Last Message Received at
Border Tells of Desperate
Hand-to- Hand Fighting in
Progress in the Streets.
FORCES OF TREVINO
REPORTED DEFEATED
Wild Rumors in Circulation
at Ell Paso of Big Bandit
Victory and of Force of
Outlaws Operating Near
Juarez.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 25.-
In a desperate assault on
chihuahua City today Pan
cho Villa had gained a foot
hold in the city and hand-to-
hand fighting was in prog
ress in the streets, United
States department agents
learned late today. The last
message that came over the
wires to the border stated
that Villista forces had en-
tered one side of the city.
Late this evening no further
information as to the out
come of the battle for pos
session of. the city had
reached the border.
In United States official quarters
here tonight it is thought improbable
that Villa had cut the wires, which
were severed early today, because dur
ing the two days fighting preceding
today's assault when his men domi-
mated the situation, the telegraph and
railway lines were not severed.
REPORT CITY OCCUPIED.
On the streets of Juarez rumors were
circulated tonight that the Villstas
had occupied Chihuahua City and that
TreVino had been routed but United
States department agents stated there
was little foundation for these rumors.
The presence of 200 Villistas, COM
manded by Sylvester Quevedo, IS miles
south of the Am 2rican border on the
Juares- Chihuahua City railway line
caused General Gonzales, commander
at Juarez to order out 100 Carranzista
troops out to guard the bridge a few
miles outside Juarez. Attempts to
get supplies of ammunition to General
Trevino were abandoned.
REPORT TO WASHINGTON.
Late today a United States govern
ment official. transmitting reports to
Washington, said: Until 10 o'clock
today General Trevino had been able
to repel every assault of the bandits
upon Chihuahua City. In only a few
instances had the bandits been able to
get any distance into the city.
Each time they were forced out.
But we have authentic information
that Villa had succeeded in penetrat-
ing into a portion of the town and had
been holding it for hours Then the
military wire failed. Whether he has
been able to maintain his ground is
the question"
AMMUNITION RAN LOW.
Other officials of five departments
obtaining reports for the United
States governm mt believed that the
ammunition supply of the defenders
began to dwindle this morning. Until
today, they said, Villas movements
indicated that he had surrounded the
city and his only effort was to force
the Carranzsta garrison to expend as
much ammunition as possible before
starting .the real assault
Unusual precautions were observed

New York, Nov. 25.-The at

Just Where They Are Standing.

No one with ordinary intelligence should have
any difficulty in ascertaining where candidates on
the republican ticket are standing on the question
of railroad regulation and control. The republican
position is defined in the party platforms, national
and state, and these platforms are entirely con-
sstent and harmonious. The declaration of the
republican national convention is as follows:
Interstate and interstate transportation have
become so interviewer that the attempt to apply
two, and often several, sets of laws to its regu-
laton has produced conflicts OF authority, en-
barrassment in operation and inconvenience
and expense to the public. The entire trans
portation system of the country has become
essentially national. We, therefore, favor such
action by legislation, or, If necessary, through
amendment to the constitution OF the United
States, as will result in placing it under COM
pete federal control.
The platform promulgated by the republican
state convention declares, I'VE endorse in its en-
trety the national platform of the republican
party adopted at Chicago" adding this statement
with reference to the state railway commission
and the progress marked by its work:
While recognizing the soundness of the ex-
preston of the republican national platform on
the subject of regulation Of transportation, we
call attention to the fact that federal control is
only contemplated therein, after such legisla.
ton or amendment to the constitution Of the
United States is enacted as may be necessary
for broadening the scope and increasing the
efficiency OF the Interstate Commerce commits
sion. We are proud of the work accomplished
by the Nebraska State Railway commission un-
der an amendment to our constitution and laws
enacted by republican legislatures. We en-
dorse the sentiment of our candidate for presi-
dent uttered while member of the supreme
court Of the United States, that in the absence
OF federal action the states have right to exer-
else authority over transportation within their
borders SO long as they do not unnecessarily
interfere with Interstate commerce
II those interested will study and digest these
platform declarations rather than take democratic
versions Of them twisted for partisan purposes
they will have no trouble in understanding what
is meant.

