GREATEST STRUGGLE OF THE AGES YET RAGES
TSINGTAU COMPLETELY INVESTED BY JAPANESE
GERMANS WILL LAV
SIEGE TO ANTWERP
MIGHTY SIRlGGLf STILL PROCELDS
Paris, Sept. 29, 3 p. m. --- Nothing
decisive has occurred anywhere along
the lines of battle between the Ger
mans and the allies in France accord
ing to the official announcement given
out this afternoon. The allies have
gained slightly at several points but the
German center still holds strongly. On
the left the French continue to make
progress. The Germans have obtained
no apparent advantage from their suc
cess on the Meuse heights. They made
a breach there but the effects will be
counteracted. The Germans, it is said
without doubt, have been ordered to
hack through the allied lines anywhere
at any cost, and within a short time it
is assured that the supreme moment
will arrive when the Germans will be
hurled back or the allies must retire
towards Paris. The Germans are no
longer able to disregard the advance
of the Russians and they must beat the
allies soon so that they can turn their
attention to the Russian hosts in the
east or they must watch powerlessly
the capital of Germany threatened with occupation. But,
this afternoon there seems to be no more indication that
the battle is drawing to a close than there was a week ago.

THE HOME OF THE SEWARD GATEWAY
VILLA NOT CANDIDATE
FOR IRE PRESIDENCY
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.— Gener
al Villa has sent word that he is not
a candidate for the presidency of
Mexico nor even a candidate for the .
vice-presidency and that his opposi- j
tion to Cananza is not founded at all •
on any personal ambition. The as-,
surances are regarded here as evi- ^
•once that the rupture between the
two men is of a nature that will ren- j
der pacification a matter of no great j
difficulty.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.— Gener
al Funston has wired £he president
that General Zapata has protested j
against the evacuation of Vera Cruz j
by the Americans as he fears that the i
evacuation of Vera Cruz by the Amer-;
icans as he fears that the evacuation j
of the city at this time would place |
it in the possession of Carranza. The j
importance- of -this- communication
comes from the fact that Zapata, one!
of the most noted of the Mexican |
chieftains, fought against Huerta. His
opposition to Carranza now seems to i
show that he will be on- the- side- of
Villa.

HOUSE WILL CONFER
PHIEEIPPINE AUTONOMY
■ 1
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.— The
house is now debating the Philippine
Independence bill and is expected to
pass this session. It is almost certain
not to be brought up in the senate this
session but that it will be brought up
there next session is regarded as as
sured. The opinions of the members
jf congress on this question seem to
'iave undergone a change and the
more it is considered the more is it
regarded as likely that the Islands
will receive autonomy. Privately, if
not publicly, the feeling is voiced that
the granting of self government to
the Island may obviate certain inter
national complications which are con
stantly regarded as possible.

THAT APPOPRATION
IS TOO LARGE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.— The
house committee is now said to be
*ully in agreement with the senate
committee in the desire to cut the

hfty million to twenty million. The
house committee majority believes
that it would be advisable to substi
tuted the rivers and harbors bill the
'arbors l ill alone which provides for
in appropriation of less than a half
>f the appropriations required for the
improvement in both lines. It is sur
Tcsted that the improvement in the
•ivers could be effected after the
