The statement la calculated to dls eipate the expressions of tear of a break earlier in the day when It was learned here that Cananxa Had order ed Villa to command of the army at the isthmus of Tebauntepec. This was regarded as a more on Car— ranza's part to minimise the possibil ity of a Villa revolt by removing the general from the seat of his popular ity in the north and sending him to dbacurity in southern Mexico where his influence would be greatly reduced* 1 The junta declared the statement is the first authentic summary of con ditions since the constitutionalists took charge of the government. It brands as false the report of outrages and incipient revolutions published from time to time throughout the United States. It is flatly denied that the port of Vera Cruz has been closed to commerce. "The stability of the new govern-j ment is fully guaranteed," Carranza. stated, "by the support of an army of 120,000 men, splendidly equipped and animated with the unselfish spirit patriotism.

The Ger mane have been compelled to aban, don all of their efforts to neslege this city. The opening of the dykea and the flooding of the lowlands was a complete surprise to the Germans. They fled, abandoning their artillery, which waa completely mired. At many points the gunners slashed the traces of their horses and used them to es cape, leaving guns, ammunition wag ona and transport of all sorts behind In the water. Many Germans were drowned, s° fast was the on rush ®f the water. The dyke gates have now been closed and the German guns wilt be recovered by the Belgians. There has been serious fighting in the vicin ity of Grembergen and Termund, At the latter place the Germane were de feated with very heavy losses.

Within a few minutes more the corporal's compan ions fell, mortally weunded. Then the boy picked them up and displaying almost superhuman strength carried them to safety.

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.—The first story of the real reason. for the evac uation of the rich manufacturing city of Lille, France, by French forces for which a French general was diegrac ed, reached this city tonight. An 18 year old Brooklyn boy who was there when the French retreated, declared that the Lille defenses had been rob bed of their modern guns which were sent to Belgium and later captured by the Germans. As only obsolete guns were left, the French did not try to hold the town. The boy is Harold Sykes, who arriv ed here on the steamer France. His father has a factory in L4Ue and he was there when the war began. "Tbe French retreated from Lille on August 25," said Sykes. "At that time the Germans had occupied all of the country to the north. The French soldiers told me that they had taken the modern guns with them when they went north to fight and that they had [all been captured. As the old guns were no good, the fortifications were and the troops evacuated the town. A Tarty of only eighty Uhlans took the city on August 27. After the Germans came I purchased a horse and cart for 140 to take me to Paris but I was able only to go to Lens. There I was told there were no trains and the entire country side was filled with soldiers who were re treating after having been badly de feated. All were short of food. One of the French officers grabbed me and threatened to have me shot as a spy but I managed to convince him that 1 was an American. But be wanted me to join the army. I did not, but I walked twenty-five miles with them. They told me that the German guns had a range of one-third longer than the French and that the Germans greatly outnumbered them. There were a few English among them, high landers, whose regiment had been badly cut up. We were retreating very fast, doing as good as five miles hour. "I walked a good bit of the way to Paris but part of the time I was able to get a bicycle which enabled nre to make speed. At that took me 'three days to jet to Paris, although the Journey by train takes only four hours.'' No More 8ecret Diplomacy. Des Moines Capital: The countries now at war have been In the habit of making fun of what they call "shirt sleeve diplomacy," having reference to the diplomacy of the United States. Now the "London Daily News" in quires "Can Europe ever again toler ate the appalling peril of secret diplo macy?" and the same paper concludes that "the example of the United States must hereafter become the model of the civilized world." All men agree that publicity Is a great remedy tor political evils. The wars raging in Buroye are the direct result of hidden and unpublish ed diplomacy. Some of the countries at war have been foblicly advocating peace. They have never told the pub lic their real purposes. Nothing ought to transpire In re lation to any government that win not stand the light of publicity.
