u. S. OFFICIALS THINK
VILLA IS DEFEATED
! Rumor of Decisive Victory for Car.
rama Forces Is Doubtful,
However.

A controversy is still in progress be-
tween Villistas and Carranzistas as to
the results of the fighting at CeIcya
last week, where Obregon claims to
have won a most decisive victory. The
State Department has not yet received
any report from George Carothers, who
as significant in itself, but the opinion
in official quarters Is that Villa has
been defeated. though probably not to
the extent Obregon has claimed.
The Villa agency last night an
nounced that Gen. Villa was gathering
up all available soldiers from other
parts of Mexico to renew the attack
upon Gen. Obregon. This statement is
regarded as an admission that he got
the worst of the two battles in the last
two weeks, and is supplemented by
Carranza statement that Villistas
have been withdrawn from before
Ebano. in the Tampico district. where
fighting for possession of the oil region
has been going on for a month.
The Carranzistas last night paid
as the compromise man for President
of Mexico. confirming the existing un-
derstanding that the constitutionalists
will not have Villas chief lieutenant
The constitutionalist agency received a
dispatch from Vera Cruz predicting
that the defeat of Villa would result
in Angeles attempting to take the lead
for the reactionaries. Well informed
persons here seem inclined to dismiss
the Angeles talk as futile.

WANDERLUSTERS TAKE
ANNIVERSARY TRAMP
Walk Over Route Travelled Year Ago,
Led by John Boyle. Jr.
355 on Hike.

The Wanderlusters yesterday en-
joyed a seven-mile walk in celebra ting
the day one year ago when the COM
munity walks" were inaugurated in
the National Capital by John Boyle.
jr., Titus Ulke and J. Harry Shannon.
The walk was led by Mr.. Boyle and
the route was along the same lines
as that Of the first hike year ago.
Three hundred and fifty-five Wan
derlusters were in the party. They
met at 2:15 o'clock at the old Bright
wood Hotel in Georgia avenue. The
hike started from Georgia avenue and
Military road. through the woods Of
Rock Creek. ThereSwas a stop at
the Joachim Miller Cabin for a drink
of spring water and another stop for
spring water at the District line
spring house.
From the spring house. the hike led
along Kalmia avenue and Beech drive
into the woods, along the course Of
Rock Creek. and across farm lands
to Chevy Chase where the halt was
made at $50 o'clock. The hikers
boarded cars at the lake and returned
to the city. Nearly all the hikers
gathered spring flowers along the
route. A score of new faces were
seen among the walk lovers.
A feature of the hike was the
presence of photographers. A pan
oram," as the photographers call It,
was taken of the 355 mixers at the
starting point and a staff photogra-
pher from Golfers accompanied the
walkers and procured a number OF
good pictures during the seven-mile
walk
