FLEET 18 STAY IT VERA GRUZ

Closing of Port on Order of Carranza Changes Plans of Mobilizing Men-of-War at Naraganseit. WASHINGTON. SVpt. :. The unF"ttle! joitic;tl contt ! t. -n ;-n. Villa anil Provisional Pr s. Carranza and the elosin of th port of Wr.i Cruz Ly d r of Carranza has ltd to a change in th" olan to n-mov- the American fk- t from Mexican waters, ;nd a !arq- f ore will remain at Vera Cruz indefinitely. Iifore th new evidences ranza'M Inutility it had been to mobilize the whole Atlantic Narra'ansftt. Illuh naval of Cardecided fleet Oi'f vi id today that this plan has bt-in changed, and that there now will be no ha.tc- In removing the battleships and other naval vessels now at Vera Cruz. Carranza's port order as It is understood here, that oil cannot be shipped from Tampico into Wra. Cruz, thus -ripplln' the fuel supply for the railroad between Vera Cruz and Mexico City. Despite the singular attitude of Carranza, It was at the war department toJay that if Mexican and for--in ships are prohibited from entering Vera Cruz it will help American commerce. It is understood that Carranza's order is aimed at American as well as foreign yhips, but as Gen. J'unston controls the port the Mexican government has no means of enforcingthe order against American vessels. The war department declares that Carranza has not asked the United States to withdraw its troops fim Vera Cru, but in a public statement ix months ago he denounced the occupation of Vera Cruz as unjustifiable. It is known that he has riot changed his position and that he bitterly regents the presence of American soldiers on .Mexican soil. The plan of the state department as announced during the Niagara modiiition conference was that there shoulj llrst be an election !n Mexico, a commission appointed to adjust claims and international questions and that then the United States would take up with the new president the question of withdrawing from Vera Cruz. ( lp to Carran.a. It Is understood that Paul Fuller, the president's personal representative, due at Texas City Tuesday, will reiterate this program to Carranza and upon the latter's answer will rest the question of reinforcing Gen. Funsion and the adoption of a more drastic policy to whip the provisional president into line. The fact that nothing has been done toward the calling of a general election in Mexico has created the suspicion, that Carranza is trying to produce a situation that will justify his retention of the power he now holds as military dictator in Mexico City. This course is feared by the administration as certain to bring hostilities between Carranza and Villa throwing Mexico on e more into chaos and bloodshed. It was learned today that France nas a uen on me customs or era Cruz as security for loans to Mexico. The customs receipts have amounted to about $"0,000 a month and have ben held in trust for France by (Jen. Funston. Part of the motive back off Carranza's order closing the port was to shut off this revenue from Vera Cruz and divert it to ports where the revenues would reach Carranza's hands. While administration officials will comment pnblbly only in optimistic vein, it is admitted privately that the situation in Mexico is extremely dubious and critical. Recently a cabinet official admitted that the situation was more serious than at any time during the past two years and that the outcome was awaited with apprehension by the administration. HARDY SAYsliOMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE Uier Park Residents Complain Torn I'p Condition of Miliawaka Av, of Complaint are coming from residents of River Park regarding the torn up condition of Mishawaka hv., it being alleged that the Chicago. South Bend and Northern Indiana Railway Co. is responsible. When F. J. Hardy was presented w ith the complaint Tuesday he vigorously denied the responsibility of the railway company, claiming that it has nothing whatever to do with the inconvience to the residents of River Park. I have been expecting complaints from residents of that part of the cltv for months." he declared. "The streets out there have been torn up i almost continually for three years and ' constantly during the past year lie- ! cause of the construction of sewers along Mishawaka av. We have been ! f ompelled to move our tracks at va- j r!ou times on account of this fact j and this has happened so often that ! It makes one dizzy headed to keep a j line on the location of the tracks. It! has been necessary to have an extra! on the north side line for the past four or five months to cope with the circumstances. I understand that we ! will be able to shane matters up more j satisfactorily for all concerned with-! in the next few but the railway company is net responsible fort the Inconvenience to residents as the ' digging of the sewers under the tracks' has necessitated their iemoal."

