Washington, Oct. 23.—General Car- ranza through his representative here, Eliseo Arredondo, addressed a note today to the United States and the other American republics which have recognized his government, expressing his appreciation of their action and announcing that diplomatic represen- tatives soon would be accredited to the various countries. Genera]l Car- ranza declared it was the purpose of his government to establish cordial re- lations with all countries. State department officials today ad- mitted hearing a Tumor from Juarez, attributed to Villa officials, that Felix Diaz and forty thousand Zapata troops were menacing Mexico City. It was said at the department that no such number of Zapata troops had ever been reported before as in the fleld, and it was not credited. The Carranza agency received a telegram ifrom one of its agents in New York saying he had seen Felix Diaz in New York three days ago. Messages also ‘were received from Mexico City by the Carranza agency, stating that the Zapata forces had distintegrated inte small bands; that many of them had asked General Gonzales for amnesty end that appeals have been received from the people of Morelos for more troops to combat the small guerilla bands, as the Zapata troops had aban- doned all pretense of organization. Bearing officlal notification of the recognition by the TUnited States and the Latin-American repub- lics of the government in Mexico represented by Geéneral Venusti- ano Carranza, Eliseo Arrendon- do, confidential agent here of Carranza, left today for Saltillo, Mex., to met his chief. He will personally convey to General Carranza notes of recognition from Secretary of State Lansing and the diplomatic represen- tatives here of the Latin-American republics. Mr. Arrendondo also will make a detailed report on the results of his negotiations with Secretary Lansing and the latin-American diplomats re- garding Mexican affairs generally. Mexican bandit raids along the bor- der will be one of the subjects taken up by Mr. Arrendondo with his chief, it was said. That the Carranza authorities have nothing to do with these raids, how- ever, and are anxious to stop them is the contention of administration offi- cials. They believe the influences on the American side of the border is largely responsible for a conspiracy to cause trouble. FRENCH WOMAN EXECUTED. Madame Louise Frenay Shot at Liege By Germans. Amsterdam, Oct. 23, via London.— The Telegraaf publishes an article from its Antwerp correspondent un- der the title “The paternal adminis- tration of Belgium,” in the course of which it is said that some weeks ago a French woman, Madame Louise Frenay was executed at Liege. The correspondent says that the aim of the German firing squad was not accurate, and that, as in the case of Miss Edith Cavell under similar circumstances, the commanding offi- cer of the firing squad was obliged to put Madame Frenay to death by shooting her through the head with his revolver. BERLIN HONORS EMPRESS. Anniversary of Her Birthday. ; Berlin, Oct. , by Wireless to ‘ville, N. Y.—The streets of Berlir were decorated gaily and flags were . displayed on the public buildings and private houses in honor of the birth- day yesterday of the empress. All the daughters and grandchildren of the empress visited her at’ Potsdam. In response to the wish of the em- press, the nation’s birthday gift took ithe form of marmalade to be sent to the soldiers at the front. In Berlin ‘there were eighty offices for the col- lection of marmalade. They were | crowded all day by women and chil- dren who brought pails, bottles ahd pots filled with the condiment. !ana Stanley Streets Decorated Gaily to Celebrate | GREEGE’S VIEWPOINT IN EUROPEAN WAR Claims Teutonic Attack on Serbia OF ARMED INTERVENTION Note Says That “It Must Not Be For- gotten That Greece Is An Indipen- dent Nation That Disposes of Its Fate in Full Sovereignty, Paris, Oct. 23, 9:50 a. m.—The Athens correspondent of the Havas Agency sends this despatch under Fri- days date, relative to the attitude of Greece concerning the war: “All the evening papers publish an identical note, said to be an exact rep- resentation of the government's view- point in the situation. The note ex- presses surprise at the intervention of the powers in the relations between Greece and Serbia, the faculty of in- terpretation of the treaty of alliance of those countries belonging exclusive- ly to the contracting parties, the ac- cord having been freely concluded without the intervention or guarantee of a third party. Greece Independent Nation. “‘It must not be forgotten,’ says the note, ‘that Greece is an indepen- dent nation that disposes of its fate in full sovereignty.' " The note goes on to say that the Austro-German attack on Serbia re- leases Greece at least from the obli- gation of armed intervention, and that independent of that attack it is ma- terially impossible for Serbia to give Greece the support of 150,000 men, stipulated in the treaty in case of war with Bulgaria, and that the entente powers have not furnished a contin- gent equivalent. The note adds that the specialists best qualified consider that the Balkan expedition would re- quire at least 400,000 men, and that under these conditions Greece would ruin herself without even the consola- tion of saving Serbia. Allowing Passage of Troops. ‘“‘On the other hand,’ says the note, Greece offers all the service she can render in allowing the free passage over its territory of*®he allied troops going to the Serbian front, and in maintaining her own army on a war footing.’ “The note expresses the gratitude of Greece for the offers made, though not yet concrete, and thanks England for the entente offer of Cyprus. It recalls the Greek sympathies for the entente and the benevolence of the neutrality maintained thus far. It ends by saying that Greece does not forget that a state, no matter how small, has the absolute right to regu- late itself its own fortunes.” Will Remain Neutral, Athens, Oct. , via Paris, Oct. 23, 4:05 a, m.—The foreign office denies both the reported Greco-Bulgarian un- derstanding and the existence of pour- parlers for such an understanding. The Nea Hellas, an opposition organ, notwithstanding this denial, insists that negotiations are proceeding. In discussing Great Britain's offer to “cede the Island of Cyprus to Greece, the newspaper Patris, a supporter of the Venizelos party, says the refusal of Premier Zaimis is not of a definite nature, and expresses the belief that the powers of the quadruple entente again will approach the Greek govern- ment. The Nea Hellas says that it is evident that the Greek government will not accept and has decided to re- man absolutely neutral. 3 ROOF BURNED OFF JUBILEE ST. HOUSE Owned By Joseph Volck—Department Called Out Three Times in 22 Three Hours, Three times within three hours the fire department was called out today. The first fire, the alarm for which was-sounded at 10:50 a. m., proved the most serious of the three. Sparks from the chimney set firé to the roof of the dwelling house at 38 Jubilee street owned by Joseph Volek. Before the blaze had been ex- tinguished the roof had been burned off and the attic was also gutted. Considerable water was used and the first and second floor tenants were soaked out. The entire damage is estimated at $800. At 1:16 o’clock this afternoon the fire department was again called out, this tinfe to the corner of Chestnut streets where a shed owned by W. P. Steele was on fire. Sparks from a nearby bon-fire ignited the shingles, There was little dam- The last call came in at 1:30 o’clock when the dump on Putnam street, smouldering for weeks, was fanned into a brisk blaze by the wind. A stream of water was turned on sub- duing the blaze. $20,000 TO HOSPITAL, Hartford, Oct. 3.—Carrying the wishes of her late husband ex- pressed in a memorandum left with his will, probated i New York, Mrs. James J.

