WASHINGTON. Nov. 16 While the
forces of destruction are being mobil
ized In ever-Increasing- strength In the
warring: countries of Europe, construc
tion agencies, public and private, are
at work on this side of the Atlantic
and resources of peace are being con
centrated to overcome the effects of the
world war.
All Information reaching Govern
mental departments here indicates that
the gloom and depression which over
took business enterprises in the United
(States when the war storm burst are
fclowly drawing aside, and glimpses of
present and coming prosperity are vis
ible. The hopeful outlook for American
entures was summarized today by Sec
retary Redfleld in a letter to the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United States
In which he declares:
Condition "Relatively Bright.''
"Let the worst be said and admitted
that can be said respecting existing
business difficulties iu America, our
condition still remains not only rela
tively bright, but rapidly improving,
and In many respects both prosperous
and promising." s

commerce is showing steady improve
ment according to the daily tele

WINE EXPLOSION KILLS 7
Device Is Discharged While Being
Examined on Dutch Shore.
LONDON. Nov. 16. A mine washed
ashore near West Capelle. Holland, ex
plowed today while being examined,
killing three naval officers, one civ
Uian and three sailors. This informa
tion was contained in an announce
ment made by the Dutch Ministry of
Marine and Cables from Amsterdam to
the Keuter Telegram Company.
Several mines had been taken to
pieces successfully before the accident
occurred. Between 30 and 40 mines
were seen in the Scheldt near Flush
'the Dutch officials say. by torpedo-
boats and others were washed ashore.
llcity regarding the achievements of
other regiments which had accelerated
their recruiting greatly. Mr. Asquith
said be would be glad if any system
could be adopted b which gallantry
of officers and men of all regiments
should be promptly communicated to
the public.
With regard to the suggestion that
skilled war correspondents be permit
ted at the front, be pointed out that
the government was not a free agent
fn the matter.
Allies Have Decisive Vote.
We must regulate our proceedings."
he said, "by the proceedings of our
allies, who do the chief share of the
fighting in the long lines at the front
in their own country and who, there
fore, rightly have the decisive vote as
to what should be done in the way of
appointment of war correspondents."
He declared that he had been gov
erned in the matter Etrlctly by the
requirements of military exigencies and
he knew the commander-in-chief of
the French forces desired that both
countries should get the full advantage
that could be obtained by giving pub
licity to the military operations.
With reference to the allegations
that there had been much demoraliza
tion among the troops through drink
and other causes, he said a careful In
quiry had been made which showed that
far from 30 or 40 per cent o the men
were suffering from preventable dis
ease, as had been stated In some quar
ters. It would be nearer the truth to
say that there had been not more than
10, or the outside 15 per cent of the
men suffering from disease of any sort.
MILLION MEN ARE VOTED

iaid. that the money 'should be given
moso nations.
John Hodge, the labor member for
Lancashire, indorsed the proposal, with
xue suggestion:
"Later on we can collect It from
the German Emperor."
Walter Hume Lore, Unionist, said
the country was not likely to be faced
with tne stupendous problems of un
employment which might naturally
have been expetced, and he believed all
"the men needed would be. forthcoming
because the spirit of the country was
eo magnificent. He congratulated the
Kovernment, on behalf of the Opposi
tion on its "steadfast determination to
carry the war to a successful con
elusion."
Fuller Details Advisable.
Mr. Lone, Mr. Healv and Lord
Charles Beresford discussed the ques
tion oi puDiicity ana urged that the
country should be given fuller details
of the achievements of the troops In
mo neia.
William Henry Cowan, Liberal, pro
posed that Great Britain follow Rus
Kia's example and prohibit the sale o
liquor during the war. Mr. Healy de
manded great liberality In dealing
with the dependents of the soldiers,
He said:
"We are not going to have Crippled
warriors In the work houses again,
or their dependents thrown upon the
scrap heap.
Wishes of France Considered
"In hi3 closing speech. Premie
Asquith placed the burden of the
censorship on France and said it was
necessary to defer tc the wishes of
the country which was doing the
greater part of the lighting and where
nichting was being carried on.
Dealing with the matter of pay the
I'remier said:
"The insulficieucv of the oav of th
lower ranks of commissioned officers
long has been a reproach to thi
country, but has become scandalou
and an indecency when men are laying
uuw ii meir lives.
He announced that Earl Kitchener.
Secretary for War, had prepared a plan
for increased pay. He closed by de
claring that sickness among the troops
had not exceeded 10, possibly 15 per
cent, and that he believed no body of
men ever have been brought together
who had comported themselves better
than the present army.
Referring to the great stimulus to
recruiting for the London Scottish regi
ment which had resulted from the
prompt publicity given to the story of
Its gallant charge, and to similar pub-

