REPORT FROM CHIHUAHUA

Chihuahua City, October 25.-(Via Ell
Paso Junction. )-Skirm shing between
General DUMAS advanced forces and
those of Villa, although the general
engagement is being delayed by Gen
eral Trevino until all of his troops have
been placed in stragetic positions in
western Chihuahua.
The excitement caused by the APP
proach of the Villa forces has been
quoted and the concentration of 5000
troops here has restored the feeling
of security among the inhabitants.
Two military trains carrying a part
of General Maycotte's command from
Torreon arrived here today and Gen
eral Maycotte is expected here to-
morrow.
General Trevino today authorized the
Associated Press to make an official
denial of the rumors that he was pre-
pairing to evacuate the city. He char
acterized these rumors as malicious
Inventions"
General Trevino stated that the sit
uation in Chihuahua City was entirely
satisfactory.
ANY fear that Chihuahua City would
be captured by bandits is simply alb
surd," he said.

Keeping up his drive Field Marshal
Won Mackensen has brought his line
well above the Constanza railway line,
the right wing resting approximately
on Tachul, near the Black sea, IL
miles north of Constanza, and the left
north of Tchernavoda, whence runs
the only bridge across the Danube in
this RECON. Whether the Rumanians
, in their evacuation Of Tchernavoda
left intact the 14-mile bridge, which
would be of immense strategical value
to the Teutonic allies in a diversion
towards Bucharest, has not been made
known, but following military prece-
4 dent, despite the quiekness OF Won
Mackensen's forward push, it probably
was blown up or otherwise badly
damaged.
On the eastern Transylyanian front the
Predal pass has been given up by the
Rumanians, but, according to Bucharest
the Teutons east of the River Aluta, in
Transylvana, have been driven north

leys the Rumanians have made advances.
In the region of Verdun, where the
French Tuesday made their spectacular
west of verdun, they are still holding
the ground gained despite vicious counter
attacks delivered, particularly in the re-
gion of Haudromont and Duaumont. and
east of the Runin wood and north of
Chenois they have gained further ground.
More than 1900 German soldiers have been
captured by the French in this region.
Elsewhere along the front where the
French and British are facing the Ger
mans in France. little activity except
by the big guns has been shown.
Likewise in the Austro-Italian theatre
the artillery is doing the greater part
of the work along the entire line of
battle. The northern part of the Carso
plateau is under a heavy bombardment.
Only minor operations have taken place
on the fronts in Russia and Macedonia.

HOPE FOR BIRMINGHAM

Respecting Alabama, commissioner Lob
dell, who as previously reported, will
return to Washington following the visit
to Pensacola, expressed great regret that
he would be unable to enter state OF
which he had heard so much favorable
comment" His associates, Commission
ers Norris and Smith, following the lead.
admitted they expected to see in Birming-
ham an exceedingly interesting city.
From what, through indirection, can be
gathered it is believed that the commits
sioners are hopeful that they will be able.
as a result of information acquired, to
give birmingham a bank. Nothing to this
effect, however, is, in any manner. ex-
pressed.
Charles T. Pratt, formerly connected
with the Alabama department of bank
ing, now assistant to the president of the
Southern Banker, financial publication
of Atlanta, and Buffalo Bill the mimi
table plainsman, were other interesting
people who appeared before the board in
Columbia.

, sympathy with the strong upward move
ment which was registered in the early
trading in the future markets, several
options rising to 10 cents, or above and
making further progress toward 20 cents
a pound for the actual stuff which
in the New York future market today
seemed, to many spot people. to be
within the immediate possibilities. The
Montgomery market quoted midding at
1920 a pound. Houston, Augusta ana
Norfolk at 1870 each, and New Orleans
at Is. 75c.
These We're the highest prices in about
half a century, since the official records
would have to be searched back to about
1870 to find equally high quotations. How
ever comparisons with the situation of
about two years ago, during the first
stages of the European war, when cotton
in the interior of the belt was selling
down around 5 cents a pound, probably
hold still greater interest for the cotton
trade shortly after the war broke a
bale of cotton was valued by the grower
at only s25; today with 20 cents pound
apparently in sight bale is worth ap-
proximately 500.
BREAKS AND BULGES
The course of prices during the progress
of the European war has been full of vio-
lent breaks and bulges. At first de-
pressed by the unprecedented disarrange-
meht of world commerce and finance
which the outbreak Of the war caused.

INTERESTING ARGUMENTS

Interesting and effective arguments
were made by Governor Manning.- Sem
ator Smith. Representative Lever and
other prominent people. At lunch and
dinner the commissioners were pleasantly
entertained, but following their invariable
rule parried questions intended to com
nit them respecting the boundary lines
of the tentative districts.
Although Washington information Guns
to the contrary, the partisans OF South
Carolina are exceedingly optimistic. and
as a result. the impression prevails here
that Columbia has a chance. This IS
significant in view of the fact that moth
ing of a similar nature was found to
exist either In Richmond or Raleigh.
