VILLAS FAILURE COMPLETE

Juarez, November 24.-Francisco
Villa has failed in his repeated eff
forts to capture Chihuahua City from
the de facto forces, high Carranza Of
tcials here, who are inconstant touch
with developments in the state cap
ital, declared emphatically tonight.
After two days of almost continu-
Gus fighting Villa has been driven
from the vicinity of the city and has
left for the northwest with the rem
nants of his command, they said. The
Carranza general reported killed is
said to be General Gandara, former
follower of Villa, who received am
resty.
Villa was reported late today to
of Guerrero with the remainder of his
men, abandoning his trains, but this
was not verified in Juarez.
The whereabouts of General Muir
guia's division, which has been adj
vancing toward Chihuahua City from
the south. remains as much of mys-
terry tonight as it was yesterday when
General Murgia was expected to re-
inforce General Trevino.
A theory advanced by military Of
ficers here is that bandit scouts in
formed Villa of the approach of the
Murguia column and he abandoned
the attack on the city and sought
safety in flight to the Sierras.
The Carranza forces under General
Trevino's columns were pursuing VIII

claim the complete route OF the bandit

OF the farmer, the National Grange, in

tonight analysing the high cost of liv-

The woman was called before Colonel
Dlaz Tuesday. She was followed by her
sister, Maria Castillo, and servant, Maria

were taken from her. according to the
officers.
Early next morning the women were

Associated Press that in view of the
Belgians' deportation and the sinking
of hospital ships any talk of peace at
the present time must be futile"
Lord Robert continued: 1--WE have
not yet had in the case of either the
Britannia or the Braemar Castle any
official report as to whether the ships
were torpedoed or mined, but the prox-
unity of the disasters inevitably leads
one to believe that a submarine must

Where the adjourned sessions of the
commission will be held was not deter

The right of the American government
to send troops across the border IN pur-
suit of bandits was not Incorporated in
the protocol but was made the subject
of a supplemental memorandum. me
Mexcans had contended earnestly against
signing any agreement in which they ap-
peared to sanction what they termed the
violation of their national territory. 1t
was the agreement of the Americans
finally to content themselves with stating
the attitude of the Unied States in a
separate memorandum that induced the
Mexicans to sign the agreement"
CARRANZA MAY BALK
The Mexican commissioners were nom
committal tonight as to their hope of rati-
fication by their first chief. The Ameri-
cans hoped General Carranza would
approve the acts of his representatives,
but it was manifest they were not unduly
optimistic.
Throughout the conference that began
on September 4, the Mexicans have in
sisted the first chief and his official fam
lily would not agree to any violation of
Mexican territory.
If the agreement is ratified there will
begin a long consideration of the remain
ing questions that the American govern
ment regards as vital to the full restora-
ton of friendly relations with Mexico.
These include taxes, threats to confiscate
property, sanitary conditions and claims.
Such problems are regarded by the
Americans as essentially basic and neces-
sary to an understanding. %
