CITY OF MEXICO Nove Said to Be Due to “*'Lack of Ammunition. FORCES NEEDED IN NORTH Anpther ‘Report Says Action of Mexi- i ‘oan Commander Is Result of Attack on -His Lines of Communication. Carranza Message Asserts Gutierrez .. Has Resigned Presidency. L X R R R R R L - . Washington, Dec. 29.—Gen- + eral Villa’s forces have sus- 4 - pended their attacks on Ebano, %’ near Tampico, and have con- 4 “centrated their attack on the 4 geaport of Tuxpan, where fight- 4 ing is in progress, according to + advices to the state depart- < ment. e b + LR R R ‘Washington, Dec. 29.—Semi-official reports say that the Villa forces are evacuating Mexico City because of a lack of ammunition, according to a telegram from Carranza representa- tives at Galveston, published by the Carranza agency here. The telegram says the reports are “not confirmed” and adds: “It is believed the Villa forces are doing this on account of the crying need of forces in the north to save Hnes of communication and to pre- vent Torreon, Chihuahua and Juarez from being captured. Villa would pre- fer to engage in battle outside of the capital with Carranza's army of 100, 000 men lying between here and Mex- ico City. “Eulalio Gutierrez, through a com- mission, has authorized Antonio I. Vil- iareal, as president of the now extinct Aguas Calientas convention, to accept his resignation as provisional presi- dent and to notify Carranza that his services will be at the orders of the first chief. Whereabouts Unknown. “The whereabouts of Gutierrez are not known definitely, but it is believed he is making his way toward San Luis Potosi. This action on the part of Gutierrez, which is being followed by many of his subordinates, is thought to account in part also for Vil- la’s hurried concentration in the north. “It was reported officially to the war department that half of the Torreon grrlsnn, which is enveloped by loyal rces, has revolted against Villa and 4 fighting the other half in the name ot Carranza.” Dispatches to the state department from the Brazilian minister in Mex- {co City said he had a conference with Gutlerrez. ““The general situation as reflected in official dispatches was viewed as not altogether encouraging. Friction is regarded as apparent between the Za- pata element and the Gutierrez-Villa faction, which thus far, however, has not resulted in any serious break. CANADIAN TROOPS KILL AN AMERICAN Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 29.—One Amer- ican was killed instantly and another seriously wounded by Canadian troops ?lt!‘nl“ng the Canadian border at Fort Erie, Ont., opposite this city. ‘The men were hunting ducks out of season in the Niagara river and in Canadian waters. Provincial Police Officer Thomas Delaney of Fort Erie ordered the men to stop shooting. They declined and Delaney called up- on a corporal and two privates of the Forty-fourth battalion of the Cana- dian militia for assistance. The corporal ordered the men to come ashore. Instead they headed their boat for the American shore and were beating a hasty retreat when, at the order of Delaney, the soldiers fired upon them. Walter Smith was shot through the head and killed and Charles Dorsch was wounded in the shoulder. Both lived in Buffalo. STOWAWAYS FROM NEW YORK Germans on the Liner Frederick VIIl. Interned in Copenhagen. Copenhagen, Dec. 29.—A number of German BtoWaways on the Scandina- vian-American liner Frederick VIIL from New York were interned here on the arrival of the vessel, which appar- ently was not stopped by British war- ships, as otherwise the stowaways ‘would have been made prisoners. A majority of them when discover- ed some days out agreed to work their passage. The rest refused, and were arrested. Rural Mail Carrier Killed. Shakopee, Minn., Dec. 29.—While burrying to catch an Omaha train here Ben Liverman, rural mail carrier, ‘was killed, and John Razor, a farmer, was perhaps fatally hurt when their automobile skidded and ran into a tree.

GAYEMOST TO HUNGRY MEN Money Handed Out in Small Sums to the Bowery’s Homeless to Enable Them to Secure Food and Lodging. Kept Only Enough to Pay His Own | Board. New York, Dec. 29.—Fred Hoyt, singer in a Bowery mission, pleaded guilty to the theft of $1,400 in jewelry | from an apartment house, but be-} sought the court’s clemency on the‘ plea that he stole only to benefit the poor. He will be sentenced later. | | Hoyt said he had stolen about $4,- 000, all of which he had given to the poor, except barely enough to pay his ' own board. He did not benefit beyond | this by any of his thefts, he said. 1 The money was given out in small ' sums, according to his story, among the Bowery’s homeless men to enable them to get food and lodging. His' method of distributing it was to stand, ' after services, at the doorway of thej migsion where he had sung and be- stow coins on the departing worship-' ers. i Heavy Orders for Projectile Steel Re- ceived in Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Dec. 29.—Orders for 65, 000 tons of high carbonized steel rounds appeared in the Pittsburg dis- trict, 50,000 tons for France and 15.; 000 tons for Russia. Recently 266,000 tons of this grade of steel, used in making shrapnel shells, were shipped to Europe. It is understood that Charles Mec- Knight, president of the Caron Steel company, is now in Europe in connec- tion with orders for similar material, although a number of other mills in the district are turning out the steel, the purchasers insisting on prompt delivery. It is estimated that fully $6,000,000 worth of trenching tools, galvanized sheets, wire and projectile steel have been bought in Pittsburg for the Eu- ropean belligerents in the last two months.

The report states that the disorders have been surpressed.

Bumped Up Against the Real Thing. “I think I have bumped up against the real thing in Chamberlain’s Tab- lets,” writes D. R. Thomas, of Ti- dioute, Pa. “They do the work and cause no unpleasant reaction.” In cases of constipation when pills and saline cathartics are used, their use(. is often followed by constipation, as they take so much water out of the system. On the other hand the ef- fect of Chamberlain’s Tablets is so agreeable and so natural that you do not realize that it has been pro- duced in & medicine, and no reaction follows their use.

Reports from Basle declare that extremely heavy cannon fire could be heard in Switzerland. It was evident that the heaviest guns of both the Germans and French were in action. Firing continued day and night. The fighting was preceded by one of the most remarkable flights yet credited to the French aviation corps. Leaving the French lines an avia- tor flew over Muelhausen and the sur- roundjng country. Circling back and forth over the German lines he lucated the artillery of the enemy. The French gunners were given the range and immediately afterwards a deadly fire was opened on the Ger- mans. ‘With the guns of the allled fleet along the Belgian coast again unlim- bered and hammering at the German pogition fighting along the _entire front has taken on renewed vigor. At the French center the allles have been able to strengthen their positions despite flerce counter at- tacks, and at some points have been able again to take the offensive.
