mr. Heflin expressed his willingness to do so. The two representatives were advancing threateningly towards ?ach other when half a dozen mem bers stepped in between them. Republican Leader Mann, who had led the fight against the original rule, later renewed the controversy. "The charge has been made on this Boor," he sa*d, "that the influence of railroad interests has been felt in this bouse. I believe it is the duty of the bouse, if the charge is not true, to re pudiate the charge and condemn the man who made it If it is true, then the bouse owes It to itself to investi gate the charge and punish those men whose votes have been changed by j railroad influence." Representative Ragsdale of South J Carolina said that "when the gentle men charge that there is raMroad in fluence enough on the Democratic side af.the house to defeat this legislation I do not believe it and repudiate It." "Well, {he gentleman has his opin ion." renlied ReDresentative Moon. "If the hit dog yelps, let him yelp." Representative Webb of North Car olina said he "was not influenced by railroads, but by my own colleagues, who I think are high-minded, honest and conscientious men." A little later Representative Moon in a brief speech disclaimed any in tention to "reflect on the honor or in tegrity of any member of the house." He said that his speech was made "in the heat of debate" and "may have been a little too rough." He offered to withdraw any "offensive language" he might have passed. SMALL GAINS AND LOSSES. All Sides are Claiming Some Few Successes. In the offensive operations of the allies in the western war arena, in teresting features are the loss in the neighborhood of Nuve Chapelle of several of the trenches recently cap tured by the British and an advance by the East Indians toward Riche bourg l'Avouve. as reported in the latest French official communication. This statement also indicates that the Germans have not been lacking in the offensive. It recordes, in addition, the mnihilalation of a German column at Lihons. In the east the situation is still In doubt. According to the official state ment from Petrograd, the Germans have been repulsed in an attempt to sross to the right bank of the Vistula river in Poland and fighting in the Bzura river district is developing. Re warding the victory which Germany tvas reported to have won in Poland, Berlin remains silent. Austria claims important successes in the battle of Limanowa in Gallicia. svhere 26,000 Russians are said to have [alien into their hands. A Berlin dispatch says that Em peror William has paid a visit to the wounded soldiers at Totsdam. Army Gets All Asked For. Washington.?The army appropri ition bill, aggregating $101,000,000 igreed upon by the House military committee, carried a special fund of 515.000 for United States military ob servers in Europe. The bill closely follows the War Department's esti- i mate. "We gave them practically ail Lhey asked for," said chairman Hay, referring to appropriations for ammu nition and other materials for defense. Increase of 25 regiments in the regu lar army ,was proposed by a bill in iroduped by Representative Anthony. i>n aunaay morning iu uiu laim ui *v*o son. where Napoleon had spent the night j "You are to be my guide," said Na poleon, and after some conversation it was settled.

GERMANS MAKE BIG RAID < i WHITBY, SCARBOROUGH AND HARTLEPOOL ATTRACTED BY SWIFT CRUISERS. Casualty List Totals 110, Dead 31; Big Property Loss?Unusua! txciiemcni. London.?For thf first time in centuries England- has been struck by a foreign foe. A squadron of swift German cruisers crept through the fog to the eastern coast and turned their guns against the Britons. When day broke they began bom bardment of. three important towns? Hartlepool at the mouth of the Tees, Whitby, noted as a pleasure resort, 15 miles beyond. HartllepooJ suffer ed most. There two battle cruisers were engaged. The British war office fixes the number of dead at Hartle pool as seven soldiers and 22 civilians. At Scrabrough, shelled by a battle cruiser and an armored cruiser, 13 casualties are reported while at Whitby two were killed and two were wounded. Men, women and children of the n^wlllan nArnloftnn Tzrora loft Hpfld fVT* ViTiimu ^U^uiuuuu TT C* v *v?w -WW.? ? - wounded struck without warning while at work. In all the casualty list totals 110, according to the of ficial estimates, of whom 31 are known to be dead. At Hartlepool, churches were dam aged and the gas works and lumber yards were set afire, while the ab bey at Whitby was struck. The Bal moral Hoteh at Scarborough received the full effect of a shell. A number of houses and shops were shattered and partly burned in each of the towns. The hostile squadron escaped in the mist after an encounter with coast guard vessels. CARRAN2A AND VILLA CRASH. Armies in First Big Battle East of Torreon. El Paso.?The first important battle between the Carranza and Villa arm ies is in progress near San Pedro de las Colonies, esst of Torreon. Several columns of Carranza troops from Coa hulla Statet, aggregating about 5,000 ? .? j ? n-i men unajr v^uiuiiei lmuude va&quc^, are engaged by a slightly larger force under General Villa. Both sides have ample artillery and the fighting is described as desperate. The Carranza forces made a threat ening movement to take Torreon and to shut off Villa's communication with the North. Villa garrison in Northern Mexico have been depleted by the movement into Mexico City and troops from the National Capital probably will be sent to the northern theater of war. It appears that Carranza, from Vera Cruz, has ordered a general movement into the North. Four hun dred men from General Hill's forces in the extreme east of Sonora are moving on Juarez, held by a small Villa garrison. Five hundred Car ranza troops from Coahulla recently passed below Sierra Blanca, Texas, on their way toward Juarez. Goethals Again Asks for Fleet. Panama.?Governor Goethals has again cabled to Secretary Garrison setting forth need for destroyers in canal ports to preserve neutrality. Colonel Goethals says he has no means of preventing the use of canal or Panaman ports as a means of communication and that these ports apparently are being used to that end. Colonel Goethals expressed opinion that there was as much necessity for destroyers at canal ports as at any other American ports where they were stationed to prevent breaches. Right Side of Balance. Washington. ? November foreign trade statistics show a balance in fa vor of the United States of $79,299, 417. For October the balance was $56,630,650, for September $16,341,722, while in August it was $19,400,406 against the United States. Novem ber's exports announced by the De partment of Commerce totalled $205, 766,424 and imports $126,467,007. Tl.ere as a decrease of $71,000,000 in cotton exports compared with Novem ber, 191? Then he mounted his horse and led I his staff to the slight hill near La Belle Alliance. There they remained j till seven o'clock, when Napoleon, look ing through his glass, said: "I think that I see the Prussian Hag." A gen eral replied: "I think so, too." There upon Napoleon shook his head and turned pale. As they rode on to La Haye Sainte a hail of bullets assailed them. Coster ducked his head. But Napoleon muttered: my f/iend; TballjT ou INCREASES FREIGHT RATES ARE GRANTED ?( \ EASTERN RAILROADS ARE AL LOWED INCREASE OF FIVE PER CENT. THE PRESIDENT IS PLEASED Wilson Expects Decision to Have Immediate Effect on business. Will Add S30 OOO.OOO. Washington.?Further increases in freight rates were granted to the Eastern ra'lroads by the Interstate Commerce Commission in a decision from which Chairman Hallan and Commissioner Clements dissented vigorously. Except on lake and raii traffic, coal,, coke, iron ore and certain other traf fic, upon which the commission here tofore has fixed rates adjudicated "reasonable," all railroads operating in the territory between the Atlantic 'seaboard and tile Mississlippi, north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, were allowed the flat five per cent increase for which they have been asking for four years. The railroads hoped to get increases yhlch would add to the annual rev enues some $50,000,000. The commis sion's decision is expected to give them additional! revenue approximate ing $30,000,000. The roads east of a North and South line drawn through Buffalo, Pitts burg and Charleston, W. Va? won by today's decision from the increases other than upon the traffic excepted which were denied them in the com missioner's decision last August The roads west of thi* line, which gokpar tial advances in the August decision, received further advances;, so that now all the roads in what 1b describ ed as official classification territory will enjoy uniform advances in both class and commodity rates. The majority of the commission held that the roads had established in the latest hearings a greater Tieed of ad ditional net income than ever before. This was due, the-decision held, to ex igencies arising out of the war and to an already existing necessity for addi tional revenues to maintain the rail road properties. Chairman Harlan in his dissenting opinion, held that sufficient aid had been given the roads by the August decision and that the findings of the ma 1r?H+v wojb "mrkrollv wrnnr " fnm missioner Clements based his dissent upon what he regarded as the Inabil ity in law, of the commission to take cognizance of anything in the making of rates other than their justice and reasonableness. / UP AND AT 'EM NOW. England Rises in Anger?Would Avenge Scarborough. London.?Although there seems no doubt the Russians are retreating, and that for the present any expectation the Allies may have held of an early invasion of Germany must be dis missed, considerable mystery sur rounds the reported decisive German victory which Berlin celebrated. Vienna gives a few details of fight ing in the East. The claim is made that the Russians have been driven from their positions north of the Car pathian mountains from Krosno to Zakllicyn which would indicate that part of the Southern line of railway in Galicia again is in the hands of the Austrians and that Piotrkow and another Central Poland town hare been stormed, but silence is main tained as to North Poland where the German vicotry is said to have been achieved. "Avenge Scarborough! Up and at 'em now." Mexican Bullets Still Flying. Naco.?Five Bullets from the Mexi can fighting around Naco, Sonora, struck near shelters built by United States troops on the border. Many other shots fell on United States ter ritory. Intermittent firing on the Mexican side continued all day. Hill's Carran za troops, defending Naco, seemed to by doing most of the shooing. Methods Still Asiinder. Atlanta.?No definite action on the proposed amalgamation of the North ern and Southern branches of the Methodist Church was taken by the Church Commission on Federation, which adjourned here after three days of deliberation.
