WILL BE UNITED March on Mexico City to Be- gin Shortly. VILLA OCCUPIES CENTER Other Constitutionalist Armies to the East and West Are to Join Him and Attack on Capital Will Be Made by Sixty Thousand Men. Ak d kbR * Saltillo, Mex., July 9.—(Via < Laredo, Tex., July 11.)—Guay- * mas, one of the most impor- < tant seaports on the Mexican ¢ west coast, was evacuated by *+ federals late today, according <+ to advices to General Carran- + za. * R R i e T L4 LR R O El Paso, Tex., July 11.—The speedy return of Villa’s army southward from Chihuahua City to resume the cam- paign against Mexico City was pre- dicted here following receipt of ad- vices from Torreon that the interna- tional peace conference was ended and a report of its transactions soon would be given to the press. With Guadalajara in Constitutional- ist hands and San Luis Potosi be- sieged by the revolutionists there re- main only two or three points of de- fense for the federals between the na- tional capital and the southern edge of the territory controlled by the revo- lutionists. On the east General Pab- lo Gonzeles, with an army of 20,000 men, holds dominion from the border to San Luis Potosi, twenty-four hours by rail from Mexico City. In the center General Villa's divi- sion occupies the country from Juarez to Aguas Calientes, eighteen hours’ travel from the capital city of Mex- ico. To the west General Obregon has stretched his lines as far as Guadala- jara, within six hours’ ride by rail- way of the central goal. Will Converge on Capital. Once San Luis Potosi is capturac the three military divisions of the rebel forces will converge on Mexico City, according to assertions made in El Paso by both Carranza and Villa followers. When this combination is effected 60,000 men will be available for the movement against the ultimate goal. It is predicted here that this concentration will take place at Cela- ya, state of Guanajuato, eight hours’ ride from Mexico City, a junction of railway lines from Guadalajara, Ajuas Calientes and San Luis Potosi. Before the three armies arrive there two or three strongly fortified towns held by Huerta's troops, including Guanajuato and Silao, must be cap- tured. From Celaya, the meeting point, the combined armies would have before them only one fortified city, Querataro, ninety miles from Mexico City, and the place where Hu- erta, according to general belief, in- tends to make his last stand. General Obregon has advised Gen- eral Carranza that his troops in tak- ing Guadalajara captured fifteen troop trains and eight cannon. Obregon stated also that seven machine guns, plenty of rifles and rifle ammunition and two carloads of cannon ammuni- tion were abandoned by the enemy. DREAM REALIZED BY NEW PEACE TREATY United States-British Pact to Bind Nations Closer, London, July 11.—The Daily News, commenting editorially on the an- nouncement of Walter H. Page, Amer- ican ambassador, at the peace cen- tenary meeting, that a new treaty be- tween the United States and Great Britain looking to a closer binding of the two countries was being con- cluded, says: “This fact, which has crowned Sec- retary of State Bryan’s lifelong fight for peace, is the realization of a dream with which Sir Edward Grey roused the house of commons to an astonishing display of enthusiasm three years ago, but which the amia- ble weakness of Mr. Taft was not strong enough to translate into ac- tion. “Mr. Bryan's proposals are strictly practical, the object of referring dis- putes to a commission being to secure time for reflection and cooling off when public opinion is dangerously excited.” Four Die When Boat Upsets. Brantford, Ont., July 11.—In a boat- ing accident Thomas Garnett, a wealthy farmer, his two children and a maid lost their lives on the Grand river. The other occupant of the boat, a farmhand, swam to the river bank and gave the alarm, but the boat and its occupants had disappeared be- fore aid arrived. Westinghouse Strikers Secure Prom- Ise From Company. Pittsburg, July 11.—The 12,000 em- ployes of the Westinghouse company, who have been on strike for five weeks, will return to work Monday. This decision was reached after the company had promised that grievances ‘would be corrected if presented prop- erly. 2 The strikers demanded recognition of their union, fmproved working con- ditions and, in some cases, increases 1a pay. CREAT VOLCANIG OUTBURST SEEN Mountains Along Alaskan Coast in Action. NEW CRATERS OPENED Steamer Captain Brings Additional Details of Present Tremendous Activity Reaching From Seward to the Aleutian lIslands. * Seward, Alaska, July 11.—Further details of the tremendous volcanic ac- tivity in progress along the Alaskan peninsula, west of Seward and reach- ing to the Aleutian islands, were giv- en by Captain McMullen of the steam- er Dirigo, which brought.first news of the outburst. A new crater has opened on the north side of Mount Shishaldin. Flow- ing lava has cut a path through the snow for miles down the side of the mountain. Mount Shishaldin, which is on Unimak island, is one of the most active volcanoes. in the world and has been in almost continuous eruption for years. Pavlof volcano, on the Alaska pen- insula west of Shumagin island, 100 miles from Mount Shishaldin, also was active as the Dirigo passed. Ashes Fall on Steamer. The action 'of Pavlof was peculiar, the mountain throwing out a black ash, some of which fell on the Dirigo. Pavlof has not been in eruption since 1912. Fishermen reported two of the six craters in the mountain ridge west of Cook inlet, known as Mount Katmai, emitting dense volumes of sulphur- laden smoke, but none of the other craters had been active, It is believed the present activity began late in May, as the weather since then has been similar to that following the first violent outburst of Katmai June 9, 1912, when Kodiak island and the adjacent mainland was covered with a deep layer of-volcanic ash. - WILSON FIRM FOR WARBURG Puts Blame on Senate for Leaving Reserve Board Incomplete. Washington, July 11.—President Wilson will make no nomination for the federal reserve board in place o! Paul Warburg of New York until the senate takes definite action on his name.

Mr. Warburg has finally decided that he will not appear personally be- fore the banking committee to be cross-examined and the president is backing him in that stand. The. nomination of Thomas D. Jones, which the banking committee s voted to report adversely, is in a different position. A fight for his confirmation may be conducted in a minority report. PLUMBERS’ HEAD PLEADS G. F.
