Carranza Paves Way
For New Government
(By International News Service.) |
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 15.—General
Carranza today issued a decree which
paves the way for replacing the pres
ent de facto Government with a solid
constitutional government. A revi
slon of several of the most impor- |
tant articles of the plan of Guada
loupe, drawn on December 12, 1914, is
one of the plans outlined by Carran
g2a. The decree also provides that each
State and Territory shall elect a dep
uty to Congress and allows a sub
deputy for every 70,000 inhabitants.
States having population beyond 70,-
000 will be allowed an extra deputy
for every additional 20,000.
Carranza tomorrow will issue an
other document which will call for the
election of members for a National
Congress. The election will take place
on October 15, and the first session
of Congress will be on November 20,
probably in Coyoacan, a Mexico City
‘suburb,
The decree will make it positive
that those who opposed the constitu
tional government with arms can not
hold office. The re-formed consti
tution will be turned over to Congress
by Carranza with instruction to make
it conform to the plans of the Consti
tutional party. After the constitution
had been adopted, Carranza wi'l call
for the election of President,
Mexico tomorrow will celebrate the
anniversary of its independence.

On the heels of the announcement of a sweeping victory for
the Allies in Macedonia, where the Bulgars are in flight after their
line had been smashed, comes the report that the British are now
dealing the Germans in France the heaviest blow they have suffered
since the first day of the great drive.
The mighty smash of the British has been under way all day
and has swept forward, according to the officlal announcement
made in London, over a four-mile front along the Albert-Bapaume
highway to a depth of from one to two miles.
The town of Flers, only four miles south of Bapaume, was cap
tured Friday afternoon, according to a dispatch from Frederick
Palmer. The correspondent of The London Daily News wires that
the German third line of defense has been broken. The presumption
is that the offensive is still under way.
‘ Gains announced by the French War Office indicate that the
fall of Combles and then Peronne, which towns are key defenses of
the German line, is only & matter of days. The French drove for
'vud, extending their positions to the southeast of Combles and to
the north of Peronne, and both towns are now in ““pockets’’ and
are subject to attack from three sides.
