TORONTO, Out, Sept 29.
Having dispatched the first Canadian
war contingent of 32,000 men on Its voy
bro to Rurope, well guarded by British
men-nf-v.-nr, tho Canadian Government
Is evperted In a few days to issue a sec
end rail for men to join their comrades
at the front. Although It Is Intimated
th-it only Id 0.0 men will be asked for
on this occasion, It Is estimated that
fuih loo,o",o will volunteer, of which 10,
iw villi be from Toronto and Montreal.
Kvi-r since the war begun the militia
raiments throughout tho country huvo
Leen increasing their establishments to
a war footing and adding so many re
cruits that the supply of tho service
khaki uniforms has been exhausted, and
companies are again seen parading with
in.' cider uniforms of tho Brliish army.
Owing to the valuable service i endured
by mi.unted infantry In the South African
war Is wa said today by a prominent
hf.idfpiurters olilcer that the second con
tribution of men by tho Dominion would
bo particularly strong In this nrm.

In the Held, a. decided nud spontaneous

tuat tho dominion government had been
gradually making preparations for tho

LONDON', Sept. 23.
Tho British army olllclals admittedly
aro gravely concerned over tho sanitary
situation In tho field. Constantly re
curring reports which can hardly be
overlooked. Insist that real Asiatic
cholera Is present, not only In Austria
among tho wounded lit Vienna and
Budapest and among the troops on the
firing line In 'Gullcln, but that It actually
has developed In certain parts of Russia.
In addition typhoid and typhus, as well
as dysentery, are said to bo raging In
tho ranks of some of the German urnilos
and navy, French and British soldiers
havo been sent back from the Hold base
suffering from milder dlscuse.
As a result ot these developments ex
traordinary activity Is In evidence at all
of the hospital cases. To tho troops at
the front have been sent enormous quan
tities of quicklime, which is being used
wherever It Is necessary to clean up
battlefields In the rear of the troops.
In addition, the most extraordinary pre
cautions aro being taken to ln.iurc that
no water used by tho army In the field
Is taken from contaminated sources, in
this .respect the British army Is much
better olf than uny of the other forces
In the Held. .
from tho tlrst landing on French soil
the commanders of the troops havo been
active In safeguarding the water supply.
Whenever the Held kitchens are not en
gaged In supplying food for the men they
have been kept in operation boiling
water. Consequently up to the present
time tho Biltish expeditionary forces haw
been remarkably free from disease.
The heavy, cold rains that continued
for more than a week, however, brought
a veritable epidemic of rheumatism to
tho soldiers in tho Hold. Compelled to
stand hip deep in water-filled trenches,
to light day and night In clothing from
which water actually dripped, tho con
tending forces naturally suffered and
sluco then the percentage of sick Is fully
as large as tho percentage of wounded.
In addition the weather conditions took
severe toll of tho wounded and reports
from all of the Hospitals, tioth here and
111 France, show a high percentage of
pneumonia cases nt tho present time.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 29,-Desplto tho
demands "of General Villa and Villa's
generals, that Provisional President
Vonustlnno Carranza resign, the Indica
tions today wero that General Carranza
would remain In tho National Palace at
least until the convention of Constitu
tionalist generals or their delegates Is
held here next month.
General Carranza believes that no
other plan of nctlon on his part would
bo consistent with the "Guadalupe agree
ment," of which Villa Is one of the
signers.
General Carranza and his advisors sat
late In tho executive quarters of the Na
tional Palace last night working upon a
plan of campaign and drafting a reply
to tho following telegram which Carranza
has Just made public:
"To Don Venuatiano Carranza, ftrat chief
o the Conatitutionaliat Army anil in
charge of tho executive power, Mexico
City:
"Wo desire to make every effort to pre
vent the enemies of tho cause of liberty,
who stoop to any medium that stulns the
Republic, from profiting by suctrcircum
stances ns seem imminent. We also de
sire to make every sacrifice before putting
our fatherland In danger of foreign Intervention.
"Only tho failure of all those noble
hopes and all these generous efforts will
lead us into a fratricidal struggle into
which we would be compelled to enter as
our duty.
(Noto: Part of the message Is here
stricken out by 'the Mexican censor.)
"eGncral Vllln has telegraphed to all
our dear brothers to cease thu hostile
attitude of the division of the north as
soon as you, In nn outburst of patriotism
and self abnegation, turn over the su
preme command to the incorruptible
Liberal, Fernando Igleslas Cnlderon, who,
by his talents, energy and clean ante
cedents, will bo a guarantee for tho
fruits of our revolution. He will know
how to lend the republic in the paths of
honor and glory and will never prove a
traitor to the Ideals of real democracy.
'General Vllln has dcclraed categori
cally that the whole of this division (the
nmry of the north) will uphol dtlrmly
Scnor Igleslas, and In a burst of high
patriotism General Villa has ulready an
nounced to tho world that none of his
generals aspire to the presidency of tho
republic, nor the vice presldecny. This
Is so In transitory or permnnent sense."
Tho telegram was signed by 15 generals
on the staff of General Villa. Including
General Felipe Angeles, Eugenlo Bena
Ivdes, Raoul Madero and Callxto Con-
tie ras.
Tho publication of this telegram here
created a sensation.
General Alvaro Obregon and the other
followers of Carranza, who wero sent to
treat at once with Villa's representatives,
uro believed to be In Aguns Callentos;
but this conference Is separate nnd dis
tinct from the big convention called for
next month. It will probably bo held
on Ostober 5.
.Military preparations are still going'
fotwnrd, and General Carranza now has
a strong army In the Held to oppose Gen
eral ui.vs itivision ot the North.

