By ARTHUR CONSTANTINE MEXICO CITY, Oct. 2,-Tho, second session of the preliminary conference of Constitutionalist Generals to prepare for tho national "peace convention" was held hero today. The gonernl "peace confer ence" probably will open In Aguacal Icntcs on October 10 Instead of lu this city. The event of principal Importance scheduled for today was tho report of l'"lrst Chief Venustlano Carranza on the triumph of the Constitutionalist cause. It now seems certain that the present scries of conferences will bo extended, although there nro differences of opinion op this score. Tho conferences now tak ing placo will probably supersede the meeting which had been called for Mon day. Tho session today, like that of yester day, was hold In tho hall of the Chamber of Deputies, with Luis Cabrera presid ing. The only business that had been conducted at tho first session was tho presentation of credentials. General Car Kinza was given enthusiastic greeting and he predicted "that all .loyal and patriotic Mexicans would soon bo In accord." General Obrcgon, General Snachez and Roberto Pesqulora, who had been ap pointed a Committee of Three to ar range for a national "peace convention," In uccordanco with tho Guadalopo agree ment, were In conference until early to day. It Is announced by the Government that HO out of the 91 generals in the Constitu tionalist army are here for tho meetings which are being held. General Obregon, whose return from Zncatecos was unexpected, spoke In tho most optimistic vein as to tho future of Mexico. Reports of activity on tho part of do Inched bands of Vlllalstas In Durango have caused trepidation at the AVar Office, where. It was announced that tho ndherents of General Carrnnza are doing everything expected of them to uphold the recent armistice. BRITISH NAVAL GUNS SHELL GERMAN LINES Long: Range Artillery Decisive Fac tor Along Alsne, Is Report. PARIS, Oct. 2. It was learned today that the French and British artillery now In action has been augmented by big naval guns of tho typo that proved so effoctlvo with the British In South Africa. These guns have been sent to tho forces operating In the triangle of the Olse and the Alsno and to those north of the Sommo cn gagod In driving the Germans from their strongly entrenched positions. Others havo been rushed to tho army operating in tho Woevre region. Tho complaint heretofore has been that In the entrenched positions the German artillery had the longer range and that the shells of the Allies fell short. This has been remedied nnd the uninterrupted series of successes that have marked all of the operations of this week entirely Is duo to tho uld given by tho naval guns, which, it Is stated, aro manned by their own gunners. R0YE HEIGHTS REPORTED CAPTURED BY GERMANS French Attacks From Toul Also Re ported Repulsed. LONDON. Oct. 2. A Berlin dispatch to the Reuter Tele gram Company by way of Amsterdam says: "Official headquarters this evening an nounces that the heights of Roye and Fresnoy-le-Orand, northwest of Noyon, were tnken September SO. South of St. Mihlcl, the announcement continues, Kronen attacks from Toul were repulsed Thursday with tevere losses to the Krench. The attack on Antwerp con tinues successfully. The situation In the Knutern war theatre remains un changed." TRAGEDY GREAT WAR DRAMA ords are always made of patients who un dergo hospital treatment. Thus It Is prob.iblo that the artillery are not given full credit for the actual havoc thoy have wrought, although every one agrees us to the damago the guns have to the nerves of the combatants. But there can be little doubt that the de structive effect of modern quick-firing' tleld artillery Is very great: and this is proved by the ever-increasing desire to render troops and entrenchments as In visible as possible. This fact alone speaks volumes as to the eflleacy and deadlines of modern field artillery. A private, writing' home to Kngland. says: "Regarding what has been said about tho German blue-gray uniform being bet ter than our khaki, I for one don't thlnh so. The German uniform stands out black at 300 yards or so. Our khaki is virtually invisible. The German soldiers fire from their hips nnd their bullets go high. Tholr artillery fire Is more accu rate because of the aeroplanes." The bitterness of the Polish peasants toward the Germans In Russian Poland, the London Dally Telegraph's Petro grad correspondent says, grows hourly more pronounced, a bitterness that re ceived fresh Impetus through recent ex amples of grim humor on the part of the Germans. Along the line of the German opera tions thLs example of humor took the form of a pretense by the Germans to pay for all supplies with slips of paper upon which were written In German script so the enraged Polish peasants learned through Interpreters "Who ever presents this at the end of the war will be hangid." The report that the Austrian troops who have been opposing the Russians are short of aupplles and that the men often go hungry Is confirmed by the statement of a doctor who attended a wounded Austrian ottleer after the bat tle of Opole. The Immediate amputation of one of officer's legs was necessary. Whin tils Information waa conveyed to htoi by V surgeons, the officer said: 'AH rl&ht; but nrirt give me some food.

State Department officials today de clared emphatically thnt tho stage of dip lomatic negotiations with Great Britain over seizure of contraband and condi tional contraband of war had not yet reached that of formal protests.

DUTCH BITTERLY RESENT BRITISH SEA HOLD-UP Searching of Neutral Ships Stirs People of Holland. ROTTERDAM, Oct. 1. There is growing bitterness throughout Holland Against England because of Its Interference with Dutch shipping ind holding up of cargoes of foodstuffs and needed supplies, such as copper. This feeling Is not pro-German, but antl British. Although It Is reported that nn arrangement has been made between England, the United States and Holland whereby foodstuffs are no longer to be held up, Hollanders generally resent tho concessions their Government was com pelled to make, and especially the fact that they wore compelled to place them selves under obligation to England In order to prevent a complete p:iralysls of the Dutch trade. All of the facts of the holding up of the Holland-American liners en route from Now York to Philadelphia are be coming known here only now, Tho Dutch national pride has been badly hurt by learning that when a British commander took possession of the Noordam and took that vessel into Queenstown harbor he ordered tho captain down from his own bridge. Even Englishmen here declare that this was a "conspicuous example of disregard of ethics and tactlessness." There Is much wonder here as to what will be the result when similar tactics are fol lowed by British warship commanders toward American merchantmen who are to be put Into ths service between here and New York.

For 18 days this city has been under a continuous German flro. As I write this dispatch huge shells, weighing 21 pounds each, are whistling through the air and exploding with terrific crashes all over the city, wrecking buildings In every quarter.

During tho fight on tho River Niemen there appeared for the first time a now pattern Russian gun of largo calibre and considerable mobility. Naturally no details nro Issued concerning its construction and principal features, but It Is the product of tho famous Putlloff 'works.

On the Prusslnn frontier two of these new guns silenced the Gormnn batteries within ten minutes, and tho German guns wero abandoned In tholr positions. Every gunner had been killed. A large quantity of German stores and transports have beon abandoned on account of tho state of the roads. Tho Invasion has been, In short, a disaster. It ha3 failed at every point.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-A recent Issue of tho Stockholm Dagblad tells of tho escape of the derman cruisers Goeben and Bre3 lau from a squadron of British battleships and cruisers In tho Mediterranean. The full account was obtained from a Swedish traveler, Just returned from Sicily. He says: "The two German cruisers had en tered Jlesslnn, whero Gorman steam ships gavo them an nbundanco of coal and supplies. They were provisioned while the British warships outside tho harbor prepared to capturo them. Four British warships lay off tho heights of Capo Faro to the north, while two others were on the lookout oft Regglo to tho south. "Al! day the Goeben and tho Brcslau remilned fiulet, but when night fell tho two captains decided on a sortie. It va- rapture, or the loss of both vessels If thoy did not succeed. "A dark night favored them. Thoy decided to slip out of the strait while tho bands of both cruisers were left be hind lustily playing 'Din Wacht am Itheln.'
