of General Canuto Roycs nnd General Ro

to reports to the State Department today.
Tho main Cnrranza nrmy. under Gen

the coming decisive bittlo Is expected to

hundred mllos of railroad line beginning
it Leon nnd that It has swept almost to
tho gates of the capital within two weeks
is taken to indicate that it must number
closo to 10,000 men.
General Gonzales' nrmi Is estimated at
about 25.00J men. A small part of It has
b(cn left In Moxico City.
The nows of Gonzales' abandonment of
tho capltnl after an occupation of only
eight dujs was discussed at length by
Stato Department officials today, and.
It was declared, the Mexican situation
was considered at aomo length at tho
Cublnot meeting. It is hold that Gon

that the occupying Cnrranza army would

Ellseo Arredondo, Carranza's agent
here, Issuod a statement saying the Gon

ago. Its purpose, he said, 1b to destroy
"a raiding movement to tho northward
of the city by an Inferior force of Vil
lains." Adequate provision for the preservation
of order In Mexico City has been made,
and as soon as the present operation,
which should require only a few days, Is
completed, tho military force will return

BODY IN COBB'S CREEK
THAT OF CONTRACTOR
Frederick C. Michnelsen, Miss
ing Since July 9, May Have
Been Murdered.
The body found near tho dam breast
of Cobb's Creek and showing marks of
foul play was Identified today as that of
Frederick C. Mlchaelsen, a contractor and
builder, who disappeared from his home,
Ml North B2d street, July 9, Mlchaelsen
left home ostensibly for his office at 211
South 47th street, and had not been heard
of since.
George T. Mlchaelson. a brother. Identi
fied the body as that of the missing con
tractor and Detectives Souder and Ray
Wllllson Smith, who knew the missing
man, also said It was that of Mlchael
sen. Deputy Coroner Donnelly and H. F.
Taylor, of Ridley Park, believe the dead
man was murdered and his body thrown
Into the stream to give the crime the ap
pearance of Bulclde. The finding of $3 in
the pocket of the man's trousers adda
weight to the suicide theory, but as there
was a cut on his head, In addition to a
lfing gash in his throat, detectives work
ing on the case contend he waa murdered.
In their opinion the contractor had a
large amount of money with him and the
murderers left the few dollars In his
pocket to throw the authorities oft the
track
As the dead man's coat, collar or tie
could not be found, tha polio believe he
was led Intq a fight and then knocked
down with a blunt Instrument and
robbed. The attack occurred near Ard
inore, Donnelly believes, and after de
stroying all clues which would lead to
the man'a Identity his body was thrown
Into the creek and carried down the
stream to a point beyond Beechwood,
where It wa found by three employes
of the Philadelphia and Western Railway.
The dead man was clad only In a striped
silk shirt and dark trousers. The fact
that he weighed about 200 pounds and
carried a folding rule, such as Is used by
contractors, led to the belief that the
body waa that of Mlchaelsen.

GREAT BRITISH ARMY
OF 2,000,000 LEAVES
FOR NEW OFFENSIVE
Vast Force Kecruited by
England Off for France.
Today Set as Date for
Final Sailings of Trans
ports to Front.
, LONDON, July 20.
"The great British advance will begin
about tho 1st of August and England will
then mnko her great throw In the war,"
was the confident declaration today of
one of Kltchenor'B newest army, a man
equipped -with Information, although he
Is only a prlvnte. A year ago ho was a
nowspnper correspondent, as woll known
In New York as In London, although now
ho Is merely a man In the ranks of the
Royal ruslllcrs.
"Kitchener's great nrmy of 2,000,000
men Is nt last on tho way. Within a
couplo of weeks thoro will bo another
750,000 British troops in Franco."
A glance at the speaker would convince
one that ho was tho very typo of man
needed for an officer. But he thought
dlficrcntly.
"I, nnd many like me," he said, "want
to got .to the front and in the midst of
tho fighting as soon ns we can. We don't
want to wear tlio stars of an officer and
train recruits In soma hole B0 miles out
side tho world. TJs for France!"
This Kltchoner soldier was telling tho
real truth. For two weeks past, ultlioush
no word lias been allowed by the censor
to be sent abroad, mighty preparations
have been going on throughout England
to got tho main body of Kitchener's army
out of England by July 20. These plana
have been in readiness for tho last throe
months, and the departure of the Gor
don Highlanders for Flanders on July 4
was the match laid to tho train.
Theso troops now departing include all
thoso who enlisted between the outbreak
of the war and last January. The re
mainder stay behind as reserves. No man
Is going out who has had loss than six
months of training. The remaining mil
lion will serve to fill up the reserves.
'"The larger the army, the greater the
number of reserves necessary," Is
Kitchener's motto.
For the moment, Aldorshot, Salisbury
Plain and all the great training centres
are deserted They will be reserved for
the new recruits compulsorv or otherwise
expected aa soon as the National Reg
ister, a half-threat to compulsion, Is com
peted. Meanwhile thoso left In Kitchen
er's army are training harder than ever.
Nothing has awakened Britain to the
needs Imposed by this war more than the
present sudden and great movement of
troops. The men aro not like thoso of
the old regular army, which was drawn
mainly from the poorest classes of the
community, and whose departure meant
little to the life of the nation at large.
The present forces are composed of men
of every class, although the middle
classes predominate, and when they go
they will tako the hearts of half of Eng
land with them.
On all sides, physically and mentally,
they are acknowledged to form the beat
great body of troops that has ever left
the shores of Britain. Even carping staff
officers from the War Office cannot find
ono word to say against them.
This Is England. last great throw In
the war," repeated the private In tho
Royal Fusiliers.

GUARDS WATCH FOR SPIES,
Eddystone In tha course of tho last fe
weeks has becomo sunacniy a -war
town." It la by no means under martial
law, but hundreds of guards patrol tho
railroads, the saloons nearest here nre
hr-lnir nt least closelv scrutinized, thou
sands of men are at work night and day
in tho uroetlon of the new plant of tho
Remington Arms Company, and, In all, a
cloud of veiled secrecy seema to cover -the
surrounding country.
Several thousand men aro now employed
In tho Baldwin plant here. Tho number
is soon to bo greatly Increased. That Is
easily shown by the fact that Baldwin
officials have asked real estate men In
(Jhcster to make arrangements If poitiola
for the housing ot thousands of work
men. Lists of the many small houses to
rent In Chester havo been nailed on
prominent -places In tho Baldwin plant,
whpr thv ran ha seen bv all.
MONSTER PLANT RISES FAST. w M
Tho huge new Remington plant looms ?
like a big red city or fortress around J.J
trreon and aulet countryside here. Tn T
plant has made wonderful strides In tWS
last three wceka. Red glrdcra and beams 3
are being shot Into position, accompanied I1
by a chorus of steam wniauea -ricks.
Tho visitor's memory perhsps
turns to visions of ths mighty howltsers
and fortresses of steel.
In all. It certainly means business, TM
Remington plant la being erected on tB
grounds of the Baldwin plant for tn.
manufacture of several million rtnej
which are to go to the Russian armjl
The building Is 1300 by 800 feet In slxe ana
la to be finished by September. In all five
buildings villi bo erected. The Remington
plant-so-called will cover a space of H
acres. Although the work 1b bolng done
under the name of Remington, the plant
and Its bulldlnga will eventually becom
tho property of the Baldwin Compsny
A harblriger of this may bo seen In tn
many Baldwin locomotives which r