CARRANZA WILL RESIGN
FOOD LISTS PREPARED
DR. WILEY TELLS WHAT TO SEND
TO WAR SUFFERERS.
Rations for Children, Convalescents
and Well Adnlts Given Articles
Vary From Cream to Beans.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley has prepared a list of select
ed foods for European war sufferers
as a suggestion to Americans who wish
to contribute supplies to the relief
cause. The list is suggested as the
most effective for shipping and 01s
tribution purposes.
It is divided into three classes -one
for infants and young children, one for
convalescents and another for well
adults. A package for infants and
young children should include 30
pounds of evaporated, unsweetened
milk, about two pounds of milk eugar,
five pounds of barley flour, five pounds
of Indian cornmeal, five pounds of oat
meal and two ounces of salt. This will
sustain from 200 to 250 infants or
young , children for one day.
For packages for convalescents the
following is recommended: Fifteen
pounds of evaporated milk, 15 pounds
of malted milk, one pound can of olive
or cottonseed oil, two pounds of canned
chicken, five pounds of brown rice,
seven pounds of whole wheat or white
flour, three pounds of sugar, two
pounds of tea and six ounces of salt.
It is estimated that this will sustain
from 100 to 150 convalescents for one
day.
A package for well adults should con
tain five pounds of canned baked
beans, eight pounds of dried lentils.
peas or beans; five pounds of canned
salmon, five pounds of oatmeal, five
pounds of cornmeal. 15 pounds of
whole-wheat or white flour, two pounds
of sugar and six ounces of salt. This
will furnish a sustaining ration for 50
adults for one day.
It is recommended that the supplies
be packed in 50-pound boxes, as it is
difficult for Red Cross nurses to handle
more weighty ones.
FUEL SHORT III BELGIUM
MIXING PERMITTED, BUT TRANS
PORTATION IS IMPOSSIBLE.
Reported Threat of Germans to Forbid
Relief Distribution Is Declared
Erreoneons,
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 16. The Ques
tion of a fuel supply in Belgium is be
coming a desperate one. The German
authorities have given permission to
the Belgians to work the coal mines,
but horses and machinery with which
to operate them are lacking. Permis
sion also has been granted to the poor
to cut wood, but transportation faelli
ties are so thoroughly disorganized
that it is almost impossible to distrlb
ute it.
The report that the Germans had
issued a proclamation threatening to
withdraw their permission for the dis
tribution of supplies by relief agencies
ir tne Belgians did not return to work
was baseless, although the military
authorities continue to urge that the
industrial life of the nation be re
sumed.
In their efforts to cut off communi
cation between Holland and .Belgium
tne oermans are taking strong ineas
ures to prevent automobiles from cross
ing the borders. Travelers still are
permitted, however, to cross by trains.
GLASGOW AT RIO JANEIRO
Damage Inflicted by German Fleet
Is Plainly Visible.
RIO JANEIRO', Nov. 16. The British
cruiser Glasgow, which was one of
the vessels engaged In the fight with
the German squadron off the coast of
Chile November 1, arrived here today.
The damage caused by the German
shell fire was plainly visible.
The British Admiralty's statement
on the sea fight off Chile said the
Glasgow was engaged, by both the
Leipzig and Dresden of the German
squadron, while the Gneisenau and
Scharnhorst were fighting the Good
Hope and the Monmouth. It added
however, that the Glasgow was not
extensively damaged and suffered few
casualties.

