Villas automobile, which was being
used by him to direct his campaign
against the Carranza troops, was hit
by shell fire Sunday and was aban-
doned near Fresno, southeast of the
city.
The shell holes and bullet marks
were plainly seen on the sides of the
big automobile when 1t was found on
the battlefield after Villa abandoned
it and rode away on horseback.
General Trevino Is prepared for an
other general assault, although the in.
dications were the enemy would not
attack again. At the time this mes.
sage was dispatched by courier there
were no bandits to be seen west of
the city. General Carlos DUMAS cav
airy charges in this direction COM
pletely freed this sector Of the Villa
forces, which have been driven off to
the southwest distance estimated at
five miles.
Villas Attacks Vigorous.
The Villa troops attacked repeated
ly and with great daring, but were
driven off by the de facto forces, and
the force of their blows was spent
against the first-line entertainments.
The losses on both sides are report
ed to be heavy, as the fighting during
the last "a hours has been much closer
in range.
Assault on Wide Front.
The battle Saturday started soon
after the Geographic communication
with Juarez was cut. The wire went
down at 10 o'clock a. NJ, and the bat
tie started shortly before II a. m. The
bandits attack covered the entire
southern front from east to west, with
thanking operations to the east and
west.
Most desperate fighting occurred on
Zarco avenue within the city. The
bandits threw their best equipped
forces against the entertainments
which had been thrown up across this
street. The Villa forces made every
possible effort to take these entrench-
ments.
Fight In Narrow Street.
The de facto infantry met these
charges with counter charges, and the
battle ragged back and forth in this
narrow adobe-lined street until the
Villa bandits were driven out of the
mouth of the avenue onto the plains,
where they were raked with machine
gun fire.
Bandit Forces Scattered.
Villa is expected to withdraw soon
to the hills, as his forces have been
scattered by the shell and rifle fire Of
the de facto forces and his efforts to
capture the city are growing less and
less forceful.

Who Are the "speculators"2

Who are the food spectators" the
daily press of the country bowls abou
so insistently? Where are the huge
stocks of foodstuffs stored which tn.
papers darkly insinuate are hidden il
out-of-the-way places where the con
Stunning public cannot get at them
The answer is, that the food specu
lator" and the stocks in storage arr

tive brain of newspaper writer's whose
sole mission in life is to dish up sen
sational stories for their sheets with
out regard as to who may be injured
by the publication of the article.
which contain perhaps but single
germ Of truth.
1t is fact that the food situation
in the United States today is grave
1t has been brought about, however
through perfectly natural causes. In
stead of trying to infame the public
against retail and wholesale grocers
and food manufacturers, who are alb
solutely innocent of playing any part
in an alleged conspiracy" to force
up prices as has been charged, the
newspapers would much better serve
the interests of their readers by
pointing out the underlying reasons
for the food shortage and the causes
for the advancing markets, the war
crop shortage and greater consum
ing capacity in this country.
In place Of doing this, they hint at
speculation" and Conspiracy" leav
ing the impression that the grocers
are to blame. If there are people
who are specializing in foodstuffs
most certainly the retail grocers are
not among them, for the perfectly
good reason that they haven't the
money to speculate with, even should
they feel free to take advantage of
present conditions. The average re.
tail grocer considers himself FORUM
ate at this stage of the game if he
is able to secure enough goods to
supply his regular trade.
The wholesale grocer is equally
gliltless for much the same reasons
Jobbers generally have all of theil
available capital invested in their
business. Moreover, the wholesale
grocer is not speculatively inclined
There are few industries that are Of
more conservative nature than the
wholesale grocery business. While
there may be isolated cases where
jobbers are taking larger profits, ow-
ing to foresight in buying, these in
stances are rare. While both whole
sale and retail grocers buy futures"
confined to canned goods,
this is trade practice Of many years
and not peculiar to any one
year. If the jobbers and the retailers
didn't buy future canned goods, the
Gamers would have difficult time
financing themselves, which they
themselves admit.
Manufacturers are not specializing.
This is obvious from the fact that
they are having difficulty in securing
the raw materials from which their
products are made and 1t is matter
of trade knowledge that they have no
surplus stocks. Who then are the
food spectators" the newspapers
rave about and where are they get
ting the goods they are supposed to
be boarding in anticipation of higher
prices and enormous profits?

posed by federal, state and munich
pal authorities result in revealing
