Battle Expected Before
Sunday

FL Paso, Sept. 24-Border towns
are being seized by agents of Villa
and the customs receipts taken in
the name of the new revolution. Am.
munition is being rushed across the
border, recruits are going home, and
the machinery OF another Mexican
revolution, the fourth, is now in full
operation.
All night Wednesday troop trains
arrived and departed from the Juarez
yards. All troops in western Chilhua-
hua, even those who were crossing
Santa Rosa Pass into Sonora, were re
called in order that they might be
held in readiness should Carranza
start movement against Villa from
the direction of Mexico City or Mont
Grey.
No open fighting has yet occurred,
but it Is expected before Sunday. Hip

bitter engagement Carranza has the
Gonzales brigade in Monterey. villa
is sending his own brigade and Ofte-
gas, his two crack commands, south
in anticipation of an effort to invade
the zone north of Torreon.
Former Foderals are flocking to VII
las tri-color This strange turn OF
affairs has a two-fold reason. One is
Felipe Angeles, the former Federal,
who is Villas chief adviser. and who
has strong following even among
the Federals. Also the Federals who
have lost property see a chance to re-
cover their posses by going with vii
la.
Even Felix Diaz is hurrying here to
make known his intentions. The re-
lease OF the Federal prisoners at Fort
Wingate. n. NJ, is expected to add
fuel to the revolutionary flames, for
all of these men are fighters by pro-
fession and many are expected to join
Carranza's forces at Piedras Negras.
Even Salazar Maxine Castillo. and
Rodrigo Quevedo are expected to join
Carranda for foar OF being executed il
caught in Mexico by Villa.
Gen. Alvaro Obregon, the Sonora
commander of the Constitutionalists
is coming to the border and his move
ments are being watched closely. Vii
la has 10000 men under arms at the
present time, and will have $4,000 by
Saturday. Opposed to these are
more than an equal number of Carran
"a troops.
Francisco Carbajal, Provisional
President Of Mexico from the time of
Hue,ta's resignation until Carranza
assumed the place. is also on his way
to FL Paso to confer with officers of
Gen. Villa. This was announced to-
day by Carranza officers on advices
from agents at San Antonio.
Carranza supporters declared that
through the influence of Gen. Felipe
Angeles, Carranza's deposed Secre-
tary of War, the financial backing of
the old Diaz political party was being
allied with the new Villa revolt.
Gm. Aware Obregon did not arrive
today, as had been announced in
telegram from Gen. villa. 1t was de
clared that Obregon remained a pris-

All telegraphic and railroad traffic
was suspended today south of Juarez

Paris, Sept 24-Frencn cavalry
has cut General Won Klucks line of
communication between St. Quentin
and Cambria. The Allies Ranking
movement has driven the Germans
from Peronne. There are indications
that the German extreme right wing
is being forced back eastward toward
Cambria, Bouchain and Domain by the
army of Paris while a Britsh-French
army continues its drive northward.
The battle OF the Aisne, now in its
twelfth day, shows distinct advance
by the Allies at the west end OF the
battle line, an unbroken deadlock in
the center from Craonne to the plains
of Chalons, and violent but indecisive
fighting at the east end. 1t is report
ed from London that the German left
wing has advanced from Montfaucon
and has recaptured Varennes. The
Germans have made no progress in
their attempt to break through the
barrier fortresses from Verdun to
Nancy and Luneville.
Most positive news comes from the
Allies left. where unquestionably the
turning movement designed to envel-
op or shatter Won Kluck has progress
ed from ten to twenty miles in the
last twenty-four hours. Government
reports are guarded. but evidences
multiply that the French are getting
in behind Won Klucks extreme right,
where the battel line is north and
south, while an allied army hammers
at his center and left, where the bat
tie line is east and west. Reports
from Lille and Nalenciennes hint that
Uhlans are blowing up bridges be-
tween Amiens and Arrss, to the
northwest of Peronne, further indi-
cation of withdrawal.
Despite slow gains at the west it
becomes more evident daily that the
Germans will spend their last ounce
cd position from Laon to the ridge of
the Argonne. The arrival of General
Won Boehm means determined resis-
lance to the thanking movement while
General Won Kluck gathers his forces
for more stubborn struggle north of
Craonne. The Germans have 100000
men at their right and center, but the
Allies are strengthening their mum
befs hourly.
There is some uneasiness as TO
events at the east OF the line, where
the Crown Prince Frederick William.
heavily reinforced. is undoubtedly
moving strongly against Verdun. to
cooperate with the Crown Prince of
Bavaria. who is assaulting the barri-
er forts southeast OF Nerdun. But
the government and military critics
appear confident that the French
right will hold long enough for the
turning movement on the left to be
accomplished. In the Vosges rains
are turning to snow. This will halt
operations and is an advantage to the
Allies.

too old for the task? Just think OF
having a hand in constructing a light
house that gives light to the whole

be- done with the brick that have no
scholar to put them in place;
shouldn't be surprised If holes in the