Dr. Davis made many warm friends during his stay in New Britain while pastor of the South church and his visit to the to meet many of them old ac- quaintances. ‘While noting a number of changes in the appearance of the city, to him it is still the same old place and it rleased him greatly to note familiar sights.

Following the services in the South church tomorrow 1aorning, Dr. Davis will leave at once for New Haven. The subject of his sermon at Woolsey Hall tomorrow will be “The Gospel of Christ in a Time of War.” + Speaking of his work in the Chicago Theological Seminary, Dr. Davis says it has recently been consolidated with the University of Chicago and is now quartered in one of the university buildings. B GERMAN GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL FOOD ISSUE Will Make New Orders Re- garding Price and Supply of Victuals in Empire. and renew Berlin, Oct. 23, by wireless to Say- ville, N. Y.—The German government today decided to assume control of the price and supply for victuals throughout Germany. Up to the present time the state provincial authorities had been considered com- petent to handle the food situation. The German government now con- siders it necessary, the Overseas News Agency says, to equalize the position of the various sections of the empire as to the distribution and the price of victuals, which are abundant but under different conditions in the var- jous states and provinces of Germany. New regulations will be made in order to avoid differences and to dis- tribute food in an equal manner throughtout Germany thereby assur- ing for the coming months full sup- plies at reasona#le prices in all dis- tricts. Conferences are being held by the government authorities and it s ex- pected that the decisions regarding the measures to be taken will be an- nounced in the near future. federal GRAND DUCHY MINISTERS QUIT.

Three Parts to Program. There were three parts to the pro- gram of ghat of the councll, the af- ternoon given over to recreation, and the dinner of the laymen in Memorial hall at Yale tonight. The Yale foot- ball association provided two thou- sand tickets for delegates who desir- ed to see the Washington and Jeffer- son-Yale game, while Boy were guides and citizens offered thcir automobiles to those who went sigh- seeing. Scores of clergymen left town to fill pulpit engagements tomorrow. The church program for tomorrow promised another “every one at | church” Sunday, as thirty-nine pul- | pits are to be filled by visiting pastors, the Rev. C. F. Aked occupying that of Rev. Dr. W. L. Phillips, retiring pres- ident of the Home Missionary society. Communion Service, Early tomorrow a communion ser- vice will be held in Center church, with Rev. J. K. Green of Constanti- nople and Rev, T. O. Douglas of Grin- nell, Towa, officiating. This service will be earlier than church service else- where and it is thought it will be the most impressive service ever held by the Congregational denomination hereabouts. The preacher at the council service in the afternoon will be Rev. O. S. Davis of Chicago. An impressive moment came last evening during the general meeting in Woolsey hall at which Rev. C. F. | Aked of San Francisco spoke on “An| International Conscience,” and Rev. George A. Gordon of Boston on "0ur| Conflict and Our Resources.” Mr. Aked | had made a plea for an international | court to settle disputes which could | not be solved by diplomacy and he had declared that the lack of an Interna- tional conscience was due to callou ness to the slaughter of men in Eu-| rope; to the superstition of a patriot- ism which is summed up in the belief that one’s country can do no wrong: and to a slavery which comes from militarism, when Dr. Gordon who fol- lowed him said: “I have five nephews at the front and thirty-five cousins, and not a man of them has in the phil- osophy of his sacrifice the idea in the noble but inadequate presentation of my illustrious predecessor.” He con- tinued., There are things which can be conserced only by dying for them -—that is the central thought of the religion of Jesus Christ.” Dr. Gordon then made his address.
