BAKER MAKES CRAVE
CHARGES CONSPIRACY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—
Secretary of War Baker caused a
tremendous seusation throughout
the entire nation when he specific
ally and publicly charged that the
political enemies of the Wilson admi
nistration “right in the JJnited
States, were planning now with Villa
an attack by the latter upon General
Pershing or some border town. The
war department’, concludes Baker,
“has definite information that the
enemies of the Wilson Mexican poli
cy have been and are now co-operat
ing with the bandits”.
It is impossible to over-rate the
sensational effect of this positive de
nunciation.
CINNCINATI, O., Oct. 26.—Crowds

son at this city, and One more of
those extraordinary triumphs was
his on his way to his hotel from the

spiritual unity and preparedness of
Americans for the great world work
that was ahead of the nation.
CINNCINATI, Oct. 2 6.—President
Wilson who arrived here at eleven

crowded hall. He rapped the shout
ers of industrial panic after the war,
and scoffed at the predictions of eco
nomic disaster which pessimists saw
loom up in the future.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Henry
Ford says that Wilson inspired him
to give his women factory employees
a minimum of five dollars a day

CARRANZA IN RAD
STRAITS SAY REPORTS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—
Official reports show that members
of the Carranza, Obregon, Trevino,
Huerto and Adoro families are now i
at San Antonio. The presence of
these prominent families is unex
plained in American territory.
Military experts are pessimistic
over the situation because of the
Carranza lack of troops supplies and
transportation.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 26.—Arriving
Americans says that Villa and his
bandits have ordered the American
expedition from Mexican soil.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—
Pure invention, said the Mexican em
bassy, as to the report that Carranza
was preparing to flee from Mexico
Funston reports that a column of
Carranizsts is now marching from
Parral to meet Villa.
EL PASO, Oct. 26.—A private!
news dispatch says that Villa is en
camped some five miles from Chia
liuahua and that the city is in a
state of siege. United States offici
als expect that the city will be eva
cuated. Chihuahua is the best for
tified northern stronghold and has
a garrison of five thousand men.
The announcement that Obregon is
sending twelve thousand men to re
inforce Trevino is taken to indicate
that Trivino is helpless.
EL. PASO, Oct. 26.—United States
agents report that Villa emissaries
are conferring with the legalistas on
methods to be adopted for the over
throw of Carranza.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—
More news fabrications, ostensiblj
official, but without the slightest
foundation in truth, are coming out
of Mexico than ever. An effort is
made to establish a crisis just be

BERLIN, Oct. 26.—Von Falkyn

of Vulkan Pass from the Rumanians
According to the scanty details of
this crushing defeat of the Ruman

driven from all their positions by
the fearless storming of the heights
by the Germans and Austrians and
the liberal use of hand grenades
which completed the discomfiture ot
the Rumanians.
If the present rate of progress
continues, one month will see the
subjugation of Rumania. Originally
the General Staff had decided that
