ONLY SURE REPORT IS THAT
VILLA is VICTORIOUS

FL Paso, Tex, March 26.-General
Manuel Chao, rebel military governor
of the state of Chihuahua, received
at Juarez early today dispatch from
FL Verjel General Francisco Villas
base in the fighting about Torreon,
stating that the battle about Gomez
Palacio was still raging, but that a
number of Federal batteries had been
silenced. The dispatch added that
the rebels were making progress in
their attack and expected to take
Gomez Palacio for the second time by
morning. -
Rumors and reports are numerous
and each has many believers, but
when run down all have been found
to be based on speculation and no
substantial information.
Out of the mass of rumors, the only
things that seem certain are that Vii
las rebel army carried victorious
campaign right through Gomez
Palacio, the most important Torreon
suburb, and up to the gates of Tor
reon itself; that the federal defenders
suddenly turned and drove the enemy
back through Gomez Palacio; that
the federals displayed strength at
all points that astonished the rebels
and that the fight is still raging on all
sides of Torreon, with the battle cen
ter at Gomez Palacio.

STRIKE EFFECTIVE

The Brickmakers' Union has
shown the value of real consistent
strike. Several days ago the brick
makers went on strike and left the
various brickyards of the city with
only a few thousand bricks on hand.
Now the brick supply has become
exhausted. There is no other with
which to continue work. So out of
$500 members of the Bricklayers'
Union only 300 are at work, accord
ing to A. E. Vorteller, sec'y.
Transfers are drawn into It
through their refusal to handle non
union made bricks and this applies to
workers in nearly al branches of the
building trades.

PLAN BY WHICH
BR|TONUSES men
Details Naval Officers to In
F. significant Ship, But it's
a Promotion.

London. Dec. c.--"Detailed to His
Maiestv's shin President" is an order
frequently seen nowadays. in connec-
,ion with tho names of high officials
nf the British navy. The President
is abou. the least impressive and
terrifying in the kings navy. To the
nnin;tiatcd such an order would seem
to be a reduction for an officer SO a.
signed. Quite the reverse IS true.
TIE officials so detailed have been
called TO assist the admiralty IN I'M
portant duties at headquarters.
The president is a sailing vessel OF
scarcely more than a thousand tons.
and is described in the navy list as a
| stationary ship. an eX-sloop. Ills
moored in the Thames close 70 the
embankment and a stones throw
above Blackfriars bridge. Its My
! active service is to house squads OF
amateur naval cadets from saturoaH
to Monday. But its real importance
in the navy is shown by it's list OF OIL
GERS. which is far and away the most
distinguished in the service.
This is explained by the fact that
everyone in the service Of the admir-
altv must be attached to a ship. II
as some Of the most important duties
in the highest ranks are not connect
ed with any particular ship, the Pres
ident is used as a sort Of legal fiction.
In the official navy list. the personnel
of the biggest superdreadnaught &C.
cupies about half a page. The list
of officers of the little President re-
quires six pages.
The latest notable addition to the
staff Of the President Is Vice Admiral
Sir Percy Scott, whose fast work In
the navy is fairly we'll summed up IN
one Montgomery. He originated
q number Of target practice systems
and invented various mechanical ap.
planes for use in connection with
them. He followed this with the in
vention of his fire director" a secret
and exceedingly valuable system o.
fire control which was adopted by the
British navy a few years ago.
Sir Percy has devoted most OF thu
past ten years to work on this appli
ance, which he is still engaged in per
fecting. His work as the navy's chic
inspector of target practice Is testified
to by the fact that during the tim,
he held that office the average per
centage Of hits increased from 81.
to S1.s7.
