f war department orders for all offi

their commands on the Mexicrfn border
and Veracruz at once, and the renewal
of army activities at the border forts
ard along the entire border indicates
a stiffening of the state department's
attit ide toward Mexico.
The muddle resulting from the se- )
lecuon oi r.uiano ouuerrez as pro
visional president, the determination
of Carranza to remain in control of
affairs, coupled with the deadlock re
sulting from the Veracruz situation and
also the firing across the line on the
river front near 1 Paso by Mexican
troops at United States soldiers man
euvering, is believed to be the reasons
for this apparent change in the policy
Soldier "Widely Scattered.
According to figures compiled by the
war department, soldiers are scattered
on the Texas and the Mexican border,
and in Veracruz, Alaska, Panama, China
and the Philippines, as follows:
Trxas and Mexican border, 22,600;
"VcraTuz, 3800; Alaska, BOO; Hawaii,

Gen. Bliss, commander of the south
ern department, passed through 1
Paso "Wednesday afternoon en route
to Naco, where he will make observa
tions of the situation for the war de-
partment. He was accompanied by
Brig Gen. Francis Moore, retired, and
reached Naco Thursday morning. Op
posite Naco. Ariz., the Hill and May
torena factions are preparing to re
sume fighting near the international
line. When these two forces were
fighting recently, bullets fell on the
American side despite the protests of
federal and state officers and a number
of jLmerican citizens and soldiers struck
by Mexican bullets. George Dixon, a
Ninth cavalry trooper was killed by
one of the bullets.
The order of the war department for
all men to return to their commands
was issued with a statement it was
tlrne in view of "possible eventualities."
These orders have not yet been re
c ived at Fort Bliss, the commanding
officers say. although it was published
in the Army and Navy Journal recently.
Bryan and Carranza Deadlocked.
Mexico and the I'mted Stnlon arA nnw
deadlocked regarding the evacuation,
l American troops, of the port of
era Ciuz.
This Is shown by the official corre
spondence between this government and
"d.r,anza relative to the terms of
evaluation, which has been made pub
li in Mexico City. Copies of the cor
respondence have been received here.
The facts in the case were sent by
Carranza to the Aguascalientes confer
ence Demands of the United States
rel.it.ve to the evacuation of the Mex
ican port Include the granting of guar
antees to all Mexican refugees who
are served the American government
t)3 a guarantee that taxes end im
ports collected by the American gov
ernment shall not be recollected.
Approved Iij Peace Conference.
These demands were generally ap
proved by the Aguascalientes confer
ence which recommended that the mat
ter be given publicity. Carransa then
informed the conference that it would
he satisfactory to the administration
to concede toe points asked by the
T mted States but that, to do so in the
1'srnt of accepting them as specific de
mands, would detract from the national
sc vereignty and form a dengerous in
ternational i ecedent.
The matter now stands in this po
sition and, as the conference is prac
tically out of existence. It is probable
hat no action will be taken on the
much mooted question by any power in
Mexico other than Carranza.
The first of the series of telegrams
from the American government was
sent by secretary Bryan on Septem

mains a mystery.
On this mystery Is based the Brit
ish hope that one or more of their

patch from Sanltngo todnj disposes
of an earlier report that the Brit

port Otranto had been bottled up
In Chilean waters by the German
cruisers Lrlpslg nnd Bremen. The
whereabouts , of the two latter
cruisers also 1 in doubt. Of the
nine vessels that figured In the
natal battle, only the German war
ship Scharnborst, Gnelsennu and
lumbers have been definitely ac
counted for.
After coming Into A nlpnralto,
these sailed. Nor was there any
word today of the British battle
ship Canopus, which the admiralty
says had been sent to strengthen

is reduced to 23
Democrats Apparently Hold
Senate by Majority of
About 14.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 5.
Secretary of the navy Daniels
today found ground for Demo
crtic optimism in the election returns.
"To have held its own In the senate
and to have been able to organize the
house by the slenderest majority un
der prevailing conditions shows tha
confidence of the people in the Wilson
policies," 3aid he. "No party before
has revised the tariff and shown such
a victory in an off year. But for the
demoralization of business, caused by
the war In Europe, c.nditions would

