LONDON'. Sept. 10. Addressing the House of Lords today. Karl Kitchener said that the Cabinet was "near a prac tical solution" of the question of keen ing up the supply of men and materials! at the front. This Was the only ref erence to what may be construed to mean a suggestion of conscription. The Germans appear almost to have shot their bolt," he continued. "Their advance in liussia, which at one time nveraeed five miles a day, now has diminished to less than a mile a day." Positions In Went Strengthened. Regarding military operations, the T"ar Secretary said further: "For the last few months the front held by the allies in the west has been practically unchanged. This does not mean that there has been relaxation of active work on the part of the forces In the field, for the continuous local lisrhtlnsr which has taken place al along the line has called for the dis play of incessant vigilance. As new armies have become trained and ready to take the lield. consider able reinforcements have been sent out to join Field Marshal French's com mand.

I am sure we all fully realize that the strength of the armies we send out must be fully maintained to the very end. To fulfill this purpose, we shall require a large addition to the num ber of recruits joining. The problem of how to secure an adequate supply of men and thus insure keeping the field force up to its full strength is en Kaging our close attention and will. I hope, soon receive a practical solution. "Although there has been a falling off in the number of recruits. I do not draw from this fact any conclusion un favorable to the resolution and spirit of the country. On the contrary, I think now. as I always have thought, that the manner in which all classes have responded to the call of patriotism is magnificent, and I do not for one in stant doubt that whatever services may prove necessary to bring this gigantic I'remiev Asquith, in the House of Commons, gave an exhaustive survey today of the financial situation.

The Premier had to d.i)l with huge figures to explain the financing of the war. and warned his hearers that although the expenditure was now more than 3.500.000 daily there was a likelihood of its Increas ing, owing to the advance to the allies and dominions, which had reached 250.000.000 ($1,230,000,000), and provi sion for munitions. Since the war began nearly 3.000,000 men, he said, had enlisted In the army and navy. Besides. SOO.OOO persons were now engaged in the manufacture of munitions. But figures would have to be increased, and he appealed to the women to give their assistance, be lieving that they would make a "gigantic stride towards the solution of one of their most pressing problems.'"

MORGAN AND LORD READING, SNAPPED ON SHIPBOARD ON JL IT- TEH'S ARRIVAL STAFF IS EXECUTED Villa Punishes 14 of Urbina's Aides With Death. STRATEGY SHOWS TREASON renalty Metetl Out Summarily, and American Says He Saw Men Taken From House Singly, Never to Tteturn Alive. EL. PASO. Sept. 15. Fourteen staff officers of general Urbina's force were executed with TJrblna as the result of the visit of General Villa to Urbina's ranch at Las Nievas last week, according to an American who arrived here to day and who said he had accompanied General Villa on the trip. "General Villa," said the American "at Jiminez put one of his own opera tors in charge of the telegraph lines which runs from Parral to the Las Nievas ranch. At Parral and Santa Barbara he put other operators. "A message was then sent Urbina as follows, supposedly from one of the operators loyal to Urbina: "'Villa and bodyguard passed through Bermejillo en route to Las Nievas to Interview you. How will you receive him?' Welcome With Ballets Promised. "Urbina replied that ho would wel come Villa with bullets. "Villa then ordered General Rudolfo Flerro to advance before him on the march to the ranch. The" party arrived early Friday and surrounded the ranch house, whereupon Urbina and his staff opened lire from the windows. "Villa arriving, ordered a charge on the house. As his men entered by the windows and doors. Urbina tried to throw down' on Fierro with his pisol, whereupon Fierro sent a bullet through Urbina's right arm and Urbina sur rendered and his staff followed suit. "Villa took charge of Urbina and reprimanded him for treason and toid him he would have to die. It had been Villa's plan to send Urbina to Chihua hua for execution as an example, but he turned him over to General Fierro. I rhlnn "Taken to Chihuahua." "Five minutes later Fierro returned and reported ho had 'taken Urbina to Chihuahua.' "Fourteen of Urbina's officers were caught in the ranch house. I did not see them executed, but every little while Fierro would take one of the of ficers from the house and return short ly with a small piere of rope with which the officer's hands had been tied. "In Parrall and Jiminez several of Urbina's officers were caught and exe cuted. I understood. "I cannot say whether Villa recov ered the Urbina loot. Villa talked long With Urbina. I believe he found out where Urbina's men had buried a good deal of it."