Great Britain and Neutral Commerce.

Premier Asquith says the post bellum eco
nomic warfare planned by the Quadruple Entente
Allies is not to be waged against neutrals. Just
why he should announce policy so obvious is
not clear, unless it be to reassure his countrymen
who are looking beyond the war, and in some
way see the possible effects Of the boycott now
practced under the enemy trading act. The pre-
mier admits that the war has opened English
eyes to the extent of the economic penetration
by Germany in its effort to conquer the COM
merce of the world. Seven years ago Winston
Churchill, speaking to the Lloyd-George budget,
called attention to the fact that Germany was far
better organized, industrially and socially, than
England. and urged his countrymen to emulate
and possibly overtake 'our great and friendly
rival"
England has had one great advantage, that Of
an immense accumulation Of capital, invested In
foreign securities. This gave London absolute
control of the money market Of the world, while
the extent Of the British banking system pract-
cally put the control OF credit into the same
hands Germany Offset this to some extent by
using the national credit to support commercial
transactions London will very likely be the
money market of the world after the war is over,
but credit will be released to some extent by the
entrance Of American bankers into the foreign
field. This will narrow the field in which the
Allies may effectively operate under their pro-
posed plan for restricting enemy commerce, but
will not prevent its application so far as they can
make it effective.
Premier Asquith's explanation Of the purpose
Of the Allies is bland acknowledgement that
the truth Of Churchill's criticism is now felt But,
how will he square his pacific purpose with the
blacklist And what will he do with neutrals,
who are also ambitious to develop industries and
extend their commerce?

Hughes Americsnism.

The New York World and certain other demo.
cratic papers take Mr.. Hughes severely to task
because he does not specifically denounce the So
called "hyphenates" in his speech Of acceptance.
On this slim peg they hang high hopes of win
ming support for Mr.. Wilson, and the emphasis
the opposition is giving it shows how desperately
they are driven for an issue
To make their point, these partisan critics
have overlooked every public utterance Of Mr.,
Hughes since his candidacy was preached. His
commencement talk at Washington. while he was
yet unnominated and still member of the su-
preme bench, was an unqualified declaration Of
Americansm, sound and patriotic In its every
syllable. In his speech of acceptance, almost in
his opening sentence, he declared for America
first, and American efficient" This epigrammatic
utterance was anpihed as he proceeded, and deal
ing specifically with the objective raised by the
World and its coadjutors, he declared Utterly
intolerable is the use OF our soil for alien in
trigue."
None who reads the speech of Mr.. Hughes
dealing with the issues before the country ap-
preaching the topic with an open mind can fail
to be impressed with its evidence of devotion to
the highest of patriotic standards.

Delay Prove. Costly Alw,x..

The Missouri Pacific now comes with plea
that to make the improvements required by the
city will cost 20 per cent more at present prices
than when they were ordered. Who is to blame
for thatf The city acted well within its rights
in ordering the railroad company to construct
viaducts over unprotected grade crossings This
was met by the railroad with all sorts of obec-
tons, requiring finally resort to the courts, al
though similar cases for quarter of century
had been invariably won by the city. Since the
final decision Of the court the railroad company
has still delayed, 'hagglng over details. and at
last coming forward with substitute plan, put
ting off the settlement from time to time. All
the while the cost Of construction material was
advancing. The delay has already cost the Mis-
souri, Pacific considerable sum Of money, and
may at any moment cost il much more, for the
danger Of dreadful accident at one Of its un-
protected crossings is always present.

Clean through the rain and the mist,
And . feeling Of sadness comes DER me.
That my soul can not resist,
A feeling of sadness and longing.
That is not akin to pain.
And resembles sorrow only
Az the mist resembles the rain,
Come, read to me some poem
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And Danish the 4thoughts of day
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of time.
For. like strains Of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
LIES endless toll and endeavor,
And tonight long for rest,
Read from some humber poet
Whose songs pushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.
Who through long days Of labor,
And nights devoid OF ease.
Still heard In his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benedictton
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume,
The poem of thy choice;
And lend to the rhyme OF the poet,
The beauty Of thy voice.
And the night shall be Allied with music
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs.
And as silently steal away.