Great Britain Aims to Break
Up Practice of Supplying
German Cruisers From
This Port.
While agents of the Federal Govern
ment are starting an Investigation to dis
cover the orlglnul shippers f tho con
traband, destined for German warships,
in tho Norwegian steamships Fram and
Sommerstnd, the vessels aro discharging
their cargoes at tho new Municipal Pier
at the foot of Dock strcot, and two Brit
ish cruisers, cheated of their prey, aro
tying Idly off tho Delaware Capes.
It was not known until today that
Great Britain had ordered two warships
to, patrol tho entrance of the Delaware
Bay to break up the practice of supply
ing tho German cruisers Karlsruhe and
Dresden from this port. Several weeks
ago tho cruiser Essex was .seen there.
She was relieved by tho converted
auxiliary cruiser Cnronla and today an
other vessel, believed to be the Brltiannla,
mado her appearance. The cruiser seen
by several Incoming vessels hns four
funnels and Is constructed along tho
same lines as the Creasy, Obouklr and
Hogue, sunk a few days ago by German
submarines. Tho wntchful waiting
policy of the Cnronla and her reinforce
ment, shipping men stated today, did
moro to make Captain Axelscn, of the
Sommerstnd, and Captain Grlndhelm, of
tho Frum, to change their minds about
delivering their cargoes than did orders
from tho owners of their vessels. Each
master was in a fair-way to win-auma)r.
fortune for his work, but the fear of be
ing captured and Imprisoned until the end
of tho war made them decide to sur
render tho clenrance papers and remain
In port until a neutral cargo could re
placo tho contraband stowed In tho holds.
The Department or Commerce and Jus
tice, upon the request of the British Gov
ernment, has taken up the shipment of
contraband from the vnilous American
ports. In addition to Investigating tho

1'KTHOOHAD, Sept. 2!.
Breslau, In Slleslu, 100 miles from Ber
lin, Is now believed to bo the main Rus
sian objective. Cracow, which the Rus
sians' northern column Is ncarlng, will
ibe Invested by a large' army, following
tho precedent set at Przemysl. A million
men aro reported engaged In this move
'ment.
Tho northern column has assuulted
Tarnow and a pitched battle Is now In
progress there. Tho Austrlans aro put
ting up a strong resistance but they are
greatly outnumbered. With Tnrnow In
possession -of tho Itussinns the last ob
stacle In the way of tho siege of Cracow
will have been removed. Dumbrlcko, a
ruilroud station on thn way to Tnrnow,
bus ulready been captured.
It Is now apparent that the movement
through Gallcia Is thu main offensive
of the Itusslun army. It developed to
day that Grand Duke Nicholas, the commander-in-chief.
Is with the forces there,
which number moro than l.OOO.OOj men.
The armies, proceeding along tho
parallel lines of railway, are moving
rapidly westward. With nil the six
Carpathian passes occupied by Russian
troops und with strong forces on the
Hungarian plains Just south of these
points all danger of a possible Hanking
movement has been avoided. Conse
quently there is now nothing to retard
the movement.
The pursuit by the Russians of the
Austrian army In Gallcia Is compared by
tho military experts here with General
Kutozoff's pursuit of Napoleon's army
from Moscow In 1S12, and General Grant's
hurrying chnse of Leo's nrmy In the
civil wnr In lSlw.
Tho victorious Russian forces have al
ready traversed more than half of tru
routo from Przemysl to Cracow and the
latter Is now only four days' march dis
tant. Tho northern Russian column Is mov
ing much more rapidly than the sotitli
orn. ono. This Is believed., here. -to Indi
cate they expect tho Austrian retreat,
when It comes, to be toward the south,
nnd the army moving in that direction
will be nblo to cut otf their retreat.
AUSTRIAN'S FALL BACK TO CRACOW.
The Austrlans have fallen buck until
they are close to Cracow, whore they

erals. They have not only abandoned nil
defense of their own country, but havo
left Hungary to the protection of Its own
