past six months so disappointing to
the western allies.
The frustrated German naval raid
on the English coast contributed dur
ing the week more new facts to naval
history than any other sea battle OF
the war. The loss Of the Bluecher

cruisers on both sides and the sue
cess of German submarines in driv-
ing off the superior British fleet.
The German dreadnaughts had
lighter guns and heavier armor than
the British while speed under the
special circumstances of the case
was approximately equal. The battle,
therefore. as far as the capital ships
were concerned. developed into con-
test between arms and armor. The
heavier gunned Lion was disabled be-
cause of her lighter protection. but

the teaching of the battle because it
is not known how seriously the Ger

Mysterious Shooting.
Ell PASO, Texas, Jan. 3o.-Generai
Francisco Villa was shot and slightly
wounded in mysterious affray about
ten days ago, according to foreigners
arriving here tonight from Aguas Cal
ientes. The incident was suppressed
as much as possible by the Mexican
officials. it was declared, and no de-
tails were learned. Villa has not been
incapacitated by his wounds, however,
and has been seen on the street in
Aguas Calientes several times since
the shooting took place.
AS former Provisional President
Gutierrez and General Obregon have
formed an alliance for the purpose of
eliminating Villa, it is believed by
many Villista agents along the border
that men in their employ may have
been implicated in the shooting. The
arrivals from Aguas Calientes declare
that since the attempt on Villas life,
close guard is kept over the privats
car in which the Mexican leader IS
living. Instead of going about the
street with only one or two officials,
as was his custom, he does not ap-
pear in public now unless accompanied
by his entire staff.
