Nogales. Nov. 15.-It was said at
constitutionalist headquarters here
today that successful attack on
Juarez had been expected and made
at the same an assault was made on
Chihuahua City. The news of the
fall of Juarez was received early to-
day and celebrated by General Car
rama and officers. Carranza an
nounced that simultaneous with the
attack on Juarez, Generals Pablo
and Gonzales attacked Victoria, the
capital of the state of Tamaulipas.
Investigation here fails to disclose
the foundation for the reports from
Mexico City that quantities of arms
and ammunition had been allowed to
cross the border here. There was no
relaxation of the border patrol, which
would make it impossible to snug
gle munitions of war of any consid-
cradle quantity.
General Carranza told Callers
yesterday he hoped to be able to an
nounce today the fall of two more
cities, Culiacan having fallen yester-
day. Little attention was paid to tho
remark until today when it was be-
lieved that Juarez and chihuahua
we're the cities referred to.

dresses were made by the Rev. John

ganize, The chief business transact
ed at this preliminary meeting was the

ciety, which was taken up article by
article and carefully considered. The
OBJECTS OF the society, as set forth In
its constitution. are: To increase the
membership, efficiency and influence
OF the Sunday school and bible classes

or the missionary and social service
work OF the national church: to circu-
late wherever possible church periodi-
Gals. and other religious literature. to

der whose direction various sub-com-
mittees will work. Another meeting
Will be held next week at which per-
manent officers will be chosen. all
committees appointed, and the work
begun. In the opinion of many, this
is the most important move made by
