GENERAL ELECTION
MAY END TROUBLE
Surrender of Government to Army
Officers Is Causing Much
Comment

London, March 24.-The dissolution
of the British Parliament has been
fastened by the events of the last few
days. according to the opinion gener-
ally expressed to-day in political
circles. The surrender of the gov
ernment to the officers of the army
who declined to serve against the
Ulstermen is particularly significant in
this connection.
The Irish Nationalists, it is pointed
out, will not accept home rule with
Ulster permanently excluded, while
the government has found it impos-
sible to compel Ulster to come under
Dublin parliament
1t is argued that the only way out
of the difficulty Is to hold a general
election and no one would be surprised
IL the government during the second
reading of the home rule bill next
week should offer to dissolve parlia-
ment on condition that the home rule
the Welsh Disestablishment and the
Plural Voting bills be passed.
The dissatisfaction of the rank and
file of the Liberals with the govern
ments treatment of the army officers
is another factor which is likely to
hasten a general election. Many rad
ica's would like to join forces with
the labor members and make an ap-
peal to the country on the refusal
of officers to act against striking
workmen.
The provincial Liberal papers as is
usual, are even more outspoken on the
subject of the governments surrender
to the officers than are their London

Altoona, Pa, March 24.-Twenty-
four hours after the daring robbery

FIELD HOSPITAL IN
MEXICO IS CROWDED
WITH WOUNDED MEN
Villa and His Rebel Army Attacked
Before They Reach City
of Torreon
By dttoriated Press

Elverjel, Mexico, March 24.--Meet-
ing stubborn resistance at Gomez Pa
lacio, only few miles north and east
of Torreon, General Francisco Villa
and his 10000 rebel troops yesterday
began the most important battle of
the constitutionalist revolution and
the rebel chieftain's mt rch to Torreon
was seriously checked.
To-day the field hospital here is
crowded with wounded which stream
ed into Elverjel as fast as they could
be returned from the front. Given
emergency attention here, the serious
ly wounded were fastened on to the
general hospital at BermeJillo. The
federal loss appears to have been
much heavier than that of the rebels,
but no accurate estimate of their dead
and wounded has been made.
Strongly Garrisoned
Apparently determining to deal
General Villa a crushing blow before
he actually reached the gates of Tor
reon, General Velasco sailed out of
the Invested city under cover of the
guns on the sides of Cerro De La Pillar,
and strongly garrisoned Gomez Pa
locio. Made confident by his easy VIC
tories en- route, General Villa heard
the report from his scouts that Gomez
Palacio was strongly fortified, and
The guns of Cerro De La Pillar were
opened up. Volley after volley from
the federal trenches and the fire of
rebel artillery and small arms opened
the first serious engagement of Villa S
troops and the federals, who hope to
check the march of the constitution
alists to the national capital.
Take Water Tank
The rebel cavalry pressed forward
toward the mountain, and before
many minutes of fighting Villas men
had taken the water tank, securing
their first vantage ground
{ From there they fought on to the
soap factory, infantry
engaging the defending forces within
and upon the buildinrs. Another hour
and the federals retreated to the
Quartet, where the hottest fighting of
the battle took place. Fighting from
the front, gaining ground foot by foot
the rebels finally drove the federals
back again toward Torreon
