GA. will form a close alliance with the labor party, the coalition crystalliz ing its platform into the battle cry, "the arist.H-ratH against the people.” Army Order. Premfer Asquith announced an army order today which genrally la considered to have been intended as a sort of charter on which Field Mar shal French and (leneral Kwart might ho induced to remain in their positions. Coloijol Seely’s tenure in the office of I lie war ministry seems destined to he oT short continuance. The Westminster Gazette, and tho Daily Chronicle foremost among the Liberal papers, are saying that Colo nel Seely must relinquish his port folio. The name of John Burns is discussed most often as his probable successor. That a. Democratic government could he carried to such lengths ns to give supervision of the army into the hands of the sturdy character who came into the limelifht first ns a labor agitator, would have been un thinkable a decide ago. Yet a recog nition of the soldier as the same plane with ihe officer. In the charter rights and duties which the govern ment proclaimed today is a long step towards the same levelling of the classes. Excitement Over Crisis. The PannnV debate in Washington, which ordinarily would have been read here with equal Interest to thnt which it excites in the United States, is passing almost unnoticed in excite ment* over crisis, and even the suffra gettes are being Ignored. The king's actions and attitude dur ing the crisis gradually are becoming known Radical and laborite attacks on the king for his alleged Interfer ence In politics have subsided. The king followed his ministers' advice from the beginning of the o.l3==^^ir|S: Hi /If v -> flli I!, i iZ\ |y7y^ home rule controversy While main taining impartially, apparently, he had a personal leaning toward homo rule. Condemn Caraon. The king un.l the members of his court were outspoken In condemning .Sir Edward Carson for organising the Ulster volunteers army, sud resented Ills act In reviewing the volunteers as ttiough they were a regular military body, and In assuming prerogatives, by reason of which the liberals nam ed him "King Caraon." Such an offense, as General Sir Robert linden-Powell discovered when he placed his portrait on post age stamps during the siege of Ma fekitig. Is an unpardonable sin In the eyes of the court. Audience With King, While Premier Aiquhb and Colo nel Scelv recently were closeted with the king. Major General Sir William R Robertson, director of military training at the war office accompa nied by a colleague, visited the place according to reliable Information, and asked to be admitted to the confer ence on urgent business Thu request was granted anti the officers announc ed that they and a majority of the staff officers would resign Immediate ly unless the government made its lienee with the Cnrragh officers. Premier Asquith’s conciliatory Statement to the Times, the first In terview which the premier has grant ed In office, was the result of the im pression that this ultimatum had been delivered. 1 ‘MATTER OF MINUTES, NOT hours; is wire Villa's Teleqrani at 10:30 P.

('lie telegram received from General Villa urged that the hospital supplies be rushed to the front. The cost of his victories is known to have been heavy, and the fact that more hospital supplies must be sent from here, .de spite the large store which Villa took with him on the campaign adds con firmation. The Zaragoza Brigade which left Juarez 1.300 strong. Is snid on excel lent authority to have lost 25 per cent in killed and wounded. Some of the loss was at Sacramento, when Gener al Bennvldo* was hewing his way In to Gomez l’nlacto and some when the dash into Torreon was made.

Sixteen Coaches. Chihuahua, Mexico.—Evidence of the severe resistance which the rebels met from the federals outside of Torreon was brought here Saturday with the first two trainloads of reb**l wounded. Sixteen coaches filled with wounded soldiers wrapped in blankets and blood stained bandages reached the city as the vanguard of a long line of wounded. Three hundred rebel wounded.

They reported a total of about one thousand wounded on their side, with an unknown number of dead.

Those accounts agreed that the first firing resulted In a Federal victory. After five days’ fighting Villa had failed not only to enter Torreon proper, but had not taken Gomez Fala cio, a suburb. Lead the Way. Most of the wounded xvere soldier* of the Zaragoza brigade, commanded by General Aguirre Benavides, which undertook to lead the way- through the heavy federal cannonading out side Gomez Palacio. These soldiers were mowed down, killed and wounded by scores, according to the stories told by individual soldiers. They were sent out to almost certain death to draw the federal fire, so the federal.-) might be located for an attack from, other points. Many wounded dl#*l and the dead simply were covered with loose eprth without the digging of graves. "He'll meet us at Torreon,” said one youthful soldier, as he crawled out of the train with head, arms and legs xvrajwed In rags, but with a grim stnilo on his face. He was one of the many small boys xvho had Joined the Zara gofet- brigade. Continuous Procession. As the train with its freight of muti lated men neared the city every pub • lie, conveyance in Chihuahua was or dered to the station. These formed in line and soon a continuous prooessio i of wagons and coaches passed from the station to an abandoned warehouse where the wounded were stretched on cots and on the floor. Most of the hotels xvere filled with wounded offi cers. Pitiable as their condition was, it xvas noticeable that all of the wounded had Seen first aid treatment before they xvere started northward. This xvas regarded as marking an advance ment in the treatment of wounded In Mexican revolutions, for in previous fights fexv of the wounded ever xvere treated on the battlefield at all.
