San Pedro Evacuated.

Juarez, April 10-San Pedro, 40 miles northeast of Torreon, was evacuated by the federales in the face of superior numbers today, ac- cording to a report from General Villa to General Carranza.
 Eight days ago General Ortega, with only a brigade, attacked the town, which lies on a plain and of fers no cover. The command found the federals unexpectedly strong and last Tuesday retreated to await endorsements. These had come up today and an enveloping movement was begun. Detecting this, the fed. erals forsook the city.
 No advices were available as to the whereabouts of General Velasco, who evacuated Torreon eight days ago, but rebels believe he had not joined another force of federals said to be under General Hidalgo in Sal tillo. The refugees from Torreon brought word yesterday that the junction had been formed giving Ve. lasco a combined force of about 12,- 900 men.
 Unconfirmed rumors were afloat today that Tampico had fallen.
 General Carranza, who announced his intention of departing for Chi huahua tomorrow, said he expected to stay there only few days before going to Torreon to establish new headquarters there.
 Another report said a rebel de tachment from the brigade of Gen eral Gutierrez met a detachment of federals at Masmesas, short dis tance north of San Luis Potosi, kill ing 46, the remainder falling back on the main force in the city.

and other foreign-owned plants are in danger from the shells of federal sunboats. At last reports the battle was in progress and shells were fall ing around the oil properties in spite of the urgent protests of Rear Ad- miral Mayo, commanding American warships anchored off the port
 Admiral Mayo has sent one note to the constitutionalist chief direct ing the attack on Tampico and two to General Zaragoza, the federal commander, insisting that foreign property be protected.

 The latest word from General Car ranza was that he was not disposed to overrule General Villas action in ordering the expulsion from Tor reon. Consular Agent Carothers at Fl Paso however, has been in- structed to continue to protest and to say that the United States asks that all cases of obnoxious foreign CTS be settled individually and that deportations be ordered individually and not enmasse because the unde- sirables happen to be Spaniards.
 The Red Cross at Fl Paso re- ported today that the Spanish eXiles had declined assistance. Many refu- gees are persons of wealth and for the present the well-to-do are shar- ing their fortunes with their less fa- Vored compatriOts.
 Meanwhile, officials are without information concerning the reported resumption of fighting in the Tor reon district.

their religious motive was found
a spur to industry and self

such communities abolished. Until
other forms of socialism find such
a substitute, they are likely to prove
futile, as the history of several in

strated.

Reasons for Failure

ons for the failure Of experiments in
socialism were discussed by former
President Taft in an address delivered

The most notable experiment at

socialisms fail, because it found no
substitute for the motive essential to

that is furnished by the institution Of

ural economic adjustment. The plan
was based on the assumption that man
