VILLA STILL AFTER
FLEEING FEDERALS
DECLARES THE FEDERALS SHALL
NOT REACH THE BORDER
WITHOUT A BATTLE.
SITUATION AT WASHINGTON
Foreign Nations Ask v. S. About End
ing of Waiting Policy
Other War
News.

Juarez, Mex, Dec. 8.-Instead of oc
cupying Chihuahua, thersta capital
General Francisco Villa with his 1000
north of the city and returned hur.
riedly to Villa Ahumada, the telegraph
station, to dispatch more men in pur-
suit of the federals retreating toward
Ojinaga, on the border
A garrison Of 500 rebels occupy the
fort at Ojinaga and General Villa said
his soldiers would not permit the fed
erals to reach the border or cross over
into the United States without fight
His purpose is not only to capture the
federal troops but also to seize their
arms and equipment. The federals,
however, will be in majority unless
they are overtaken by the rebels.
General Villa expressed his inten-
ton to confscate the money which the
fugitives were reported to have with
drawn from the banks before the evac-
uation. He said he would protect the
considered political offenders. Mem
bers of the Terrazas family were
placed by him in the latter class.
Crowds of people with automobiles
camped at Presidio, Texas, opposite
Ojinaga, in anticipation the refugees,
including the federals, would cross
the river. Should the federals, dis
heartened by their long siege in Chi
huahua, dicide to cross, they would
give up their arms on the American
side.
The report reached Ojinagas the fu-
sitives had been in great distress.
Their route was across waterless
desert plateau, swept by cold winds
at night and sand storms by day.
Reports had it part of the fugitives
had turned away from. the main. body
and were turning to another point on
the border opposite Columbus, n. M.
With them were said to be General
Jose Salazar and Pascual Orosco, both
of whom are under indictment in the
United States for violations of the
neutrality laws.
Villa and Carranza Communicate.
Another reason why Villa returned
northwa~d to Villa Ahumada was to
communicate with General Carranza,
head of the Constitutionalist party,
who is in Sonora.
Pleased at his victories in the north
and confident his projected march to-
ward Mexico City will be marked by
the assertions or excavations by the
federals, General Villa himself showed
no haste to enter chihuahua, the larg-
est city now held by the rebels. Some
of his troops commanded by General
Chao went into the city several days
ago for police duty.

age, the yield per acre of all crops
combined being smaller than in any

ception of 1911 The corn crop, the
most valuable product of this country,
according to the estimates, fell below
2,500,000,000 bushels, which is smaller
than any crop since 1903.

Rural Financial Needs.

When all necessary allowance has
been made for these fundamental fac
tors, it is probably clear that the rl-
raj communities are not as efficiently
served as they should be by existing
financial arrangements. Longtime
loans are needed for permanent in
vestments, such as the purchase price
of farm or for the erection of build
ings. 1t is wise economy to encour-
age the extension of credit for safe
productive use, and no less wise to
discourage the use of capital along
non-productive or speculative lines.

Ancient Architecture.

Herr Knauth, the architect in charge
Of the Cathedral Of Strsssburg, has
shown that the principles of construc-
ton followed by the great cathedral
builders Of former times are identical
with those used by the builders Of the
Egyptian pyramids and are based on
triangulation. The same simple geo
metrical figure underlies all these con-
structions. More than this, Herr
Knauth traces the architectural prin-
ciple in the formation Of crystals and
lays down this formula: THE laws of
proportion in medieval architecture
are the geometrical laws OF crystalli-
Eation."
