defeat OF the Torreon federal garrison,

been achieved against federal garrIsons

Conditions Changed.

Southwark the conditions arc somewhat
cha nged. Important cities such as Zacs-
tecas, Aguas Callentes ard San Luis Po
tosi. have federal Earrisons which are
supplied both with ratons and smmuni-
ton direct from Mexico City. Moreover.
communication and railroad facilities for
the shifting OF the federal troops arc avail
able The federal strongholds thus are
more closely knit and can reinforce each
other more readily than they could in the
north.
Another consideration before General
Villa concerns the possible attitude OF
the people in the central states tows rd an
invading rebel army. In the north General
villa has had little difficulty in rallying
the noncombatants TO bis side. In the
central states and cities where the fed
erals have domino ted and where the reb-
els viii have 10 find sources OF food. the
attitude OF the noncombatants remains

deserts 10 which water viii have TO be
carried IN some distances for a hundred
miles. These are also devoid OF cattle,
so that the rebels viii have 20 depend
for relief upon such towns as they leave

RALPH w. TYLER'S AMBITION.
Census Bureau Will Tabulate Holdings
of Northern Afro. Americans.

of Northern Afro Americans.
Washington. - In the fall of 1913
Ralph w. Tyler took up with the d.
rector of the United States census and
urged the matter of giving the home
ownership by Negroes in the northern
states as is done in the southern states.
At that time the director replied he
could not do 1t. Mr.. Tyler's contention
at that time attracted considerable no.
tice from white dailies because of his
insistence that without this data the
wonderful progress Of the race in the
north could not be shown.
Recently Mr. Tyler received the fol-
lowing letter from the director Of cen
sus, which indicates that home owner
ship by Negroes in the northern states
is soon to be collated and made pub
lie:
Mr.. Ralph W. Tyler, National Negro
Business League. Washington:
Dear Sir-You will perhaps remember
that we had some correspondence last fan
with reference to the ownership Of homes
In the United States by Negroes. At that
time informed you that the plans of my
predecessor had been carried out to such
an extent prior to my connection with
the bureau that 1t was impossible for me
to make any change In the presentation Of
figures on the ownership of homes by
Negroes, which included the southern
states only.
am inclosing a Circular Of Informa-
ton Concerning Tentative Program of the
Bureau of Census" on page Of which
Is described the special report on NEGRO
Population" which 1 expect to issue as
soon as l can get to 1t. This report will
be similar to the Twelfth Census Bulle-
tin on Negroes In the United States"
have decided to have information relating
to the ownership of homes tabulated by
color In the remaining sections of the
country. and this special report will show
the ownership Of homes by Negroes in
all states.
Your interest In the work of the census
bureau Is greatly appreciated. Very truly
yours. WILLIAM J HARRIS,
