ConStitutionaIiSt Troops,
Says Report,

El Paso, Tex, April 2l.--An official
Carranza statement received today
from General Obregon by way of
Vera Cruz said that his troops had
occupied Irapuato, Villas abandoned
base in the central Mexico campaign.
Obregon reported also that the villa
troops had continued their flight
northward.
General Cesarea Castro. Obe CONS
cavalry chief, has arrived at Vera
Cruz for conference with General
Carranza He was said to have veri-
fed Obregon's estimate Of the Villa
losses in the fighting about Celaya.
1t was doubted by observers here
whether Obregon would move his en-
tire force to Irapuato, which al
though large town, is said to be
almost impossible to defend. This
fact doubtless caused Villas retreat
to Aguas Calientes upon aggression
of the Obregon army from Celaya.
The next battle probably will occur
at Francisco, a station between
Aguas Calientes and Irapuato. This
town, at present held by villa forcee,
lies In a nook of hills forming a
strong natural fortification.

Says London Report

London, April 81 (9:15 p. m.) -The
British war office tonight gave out an
official statement dealing with the
military operations in the vicinity of
Ypres, Belgium, where British troops
recently captured Hill SO from the
Germans.
The statement said.
"Violent and continuous counter
attacks still are being made on Hill
so. Yesterday afternoon the enemy s
activity was renewed and between 6
and o'clock two heavy attacks made
by infantry were repulsed with great
loss to the enemy The hill was heav-
lily shelled all night and several fur
ther attacks were repused.
"a bold and successful attack was
made on the enemys airship harbor
and shed at Ghent. The extent of
the damage must have been consid-
erable."
