REBELS SHOW LACK OF GEN.
ERALSHIP AND GET INTO A TRAP
econtinued From Page one,

any better generalship in the future
than they have shown to date and that
the federals viii make no plumbers and
allow them to escape.
InsurrectOs Lose Opportunities.
The insurrectos have had every
chance to show their generalship; to do
for themselves and they have failed.
1t is true that in every battle fought
so far, the rebels have either been the
victors or have at least fought a draw
with their adversaries, but all the
fights have been give and take" af-
fairs; no advantage has been taken of
any ground gained. The federals have
shown no brilliant generalship either;
in fact the federals have shown a great
deal of stupidity-they have walked
into traps and they have been slow TO
take the field-but they have never
had the opportunities presented to
them that the rebels have had.
Rebels Have Had Advantages.
The rebels first had a clear field
They opened the fight at Gomez Pa
lacio by capturing the town; at Parral
they had a chance to take the city and
ing themselves in either of these
places. they would have had the ad-
vantage in fighting an attacking force.
By holding these places, especially
Gomez Palacio, they would have been
able TO cut the railroad, to have met
the federals as they came north from
Mexico City, and might have captured
ammunition trains and mountain guns
that have been coming through un-
molested. Chihuahua was at their
mercy, according to general opinion,
for several days. Civilian guards were
hired to stand watch over the city.

tedly unable to hold the town against
the rebels if they had attacked. 1t
was a week, almost, before federal re-
Inducements began arriving at Gomez
Palacio and chihuahua in numbers
sufficient to be dignified by the name
of army. There were ammunition and
field pieces stored in Chihuahua; arms
of the federal soldiery and a chance to
tear up the railroad and prevent the
further movement of troops. But none
of this for the rebels; they drew back
into the hills; the attacks upon Gomez
Palacio and Parral were apparently
made just to attract the attention of
the federals- and draw them into the
rebel country. They succeeded but
what did the rebels gain? They got
back into their own country, but they
are surrounded and their ammunition
supply is cut off. They may kill many
federal soldiers before the end comes,
but their doom is written; it must be
federal victory eventually, even if the
federaIs just wait till the rebels shoot
out all their ammunition. The federals
apear TO an unbiased observer to be
able to win without making an attack
they may be attacked and forced to
fight, but if they will just stand guard
well. the rebels will soon shoot them
selves out and be at the end of their
resources.
Governments DISADVANTAGE.

the inability of the Mexican federal
to put it down as it ex-
pected, in a short time. cannot be de-
MED 1t is a serious condition in any
when a band of men can defy

hills and allowing the federals to sur
round them and cut off their supply Of
ammunition, they must certainly fail
eventually unless some new and par
ticularly brilliant leader pilots them 20
victory or some laundering federal
commander permits them to escape.
Revolt in Small Area.
The revolt is confined absolutely ID
that section of chihuahua west Of the
city of Chihuahua and south Of Ell
Paso with the exception Of a small
region in northeastern Chihuahua near
the Texas border). In this region the
entire country may virtually be said
to be in revolt Very few adult
Mexicans in the entire region are III
sympathy with the government except
some of the big hacienda owners.
Many not actively in the saddle in the
cause Of the insurrectos are secretly
their friends. Many are not in action
because of lack of arms; many others
for other reasons, but the almost unan-
imous sentiment of the native popula-.
ton in the affected region is rebel
lious. The insurrectos are at home and
are fighting on their own chosen
ground. They have their families and
friends to feed them and give them
shelter and help them to spy upon the
federals; they are all good riders and
are accustomed to the mountains; they
know their country like a city police
man knows his beat.
The Ammunition:
At present they have plenty of am
munition, but when they expend the
supply on hand, the question arises.
where will they get more?" They
have drawn the federals into the
as they said they would, to
fight at a great disadvantage on insur-
gent territory, but in drawing them in,
the insurgents have drawn about
themselves a Gordon of guards that abb
so1utely cut off their supply of am
munition. They have not a port of
entry through which they can bring
contraband. They are guarded on
every side Soldiers from Sonora guard
in the rear; soldiers from Durango
guard on the south; soldiers from Chi
huahua hem them in on the east and
the soldiers from Juarez and other
border towns, and United States peace
officers are watching the border so
that all sources of supply are cut off
from that direction. The rebels are at
home. but at the rate in which they are
using up ammunition, they will soon
be without the necessary sinews Of
war and then the end of their cause
can well be seen
This condition is on the presumption
that the rebels will not be able to show

