The Mexican factions will bo left to work out their own destiny, the policy of watchful waiting having been altered In no respect. State department, officials looke 1 upon the reported truce, however, a hopeful sign. They believed if the leaders have been able to bring it about, there is Rood reason to be- lievo it coulrl be extended for a lout; enough period to permit the Annas Cnlientes convention to carry out its avowed purpose and arrange for the election of a provisional president to succeed Gutierrez. Although Bryan declined to say to -whom Funston would surrender the custody of' Vera Cruz, it is believed his instructions are to turn the citv over to whatever ie facto authorities appear to receive it. It Is- not the intention of Washington to recognize any faction in Mexico through this With assurances from both factions concerning the guarantees.

Washington officials feel that their responsibility ends there. TRUCE ENDS NOV. 20. MEXICO CITY'Nov. 14.

General Binnco, one of the commissioners named by the Aguas Calientes convention to confer with Carranza, stated last night that Carranza and Villa had agreed upon a suspension of hostilities until November 20, when the convention will reope'n to ratify or nullify the election of Eulalio Guiterrez as provisional president.

Gniterrez and Gonzales conferred yesterday, Gonzales leaving later for Cor- dnha Intprview Parmnzft.

The hope grew today that bloodshed between the Mexican factions might be avoided by a reported truce to November 20. Carranza's call to General Gonzales to come to Mexico City is regarded as evidence that further influences are at work to prevent a new-civil war. Meanwhile Villa is holdin? San Luis Potosi and the railroad to Tampico, resting his army and awaiting develonments. General Bliss, commanding the border patrol, reported the situation unchanged near Nao.

Nov. 14 President Wilson found tonight that" he could not hope to escape. recognition, in New York even, when ho appeared upon the streets as a private citizen.

He tried it and failed. After spending the May playing golf on Long Island, the president returned to the city and announced (hat he intended spending the evening quietly at. the home of a friend, Col. House. He changed his mind and he and House started for a st roll on Broadway.

Ho was toon recognized and such a crowd gathered that the police and secret service men had to force a way for the president. The presient and his friend first halted a few moments to listen to the music of the Salvation1 Army at an open air meeting and right there his incognito came to an end. "It's Wilson, it's President Wilson," shouted the discoverer. Instantly the Salvationists were deserted and the listeners began to follow the president and his host. The secret service men, who had been following at soma distance behind, closed in quickly.

Two blocks further on a volunteer street orator discussing th8 Mexican situation gained the nation's chief executive as an auditor. The 'president smiled and s'arted on as the speaker eulogized villa and exoojiated Carranza. The orator was soon deserted, the throng trailing the president. The next, stop on the Wilson itinerary was a surragist meet-, ing. The feminine speaker was interrupted in her address as the hundreds who followed the president came up.

The crowd shouted for the president and, police joined the secret service men. The president took refuge in the Waldorf Astoria hotel, where Dr. Grayson, his physician, was a guest. As he entered the president turned and waved his han 1, crying "Goodbye, I'm going -to get away from you now."

The battle in I Flanders', which was brought, about by the German attempt- to advance on Dunkirk and 'Calais on the northern coast, of France, commenced, just four weeks ago today and despite terrific fighting and the sacrifice of thousands, the two armies still hold virtually the saint' positions as they did when the first shot was bred. Alter the taking of Antwerp and Ostein! the Germans proceeded with little or no opposition as far as Niouport ou the, Yser canal. Here they found against them the Belgian army reformed, as well us enfilading fire from the monitors, anil they were unable to make progrcs.

of the Indian trcoiis. had gone to France to give tiicm his greeting. Soon, after his ar-i rival he became seriously ill. He lered Irom a severe ciiiil Thursday and pneumonia rapidly developed. His great age, VI years, militated against his recovery, the crisis coming quickly.

News ot the death of Lord Roberts came as entire surprise to England. The veteran's devotion and interest in. the army, his Hard work in this con-: nection ami his seeming good health had been the subejet of- comment since the begirtniiiK of the war. He was the fnost popular military lgure in Great Britain and a national hero without a rival in the affections of the people. Despite his years he never ceased hard work since his nominal retire ment and, as he had often remarked, he lived a rigidly abstemious life that he might preserve his strength for the service of his country.

During the past five or ix years, when a German war clovdMias been growing, he prosecuted an active campaign to persuade the nation to adopt compulsory-military service. His belief was that Great Britain required the training of the whole male population rather on the -plan of Switzerland than longer terms and conscription en forced in tho case of continental mill- tary nations.
