Announcement was made by Presi dent Wilson that lie has ordered the withdrawal of the United States forces from Vera Cruz. Tlie announcement followed a dis cussion of the situation at the cabinet meeting and came as a direct result of favorable advices from Paul Fuller. President Wilson's personal represent ative, who Is returning lrom an In vestigating trip to Mexico. It Is understood that Mr. Fuller re ported that the withdrawal would greatly facilitate the efforts of Cur ran za to establish a stable government In Mexico. The Immediate effect ot the president's act will be to leave Carranza free to conduct the reorgan ization of Mexico without any re Btraiat and to put him In possession of one of the most Important points in all Mexico. The withdrawal will take place Just as soon as arrangements can be made for the delivery of the city to the properly constituted Mexican authori ties. The president's statement on the subject was limited to the following: "The troops have been ordered withdrawn from Vera Cruz. This action Is taken In view of the entire removal of the circumstances which were thought to justify the occupation. The further presence ot the troops Is deemed unnecessary." While no mention was made of the feet It 1b understood in olllclal circles that with the withdrawal of the troops most of the warships in Mexican waters will be ordered home. REPLY TO BULLET PROTEST WJIion Does Not Believe It Is Time Yet For Judgment. President Wilson has laid down a general principle by which the United States will be guided throughout the war In receiving and considering pro tests from one belligerent against an other. The president has decided that th United Slates will not attempt t form or express a final judgment or any of these protests; that to do so would be Inconsistent with the neu trality of the United States govern ment. The language of his reply to the kaiser and his verbal answer to the Belgians were Identical, so far as the vital portions were concerned. A cablegram replying to the protest of President Polncare of Franco, who charged that the Germans were using dum dum bullets also was prepared. It was not made public, but was known to follow closely the text of the presi dent's message to Emperor William.

CAUTION SEEN BY DUN'S Trade Review Notes Hesitancy In Cusiness Circles. Dun's Review of Trade says this week: "Hesitancy In entering upon new commitments continues and a spirit oi caution is everywhere manifest, yet the confident feeling in business cir cles is maintained. Sentiment is strengthened by developments In the financial situation, a favorable linpres sion being created by the further Im provement in foreign exchange and the action taken with a view to meet in K maturing obligations abroad.

Twnnty Alsatians were among the prisoners. These signed an agre ment to jot", the foreign legion of the French army and were roleased. The French have repulsed with suc cess from Noyon to Nancy, a distance of about 1R0 miles. Here between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 are engaged in a struggle that In ferocity and stragetlc Importance bids fair to sur pass the ba'tle of the Marne. The Belgians have refused to treat as a prisoner of war Commandant Meune of the landsturm at Louvaln. He Is being held as a criminal pris oner at Antwerp and will be court martlaled for gross Infractions of the laws of war. The future campaign Is to be controlled by the developments in France. The 'precautions being taken In Paris against surprises have caused an order which went into effect forbidding automobiles to leave Paris except mil' tary mach'-es and ambulances anil cars carry 1 1 ; officials and journalist, between Paris and Bordeaux. The name of Mme. Adrienne Buhet head of the Dames Du Sacre Coeurs appears in a long list of names o' those killed on a battlefield. She was struck by a bullet from a German machine gun as she was raising th' head of a wounded soldier. Official announcement was made in Toklo that a bomb dropped by a Jap anese aviator had set fire to a Germ?'! ship in Kiauchau bay. Attempts tc wreck the wireless station there in the same manner have failed thus far. 0Z Have the new suit or gown fitted over America's most justly famous corset, FRXLASET Front Laced Corset This week we are making an effort to acquaint women with the merit of the Frolaset. A special showing of the new Fall Models is now in progress. Every corset will be fitted. Women who are not in immediate need of a corset, may arrange for a trial fitting. It isn't necessary to purchase. We simply want you to see whether or not the Frolaset will improve the ap pearance of your figure. We want you to compare the Frolaset with the corset you are now wearing. Each garment so admirably meets the needs of the figure for which it was designed. The stout woman's corset is the best we have ever fitted. The model for the growing girl is really the first -corset of this kind that fully answers the requirements of the youthful figure. The model for the short slender woman seems to be different from any corset we know of. The medium-figured woman will find the Frolaset all she may anticipate. In a word "they're perfect." A New York Fashion Letter Reads - s "An unusually strong demand has developed within the last two weeks for velvets for suit and costume purposes." We are showing a handsome Costume Velvet silky and well covered in all the new fall shades, $1.00 a yard. ..........

After a pursuit which had continued for nearly five miles a body of mutineers hod been overtaken, who faced about and fired Into the squadron at close qunrters, Itoberts saw Younghusband full, but could not go to his assistance, as at that moment one of bis sowars was in dire peril from a sepoy who was attacking him with a fixed bay onet, nnd had he not holpcd the man and disposed of his opponent he must i have been killed.
