Gomez Palacio, Mex, March 24.-(9

desperately, but the impetuosity of the
rebels onslaught was finally beyond
their power of resistance
The rebels followed hard on their
heels as they ran for Torreon. General
Villa did his utmost to get between
them and the city's defenses, but this
was too much for him to accomplish.
Many were cut off and killed or taken
prisoners, but the main body got safe
ly behind the Notifications, taking
with them, it was believed, all their ar.
tillery, except a few small mountain
guns abandoned on the slopes Of Cerro
Del Pillar.
Keeps Up Fight Increasingly.
Villa gave neither his own men nor
the enemy time for an instant s repose,
and the attack on Torreon began as
soon as his men, at the double quick,
got within range of its defenses.
The general himself was in the sad
die all night, except during a brief in
terval when he visited Bermigillo to or
der fresh supplies and send messages to
the rear. He was constantly ordering
up fresh troops to prevent the slightest
lull in the fighting, during which the
federas ght rest.
His early estimate of the federal's IS
losses was 1900 in killed, wounded and
captured, His own he did not state,
General Benavides reported to him
that he had driven back every federal
outpost east Of Torreon and controlled
all the railroad lines running in that
direction With his compliments to
General Villa, he expressed the hope
that he might meet the latter at lunch

You may suffer from some form of indigestion without realizing what the real trouble is, and if you have dull, aching pains in the head, a gnawing or burning sensation in the region of the stomach or heart, accompanied by an indisposition for exertton, physical or mental, a troublesome dry cough, and an impaired appetite-an of which are symptoms of indigestion-you will Ind prompt relief in a single dose of Phos- pho-Pepsin, the new remedy that posi- lively makes a sick stomach well and makes it possible for you to eat just what you like without unpleasant re- suits following each mouthful.
 Phospho- -Pepsin is entirely unlike anything you have ever before used. It is a well balanced prescrip- ton, scientifically correct and em- braces all the elements necessary to produce a healthy, active normal con- dition of the stomach and digestive tract. It contains no opiates or habit forming drugs and is as harmless as

MUNICIPAL FINANCES.

There is no city which cannot profit from the municipal financing of others but it is with regret that horrible examples of the manner in which city affairs are administered are constant ly appearing. The manner in which cities rush headlong into debt without any provision for meeting the obliga- tions when they become due is prac- tice which should be given deep thought by every community. An eX- ample of such financing is furnished by Jersey City where forty years ago a bond issue of half a million was fioated for the laying of new water mains Since that time the city has paid in interest on these bonds the sum of S1 400 600 or nearly three times their face value They have been do- ing business on other peoples money and have been paying well for it. but the worst feature is that the first of May is the date for the maturity of the bonds and no provision has been made for meeting the payment thereof The debt still hangs over the city with the large yearly interest account.
 The wisdom of establishing a sinking fund for the meeting of those bonds when they fall due should have been foreseen. It is just such methods as this which calls for the introduction of business and efficiency into muni- cipa1 government. Such are not the methods which are pursued by suc- cessfnl business houses. To operate private business along such lines would invite bankruptcy. There are many such bond issues which have been fioated and maintained under similar circumstances as that at Jersey City but each and every one should awaken a city to the importance of proper and businesslike financing.

THE cAMINETTI ACTION.

Just how much embarrassment or trouble may be caused the administra- ton by the statements of Commission CT General of Immigration Caminetti concerning Asiatics, after Secretary of State Bryan had requested that such questions be not raised while import ant negotiations looking towards an adjustment of the Japanese matters were underway will depend upon the notice which is given to it.
 When Commissioner Caminetti de- nounced the Japanese 1aborer and re- ferred to him as a menace to the entire country he did so doubtless in re- sponse to the attitude which is main tained in California and with consid- eration for the states situation rather than that of the country and the re- quest of the cabinet member who has but recently been highly commended by the president. It is true that MT. Caminetti advocated the exclusion of all Asiatics whether they are Hindus or Japanese, but at this time it was, in the opinion of the secretary of state poor policy to irritate unneces- sarily a sore spot.
 It was through a son of Commis- sioner Caminetti and the influence the connlSSloHef NdS dole lo use ludl tWo other members of the cabinet were placed in an unfavorable light. just after the opening of the administra tion. His action now in the face of the warning by another and leading member of the cabinet is like placing an obstacle in the way of smooth oper ation of governmental departments. In view of the existing circumstances his course is headed not only against Secretary Bryan, but against the pres ident, and can hardly be expected to promote harmony

CANADIAN PARCEL POST.

IL is a compliment to the manner in which parcel post has been inaug- urated and extended in this country when Canada moved by the impression which it has made upon the dominion virtually adopts and puts into oper- ation our system. For many years the need of such an addition to it's postal system has been advocated, but it was not until this country demonstrated it's value and possibilities that it re- ceived the proper recognition across the border. Canada has not only been actuated by our efforts but it has profted by our experiences and has set it's new system in motion upon the principle that it must be self support ing. The result is that rates are some what higher, the limits of weight are less and there is an additional charge for delivery by carriers. These are precautions which are taken on the side of safety rather than for the at traction of greater business until it has been fully determined upon what basis it can be operated without loss.
 As it was in this country at the time of inauguration the most important constGeration in connection with the Canadian service at the present time is that it has been put into opera ton. The start has been made and it is from the actual operations and tests that it can be best adjusted to the needs and conditions of the country. Canada cannot expect the volume of business of this country but there is every reason for belief that it will prove relatively as successful there as it has here, even to the point that the inter change of such business may result at no distant date

PRESENT DAY THEATRIcALs S.

It is a matter of frequent comment that there has been a decline in the atricals in the so-called ''one night cities and expressions of regret that there cannot be return to that class of attractions. Just why there has been that change and how soon any return can be expected of the big, shows is all summed up in the fact that there are today 18000 moving picture houses in the United States providing entertainment at five and ten cents for twenty million people every day. It is this class of attrac- tion, with the price, which has taken away sufficient interest in the previous type of theatricals to make the plac- ing of companies on the road a bus mess venture of decidedly uncertain possibilities
 It is the moving picture houses to day which make widespread appeal to the people. Interest Is occasio onally aroused in the big attractions but it Is quite evident that those from whom no small amount of patronage Is looked for to make the legitimate dramas go have not received their fill of the movies. Until they have and there is a genuine and widespread yearning for the star plays the old time the atrical days are not likely to return, if they ever do.
 The large number of picture houses show that the owners thereof are ca tering to the demands of the people. It is what the great majority are after and as long as it is, the necessity of supplying it Is simply taking care of business The moving pictures wield a strong influence and can be made of important educational value if they are maintained at the proper standard. It will be only through decay and in 1udicious use that their popularity will Wane

SAFETY. oR TIE RuIEs

When so much is left to good judg- ment in the matter of navigation, it IS rather difficult to understand the situation whereby it was possible for the captain of the ilI-fated Monroe to have intimated that it was his ac- ton in observing the law which caused the loss of forty one lives. or that those lives would have been saved if he had disobeyed the law If such 9 knowledge or the situation was in the possession of the Monroe's cap tain in time to have made such a cal culation before the accident, no chance for the making of such a statement ought to have existed The disobs- dience of the rules on the side of safe ty is too seldom recorded, Rather is it that too little consideration of the rules and regulations is the great cause or disasters on land and sea.