Gutierrez Proclaims Himself Pro
visional Presiflent and Washing
ton Hears Differences of Fac
tions Are Adjusted.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 16. En
rique C. Llorente, Bpecial representa
tive to Washington from the Aguas
Calientes convention, is authorized to
say that General Villa Is ready to com
ply with the terms General Carranza
imposed that he (Carranza) would re
tire If Villa would resign and leave
Mexico. A message received tonight
from Eagle Pass says: .
"General Villa will accept the condi
tion." Llorente is quoted as saying, "fn
good faith if Carranza is In earnest, and
that he is prepared to retire from com
mand of his troops at once and leave
Mexico.
Tour of United States Aim.
General Villa 'has long desired to
make a tour of the United States and
will take advantage of this opportunity
to make an extended trip through this
country."
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. Complete
settlement of all differences between
tne Mexican factions was indicated by
a dispatch today from American agents
at Aguas Calientes, saying Carranza
has notified Gutierrez he will resign
in his favor at once.
Secretary Bryan announced he had
received a telegram from American
Consular Agents Canova. who has been
with the Aguas Calientes convention,
saying "everything between the rival
Mexican factions had been satisfactori
ly arranged."
The message from Canova was
dated at Auguas Calientes at 7 P. M.
yesterday and gave no details of the
arrangement.
Villa's Exile Not Indicated.
Previous messages, however, to the
State Department told of conferences
between the various Generals and Car
ranza and Gutierrez at which the prin
cipal condition on which Carranza in
sisted was that Villa should be retired
from his command. He suggested that
Villa should also leave the country.
but there was nothing in today's dis
patches to Indicate whether that pro
posal was accepted, although Villa
himself had previously Informed the
convention of his willingness to re
sign his military command.
Secretary Bryan was much pleased
by Canova's message, believing that It
presaged an era of peace In Mexico.
Eulalio Gutierrez formally notified
the United States today of his assump
tion of power as Provisional Presi
dent of Mexico and guaranteed pro
tection for Americans and all other foreigners.
New President Is Announced.
Two communications from Gutierrez
were laid before President Wilson to
day. The formal notification of his as
sumption of office added that he soon
would set up his government in Mexico
City and seek to bring about peace.
The other, guaranteeing protection for
foreigners, made no request for recog
nition by the United States.
Gutierrez described in some dotal the
Aguas Calientes convention and how he
came to be chosen. He aslo asked for
the withdrawal of American forces
from Vera Cruz.
FOES WELCOME REPORT ALIKE
Opposing Generals at Xaco Say Res
ignation Would Mean Peace.
NACO, Ariz., Nov. 16. Reports from
Washington that General Carranza had
decided to turn over the governmental
affairs of Mexico to Euallo Guticrres
had practically the same effect today
upon the Maytorena and Hill factions
which had been carrying on desultory
warfare at Naco, Sonora, for several
weeks.
"Splendid news," said C. Ramlerez.
agent for Governor Jose Maytorena, on
the American side.
"It is just what we want and will
assure peace so far as we are con
cerned." "If true. It Is an augury of peace,"
said General Benjamin Hill, command
ing the Carranza garrison at Naco. Hill
added, however, he would not obey or
ders from Gutierrez until formally in
structed to do so by Carranza. In any
case, he said, the elimination of Villa
was necessary to permanent peace in
Mexico.
Although both Maytorena and Hill
expressed hope of peace through the
prospective resignation of Carranza,
sniping by soldiers of both camps con
tinued today. One of Hill's spies re
ported that Maytorena had 3500 men
and that his Taquis were moving closer
to the Carranza lines and digging
trenches.
