Naco, Ariz.. Oct. Tighten troops
OF United States cavalry are prepared
tonight 10 give battle to AN invading

Naco promised to be transferred from

Inducements for the American forces
were rushed here to-day, six addition

Fort lluachuca, Arizona, being sent
On special trains. at the request OF
Colonel J. +. Guilfoyle, the com

Advised late to-day that one or both

Naco promises 10 be transferred from
tions, Colonel Guilfoyle sent notice to
10th commanders that any Mexican
found on the American .Idc with arms
would be fired on Immediately. The
report here is that the Villa troops,
unable 20 make an effective attack on
the Carranza position in Naco, are
moving to the border, with the idea
Of crossing and attacking the Car
rama position from the rear. The Dor
Ger patrol tonight has been strength
onod with all the troops available on
the American side, and all are
equipped for any emergency.
The Mexican forces, although their
commanders profess TO be friendly to
the Americans, are known here 10 be
taking advantage of every possible OPP
portunity to fire on the American Dor
der guards and to annoy the Ameri-
cans The shooting of three Amer.
cans, two of them soldiers, is well
known TO have been deliberate on the
rart of the MeXicans, and only poor
craftsmanship with rife and machine
gun prevented the Mexicans from
vounding or killing many Americans.
Their guns were directed at the Amer
lean position and were fired when
there were no Mexican troops OF the
opposing army intervening.
Should both Mexican armies cross the
border they would outnumber the
Americans four to ono, but Colonel
Guilfoylc does not appear to be uneasy
General Villa to-day ordered Gov
ernor Maytorena 10 refrain from at
lacking Naco until after the Aguas
Calientes conference. Maytorena was
carving out the orders of Villa and
had Withdrawn his men several miles
from Naco. when General Hill, the Car
rama commander, taking advantage OF
Hills inactivity and thinking the villa
troops were about 20 retire permanent

he disregarded Villas command and Is

causing a clash with American troops.
Hill and Maytorena received large
quantities of ammunition to-day, Hill
getting his through NacO and Mayto'
rena receiving heavy consignment
through Nogales.
People in Naco, ArIz., fearing battle
on the American side, have fed to tho
outlying country, and many are camp

tions of ethics, such as blame for be-
ginning a war or for the manner in
which II is carried on, are worth dis
cussing, for these are matters of opin-
ION. But success or failure in n bat
tie is matter Of fact, and no menda-
cious war bulletins or misleading
headlines can long cover up a defeat.

says Galen NJ Fisher, the American
general secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association for Japan who
has made an exhaustive study Of
cconomisc and social problems here.
II set forth the results of his studies
at the special school at NaruizaWa.
Mr. Fisher thinks that nothing but
radical reform and the adoption of
progressive laws will meet the situa-
ton There are now in Japan a to-
tai Of 47lN17 women and girls en-
ployed in private and government
factories, So per cent Of the total fac
tory force If the country being Wo-
men. or these 50 per cent are girls
under 20, and p per cent under II
years Of age.
The conditions of many Of the fac
tories, Mr. Fisher declares are de-
cidedly unhealthy, with poor light and
ventilation, filled with escaping steam
and noXious yaporS. The factory
dormitorios, in which 20 per cent of
the employees live, are often "as good
breeding places of disease as germ
