MEXICAN MIXUP_|BRITONS PATROL [ GROWS WORSE, ATLANTIC COAST Three Distinct Governments| Dozen Warships Between Now in Existence. New York and Panama. BLOODSHED SEEMS LIKELY| GREAT WIRELESS ACTIVITY Resort to Arms Appears to Be Only Method for Deciding Supremacy of the Various Factions Seeking_ Con- trol of the Southern Republic. Washington, Dec. 1.—With three distinct governments proclaimed in Mexico and others believed ready to burst into bloom, a battle royal which will show one distinct faction supreme appears to be in sight. General Pablo “Gonzales; who has heretofore been looked upon as one of Carranza’s supporters, is reported heading one, and his defection may prove serious to Carranza. Gonzales is reported at Pachuca, forty miles northeast of Mexico City, with the outposts of Villa’s army in close proximity. At the same time Carranza and Vil- la forces are near at Tampico, where General Luis Caballero has repudiated Carranza and declared for Villa and the Giuterrez government. Mexico City, now held by Zapata troops, with several of Villa's veteran regiments in reserve, is reported quiet. The reorganized police force is in complete control and all threat- ened rioting is being effectively stamped out. MRS. DUER AND BLAKE WED Divorced Wife of Clarence Mackay and New York Surgeon Married. Paris, Dec. 1.—Dr. Joseph A. Blake, the New York surgeon, who for some time has been living in Paris, and Mrs. Katherine Alexander Duer, for- merly Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay of New York, were married here.

Mrs. Katherine Blake was granted a divorce from Dr. Joseph Blake at Winsted, Conn., last Friday on the grounds of desertion. Clarence H. Mackay and his wife, who was' Miss Katherine A. Duer of New York, were divorced in Paris last February. The divorce was described as a “mutual divorce,” an institution known only to the courts of France.

Gutheim rep- resenting the interstate commerce commission. Mr. Gutheim announced that an attempt will be made to se- cure an accurate analysis of all the financial transactions in which the road has been involved. The testi- mony then will be turned over to the interstate commerce commission, The first witness was Clarence S. Sykes of Wayne, an auditor for the receivers. «TIPPERARY” SONG BARRED Secretary Daniels Approves Order For bidding Singing of Tune. Washington, Dec. 1.—Secretary Daniels expressed approval of the ac- tion of Lieutenant Commander F. T. Evans, commanding the naval train- ing station at Newport, L. I, in for- bidding the singing of “It's a Long Way to Tipperary” by naval appren- tices. Secretary Daniels said as “Tipperary” was the marching song of the British forces it ought not to be sunk or played by American sailors, any more than should the “Marseil- laise” or “Wacht Am Rhein.” CHILDREN EATEN BY WOLVES Bones of Boy and Girl Found in Ne- vada Hills. Reno, Nev.,, Dec. 1.—Grewsome evi- dence of what is believed to be the murder of a girl about sixteen years old and a boy about nine years old have been found in the hills near Toy, Humboldt county.

