Secretary for War Avers Germans
Seem Almost to Hove Shot Their
Bolt and Advance In Russia
Is Slowing Up.
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

to join Field Marshal French's com
mand. You will be glad to hear his
opinion of these troops, communicated
to me. He writes:
" 'The units appear to be thoroughly
well officered and commanded. The
equipment is in good order and efti

"'Several units of Rrtillery have been
tested behind the firing line In the
trenches and I hear good reports of
them. Their shooting has been ex

to take their place in the line.'

"Throughout tha Summer months the
French have held their own along their

places, notably near Arras and in
Alsace, have made substantial progress
In the struggles around Arras early iti
June they captured whole heights at

number of strongly fortified villages
around this high ground, thereby

anxious thought, which has been ac

by the recent falling off in the num

, every effort has been made to obtain
our requirements under the

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

magnificent, and I do not for one in

Mr. Asquith asked for another vote

which brings the total to 1.262,000,000
($6,310,000,000). 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

and dominions, which had reached
250.000.000 ($1,230,000,000), and provi

men, he said, had enlisted In the army

were now engaged in the manufacture

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."

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

and reared in this country. These men
are good Americans and they feel hurt
that they are not permitted to share

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.
