Threatens Line Of Commun-

MEXICAN SITUATION

General Trsvino Driven From chihua-
hua City, in Saturdays Attack by
villistas But Succeeded in Dislodaing
Attackers by Gaining Hill With Ar
tilery-Rumors Current That City
Has 6ssn Taken in Second Assault

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 20.-Belief
that Francisco Villa will soon cut the
Carranza line OF communication be-
tween Chihuahua City and Juarez, II
he has not already done SO, was sug-
gested by Major General Funston to-
day after he had read report on the
Villa Chihuahua engagement, sub
mitted from General Bell.
Stories gathered by General Bell
from persons reaching Ell Paso from
the interior indicate that General
Trevino's forces were driven out of
Chihuahua City in Villas Saturday
attack and that they took stations on
a large hill outside the city, from
necessity and not from choice, as pre-
vious reports said.
From this hill they succeeded by
use of artillery in dislodging the Vii
listas.
General Funston refused to give out
the details Of the report but he said IT
confirmed previous accounts of the
battle and the situation as reported
was even more serious than reported
by the Carranzistas.
General Funston believes the Villista
force has grown since the Chihuahua
battle. He said that in this case the
logical step for Villa to take would be
the severing of the line of communica-
tion between Chihuahua and Juarez.
This would give him control Of the
Mexican Northwestern railroad.

BRITISH SEIZE GOODS.
Steamer Aymerie Reaches Manila Wit
Part of Its Caruo MISSING.

Steamer Aymerie Reaches Manila With
Part Of It's Cargo Missing.
Washington, Sept. 20.-Irritation in
official circles over British restrictions
on American trade was increased by
the report from Manila that the British
steamer Aymeric arrived there yester-
day with 1000 packages of its cargo
missing. The Aymeric sailed from
New York for Manila via Hongkong.
Upon it's arrival at Hongkong por-
ton of its cargo was removed, presum-
ably on the ground that it was destined
to enemy" subjects in Manila This
happened Sept 8 and brief dispatch
stated that 1900 packages Of the Ay-
meric's cargo had been removed BY the
British authorities.
The same thing happened.in the case
Of the Chinese Prince several weeks
ago, and later portion of the cargo of
the British steamer Kafue was removed
in the same way. These two vessels
sailed from San Francisco for Manila
with mixed cargoes.
A vigorous protest was sent to Lon
don by the state department, demands :
ing the release of the goods-seized frl m
the Chinese Prince, which was fined
$4,000 by the American authorities
when it arrived at Manila. The Fafue
did not complete it's voyage to Manila,
all Of it's cargo being transferred to an
other steamer, except than consigned
to suspected firms, which was held at
Hongkong
The state department has received no
formal reply to its demand for the re-
lease Of the Chinese Prince cargo but
has been informally advised within the
last week that the good either would
be or had been forwarded to Manila on
another steamer *. :

Berlin. Sept 20.--Bfttish and French
losses in the battle Of the Somme have
reached about 100000 men, the Over
seas News Agency estimates
Recent local successes obtained by
the British on the Somme are heralded
by the British press a. great victories"
says the news agency. nevertheless
the British were enabled to make this
advance only after eleven weeks Of the
most desperate effort. The result of the
battle of the Somme should be gagged by
considering the amount Of Belgian and
French territory held by the Germans.
OF this territory $4,000 kilometers is
Belgian and $1,000 French. The efforts
made by the French and British have
resulted in, the reconquest of only 1900
square kilometers, or only per cent
"The price paid for this territory is
appalling. According toa conservative
estimate the British lost 35O,00o men up
to Sept. Is. This. together with the
French losses, brings up the total to
about half million men,"

thereby discredited public authority
and weakened the foundations Of our

One weakness about this charge 10
that 1t Is false. Nobody threatened
the president or congress: nobody de-
manded anything OF them. There was
no controversy between the govern
ment and the railroad employees, nor
between the government and the man
ayers. The controversy was purely
industrial, waged between several hun
dred thousand men who operate trains
on one hand and the men who man-
age the roads on the other"

The statement then points out that
while the crisis existed, senators and
representatives and members Of the
administration were receiving COM
munications from all sections OF the
country, indicating that public ssn-

means to prevent such Q catastropha.s
