Flans to have Governor Manning

These State officials are In reality

that the president appointa his cabi

UNCERTAINTY
EXISTS IN CITY
Villa Orders Officials of National

fices North.
*"""""?"?"-""*"
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1?.-Indica
tions reached the state department to
day that General Villa ls planning to
withdraw lils torces from Mexico
City and concentrate his attention on
a campaign for mastery of the mili
tary situation in the north. Official
dispatches also referred to friction
between the Zapata and Villa ele
ments, but Enrique G. Ll?rente, Vil
la's representative here, sahl tonight
he had assurances that hsrmony pre
vailed between the two chiefs.
Much uncertainty ls known to exist
In Mexico City. Villa's order that of
ficials of the National Railways move
their offices north, the activity of ' of
ficials In packing their records, and
other evidences of an impending
change are looked upon by officials
here as presaging another evacuation
of the capital.
Such an eventuality Would leave the
Mexican situation moro confused than
ever. Officials admitted today that the
exact relation of the factions never
waa so indistinct. \ .
Carranza and his cabinet are set up
itt. Vera Crus. Their main forces at
Puebla, under General Obregon, are
approaching Mexico City. Gutierrez
jg^P?jh^ T*1
Puebla. Zapata is believed' to bc at
Cuerhavaca with the bu: . of his
forces. A comparatively small garri
son commanded by Garza, temporary
executive, holds Mexico City. Villa's
forces control the railroad from
Juarez to Aguas Calientes and that
from Ssa Luis Potosi to Monterey.
. The state department's latest' dis
patch from Mexico City, dated 2 p. m.
yesterday, ls summarised In this state
ment:
"Mexico City is quiet, but there ls
much uncertainty as to vhat turn af
fairs may take- It baa been widely
published le Mexico City that Villa is
on bis way there with a largo force.
On tba other hand, there aro reports
that be will not come further south
thant Queretaro, where he now ls.
"It ls now known that the provis
ional wea iden t with bis party went*
to Pa chuca. It is reported the presi
dent took with him a large amount of
supplies. General Palafox was quot
ed In a naper of January 18 as an
nouncing the occupation of Orizaba
by Che forces ot the convention. It
alan was published that Cordoba ts
threatened.
"There is said'to be a scarcity of
articles Ot prime necessity in the city,
and depreciated currency makes
prices high.
"The department ts in receipt, of
dispatch of Monterey with reference
to tho departure of followers of Car
rnnsa from- that place. The dispatch
states that they left there January 15
and that'the army of the national
convention* commanded by General
Felipe Angeles and Generals Emilio
Madero* and Paoul Madero, entered

RURAL CREDITS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1?.-Althougn i
there may be no opportunity to enact j
rural cr?dite legislation nt thia ses

activity on thia oubjeet with a view
to report a bill in the near future.
In accordince with the resolutton
adopted by the Democratic caucus
Monday night, declaring it the sense or
the nennte Democrats that a rural
credits system bill be pressed at the
earliest practical date, the banking
committee today decided to get such
a measure before the senate The com.
mlttee tomorrow will take up tho bill
known aa the Hollis bill, tramad by
the Joint banking subcommlttteo of the
senate and "house last summer.
Some leading Democratic senator?
Insisted that an extra session of Con
gress could not be avoided.
Those who hold that view argue
?that there ls ne necessity for imme

that time therefore can be given ru
ral credits legislation. That plan will
bfi urged at a party caucas in the near

President Wilson, who suggested fn
his annual measage that there would
not be time to take up rurel credits
?at this session, told callers today it
[was his understanding that the senate
Democrats did not mean to Infer by
their caucus action that a rural cred
its measure should be rushed through
at thia time. .
Tho Hollis bill would establish ru
ral credit 3ystam under general con
trol ot the federal reserva board. An

be known as the farm loan commis

LONDON, Jan. 19.-Heavy snow
tails In Prance and tn Flanders have
confined fighting almost entirely to
artillery engagements. There has. been
ene exception, however, southwest of
Verdun, near Pont-a-Mouaaon, where
the French are reported to have ap
proached a few hundred yards nearer
the German frontier.
Military men attach considerable <
importance to operations in thia re- <
gion, for. they say, in conjunction with 1
the continued French pressure on the i
German lines west of the Fortress of
Perthes, they will check, If Successful, I
German operations against Verdun, i
around which they have had a half l
circle drawn since they invaded
France.
Of the progress of the battles in |
East Prussia and Poland the official ;
reports give less information than
UBual. Loquacity seems to be avoided
wheo a big new movement is com
mencing, such as that which the Rus
sians are carrying out between the
Bast Prussian border and ths> lower
Vistula. In this operation, as far aa
can be Judged, from th0 H cant details
furnished, the Russians are making a
big sweep to the weat and north, evi
dently trying .to prevent Field Mar
Some Petrograd newspaper corres- :
pondent? credit the Russians with
crossing the Vistula south and east of
Plock. If this is true, military men say,
they must have a large force and prob
ably are In a position to tb resten the
German left flank, which has DMD try
ing for weeks to force its way to War
saw.
In some London quarters there ia a
tendency to believe the Germans.soon
will retire to their own frontier in the
?fear that a winter spent on their pres
ent Hoe, the communications with
which sre declared to be bad, would
result In a heavy loss of men.
Russian troops which croosed the
Carpathians aro reported to have af
fected a Junction and when the plans
for an advance Into Transylvania aro
complete an attempt will be made, lt
ls said, to invade Hungary from the
north, and east.
Keports from the Caucasus say the
Russians still are pursuing the rem
nants of the Turkish army corps they
defeated. These reports say that even
snow does not stop the movements of
the Russians, who are harrying tho
Turkish first anny corps, defeated at
Ardahan, driving it across the Chor
okn river as well as gathering in more
prisoners and materials belonging to
th? Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh corps,
which are declared to have been more
severely , bandied than the first corps.

the king's royal residenco in Sand
ringham County, Norfolk.
King George and Queen Mary, who
ttave stayed at Sandringham with
their family, only yesterday returned
to London.
It is not definitely known whether
the raiders were Zeppelins or aero
planes, but Zeppelins were reported
yesterday as passing over the North
Sea In a westerly direction and some
believe these were the raiders.
The night was dark and cloudy,
which made lt Impossible for the peo
ple in the town over which they, pass
ed.to distinguish even the outlines of
the raiders, though.the whirr ot their
propellers and the droning ot their
motors could ba heard..
A Zeppelin is reported to have been
brought down by a warship at Hun
stanton, a few miles north of Sand
ringham.* "^^a^jS
Bombs were dropped in Yarmouth,
King's Lyn, Sandringham. Cromer,
8heerlngham and Beestort. Ewery
wbere except at Beesten casualties
and damage to property resulted.
The first pla*? visited was the wide
ly known seaside resort- sad fishing
town of Yarmouth.
A man and woman were helled, a
number of persons were injured and
much damage to property was done by
the raiders. Their visit lasted less
than ten minutes.
Four or five bombs were dropped lu
Yarmouth. When the attack began
the authorities gave Instructions that
all lights be extinguished and other
precautionary measures were ' taken.
Few signs or panic were seen during
the raid. . ;
Apparently the raiders after , visit
ing Yarmouth flew over Cromer,
where they dropped, bombs and then
went to Sheeiingham and Beesten.
Turning inland from there they made
for Sandringham, dropping explosive
missiles there and at King's Lynn,
where a boy was* killed and a mab,
woman and a child were Injured. Two
houses were destroyed.
The damage at Sandringham has
not been reported. It ls known, how
ever, that the royal palace was not
harmed. A bomb penetrated a house
but did not explode.
