Carranza Will
Direct Campaign
Against Guaymas

HERMOSILLO. Dec. 29.-General Ven
ustlano Garranza, the constitutionalist
chief, left here today for Carbo, midway
between Hermosillo and Nogales, on the
Arizona border Tho reason for his un-
expected departure for the north was not
made known.
The insurgent campaign is directed
against Guaymas, the California gulf
port in southern Sonora, which has been
held so stubbornly by General Pedro
Ojedas federals This was announced
from the military headquarters here to-
day, simultaneously with the departure
for the south Of the entire First regiment
of cavalry which set out on the march
instead of entering.
Already there are in the vicinity Of
Guaymus more than 1000 rebel infantry
for the most part composed of Yaqui and
Mayo Indians who have eXcelled III
the fighting in Sonora during the pres
ent revolution The cavalry was left to-
day to be used for scouting.
The desertions from the federal garrison
at Guaymas have encouraged greatly the
insurgent commanders. Three federal ar
tillery men arrived early today at the
insurgents base at Maytorena and re-
ported that most of Ojeda's gun crews
had deserted their posts. This. II was
believed. would. cucumber the federal ar
tilery.
It was reported also that only one Of
the federal gunboats remains in Guaymas
bay.
Constitutionalists may use some heavy
artillery in an effort to eliminate the dan
ger Of bombsrdment of the town from
the water. The location of Guaymas, set
deep on a range of hills, always had
rendered it difficult to approach, espe-
cially in face of fire from the bay, but
the Importance OF capturing the town to
renew railroad communication between
Sonora and Sinaloa has led military Of
ficers here to determine to make an at
tempt at investment, and possibly an as.
sault of the federal position.

DIR. Goshen said in part:
Henry Ward Beecher owed his
greatness to the fact that he had a
great father and a deyout mother.
His father, Lyman Beecher, was the
leading preacher and reformer of his
day. His mother was a reserved
and gentle woman, whose sweetness
gave him just the qualities that were
needed to supplement the great quail
tiles OF intellect bequeathed to him
by his father,
In that day the so-called orthodox
party, led by DR.. Wilson. gave Ly-
man Beecher not q moments rest, It
was believed that Adam had been
put on trial for the whole human
race and once Adam had sinued this
sin was conveyed to his posterity.
