NO MONEY, NO FIGHT, IS

Federal Troops, Under General Mer

Make a Rush Across the Line

PRESIDE, Tex, Dec. 1O.-With
General Salvador Mercados north
ern division of the Mexican federal
army in bankruptcy and with the
soldiers threatening mutiny unless
they are paid, every restraint was
enforced today to prevent a general
rush of the federals across the riv-
er from Ojinaga, Mexico, into the
United States territory.
the federals reached the border
with an empty treasury. The fu-
ture of the army was said to depend
upon the nature of responses to ur-
Gent demands for money sent to
Mexico City. General Mercado him
self, before evacuating Chihuahua
and thus turning it over to the re5-
els, gave as one reason for his act
the lack of money with which to
pay his troops. The appearance of
his financial agents on the Ameri-
can side, soon after the arrival of
the troops at Ojinaga and the fact
that General Ynez Salazar and 9th
er officers who communicated with
Mexico City were no surprise to
American officials who were appris-
ed of conditions.

the threatened rush of federal
troops across the border.
Meantime civilian and federal re-
fugees from Chihuahua continued to
pour into Ojinaga in their long
flight from the state capital. Gen.
eral Salazar, one of the seven gen
erals who left their garrison, was
temporarily in command of the lit
tie Mexican frontier village, while
General Pascual Orozco and Gener-
al Mercado were still outside the
post bringing in the rear guard of
the caravan
Reports brought by the refugees
were that the rear of the refugees
column, in its slow progress on foot,
was continually harrassed by the
rebels. The rebels, however, were
IN such a small number they could
do no more than hasten the pace of
the retreating federa1s. General
Francisco Villas detachment, sent
out in an effort to overtake the fed
erals and confiscate the property of
some of the rich civilian refugees,
including that of Luis Terrazas, was
unable to accomplish its purpose. A

to keep the marchers in constant
fear.

is the capital which the architect
has drawn upon in getting out the
plans for his ship. Thus, in the
case of let us say the Nevada, a ship
of 1880 tons displacement is de-
voted to the hull, so much to the
motive power so much to the arma-
ment, so much to the stores and mis-
cellaneous equipment. As the rv-
suit of the .apportionment of weights
to these different requirements, we
have in the Nevada a ship SIS feet
long, o515 broad, protected by 1917
to 1S-inch armor, with sea speed
Of 2O.5 knots and carrying a battery
of ten l4-inch guns. This represents
an allotment of weight to the var
ious elements of the ship which re-
suits in what We believe to be the
most effective battleship, of her dis
placement in the world today.
