Washington, Oct. 30. Support of
the national guardsmen of the country
for the administration's
including the formation
tal army, was virtually
at the conclusion of a
ference between Secretary Garrison
and members of the executive com
mittee of the national guard associa
tion and the national militia board.
Some opposition to the continental
army scheme developed yesterday
when the conference oegan, but Sec
retary Garrison was successful in con
vincing the guardsmen of the wisdom
of the plan and also that no steps
would be spared to promote the in
terests of the national guard because
of the new plan.
General Foster of the Florida Na
tional Guard, chairman of the execu
tive committee issued a statement
saying that, while the national guard
officers felt they could not, in their
representative capacity, give expres
sion with regard to all of the pro
posals embraced in the plan until it
had been fully considered by the orga
nization which they represent, indi
vidual expressions indicate that the
sentiment of the national guard would
bo favorable to the Secretary of War's
i commendations.

fined their energies for some months
to obtaining news by espionage and
sending it to France by way of Hol
land, they became bolder in Septem
ber, planning to dynamite railways
and buildings, besides assisting per
sons of military age to escape from
Belgium to France. Among those ar
rested are four women, the principal
charge against them being that they
were endangering the safety of the
German army.
"The espionage system reported to
have been discovered in France is al
leged to have been managed by the
wife of a French officer. It is charged
that she received her instructions di
rect from the French military au
thorities. Two other women are also
under arrest, anil, according to Ber
lin, the extent to which the system of
espionage is organized is indicated by
the fact that the arrested persons fig
ure prominently in the French secret
service list."
The guilt of the accused, it is stated,
already has been established.
Nine persons, the message adds,
were tried for espionn-ge in Belgium
on October 26. All were found guilty
and were sentenced to death. The
sentence wa,s executed yesterday. Ten
others, including three women, were
sentenced to penal servitude.

The movement of the American
troops from the camp, two miles east
of Douglas, to points along the border
began this afternoon.
The American trenches begin at a
point a few feet west of the United
States custom house and within less
than 20 yards of the Carranza trenches
at the rear of Agrua Prieta.
Mexicans working in these trenches
dropped their picks and shovels and
joined the throngs of gesticulating
Mexican men, women and children,
watching' the work of the American
troops.
Twenty-two Americans from El

for whose safety fears were expressed,
crossed the border today at Naco,

Washington, Oct. 30. Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin ha transmitted to
the State Department a report from
the German foreign office which states
that no Belgians have been condemn
ed to death recently at Liege. The
Ambassador's inquiry was made at the
instance of the Belgian Minister here,
and he was instructed to use his good
offices in behalf of about thirty Bel
gians, reported to be under sentence
of death at Liege. The executions re
ported tonight in advices from Am
sterdam, it was believed, had no con
nection with the report as to the
thirty sentences imposed at Liege.
FKKAK XAMI.S FOR PFOPLK.
Wants Recognition,
Washington, Oct. 30. General Car
ra.nza nas maae it clear tnrougn tne
foreign office of his government that
he oes not desire to deal with Euro
pean governments through the United
States and State Department officials
are in iVcord with his course.
EuroDM.n powers which have not
yet recognized the defacto govern
ment have been transmitting repre
sentations through American officials
in Mexico. General Carranza now de
sires that foreign governments deal
directly with him in the future.
This policy is expected to hasten
recognition of the Carranza govern
ment by the European powers.
Thomas B. Hohler, British Charge
d Affaires in Mexico, now in the
United States, will start soon for
Mexico to extend the recognition of
Great Britain. Austria already has
recognized Carranza and there have
been indications that Russia, France
and Japan will follow suit.
General Carranza's action is not un
derstood here to apply to matters of
vital consequence in which the United
States, as the nearest neighbor and
friend to Mexico, would continue to
exercise its good offices.

today of conditions in Mexico reveals
that Americans in Sonora are not in
as great danger as had been reported,
assurances ho.ving come from Villa
officials that there will be ample pro
tection for them.
U. S. WILL NOT PRESS
BOMB PLOTTERS' CASE
Almost coincident with the report
that the Russians are semling trans
ports with troops through the Black
sea for the purpose of making a land
ing on the Bulgarian eoa?t, comes tlie
tmoftieial statement that a naval en-
gagement between l iitkisii ana ru-
sian warships has taken place in these
waters.
A message received in Berlin from
rsiicharost renorts that the Xurkisn
wamhips Midulhi, Saltan Selim (form-
prlv tlio fiorman cruisers Breslau and
Goeben) and Hamidieh attacked a
Russian squadron of three battleships
and several cruisers and destroyers in
the Black sea.
No further details are given.
It is possible that the Russian
sanadron was actimr as a convoy for
the transports and that the Turks in
tercepted the Russian vessels.
The concentration of entente troops
with the object of relieving the pres
sure being exerted on the Serbians by
the Teutonic and Bulgarian forces
from, three sides is proceeding, ac
cording to a news dispatch from
Saloniki. Additional transports are
expected to reach Saloniki soon.
The Bulgarians are said to be pre
paring snecial trains to transport ter-
man troops over the Bulgarian rail-
way to Constantinople through
Thrace. Already war munitions have
been despatched to the Turkish capi
tal.