GERMAN ARMY EXPERT ANALYZES WAR STRATEGY

H Tupl. IIwaM Decker of the Iloyal Dragon. firrnian arm. 13th The iron rinjf is drawn closer and closer round the left wing of the allied arms. If we can believe the news that the army of Iuke Albrecht of V.'urtemburg succeeded in breaking through the French line (f defense by his advance from Itooroi on the left bank of the river Meuse as far as Keth1, about 25 nubs northeast of Kheims, then the situation of the French north army with its Fnglish auxiliary seems to be a desperate one. The same fate as that of the array of Napoleon III., this time near La Fere and Laon seems to be inetitahle. only the difference that perhaps fragments of the allied armies may manage to make their escape via Slosson to Paris Instead of being disarmed, .is in 1S7 by neutral Ilelgian fcrces north of Sedan. "Will Hrrak HoiMaiwo. Another great advantage will spring out of this penetrating movement in the direction of Pethel. It will break the stubborn resistance of the French forces on the left bank of the Mense in the region of Sedan and Montmedy. opposite the army of the crown prince. A longer delay by these outwinded French forces is bound to prove fatal to them. The crown prince and his troops, blocked at the Mouse for several days because his pontoon bridges, according to statements from Paris, being destroyed again and again by the well aimed fire of the French artillery, will now force their way across the Meuse valley to that of the river Aisne. This advan v will open to the Germans the use of the railroads from Luxemburg and Dledenhofen (the Frenrh Thionville) into France, thus making them more independent of HOME MADE GOWNS ARE PUT ON DISPLAY rolertoii llnw. Dry Goods Co. Shows Beautiful Creations on Living Model. outh Bend women are rare privilege this week by given a the Robertson Bros. Dry ing demonstrated and economy of from home made Goods Co. in havthe attractiveness home made gowns materials. In ord?r that women may understand the practicability of home dressmaking. the managers of the store have secured the services of Mrs. M. Mossgrove of the Pictorial Review Co. of New York city. The gowns shown on living models at the Robertson store from 10 to 11' In the morning and 2 to 4 in the afternoon are garments made in the store during the sewing week, and Mrs. Mossgrove demonstrates the possibility of producing by means o' the Pictorial Review patterns, gowns fully as beautiful and attractive as any offered by garment houses or retail dealers at much less than a third of the cost. The object of the demonstration is to assist the home dressmaker in securing for herself the most stylish and up-to-date gowns at little cost. Ten very nobby styles are shown at a cost much below the prices demanded by dealers in ready made garments. Mrs. Mossgrove stated that most of the styles in gowns and wraps for' the winter will be designed at home and she believes that American wom en will be f.:lly as satisfied with home made styles as with the usual Parisian designs. The popular tunic skirt will predominate with various alterations and will eventually, according to designers, lengthen into a straight, full skirt with a flaring bottom. The short skirt tendency is destined to a short life, according to Mrs Mossgrove. for most of the winter designs are appearing longer again. The pleated skirt will be in vogue again in winter styles. The demonstration continued through Monday. Tuesday and today under Mrs. Mossgrove's direction. She returns to New York tomorrow but the entire week at the store is being devoted to sewing for the benefit of the home dressmaker. SUFFRAGE CLUB MEETS Yoiinz Women DUeus Practical Polltics and Legislature. Plans were made Tuesday evening at the regular meeting of the Young Women's Suffrage club, held at the Kindergarten Training school in Melville hall, for the regular program of meetings during the year. Miss Margaret Tab!n. chairman of the society, presided. A study was made of practical politics nr.'.1. rsons for the necessity of a new state constitution. A study will be made of the results of the election this fall. A discussion of different legislatures also occupied a large share of the evening. Plans were discussed for raising money with which to carry on the w ork and for increasing the membership of the club. In March the league will he reorganized after which time it will be open to anyone seeking membership. notici:.

their, up to now, rather long and un- 1 protected lines of communication ' through the north of Heigium. i It is clear that the concentration of four strong, well based German: armies in the Champaigne means the breakdow n of the whole French sys- ! tme of defense on their east frontier from Helfort to Verdun. I

Lven an overwhelming success Mr the French in the region of Nancv or St. Die, or in upper Alsace couldn't materially alter the aspect of the sit- ; nation in the north. To the contrary, j If the French make their advance ! tlo?e to the German line of defense, between Metz. Strassburg, Neubrie- t sach and the fortifications north of I Uasle, they would run only deeper into the trap, enabling the victorious German armies In the Champaigne to close the gates behind them. That the Russian advance will find its difficulties is shown clearly bv the last J Gen wireless news from the eastern erman frontier. Kiisvian Menace Small. Pefore the menace of the Russian ! allies can become real to the lighting i Teutons in the west, many a drop of j water will run down the Vistula river; into the Baltic sea. So long as no other proofs of the j Russian victories on the eastern the- j ater of war reach us than those of the,' capture of three of their army corps, with all their officers and the whole ' artillery; so long as they officially try ! to encourage their oppressed allies in the west with Impossible statements such as the mutiny among the Polish soldiers of the sixth German Rresleau army corps, an army corps which consists entirely of genuine Prussians, the general staff may without anxiety follow up the program in France to a final success. For those w ho are not familiar with German military movements I may add that, just to avoid the possibility of such occurrences the Polish reservists are divided among the different army corps In the western provinces of the empire.
