Contrary to the (lenmiti icport that
the Itussians had been cheeked on the
frontier of eait Pnissia, 1'etrogiad
declares that a brilliant success in
that legion has been succeeded by an
actual invasion of Herman territory.
An eiiiial triumph is repotted from
the other end of the long Russian
battle line. With Cossacks raiding
within twenty ftulcH of Cracow, the

dered the civilian population of the

fully invested again ami its rediie'iun
is likely to nreeode. any further ad

Contrary to practice, infantry and
not artillery has been the dominant
force used bv the Kussiuns along
their western battle front in pushing
the invaders hack across tin. border.
Showing disregard of the Oeiinan
batteries, superior foiees of Itussmi
infantry time after time have ad
nnced and won positions b, tic use
of cold hteel.

area of the war has been enlarged by
the participation in the struggle of
the Ottoman empire. In conjunction
with my nllies-nnd in spite of relat
ed and continuous provocations, I
strove to preserve in icgard to Tur
key a friendly neutrality. Had coun
cils and alien influence have driven
her into a policy of wanton and de
fiant aggression and a state of war
now exists between ns. My Musmil
mnn subjects know well that our
rupture with Turkey has been forced
upon mo against niv will and I recog
nize with appreciation and gratitude,
the proofs which they have hastened
to give of their loyal devotion and
support. My nnny and navy con
tinue through the area of conflict to
maintain in full measure their glor
ious traditions. We wnteh and fol
low their steadfastness and valor
with thankfulness and pride, and
there is throughout my empire a fix
ed determination to secure nt what
ever sacrifice the triumph of our
arms and vindication of our cause.
"Von will be asked to make due
financial provision for the effective
conduct of tho war, and the only
measures which will be submitted to
you nt this stage of the session are
such as seem necessary to my advis
ers for the attainment of tho great
purpose upon which tho efforts of tho

mend them to your patriotism and

Troops to Be Ordered From Mexican
Port, Leaving Mexican Factions to
Settle Their Own Disputes Car
ranza's Decree Grants Amnesty to
Mexicans Who Served Americans.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Amer
ican troops probably will ho ordered
out of Vera Cruz very soon, leaving
tho Mexican factions to scttlo their
own differences, as n result of tho
recent developments, which havo
brought the guarantees tho Wash
ington government demanded.
Copies of Carrnnza's decree wero
received today by tho state depart
ment. It grants amnesty to all Mex
icans who served the American gov
ernment, In reword for their patriot
ic spirit in rejecting tho protection
of the United States and trustjng to
the Justlco of the Mexican govern
ment. Nothing Is said nbout protec
tion for nuns and priests who took
rcfugo in Vera Cruz. Oral assurances
however, have been glvon that they
would not bo harmed and tho gensr
at opinion Is that tho Washington
government will not argue that ques
tion further.
The understanding among officials
Is that President Wilson is willing
to withdraw tho American forces,
especially In vlow of tho fact that a
conflict of Villa and Carrnnza troops
In that vicinity might rnlso further
embarrassing and dellcato questions
for the United States.
The American troops wilt bo with
drawn on the ground that tho Aguas
Calientes convention ordered Cnr
ranza to issue tho decree which ha
has now proclaimed and all factions
are agreed to support tho conditions
set forth by tho Unltod States as a
prerequisite to evacuation.
Tho Impression prevails in many
Quarters that tho United States will
await the determination of who Is
the executive of Mexico General
Carranza or General Gutierrez be
fore delivering tho customs funds col
lected since the occupation ot Vera
Cruz.
