Bandits Are Surprised.

Gen. Funston said it was possible however, that tre bandits, when sur prised by the Americans, were at tempting to escape from the Carran- zistas, who later engaged in the battle.
 The latter had been in pursuit of the marauders for several days.
 The American force consisted of eight men under command of Sergt. Thompson, two hospital corps men and the two customs guards. They speedily surrounded the MeXicans in the ranch house. Woods was the first to fall, laid low by bandit who had slipped outside to aim at him.
 His death was avenged a moment later by one of the hospital corps men, who shot down the bandit just as he was fleeing back into the house.
 It was at this point that Bean sum- money the Carranzistas. Brisk firing followed for a time. Then quiet reigned in the ranch house. A eau tious investigation disclosed three more dead bandits inside its walls. The remainder had succeeded in get ting out and making their way over the Rio Grande. The Carranzistas followed in pursuit. Gen. Funston said that no American troops would join the chase. The number of ban dits who escaped is not known here.

its success a continuous supply Of war
munitions. From the success achieved
we have been able to gauge the para
mount necessity Of avoiding even the
slightest risk of restriction Of the use
OF munitions in the field, not merely in
the weeks Immediately before us, but
until our objective is achieved. In the
opinion of the commander in chief,
there must be no slackening in the out
put even for a moment. l, therefore,
appeal to the patriotism of the work
ers and the public generally to again
postpone their holidays in order that
the attack so brilliantly begun can be
carried through to a triumphant con-
clusion."
Leave Of Absence
Where health required, continued the
premier, leave Of absence would be
granted and the government held
themselves responsible for seeing that
the holidays were merely postponed
and not abandoned.
Representatives Of the admiralty and
the ministery Of munitions he added
would meet representatives Of the
workmen and employees to secure their
cooperation and he was sure this
would be forthcoming and that the
forces in the field would be given en-
couragement and the enemy discour-
agement in the certain knowledge that
the present intensity Of bombardment
and assault will, If necessary, be con-
tinued indefinitely"