Joe Coligne, who was awaiting trial on the charge of attempted assault on a 5-year-old girl, and who assisted John Austin Hooper in his escape a "?w weeks ago, was sentenced by Judge New York. Theee financiers, who con stitute a formidable array of financial power, have not been invited to take part in the loan and were inclined to day to feel hurt. "In many cases." said a spokesman for this group, "the name of the firm is German and the officers all Ameri can, descendants of Germans, but born and reared in this country. These men are good Americans and they feel hurt that they are not permitted to share in councils of so vital interest. to their country. "They certainly will not beg to be taken in. but they would like at least the courtesy of being asked." XO LAWS VIOLATKI BY LOAX Administratioii Views Proposal as I'urely Private Transaction. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Secretary Lansing made it plain to inquirers to day that no violations of domestic or international law were involved in the pruposea noianon oy me antes of a large loan in this country. The Secretary explained that the at titude of the Washington government had long ago been announced; that its expression of disapproval of loans as "Inconsistent with the spirit of neu trality" has been occasioned by a di rect request for advice by American bankers concerning loans in general, and that the Administration voiced its opposition chiefly to loans by popular subscription or those which would take large sums of gold from the United States. So far as State Department officials are able to observe, however, the new loan is essentially what is known as a "credit loan" to pay for obligations incurred, or about to be incurred, for the purchase of supplies. Such a loan is viewed as a private commercial transaction not differing from the traffic in contraband or other war sup plies, over which a neutral government Is not obligated to exercise any con trol. Only In the event that the matter is directly brought to the attention 6f the Washington government for advice Is there likely to be any formal expres sion of opinion in the present instance. Reprisals on American Agents in Villa Territory Feared When An nouncement Is Made Re sentment Is Shown. WASHINGTON. Sept. 15. (Special.) President Wilson has decided to rec ognize General Venustiano Carranza as the executive head of the Mexican gov ernment and expects the arrangement to be comr-leted wlthlfl two months. This was learned today through a pub lic man in authority, who has had every opportunity to know the Presi dent's position. It is also learned that a majority of the Latin-American diplomats who will confer with Secretary Lansing in New York Saturday on the Mexican situa tion are persuaded that the President's course is the only satisfactory solution of the Mexican problem. It is expected, therefore, that the plan will be ap proved by the Pan-American confer epce and that stepB will immediately be taken to put it into effect. Consuls Permitted to Leave. Indications that Carranza is to be recognized were strengthened today by the announcement that the State De partment has advised all American Consular representatives in the .north ern part of Villa's territory that they may return to the United States at once and to advise American citizens resident in their districts to do like wise. Warning has been given that all Consuls, Consular Agents and private citizens who remain in Villa's territory do so at their own risk. The reason for this order Is generally understood to be the fear that Villa will be unable to restrain his troops when the announcement of Carranza's recognition is made, and that Amer icans will be attacked in reprisal for the action of their Government. Villa Territory Affected. The notifications have extended to Consuls in Torreon. Chihuahua. Her mosillo. Guaymas, Nosales and Juarez. all of which are in the territory con trolled by Villa, It is expected that before another week or two most of the Americans will have withdrawn, as latest telegrams to the department tonight Indicated a general exodus. At the Villa Washington agency news of the Department's action was re ceived with unconcealed surprise and resentment. Enrique C. Llorente. Villa's representative, announced that he had addressed a communication to the State Department expressing sur prise and inquiring as to the intention of the United States. Renewed depredations bv the Yaoul Indians were rumored in State Depart ment dispatches today. A marauding band was eaid to have crossed tha Yaqui River near Chunamlopaz, in vading the poverty of the Richardson Construction Company on September 12. No details had been received.
