In Touch With PIotters

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex, Sept 5. Military authorities here say they have no doubt that Villa is in constant com munication with revolutionary plotters in Fl Paso and that his movement to- ward the Santa Clara canyon is timed for political effect. As the canyon opens near Laguna station on the rail- way to JuareZ they believe it possible that he may attempt to hold up trains Large garrisons are stationed along the road. however and the likelihood of his being able to dash across and strike at the Pershing expedition is small
 The reason why Villa slipped north ward across the railway near Bustillos is attributed by staff officers here to the continuous persecution by the con- stitutionalists to the south. In this pursuit they say the government troops were at decided disadvantage. as they were forced to respect the guarantee given to the ranchers, while Villa could help himself to fresh mounts. The bandits are reported not only well mounted, but to have a large number of spare horses and mules.
 Santa Clara canyon has two rivers and plenty of green feed, which will give the Villistas a chance to recuper- ate. But the fact they avoided a fight with the garrison at Guerachic, for which they first headed, is taken here

Special to The Republican,

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Sept. 5.-(Via London.)- Despite their determined counter at tacls yesterday, when they advanced in waves, shoulder to shoulder, in de- fense of this chosen strategic point, the Germans had to yield Falfemont farm this morning.
 The British had closed around 1t in the darkness and dawn found the sur vivors of the garrison raked with ma chine gun fire. In hopeless situation plastered with mud after a night of cold and heavy rain, and having gone two days without sleep, they put up the white flag.
 Meanwhile a British battalion, finding little opposition, on it's own initiative, pressed on through the mud and the shell craters and gained the edge of Leuze wood which carried them past Ginchy, where the Germans are forti- fled amid the ruins with nests of ma chine guns.
 The British gain since Sunday is more than a mile in depth. Irish troops of the new army, enlisted through the efforts of John Redmond and other ma : tionalist leaders, distinguished them selves by taking Guillemont.
