RAID ON U. S.

Continued from Page One.l
on the west side of Aqua Prieta at
noon, thus completely enc1rcHng the
town, and demand was reported to
have been made on General Gales
for a surrender, by 2 p. m.
Gales troops remained inactive in
the trenches, although the Villa
troops were in plain view of Aqua
PFieta.
Villa Through With U. S.
General Villa began moving his
troops into position last night for an
attack on Aqua Prieta, opposite here,
regardless, he personally declared, OF
any consequences or effects from the
United States.
IF necessary, I will fight the Unit
ed States army assembled along the
border" Villa asserted, after hearing
yesterday for the first time that the
American government had given per-
mission for Carranza to transport
troops from Laredo and Eagle Pass,
Tex, to reinforce the garrison at Aqua
Prieta.
Four of these troop trains arrived
last night, bringing the total fighting
men of the garrison commanded by
General Gales to approximately 1000
men.
Villa, according to reliable esti-
mates, has 10000 soldiers. He claims
to have $4,000. The battle may be-
gin at any moment.
1t was during his march that Villa
learned Carranza reinforcements had
been transported over American ter
ritory and launched a verbal attack on
the United States, which he declared
would turn into a physical attack, if
necessary.
Aqua Prieta will be mine,' he as
serted, Americans or no Americans.
Bitter Toward Washington.
+ Villa was almost in sight of the
Mexican town at the time. Pointing
his finger toward it he added:
There is food and rest for our
men. We may have to fight for it,
=the whole American army, If neces-
sary; but, no matter. it will be ours"
"When?" he was asked.
ct know" was the reply.
This is the way the United States
repays me for the treatment and pro-
lection I have given foreigners in Mex
leo. Hereafter I don't give a - what
happens to foreigners in Mexico-or in
my territory. I am through with the
United States. I can fight my battles.
Let them fight theirs.
EI can whip Carranza and his entire
army but it is asking a great deal to
whip the United States also; but sup
pose I can do that, too"

UNUSUAL FARMLAND SHORTAGE.

Now comes a call from western
Kansas, this time from the northern
section, for harvest hands. No less
than 5000 are needed to assist in the
harvest of one of the greatest corn
crops ever raised in that territory.
And this, by the way, is an unusual
season of the year for a call to be sent
out for a large number of harvest
hands. AS a general thing, Kansas
farmers, with such help as they can
get in nearby towns and such help as
they can give each other, are able to
get their corn in somehow, and no
matter how large the crop may be. So
it is evident that the present one is,
indeed, of record-breaking proper
lions.

CITY'S MILK IS BETTER
Only One Sample Is Above the Limit
in Bacteria.

The report of the city milk inspec-
ton department for the month of Oc-
tober showing the result of examina-
tions made of milk, shows that a bet
ter quality of milk is now being sold
in Topeka than ever before in its hos
tory. OF the samples from thirty-nine
milk dealers which were examined
only one was above the legal limit in
the number of bacteria and this was
only slightly over the margin. A
marked increase in the percentage of
Topeka during the month of October
was richer and cleaner than in any
other month shown by the records of
the department.
Following is the report:
