London, Jan. 26.-England is in a
panic. Fear of a general air invasion
by the new and powerful aeroplanes
recently developed by the Germans is
sweeping over the island and making
itself felt in high official circles. Mon.

arsenals and barracks. The mount
of damage has not been given out by
the British war office. Two British
planes assembled to attack the invader.
Waiting until the British craft we're
in full flight the Germans fired a cou.
pie Of shells at them and speeded
away, easily understanding its pur-
suers.
On the heels of the air raid comes
the official admission that Auatro.

1t was said Thai he had gathered
more than 1000 men and had taken
500 colts from the Babricora ranch
for mounts and was killing $50 head
of cattle daily and drying the flesh
for provisions.
From chihuahua City 1t was report
ed that by a new decree of Governor
Enriquez, all the products of the few
factories in the vicinity of the city
were ordered to be delivered to the
Nuevo Mundo, the local department
store, where, according to the decree,
the goods should be sold by the state
government without commission
Sugar, it was said, was selling in
the capital for 2 pesos per kilo, a kilo
being about 2 is pounds. The border
exchange rate of Carranza currency
is about 5 cents gold per peso. Cot
fee was said to be selling at Chihua-
hua for 4 pesos per kilo.
The various Mexican consulates
here were notified that Gen. Carranza
had promulgated a decree which
would require all persons entering
Mexico to have at least $50 in their
possession.
The presidential election will not
take place until after selection of n
new Congress.
Neither the State Department nor
the Mexican embassy has received
confirmation of reports hat Carranza
will establish his capital at Dolores
Hidalgo, and officials express doubt
that the little town of 5000 will be the
place selected.
