With President; - No Inter

. (United Preng I,piMd Wlrp. )
Washington, Nov. IS. Secretary of
State Bryan called at the White House
today and Informed President Wilson
that alarm over tbe Mexican situation
was needless. Bryan said he believed
the factions there would yet work out
a solution which would prov satis
factory .to both sides.
The president was told that a num
ber of prominent; Carranzistas were
trying to persuade General Carranza
to abandon the presidency.
After conferring with President Wil
son, Secretary Bryan said that discus
sion at this time of Mexican affairs
for publication would merely compli
cate matters. He made it plain, how
ever, that America is not contemplat
ing Intervention, and had not sent any
ultimatum to either faction.
Bryan declared that confidential re
ports received by the state department
indicated that the, Carranzista leaders
were slowly swinging toward the new
provisional president. General Gutier
rez The first break In . the Carranza
forces occurred in the state of San
Luis Potosi, the leaders there deciding
to uphold the Aguas Calientes peace
convention.
The governor of the state of Tain
aultpas, according; to official reports.
has repudiated the convention, but it
was not expected' that his influence
would be sufficient to put the state In
the Carranza column.

afternoon that the transfer of the

by Mrs. L. D. Rosseau, Instantly Wil
ing the woman and both her horses
and reducing the carriage to a pulp.
A panic among ranchers and Vlielr
families followed. Scores of cowboys
were requisitioned to round up th
birds. -The
ostriches were being driven
from an ostrich arm near Phoenix to
another location far in the country.
Twenty mounted vacqueros had
them in charge. None of the men
know what caused the great birds to
bolt. '
Mrs. JTosseau, who was the 'wife of
a wealthy pioneer rancher, was driv
ing toward Phoenix, and was directly
In. the path of the maddened birds
which ' bore down on her at great
speed. Her horses, terrified, bolted
and overturned the trap to which they
'were attached. The ostriches swept
over the wrecked vehicle, and the
horses, which were entangled In the
harness. When they had passed the
trampled body- of the woman was
found. The bodies of the horses were
battered and torn by the birds' feet.
A telephone message to Phoenix
brought many other mounted men to
the aid of the ostrich drivers. Mean
while, the birds had scattered . over
miles of country, "frightening dozens
of ranchers, who fled to their houses.
An hour after the stampede less
than half the birds had been recap
tured. Germans Construe

WAR SUMMARY
by j. w:t. MASON
Former London Correspondent
for the United Press.
New York, Nov. 13. Turkey's plan
of campaign in the Kuropeah war was
developing today in two directions,
but it was not yet possible to deter-
min whether its strategy was dora-
nated by Turkish or German influ-
nce.
If the Germans have their way.
radically all the sultan's forces will
be used against Russia in the hope of
compelling the czar to relax the pres
sure of his troops against the faeUser's
frontier. On the other hand, if the
Turks decide for themselves what to
do, Egyptian operations will become
of major Importance.
Certainly an occupation of Kgypt
would be far more delectable to the
sultan than - the seizure of territory
in the unfruitful trans-Caucasian
country.
Turks Hot of One Mind.
The Turks apparently are not con
centrating in very large "numbers
either in the hojy land, for an invasion
of Egypt, or in Armenia, to fight the
Russians. This suggests Indecision
at Constantinople, with differences of
opinion between the Turks and their
German advisers. Friction between
them Is likely to increase as the war
progresses, unless German gold can
be made to carry conviction among
the higher Ottoman authorities.
Unless the Germans succeed in com
pletely dominating the' .war office at
Constantinople, the possibility that
the Balkan states which still re
main neutral may be drawn into
the ' war, undoubtedly will be a
factor In determining the sul
tan's plans. From the Ottoman stand
point, a strong force of troops should
be. retained In European Turkey as a
precaution against the development
by Russia of an attack through the
Balkans, with Roumanian and Bul
garian assistance.
Germans Pear Balkan, War.
If these two Balkan nations do de
clare wareagainst the Turks, however,
Germany can expect no help from its
new ally, since'. the sultan will have
his hands full to resist the Rouman
ians and Bulgarians, and will be un
able' to develop an offensive against
Russia. Thus it is to Germany s in
terest to have the Balkan situation
left to chance, though to do so wjll
be dangerous for the Turks.
In short. German strategy demands
that the Ottoman troops devote all of
their attention to Russia, and the only
place where this is possible is in the
trans-Caucasus. It may be taken as a
foregone conclusion, accordingly, that
the kaiser will do his utmost to con
vince the sultari that he is in no dan
ger of- attack from' across his Euro
pean frontier.
Bulgaria Dislikes Busaia,
Fdrtune plays into Teutonic hands
in this respect because of Bulgaria's
attitude. Bulgaria is Turkey's Euro
pean border country, and the Bul
garians are filled with resentment
against their Balkan neighbors and
aealnst the Russians, blaming them
because Bulgaria's share of the spoils
of the recent war with the Turks was
not in proportion to the sacrifices
hlch it made.
The Germans can make effective use
of this argument in connection with
their representations to the ' sultan
that his European frontier is safe
Undoubtedly they are already doing
this. . .
Summing matters up, Germany must
risk whatever may happen in the
Balkans and .rush the Turkish BaU
kana- and rush the Turkish army
across Asia Minor as a bait for Rus
sia. Turkey's subsequent fate, if the
kaiser has his way, is a proposition
which must be subordinated to the
requirements of higher Teutonic
Strategy.

Paris Nov. 13. The German drive against UifcftsilliesMine in

Despite the fury of the Germans' offensive, the allies held
their own along a line in the form of an. obtuse anle, onewing

Ypres and the apex of the angle at Dixmude. r "
The young and but half trained German troopi who figured
in the earlier, fighting in this section were no ledger much in

Paris, Nov. 13. A distinct renewal of the a1 lies' offensive
along the River Aisne was evident today. ' ' j '
The vigorous repulse of a
French force which had recaptured Craonne andrSoupir, north-
east of Soissorfs, was also reported. $ , -
These French troops constituted a fresh bqi-y which .was
thrown into he Aisne region to take the places oj British forces
drawn to the northward to aid in resisting the' "kaiser's drive
toward Dunkirk and Calais. They were ambitious to excel their
predecessors and took the offensive with such tjifygy thatthcy
made material gains. ; ' fj "
