THE WORM HAS TURNED
Fee;crals Become Aggressive at olIn-
aga After Being Encouraged
by Their Recent
Successes.

[United Press Leased Wire Service.1
PRESIDE, Texas, Jan. s.. Though
there was considerable uneasiness
among members of the Mexican rebel
iunta here as to the whereabouts OF
General Panco Villa, it was believed
today there was no foundation in the
rumors that he had been captured by
the federals.
Villa left Chihuahua City last week
with 1900 men and should have reach.
ed LaMula Pass, south of Ojinaga,
Sunday night.
| The opinion is expressed by military
men that the rebel chieftain may have
encountered federal force of four
/ thousand under General Benjamin
Argumedo, reported recently to be adj
4 vancing to raise the rebel siege OF /
i Ojinaga. If SO, it is possible battle /
/ has been fought south Of LaMula Pass.
Argumedo's troops are reported to
joutnumber Villas forces greatly.
The federals at Ojinaga encouraged
by recent successes are assuming the
aggressive. One thousand troops led
by General Pascual Orozco, left Dim
aga late yesterday, taking the Chi
Ihuahua road towards 1aMula Pass.
1T is believed they went out to engage
Villas forces below the pass or to
effect junction with Argumedo. II
lit be true that ArguInedo has attack.
ed Villa, IT is probabie Crczco's force
has joined the attack. Orozco took 9
wagon train heavily laden with food
considerable length
There has been no lighting in the
immediate vicinity of Ojinaga since
Monday afternoon when the rebels
were compelled by lack of ammunt-
'Ition, to abandon their advanced posi-
tions and retire five miles from the
federal position. No move was made
during the night to attack the city.
This caused General Salazar to be-
ilieve reports that 1000 rebels under
\ General Maclovies Herrera had rein
forced Ortega, were exaggerated. Ii
is now believed only a part of Her.
rera's force has arrived.
I Seventy-two rebels, wounded in the
fighting Sunday night, were brought
Ito the Red Cross hospital today. AL
are in a serious condition. There is
no change in the smallpox situation.
The further spread of the disease Is
not feared and the precautions are be-
ing relaxed.
A dispatch from Ell Paso said an
aeroplane was smuggled across the
river there Monday for use by the con-
atitutionalists before Oiinaga in spy
ing cut the federal position and get
ting the location of guns. Nothing
has been seen here of such a machine.

Our concern should be to make
farm life attractive, not to those
who are going to the city, but for
those who are to remain to pro
duce the nations food. Those who
are on their way to the city will
not turn back, but those who are
making good will stay if social and
economic conditions are favorable
for successful farming. The first
consideration should be the rural
schools, which will be responsible
for the ideals of 95 per cent of our
people, whether they live in the
country or go to the city, Farm
