TORREON OCCUPIED
BY VILLAS REBELS
REPEATED ATTACKS ON FEEDER.
AL STRONGHOLD RESULT IN
VICTORY.
5000 KILLED AND WOUNDED
Fighting Continued Almost Continu.
ousIy For Six Days.-There Were
About 10000 Men on Each Side and
Both Reported Heavy Looses.

Torreon, Mexico.-Torreon strewr
with victims of a six-day battle is oc
cupied by Villas rebels while the fed
erals are fed. The capture marks
the climax of the first campaign Of
the revolution to GUST V~ictoriano
Huerta from Mexico City. 1t gives the
constitutionalists virtual control over
the whole northern tier Of Mexican
states.
Positions were taken and lost time.
and time again. Several night attacks
sent the federals scurrying from
strong positions, but at daybreak the
captors would be compelled to aban-
don them because of the strength and
accuracy of the enemy's artillery fire,
much of which was said to have been
directed by French and German gun
nerS.
Losses have not been compiled, but
General Villa estimates his W losses
at 500 killed and 1900 wounded, and
the federal loss at 1000 killed and q
900 wounded, with an unknown num-
Der of prisoners.
Villa believes the federals, whom
his cavalry is pursuing to the south,
forms but a remnant of the Huerta
force whose loss he says probably is
close to being total. All the subordl-
nate generals have not yet reported,
however, and until they do just how
many were captured can not be accu-
rately stated.
The battle line was four miles long
and the field was outlined by three
great hills formed like carpenters
square at either end of which lay the
towns Of Gomez Palacio and Torreon.
There were about 10000 men in each
army. The federals had fortified the
hills with rifle pits, trenches and barb
wire entanglements. The nature OF
the ground made it difficult to ecove
the wounded and many of them died
Of thirst and hunger or lack of atten-
ton where they fell. Automobiles
were employed in rescue work but
the could not ascend the hillsides.

All Equally Risht-or Wrong.

Former President Taft told this lit
tie story to illustrate the puzzl1ng
character of a certain public question:
II feel about that question very
much as the man did who came across
a creek which, as some n told him,
was called the Saskaschiqualie creek.
He asked a resident Of the neighbor-
hood how they spelled that name. The
native said: Some spells it n way,
and some spells it another, but in my
judgment there amt any correct way
Of spelling it.'"-Youth's Companion.
