Villa in chihuahua


Chihuahua. Mex, January 15-After his
decisive victory at Ojinaga, General Fran
cisco villa, rebel military chief returned
here today with his army. He gave direc-
tions for the early departure of his troops
southwark to attack federals about Tor
reon and to carry the revolution into
southern cities
With General villa We're General Tori
bio Ortega, General Monclovio Herrera
and General Panfilo Natera, who fought
at Ojinaga.
General Villa expects 10 go to Juarez
10 confer with some of his chiefs before
he personally joins the southwark march,
lie probably will go there early next
week
Reports from Torreon said the federals
there, commanded by General Jose Re-
that they probably would flee if the rebel
army appeared in force. The federal
army around Torreon had hoped that
General Mercado at Ojinaga could resist
the rebels, who thus would not be in
position to march south without fear of
a rear attack.
The rebels already occupy the suburbs
of Torreon. Federals were reported
camping in the railroad yards so they
might evacuate quickly.
If only a little fighting is required to
drive them from Torreon. General Villa
said he would proceed at once toward
Zacatecas, the next largest city south
ward. After that the rebel march will
be to Aguas Calentes. general rally
around Guadalajara, the second largest
city in the republic, is contemplated later.
Prospects of peace in the territory held
by the rebel government became such
that the Mexican Northwestern railroad
today ordered many of its employees to
return to their posts. The road will be
operated to the lumber camp at MADEIRA
and extended as rapidly as bridges can
be repaired

Erect Tented City

Ell Paso Tex, January ia tented city
was erected at Fort Bliss today for the
reception of the 4500 Mexican soldiers and
refugees from Oiinaga, Mex. On their
arrival from Preside, Tex, in four or
five days, the soldiers will be divided into
their original commands and placed in
camp here indefinitely, or until the war
department orders their removal else
where.
General Hugh l.. Scott took personal
charge of arranging the camp. About 1860
tents, 10000 blankets and kitchen sup
plies We're provided. 1t will require a
carload of rations every two days to feed
the Mexicans. The army has no author
ity to compel the refugees to work, but
it is expected the Mexican officers will
order their soldiers to maintain the
camp. Wives of the soldiers will do the
cooking.
A wire fence has been strung around
the camp. Within this enclosure the
refugees, virtually prisoners, will be
guarded day and night.

stomach and Appetite"
If the stomach is overworked, its
muscles become tired and gradually
grow weaker and weaker. until they
are unable to take care of the food
properly. The glands fail to provide
the juices necessary to digest the food.
Gases form and cause all sorts of pain,
misery and wretchedness, as well as
extreme danger to the heart.
1t is then that the stomach calls for
help. Ordinary medicines are impos-
sibIe. They not only fail to help the
stomach but injure the entire system.
Medical men have studied the stomach
and have discovered that the digestive
Juices consist largely of pepsin and
nitrogenous ferments. What. then,
would be more natural than to supply
these properties artificially when the
stomach is unable to produce them?
That is the object of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These powerful little
agents relieve the stomach of its bur-
den. thereby giving it an opportunity
to regain it's normal strength. They
tone up, strengthen and revitalize the
secretory glands. mucous mebranes.
absorbing glands and muscular walls.
They restore to the stomach its lost
powers of digestion so that it can
again do its work without assistance.
They contain, in a concentrated FORM
every element necessary to digest all
sorts of food, whether acid or aka
line.
If you experience an oppressive feel
ing just inside the lower end of your
breast bone and extending upward to-
ward your heart. do not hesitate an
instant. Get Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's from the nearest druggist at once
and take one. In a few minutes the
pain will leave you and you will feel
better. Take a tablet after each meal
for several days and your stomach will
once more perform Its duties. All drug
0ists sell them at 500 . box.

To Aid Education.

TO the Clergy and the People of the
State Of Ne0 Jersey:
Upon the opening of our schools and
colleges, public and private during the
month of September, hundreds of thou
sands of young people in the state will
return TO their studies. Though these
educational institutions afford numerous
and various means of securing an edu-
cation many of those enjoying the privi-
leges cannot fully appreciate the provi-
sion that is being made for their training.
In order that pupils, teachers, parents
and citizens may more fully realize the
aims and advantages of our educational
institutions the clergy of the State are
invited to join with their respective con-
gregations in observing an educational
Sunday, the thirteenth of September.
In such a service the opportunities
provided for securing an education
might be explained and the value result
ing therefrom set forth. The need of
cooperation on the part of parents and
teachers might be emphasized to the
end that both may endeavor to search
out and respect the individuality of pu-
pills in the effort to develop those habits
of mind and traits of character which
distinguish the efficient citizen.
The home, the church, and the school
are three great factors in human uplift
and development. Such service
would tend to unity the aim and effort
of home, church and school and would
impress upon the young the desirability
of taking advantage of their educational
opportunities and be helpful in increas-
ing the efficiency of our educational in
situations.
Calvin N Kendall,
Commissioner of Education.

All Will Be Safe.

1t was reported, few days ago, that
Col. Thomas H. Birch, who is stationed
at Portugal, was on his way to the
United States on a leave of absence.
The Burlington Enterprise, yesterday,
had the following:
''Much to the regret of many of our
citizens, Col. Birch will not grace this
city with his presence this Summer, and
all on account of the European war.
''Col. Birch was on his way here, visit
ing different places of interest along the
route, and reached Amsterdam, Holland,
when the news of the conflict was re-
ceived. AT once our esteemed citizen
made arrangements to return TO his post
of duty at Lisbon, Portugal, there to
look after Uncle Sans interests until
the war clouds have passed by.
This action was naturally expected
under existing circumstances, for the
gallant Colonel has never failed to re-
spond to duty's call. +"
So the Colonel inister-Ambassad
will go back to his post of duty and
watch and wait, = possibly attired in
the uniform that was so admired by tn e
people of the foreign country where he is
stationed. 1t is a great relief to know
that Col. Birch ''seen his duty" and
Americans in Portugal may rest in
security, while the United States will
have one less country to give its atten
ton to, for Tommy will be on the job
