Villa. "Carrania control* only where his

get all our information from the poor peo-
iiIt- who see their hopes carried forward by
the 'Conventionalist' army, and who hate
Carranza and his reactionaries.
"1 do not understand how the l'su-Amet-
lean conferees can recognize Carrania. He
represents the same faction whl.lt KHz
and Huerta did, and until the Interests of
the poor people arc comidered In Mexican
government there will be 110 peace.
"Carranza represents much for the stock-
holders and the monopolies, but he repre-
sents nothing for the common people.

lble to c-tabllsh a stable government when

"Peace will cotue to Mexico only when
the poor people and their Interests are
recognized. The 'Conventionalists' repre

the same as Cientlflcos.
"Surprise also conies to me that the

recogniiing Cnirun/u and his forces, when

NO l'lIACr IN MKXICO
"Until you have an election by ell the
people there will be no jieace In Mexico.
Now. the nearest you can come to ttiat
Is my plan. It is as follows: Haw half

by 'Coiistltntloi ullst' or Carianclsts repre
tentative*; then select u l'resldent wlu:

"I'nder this joint government 1 am will-
ing to be eliminated. I am not ambitious
$o be President or to bold office at all.
i am fighting lor the freedom of the poor
pc.iule of .Mexico, not for mlself.
"I would not divide Mexico. That would
be against the Constitution, which guaran-
tees the unity of the nation as a whole.
1 mean t ne noverniuent in which half the
offleets be representatives of the 'Conven
tlonallst' faction which Is everywhere the
popular one In Mexico. and the other half
of the cffl 'ers be representatives of the
'Constitutionalist' faction. Then the pres.
Ident seie. ted would, of course, have to
lie absolutely neutral and picked carefully
by Joint conference or Carranza and Villa
leaders."
VILLA HAS 40,tl00 MEN
Colonel Darecclo Sllvu, uslstant chief of
staff, one of the thice remaining members
of the original band of eight who entered
the revolution with Villa, staled that now
would begin a campaign that would cause
constant surprises.
"We will enter Sonoru with 40,000 men,"
be said, "20,000 are now at Casus Urnndes.
We are well armed and equipped. The
army has been reorganized. It Is now
n clenn-eut fighting unit. Kvcry super
fluotts official of the government has been
cut off to fund the army.
"Just what our plans nie cannot be
revealed. They have been carefully thought
out HDd arrangements have been com-
pleted for a campaign which I believe wll.
surprise the world.

LANSING IS HOPEFUL.
The recognition of Carranza i< confi-
dently lo«»k<Ml upon by Secretary Lan*iu£
as a Iouk step toward solution of tie Mexi-

With recognition the process of recou-

stood for the liberal principles of the
revolution with which the Cnltcl States
has been iu sympathy. The fact that at
several times in the rise aud fall of Car-
ranza'* fortune* as a leader of his faction
he had differed with the Washington Gov-
ernment had led in many quarters to the
belief that h»» would not be rccognized,
and officials hoped today's actlMi would
dt'UioiiKtrate that they were not interested
iu pmoaattttoa, but only in eatabitsfcne&t
of true representative government lit Mex-
ico.
General Villa's followers had Lc|*<l that
the conference would continue in us efforts
to persuade Carranza to form a coalition
government. What the Villa fn.-tlon will
do is not 'learly indicated, but (hat they
will contluue to struggle In tlio field is
considered certain, although most of their
leaders are at present In Washington, and
official reports show that many of their
troops have gone over to the Carranza
side.
Secretary Lansing will report lo Presi-
dent Wilson tomorrow what oc« urred at
today's conference. As Mr. Wilson au-
thorized Sim retary Lansing to record the
American Government as favoring recogni-
tion of Carranza only the formal action,
without further negotiations, remains to
be taken.

