Goldsmith's Famous Story.
Oliver Goldsmith's famous story:
THE Deserted Village might well be
New Britain this afternoon, so de-.
serted was the business section To-
day the various stores and business
offices were closed for half holiday
and the same will be true of each sue
cessive Wednesday afternoon during
this and next month.
The clerks, thus let loose from their
various tolls, enjoyed the half holiday
in different manners but the clerks at
the Mcmillan store had the best time
of all for they held their annual outing
at Lake Compounce, enjoying varied
program of sports and dancing with
all sorts of tasty refreshments
This evening there will be a band
concert at Walnut Hill park.
This afternoon the CLERKS and pro-
fessional MEN played ball at the park.

THREE DAYS BATTLE
FOR MEXICO CITY
Carranza Forces Entered Capital
on Morning Of July II

washington, July 1.-THE first mar
rative account of the canfure IF
mexico City, was received here today
by General Carranza's agency from
vera Cruz 1t states that the ca rIv
engagements, in which it was reported
Carranza troops were defeated. were
minor fights, during which General
Gonzales was distributing his army for
the final effort
The actual fighting began on the
morning of Thursday, July 8. at Te-
paxpan and from that time until the
finish the constitutionalist forces lost
not a foot Of ground but gained con-
sistently and unihterruptedly," says
the report.
Zorro GOrdo Bombarded.
The fighting of July 8, did not end
until the enemy were behind their en-
trenchments at the Grand Canal and
at Zorro Gordo. There was a heavy
artillery bombardment of Zorro
Gordo all day, but none of the shells
reached the city proper, owing to the
distance.
At o'clock on the morning of
July 9Th, fighting was renewed with a
heavy artillery fire, which shortly
silenced the enemy artillery. The
ezapata guns had ceased firing an in
fontry charge was ordered and after a
severe fight the enforcement OF the
Zapatistas were carried and constitu-
tionalist soldiers smashed their way
into Villa De Guadalupe. In
Guadalupe General Gonzales immedi-
ately established general headquarters
and while this was going on, more
heavy fighting was under way and
c'rong force on the east side of the
city assaulted and carried Penon Hill
ard continued the advance until the
outlying houses of the city proper
were reached.
Zapatistas Defeated.
"On the morning of July 10, General
Gonzales advanced Viedettes into the
city followed by accommodating par
ties, when it was found that the enemy
had evacuated. During Saturday night |
q strong force of constitutionalists was
detached to pursue retreating Zapa-
tistas who were overtaken at Tlalpam |
and defeated.
AT 10 O'Clock on the morning of |
July II, the ccnstitutionalist forces |
under General Machuca entered |
Mexico City only to find that the off,
Gals OF the SO-CalleQ convention gov
eminent had fled in panic to Cuer- |
r4avaca. At once General Gonzales |
issued the decree Of amnesty for all |
and civil, offenders. In the |
four days of fighting the enemy's |
losses were more than 5000 killed and |
many more wounded and missing.
No Representations.
No representations have been made |
since the capture of the capital by the |
Carranza forces, asking for moral sup
port Of the United States but some |
move along that line is not UNI
expected.
Moving Toward Capital
Another column of Villas forces
according to advices to
his agents here, is continuing the |
campaign toward Mexico City. At
ter the capture Of Queretaro yester- |
day, it is claimed they completely iso-
lated Obregon from his base of sup
plies.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

In his current weekly financial re-
view. Henry Clews. the New York
banker, notes that a healthy feature
has been the widening activity and
strength in the stock market of some
OF the leading railroad issues. which
have been long neglected. AT the NC
ment. he writes, railroad traffic is still
below normal, but indications point %
an early recovery which, coupled with
better rates. will probably prove
turning point for the railroads, says
the Wichita Eagle Dividend rumors,
both favorable and unfavorable, have
been current respecting some OF the
prominent issues, but the more fre-
quent Improvement in net results has
impaired a decidedly better tone in
railroad shares, and some substantial
recoveries have already taken place.
THE general business situation at
home is growing more and more en-
couraging." Mr. Ciews continues. We
are sure Of good crops and good prices
The activity of the steel trade which
is now running at nearly 80 per cen;
capacity is also a helpful business FAC
tor, especially in view of better prices.
Throughout the agricultural districts
there will unquestfonably be greater
prosperity than year ago, The pur-
chasing power OF the people is increas-
ing. Owing to the war and ITS sober
ing influences, economy in both the
home and the shop has become gen
eral. Savings are undoubtedly accum-
uIating. These would seek investment
if conditions we're only more settled
and propitious. The war. however, and
SIS grave possibilities impose a decid-
ed restraint upon all new investments
and new enterprises. For the time in
vestors prefer to place their funds IN
securities OF proved stability and
profit: the exception being the ven
turesome few VINO are stalking their
chances upon industrials receiving war
orders. Loanable funds are plentiful
and easy money with prospects OF its
continuance is also stimulating FAC
tor of considerable importance. In
the steel trade, although activity is
largely due TO war orders, the rail-
roads have been more ready purchas.
ers. SO, too. have the building inter
ests. whose orders have been held back
in the hope of securing bedrock prices.
Apparently these were reached some
time ago: hence the outcoming OF be-
lated buyers. Reports from the inter.
ior Indicate a wider distribution in all
eiaple products. and the cotton goods
trade has opened the season with en-
couraging results. Numerous strikes
occurred in various parts of the coun'
try, frequently ending in concessions

with which this was greeted seemed to
indicate that that was the unanimous
sentiment OF the audience The gen
eral opinion among them seemed to
be that Mr. Wiseacre would make an
admirable successor and would gov
ern Germany properly under an Amer

position among the native Germans TO
| criticise the American-Gerlnan ALI

manner in which it was received by

OF the German-American Alliance at
Utica. where the president OF the
