AMERICANS TAKE
VKIIA CKt 'A, No. -:. The Amer
ican forces of occupation under JJrig.
adicr General Frederick Funston, af
ter n stay in Vera Cruz of seven
months, began today embarking on
the tciimshis which will return them
to the United States.
The outposts began fulling back at
!) o'clock in tlie morning and two
hours Inter tho first American sol
diers wero going over the sides of the
waiting transports.
General Funston established his
headquarters on board the transport
Cristobal nml nil the organization- of
his command began nt daylipjit the
work of moving out their equipment
preparatory to final evacuation. Ev
erything progressed smoothly. Jle
yond tlie American outosts there
had been mobilized during the night
a forco of constitutionalists. As the
Americans withdrew, first from tho
outlying districts nud then from tho
city itself, the constitutionalists fol
lowed them along and nominally oc
cupied tho territory evneuntcd.
The city is quiet, but the inhabi
tants nro nervous ami apprehensive
concerning the final outcome of this
transfer of nuthority. All saloons in
Vera Cruz remained closed today on
orders of General Funston and many
commercial establishments decided
not to open their doors.
The government of Vera Cruz is
not being turned over to any faction
of Mexicans. The territory is being
evneuntcd nml as fast as tho Ameii
eans go out constitutionalists nro
coming in,
Tho American army officials arc
taking with them the nioncy,s collect
ed for customs and from other
sources of revenue. These ultimately
will go to soma Mexican government
which tho United States deems a
proper ono to receive them.
Tho American quartermaster de
partment has arranged to take away
from Vera Cruz somethiug like 300
Mexicans who did not care to ho in
the city when their countrymen again
came into Msseion.

BATTLE AT TWO

Efforts to Break Through Allies'
Lines at Ypres and Argonn Under
Way Germans Confident of Suc

Check Due to Reinforcements.
LONDON, Nov. 23. At two jmmiiIs
in the battle lino extending across
France and Dclgiuni tho Germans
were mnking determined efforts today
to break through ami nt tho same
time a critical struggle was under
way in Uussiiin Poland.
Today's French statement said that
at Ypres, Ilclgium, the pointf selected
for the new German attempt to force
n way through to tho English chan
nel, tho artillery fire yesterday was
violent and that many buildings were
set on fire.
In tlie region of the Argonne for
est, well on toward the eastern end
of the line, where tho Germans aro
centering another severe attack, tho
fighting yesterday was described us
"very hot," and it is said that tho
German onslaughts were repulsed.
Khcims mid Soissons also wero under
bombardment, with what effect was
not disclosed.
Severe l-'Jghtlnfj Admitted
The Gennnu official statement
sieuks of the severe fighting at
Yprc.i, nml also snys that n British
squadron's attempt to bombard Nicu
port was repulsed twice. ' "
In the Argonne region it is said
the Germans are gaining ground
slowly.
Tho renewed efforts of the Ger
mans iu the west, notwithstanding the
effects of tho cold, wet weather
which was said to make fighting in
the lowlands almost an impossibility,
attracted renewed attention to tho
western field of baltle. Tho Btrugglo
between tho Russians and AuHtrians
forces in the east, however, still was
rated as of greater immediate impor
tance because of the influence tho
outcome is expected to exert upon tho
whole future course of tho war. From
this quarter came no definito uew's
today. Derliu was confident of mi
early decisive victory, hut tho war
office there acknowledged today that
nrnvnl of Itussinn reinforcements
hud postponed the decision.
I'etroRTud Kllent
Doth sides continue to be reticent
concerning the progress of the great
battles in Poland, but Berlin is con
fident that General von llindeuburg
will justify his reputation as tho most
successful of thu German generals.
A military nuthoritv quoted by tho
Herlin Lokul Anzeiger declares that
the fall of Lemberg is only u ques
tion of time, because von Hiudenbtirg
is rolling up tho Hussiuu right, while
at tho sumo time tho Atistriaus are
attacking on the left,
Petrograd is silent ubout the strat
egy of the present campaign, which
does not seem to exeito any greater
concern in tho Itussinn capital than
did tho previous Gorman advnnce on
Warsaw. Herlin, on tho other hand,
seems to regard tho operations ok do-
