LondOn.--For three long days, with
out cessation, the Germans have huri
ed their masses against the French
and English along the entire front in
northern France. The French official
view is that these operations, the
fiercest that yet have taken place, are,
by high command, meaning possibly
direct instructions from the emperor
himself.
Their purpose has been to break
through the allied lines, but both the
French and British official reports say
they have failed. From Paris it is an

mans been unable to achieve their OBJ

LEASING PLAN RoUNDLY ScoREC
Permanent Prosperity of West Must
Come From Ownership.

Denver--Positive positions against
the principles of leasing public lands
and public resources were taken in
the conference of Western governors
by Governors Oddie of Nevada, Spry
of Utah and Ammons of Colorado,
They went on record as opposing all
such leasing whenever it is in any way
avoidable.
Leasing, they argued, tends to make
tenants instead of owners, whereas
the permanent prosperity of the west
ern states must be built up on a basis
of ownership rather than of leasing.
Another clash of ideas resulted at
this, for A. A Jones. assistant secre-
tary OF the interior, defended the leas-
ing policy Ownership instead of leas-
irg, he declared, would tend to cause
monopoly, the thing it was most de-
sirable to avoid.

Juarez, Mex.-General Villa took
over the four principal banks of Tor
reon. according to a report which he
telegraphed to this city with the re-
quest that 1t be given to the press OF
the United States.
His prize does not include money or
negotiable securities, however, as the
bankers took the precaution of ship
ping these out when Federal General
Velasco evacuated the city.
He has the buildings and the furni-
ture. however The banks affected are
the Banco Nacional, the Banco de La
guna the German and South Ameri-
can Bank, and the Bank of London and
Mexico.
The most important property left
behind by the Spanards was cotton
said to be valued at 1000 ,0Oo. Word
was received from Torreon that ST.
900 900 was being loaded on trains for
shipment to Ell Paso by General Villa.
1t is stated that the Spanish owners
cannot touch the property If it arrives
here in bond, as is frequently the case.
If it comes bonded for transit through
the United States for shipment abroad
it cannot be recovered, it is said. A
precedent to this effect was estab-
lished sometime ago in the case of a
consignment of hides confiscated by
the rebels and which the former own
ers attempted to recover through the
United States courts.
Among the refugees were three
priests. There are still in the Lag
una district $50 planters on their
farms. They will be gathered togeth-
er at Torreon and also sent out of the
country.
General Venustiano Carranza gave
out statement dealing with the sub
ject of the expulsion Of foreigners,
justifying Villas action and stating
that Spanish property would not be
confiscated.
A similar statement on the subject
of confiscation was made by lsidro
Fabela, Carranza's minister of foreign
relations.