According to an Italian official state-
ment the Austrians in great force
made an assault on the Italians, but
were repulsed before reaching the
trenches of the defenders.
LONDON, Oct. 9 (9:50 p. m.)—Bel-
grade, the old capital of Serbia, or the
greater part of it, is in possession of
an enemy army for the second time
since the outbreak of the war, while
other Austro-German troops have
crossed the Save and Danube Rivers
and are attempting to make a great
drive into Serbian territory.
The capture of Belgrade has been
expected, as it was not thought the
Serbians would make any serious at-
tempt to save the city, It is situated
on a point of Serbian soil at the junc-
ture of the Save and Danube, jutting
toward Austria, and could consequent-
ly be attacked from three sides—op-
erations which the Austro-Germans
found little difficulty in successfully
carrying out.
The real test of strength will come
when the Invaders reach the main Serbian
positions in the mountains where the Aus-
trlnus were so severely defeated in Decem-
ber, last. The present, however, Is a more
formidable attack, the new army group
under command of Field Mursnnl von
Mackenzen having been organized for that
purpose. Its strength is not exactly
known but It is supposed that this army
Is composed chiefly of Austro-Huugarlans
with u stiffening of Hermans und com-
manded by (Jerinuii officers. General von
Koeves and von Oullwlti, who took purt lu
tho offensive against ltussia, have com-
mands under von Muckenien.
lU'LOAllIANS' ACTIVITY.
The Iluigirlins, acting In concert with
their new allies, nre advancing from Sofiu
toward l'lerot on the Serbian frontier, the
fortress which covers the road to Nlsh,
the Serbian war capital. The French and
ilrltlsh are landing troops at the rate of
140,1100 dally at Kaloniki to send by rail-
way to the assistance of Serbia.
1 he Itulkuils, therefore, have taken their
place with the ltussian aud western fronts
us u center on which the interest of the
world will rest for some time to come.
The Black and Aegean Seas also will be
the scenes of greater activity for as soon
us ilulgurlu strikes at Serbia the allied
fleets will give the Bulgarian ports their
attention.
Although the Bulgarian Minister nt Lon-
don, who has not received or asked for
his passports, declared today that Bulgaria
has no quarrel with England, an attack
oil Serbia would be considered by England
as sufficient reason for u utiarrel.
Turkey, according to a dispatch from
Snlontkl, li sending 80,000 men to Varne
aud Dedeaghatch to help defend these
porti.
GREECE STILL STORM CENTER.
Greece's attitude Is still somewhat ob-
scure. The Greek Minister at Paris today
reiterated that Greece's neutrality would
contluue to be oue of benevolence towurd
the entente powers. But more than that
had been expected and the silled capitals
»re awaiting a definite statement from
the new Greek Cabinet.
Thera has been more heavy fighting
arouud Loos, In Artots, which the British
took In their big attack three weeks ago,
and which now apparently Is defended by
th* French. The latter claims thut the
Germans, who were the aggressors, were
"mowed down" while Berlin declares thut
the attack made some progress, while n
British attack northeast of Vermelles
fulled.
In Champagne the fighting seems to
have resumed the character of trench war-
fare, the French holding virtually uli their
gains while there also has been n resump-
tion of activity In Lorraine, where the
Germans record the capture of a much
contested height near Leintrey.
Field Marsliul vou Hlndenburg Is'again
striking itt livinsk aud has made some
headway, but along the rest o* the front
It is the Russians who are doing most of
the attacking. The general belief here is
thnt tho Austro-Germans nre concentrating
troops ou both wings of the eastern line
and intend to make one more effort to
obtain the line of the Dvlnu River in the
north and drive the Russluns across the
Besiirablnn frontier In the south before
digging themselves In for the wluter,

HUNDREDS ARE RKPORTED TO
HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE
MARSHES OF PINSK.
PARIS, Oct. 0 (0:50 p. m ).—Iraprtrtant
German detachments nre enmeshed In the
Immense marshes of I'lnsk In the Russian
province of Minsk, where the rivers have
overflowed bwlng to daily torrential rains,
says a dispatch from 1'etrograd to Havai
News Agcncy.
nundreds of Germans are reported to
have been lost in the bogs with their ar-
tillery, automobiles, and convoys. Mauy
deserters are said to be roving about the
country lu bands.
A landed proprietor named Sabounevici
hns organized a powerful detachment of
partisans, among them many Circassians,
who are hunting down the Germau bands.
Sabounevlcz's men, mounted on Binall
horses, nre said to be operating with ex-
traordinary rashness. Sweeping down upon
a village where the general staff of a
German dlvlslou was quartered, the dis-
patch adds, the officers were dispersed
panic stricken.
These 'marsh wolvef," as tho Germans
call them, huve thus far evaded the twa
squadrons of hussars which have been
assigned to capture them.