at ParraI the heaviest loss was among
the rederals or defenders Of the towns
as no troops were encountered at the
TWO latter places In the fight at
Fresno. just out of Chihuahua. the
rebels seem to have lost none white
the 1ederals lost seven killed and three
wounded At San Andres. where the
insurrectos wrecked a train and fired
ito carload of soldiers, ten federals
were killed and the rebels lost none.
AT Pedernales, west of chihuahua
When the insurrectos took the town
from the small garrison that held the
place, the federal loss was heaviest. At
Cerro Prieta, the first big battle. the
same thing occurred. At Nal Paso. the
biggest tight of the war" the federals
walked into an ambuscade and were
snot 10 pieces while the insurgent loss
is said to have been none. In the
fighting throughout the region around
Pedernales and out from Pedernales
the rebel loss is said to have been
the IghteSt each time. At Mulatos
east of Ell Paso on the Texas border
the federals left seven dead and
carried off three wounded, while none
OF the rebels were killed. At San Car
los, in the same region, the rebels are
reported to have won, but the loss ON
neither side is given In a fight near
OJinaga one federal was wounded At
Namaquipa, west of the Mormon col
onles, the rebels took the town with
out the loss of a man and are said TO
EaVe wounded several federals. The
rebels have followed the tactics
learned in boyhood in the mountains
TO fight from behind objects-the In
dlan method. In most of their fight
ing they have surprised the federals
and have selected their own time and
place to do it and have usually had
good cover, but they have not followed
up their advantage to any great ex-
tent, IL any. When Navarro fell back
from Cerro Prieto with tired and ex-
hausted army, the rebels camped near
Dy and apparently made no attempt to
press their advantage; they merely
continued their tactics of guerilla
lighting; merely harrassed Navarro
and his men, AT Nal Paso, after fight
ing the Guzman command back into
retreat, they made no attempt appar- !
emily, to come from their places of |
concealment behind the powders and
take any prisoners or arms or ammu- f,
milton. They have never had out any
scouts to keep them posted on the |
exact movements OF the federals In a |
general way, they have known from |
which direction an army was approach |
ing, but no federal scouting parties
have been annihilated, no advance or |
rear guards attacked They have al |
ways confined themselves to desultory |
attacks upon the main columns of |
soldiers
1t Is rebel army without a general |
and no victory can be won without a |
commander

Precautions Against Forest Fires.
The regulations of the New York
State Forest, Fish and Game Com
mission applying to fires might well
be strictly adhered to by campers and
sportsmen in any part of the country.
They are, in part, as follows:
"The State expends large sums in
preserving the forests as a pleasure
resort, and asks those seeking its
pleasures to contribute their share
by guarding carefully against fire.
Fires will be permitted for the
purpose of cooking, warmth and in
sect smudges on state land standing
timber shall not be used to build
fires. Fires must not be started on
the leaves; all combustible material
must be cleared away five feet from
fire. A sand beach or dry creek bed
is the safest fireplace. Fires must
be thoroughly quenched, not covered
up or stamped out. The ground be-
meath should be saturated with
water. Fires must not be stared
against stumps, trees or near piles of
logs or brush.
Fires other than those mentioned
above are absolutely prohibited.
Caution must be exercised against al
lowing fires to originate from use of
cigars and pipes"
During midsummer it is hard
enough to keep down forest fires
arising from other causes than neg
lect and foolhardiness. During a dry
summer many fires start from natur-
al causes. A person who has not
been in the woods during bad sea-
son of fires can not realize how seri-
Gus conflagration can grow out of
spark in an hours time, if conditions
are right. And it does not always |
happen, as it sometimes does in
Maine, that there are plenty of fire