Powerful Appatatus of Fighting Ves- sels Causing Great to Merchant Steamers Sailing the Seas in Their Vicinity. Inconvenience New York, Dec. 1.—At least twelve British warships are patrolling the At- lantic between New York and the Panama canal, sweeping the seas with their wireless, crowding ordinary commercial radios from the air and keeping close check on all forms of shipping, according to wireless oper- ators on the steamship Ancon, just arrived here from Cristobal. The wireless activity of these war vessels, the operators said, is causing great inconvenience to the commercial work of American vessels, as the high pow- ered waves of the men-of-war are heard continually in utter disregard of commercial business. “These warships,” the Ancon’s op- erator said, “pay no attention to the rules governing wireless operations. With their high power apparatus they cut into the middle of a message and absolutely disregarded all requests to keep out. “We have no means of identifying the ships, as they use code exclusive- ly—code that appears to be made up of a combination of numbers. We counted twelve different warships that jammed our wireless on the way up.” The Ancon brought from the canal zone ten members of the congression- al committee on appropriations, who have been making an. official inspec- tion of the great waterway. GERMANY WARNS SWEDEN Demands That Newspapers Stop Un- friendly Utterances. London, Dec. 1.—Germany has de- manded that the Swedish government suppress unfriendly utterances against Germany in Swedish newspapers, ac- cording to word received from the Daily Mail's Copenhagen correspond- ent. It is declared that Sweden is losing at ledst $15,000,000 a year because of Germany’s making wood a contra- band of war. A strong: feeling has’grown against Germany in Sweden and Norway on account of this and a plan has been agitated of making some sort of pact with Russia whereby wood could be shipped to England under guard of Swedish and Norwegian warships. WOMAN DIES FROM SHOCK Accidental Shot, Combined With Pre. vious lliness, Causes Death. Duluth, Dec. 1.—Shock due to an accidental shot from a rifle her hus- band was cleaning, combined with an illness with which she was suffering. caused the death of Mrs. J. G. Bloom- quist of Atwood. Her husband was cleaning a rifle in the same room where Mrs. Bloom- quist lay ill, when it was discharged, the bullet shattering her right ankle. She died a short time later and physi- cians said death was due to shock. COFFEE EXCHANGE REOPENS Market Is Steady, With Offerings for Sale Small. New York, Dec. 1.—The New York Coffee Exchange reopened for unre- stricted trading after having been dark for four months as the result of the European war situation. Opening prices were 130 to 149 be- low the closing bids of July 30; but they were also 7 to 14 points above the quotations. made through the liquidating committee on Saturday. The market's tone was steady and there was comparatively little coffee for sale. Offerings were readily ab- sorbed by houses with European con- nections. It was evident that Europe was attracted to the local market by the low prices. MONEY ORDER RUSH BEGUN Little Cash Being Sent to Countries at War. Chicago, Dec. 1.—The annual Yule- tide rush to send money orders as presents to relatives abroad has be- gun. Few orders were directed to the countries at war, but the average of previous years was maintained with regard to other countries. It was said that the general holiday season money order business is run- ning close to $1,000,000 daily, or about the same as a vear ago. Three in Sleigh Drowned. Winnipeg, Dec. 1.—A triple drown- ing occurred at the mouth of the Red river, a point fifty miles north of Win- nipeg.

FROM WARRING NATIONS (Continued from Page 1.) - Another tremendous order from Great Britian has just been brought back by Frederick S. Fish, president of the Studebaker corporation, of South Bend, Ind. To supply more than $15,000,000 worth of automo- bfles, wagons, sleds, harness and other equipment is the prize job which he picked up abroad. Filling it will bring employment to. thou- sands of men. Kenosha, Wis., also gets a big au- tomobile order—for 500 trucks— and another—for $1,00,000 worth of automobiles for France—has just been received in Jackson, Mich. Thus, many sections of the nation are sharing in the big boom. One of the most interesting of war orders is that now being filled in St. Paul, by a concern which has agreed to sup- ply the French army with %000 sheep- skin coats a week—at $8 a piece! That means $32,000 a week to go to the twin cities for this industry alone. War Supplies of All Kinds. At Swanton, Vt., a belligerent pow- er has placed within the last few days an order for $2,500,000 worth of rifle cartridges. A $4,00,000 award for bullets has gone to a concern in East St. Louis. The Pratt and Whitney company, of Hartford, Conn., is en- gaged in filling a $1,500,000 order from China for gunmaking tools. Big knitting mills at Delavan, Wis., are working full force on an order of 400,000 sweaters for a army. At Bridgeport and New Haven, European burg are other factories which have started work ,within the last few days on huge orders for cartridges, shells, -bullets and rifies. Eighteen million dollars worth will be made in Boston alone! = The coal fields are sharing\in the reyival, the United States Steel cor- poration having just ordered all its West Virginia coal mines to resume full-time operations at once. Home Trade Picks Up, Too. In fields not directly afrected by the European demand many signs of better-than-ever times are seen. Fed- eral authorities will soon be able to lift completely the quarantine on live stoek. The Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota banks report that farmers in that region have an extra- quality corn crop, and will receive record prices for it. The cotton -men in the south find that, according to last week’s figures, cotton exports are now practically at the weekly mark of last year. 3 The American Telegraph and Tele- phone company says traffic has again reached the average of last year, showing normal business conditions. From the great lakes copper region comes news that every available pound of copper is last being shipped, the orders being for immediate deliy- ery and domestic consumption. Finally, dispatches indicate that the loosening of credit and quicken- ing of trade movement as a direct result of the opening of the federal reserve banking system is becoming more and more obvious in all sections of the country, Need any neip?