given the Republicans no opportunity
to come deck, xne party in power must
take the blame for all financial and in
Mtrtal'tllstliWsfinces oeeasftned by the
temporary troubles caused by the
frightful foreign war. rut this will
pass."
Majority 23 to 23.
With four congressional districts un
certain, the election results show
thai the Democrats elected to the
house 228; Republicans, 191; Progres
sives, 7; Socialists, 1; independent, 1.
This would give the Democrats a ma
jority in the lower house of 25. Repub
licans claim the election of James J.
Britt over J. M. Gudger in the Tenth
of North Carolina; N. M. McLean, Re-PJblican-Progressire,
in the Third Col
orado district, and C. B. Timberlake in
tbe Second Colorado. The Democrats
claim the election of G. T. Helvering in
me .rum nansas. in tnat event thero
would be a Democratic majority of 23.
Senate Alignment.
In the senate late returns left some
what in doubt the elections in Colora
do, Wisconsin and Nevada. The elec
tion of Edward Johnson, Democrat,
over Thomas H. Burke, Republican,
was a gain for the Democrats, which
offset ti.e defeat of Roger C. Sullivan,
Dinocrat. in -limes, bv senat.ii Lau
rence Y. Sherman.
Latest reports from Nevada showed
Francis, G. Newlands. Democrat, lead
ing Samuel Piatt, Republican, by a lit
tle more than 200, with about two
thirds of the precincts heard from.
Democrats claim the election of sena
tor Chas. F. Thomas over Hubert Work,
Republican, in Colorado, and the elec
tion of senator Newlands. The Repub
licans claimed the election of Francis
E. McGovern and Paul Hustlng in Wis
consin.
This would make the next senate 55
Democrats, 40 Republicans and one
Independent, giving the Democrats a
majority of 14.
Cummins' Lend Increased.
Senator Cummins's lead over Maurice
Connolly for the senatorship was in
creased today and his plurality was es
timated at near 40,000. Precincts re
porting gave him 160,125 and Connolly
128.705, an actual lead of 31,420.

Are Doing
The "Christmas Skip"
(Elizabeth William for The El Paso Herald.)
O Chriiimas Ship, if you carried peace!
You cany love, .me know.
And a prayer in every littlest gift
For the gift none may bestow
But the cannon have torn the Christmas trees.
And the holly leaves are red.
And those who look do not give again
The love and the life that are sped.
There's no roof over the children's heads,
And for them no "good night" kiss.
And there's no eternity long enough '
To answer to Cod for this;
And We wonder, children over the sea,
What the Angel of Life can do, '
When a king who is only ing of death ,
Shall answer himself for you. ,
O Christmas Ship, we christen you
In only lenderesl tears.
And we hear an anthem far off ring
Over the wreck of years;
But like the children wondering t
We wait, to old faiths true
For the Angel of Peace from the throne of Cod
Is the Gift we would send with you.

GERMAN CRUISER YORCK
HITS MINE AND SINKS
London, Eng.. Nov. 5. An Amsterdam
dispatch to Reuter's Telegram com
pany Wednesday night stated that the
German cruiser Yorck had struck a
mine and sunk in Jade bay, an Inlet of
me pionn sea. on the German coast,
west of the mouth of the river Weser.
An official dispatch from Berlin said
that the Yorck on the forenoon of No
vember 4 struck a mine chain blocking
the entrance to Jade bay and sank.
Later reports declare that 3S2 men,
more than half the crew, had already
been saved, but that the rescue work
was hampered by a thick fog.

403 feet long and had a complement of
5o7 men. She was built In 1904 and dis
placed 9050 tons.

Belfast, Ireland. Nov. 5. The winter

Mystery has attended the last trip
of the Olympic from New York to Bel

the circumstances which made this
measure necessary.
The Olympic left New York October

The defensive alliance of England and

England Feels Confidence.
Although England continued today
to await with some uneasiness official
news as to the fate of certain of her
warships, in the Pacific, which were
engaged last Sunday with a German
fleet off the coast of Chile, this anx
iety has been in a measure counterbal
anced by the apparently favorable sit
uation of the allied arms both in the
eastern and western arenas.
The first German rush for the French
coast having been checked, the news of
the next few days will determine the
truth or falsity of predictions as to the
seriousness o fthe renewed German at
tempts to get to the coast by a more
southerly route. There was nothing in
the reports from West Flanders during
the forenoon to indicate the trend of
the new German attack, although
Ypres continued to figure as the mili
tary key against which the German
proposed to deliver their hardest blows.
3Iny be Real Retreat.
Opinion here is divided as "to wheth
er this fresh attempt to open a way to
the channel will rival in intensity the
struggle along the Yser. Some British
optimists here hold that the apparent
exhaustion of the Germans is an indi
cation that they are really planning to
fall back, as they did before Paris, on
tho entrenchments they have sn
carefully preparing everywhere back
of their lines. If this occurs it will
mean another period of siege warfare
along the entire front in Belgium and
France, a condition which probably
will persist until one side r the other
starts off at a new tangent, as did the
Germans in their coastal attempt, thus
creating some new acute ares, of hos
