Rebel Field General Is
Blocked BY Lack of
Ammunition.
ON ORDER OF CARRANZA
Estrangement of Two Leaders
Has Reached Breaking
Point, Say Agents.

Ell Paso, Texas, June 29.-Lack OF
ammunition has blocked General
Villas march toward Mexico City.
Villa, fresh from victory at Zacatecas,
returned to Torreon, bringing his en-
tire army with MIN. His relations
here, unquestionably caused abandon
ment of his campaign.
The Carranza-Villa arrangement
has reached the breaking point, they
asserted, in that Carranza has declined
to allow Villa to import cartridges for
his men and shells for his artillery
through the port of Tampico, the only
entry way for ammunition which revo-
lutionists may use, as the border Is
still closed to them by the embargo of
the United States border patrol.
Conference May Adjourn.
Washington, D. c., June 29.-De-
spite continued expression of hope
that plans for Mexican mediation viii
not fail, considerable apprehension
was shown today in official circles.
Considerable significance attached
to the fact that mediation conference
plans will take a recess unless there
is some definite assurance from Car
rama by tomorrow that his agents will
meet the Huerta delegates and repre-
sentatives of the United States on
plans for provisional government out
lined in the recent protocol. Carran-
za's latest reply asking for time to
consult the generals who participated
in the plans of Guadalupe probably
will reach Niagara Falls tomorrow, 1t
is said. Continued reports of a wild
ening breach between Villa and Car
rama served to disturb officials here.

to the poor of Midhurst. in Sussex. by
the Rev. F. Tatchell. vicar of the par
ish. He has turned an old vicarage

they could afford for lodgings To

The room we entered was a general

cooking and sleeping department.
There was but one bed and Betty
had to sleep in it with her mother,
who was too weak to sit up. An
open cuspidor sat where it would be
conveniently near the bed, which
placed it by the stove, where their
food was cooked. The mother, who
was suffering in an advanced stage of
tuberculosis, did not like cold air, and
her querulous demands causes Betty
to keep the door and windows closed.

EXPLAINS COST OF LIVING.
(COntributed)

The writer noticed that others have
"a system to reduct the cost of living
by a warning Of don't do certain
things. But while think this advice
is good, am satisfied the public is as
we'll posted as the one giving the ad-
vice. In his statement he avoids the
most important feature, that of paying
cash, and this is more on the line of
reducing the cost of living than his
idea that all merchants are dishonest
and must be watched. do not believe
there is merchant in this city who
is in the habit of giving short weights,
or that has any inclination to do so.
AS far as the warning he gives the
public regarding the weight of marked
packages is concerned is uncalled for,
as every merchant knows that such is
the law. A the advice he gives in ref
erence to weighing the paper that the
goods are wrapped in, is far-fetched.
as most scales are not only tested ev-
cry month by a state officer, but the
platforms of most scales are glass and
do not need paper to keep the article
clean and sanitary If the commits
sioner of weights and measures of the
city OF New York gives the taxpayers
and merchants that pay his salary as
square deal as the business men of
the country give the consumers no one
will complain. | suppose this govern
ment officer is the only honest per-
son living in his own estimation, but
we are satisfied that the reputation of
the business men of the United States
is as good as that of the politician who
is the author of How to Keep Down
the High Cost of Living"

FRENCH REPORT PROGRESS

London, Dec. 15.-The most strik-
ing feature of the days news is the
candid admission by the Austrian gov
eminent of the defeat of the Austrian
army in Servia and the apparent aban-
donment of it's third attempt to invade
the territory of its Slav neighbor, and
the unofficial information from Nish
that the Servians, after a bitter fight,
have recaptured Belgrade. While at
tributing their failure to the enemy's
superior force, the Austrian war Office
plainly announces an extended retire
ment, with heavy losses. This indi-
Gates that the Austrian army will as
sumo defensive line to repel the
Servians.
The Servians claim to pressing
home their victory with more captur.
ed prisoners, and have driven part of
the invading army across the Drina
river. Following this comes the unof-
fetal announcement that they have re-
taken Belgrade.
