The '' Tagoblatt's'' Holland corre spondent relates the details of the cap ture of Governor Von Korff, of Warsaw, Monday morning. It appears from this account that the governor, with his ad jutant, approached Kutno in an auto mobile, not knowing that the city had already been taken by the Germans after bloody street '.fighting. Suddenly rhe governor found himself before the vanguard of German cavalry and tried to escape, .tut was overtaken by the -Met/, dragoons and surrendered without resistance. He was brought to Gnesen, province of Posen. Sunday night and confined in the best hotel there.

The new stock is sue will, as usual, be taken by the 'Krupp family. A part of the new cap ital will be paid in on December 31.

Nov. 18. —The second Cana dian contingent will comprise 15,270 officers and men, 4,765 horses, 58 guns and IB machine guns, and will bo ready to sail from Canada in January. A third Canadian contingent of ap proximately 25,000 men will be ready to leave for Kngland early in March. Including the rirst contingent of 33,- 000 men, the Dominion by spring will have sent more than 70,000 men to the tiring line. The military authorities also have decided to keep 40,000 men under arms in Canada to serve as a base of supply for the contingents at the front. As the British War Office has informed the Dominion that reinforcements should be provided for at the rate of 25 per cent, per month, instead of on the smaller basis of 70 per cent, per annum, as at first was anticipated, it will mean a drain on the numbers re cruited for reinforcing purposes of from 6,000 to 8,000 a month, with increases in proportion as the strength of the 'C&nadian forces in the field is enlarged. With a contingent being sent to Eng land every two months, together with reinforcements, Canada expects to have placed between 200,000 and 250,000 men at the disposal of Of eat Britain by next autumn. • » Fall of Belgrade Near Berlin, Nov. 18.—The occupation of Belgrade.

LIZA IKS nun Once More Peace Plans for Mexico Republic Are Upset by His Obstinacy WANTS TO NAME NEW PRESIDENT Erstwhile Constitutionalist Leader Now Says He Was Misunderstood When He Agreed to Transfer the Execu tive Power to Gutierrez Washington, Nov. 18.—General Car ranza luis again refused to deliver the executive power to any but a man of his own selection and once more peace plans for Mexico arc upset, according to official dispatches to-dnv from American agents in Mexico. Just as it seemed that nn amicable adjustment had been reached. General Car ran/,a has announced that he was misunderstood. From both American Consul Silliman and Leon Canova, spe cial agent at Aguascalientes, the State Department received practically the same version of tho newest split! sum marized as follows: Carranza first telegraphed General Gonzales that he was willing to deliver the executive power to Gutierrez, pro vided both he (Carranza) and Villa re linquished their commands and met in Havana on November 21. General Gonzales telegraphed that to Gutierrez, chosen provisional President by the convention at Aguascalientes, who took it to mean that Carranza was ready to deliver the executive power to him. Now Carranza has announced that when he used the words * * provisional President'' he meant a man who en joyed his entire confidence, such as General Pablo Gonzales. American Consul Silliman referred to this as a new "proposal from Carranza," while Special Agent Canova describes it- as a "repudiation by Carranza of his tele gram to Gonzales." With troop movements under wav and hostilities imminent, efforts were being made to-day by some of the gen erals to patch up the differences. A connpromise proposal being discussed is that Carranza could resign his command to Gonzales, who would retain control of the territory held by Carranza, while Villa would turn over his forces to Gutierrez. Both Gonzales and Gutierrez could then remafti in power in their re spective territories while the eon von tion reassembled either to ratify the choice of Gutierrez or choose a not he:' provisional President. Official (lis patches indicate there is some hope o£ an agreement along that line. Carranza Chief Killed in Action Washington, Nov.
