ARMY HAS DIFFICULT TASK
Hard to Prevent Arms From Entering
Mexico.

Washington, Dec. 2.-How the
American border patrol has found it
almost impossible to enforce the en-
barge against the shipment of arms
and ammunition into Mexico was de-
scribed in a report from Brigadier
General Bliss, commanding the forces
on the border, made public at the
war department.
Practically the entire population
along the international line, the re-
port said, is in sympathy with the
Mexican rebels and as result large
quantities of war munitions have
been smuggled across in spite OF the
vigilance of the troopers.
General Bliss complained Of the
vagueness of the law, declaring that
the instructions to the army are so
general that too much of task was
imposed upon the troopers and junior
officers. 80

Of Civilians, Including Women and
Children, Are Walking Towards the
United States. ....
Juarez, Dec. 2-Rather than endure
starvation the federal troops have
evacuated Chihuahua City, which has
been under siege for weeks, according
to advices received by General Fran.
cisco Villa, the rebel leader. The
evacuation leaves the city open to pos.
session by the rebels. T..
Reports received by Villa say that
Salvador Mercedo, military governor
of the state, with 1000 federal troops,
has left on foot for Ojinaga, on the
United States border near Maria, Tex.
General Jose Ynez Salazar and Pas
cual Orozco with more than 1000 fed
erals are said to have retreated to
the mountains west of the city and
hundreds of civilians, including wom-
en- and children, have set out to walk
to the United States border.
Besides being The capital Of the
state Chihuahua, with population of
$4,000, is the metropolis of Northern
Mexico.
Neither in the Madero revolution nor
in the present uDriSin has Chihuahua
been taken from the federals.
Bloody Battle 10 Averted.
Had the rebels reached the city and
the federals resisted it was believed
that fight in the city would have re-
suited in great loss of life and prop.
erty. ...
Conditions in the city were said to
be such that life there was no longer
endurable. The Spanish viaduct which
conveyed water from the mountains
was reported to have been destroyed
and the food supply exhausted.
General Villa telegraphed details OF
the evacuation to General Carranza at
Hermosillo, stating that the proposed
advance of the rebels southwark to
Mexico City would now be expedited.
1.-The report of the capitulation of
Chihuahua is authentic" said Valla.
1T came to me in an official dispatch.
1T is my purpose now to send q
force to intercept Mercedo, who is
fleeing to Ojinaga, and also to capture
Salazar and Orozco." ara

only one way to cure deafness, and that is

when it Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
