himself smoking his chronic cigar on

Villa Catches Some
Of Cafranza Troops in
Disastrous Ambush

Ell Paso, Oct. 23.-Francisco Villa led
the Carranza vanguard under Gen.
Carlos Ozuna into an ambush between
Santa Ysabel and San Andres, on the
western division of the Mexico North
western railroad Friday, a report re-
ceived by one of the federal depart
ment agents here today stated. Ac-
cording to this report Villa retreated
from q position outside San Andres, 40
miles on the railraod west Of Chihua-
hua City, toward San Andres. This led
the Carranza vanguard into the trap
which Villa is said to have set for
them, the government report stated.
Ter bandits, who were hidden in the
defiles along the railroad, poure0
heavy fire into the Carranza troops
from rocks, according to the report.
The same source of information
claims to have confirmation of the re-
port that the Carranza troops then re-
treated to Santa Ysabel and then
Palmos and are now reported to be in
Fresno, the first station west Of Chi
huahua City. Caranza officials here ad-

both sides, casualties were about even.
AS the British kept up the offensive
their exposure necessarily was great

New Contrivances
This contradiction of the previously
accepted idea ola higher ratio of cas-
ualties for the side on the offensive,
which is usually considered as ncces-
sarily not less than two to one, is due,
according to the British officers. to the
superior power of British shell fire. the
numbers of British aeroplanes, the in
creased skill of the British soldiers and
the use of the tanks. The British staff
did not place much reliance on these
new contrivances, which aroused such
worldwide interest, but regarded them
as an experiment which might fail al
together. They are only one of the in
ventions aiding the offensive against
modern Notifications which will be
used next spring when the British are
fully prepared. Calculations as to the
value of the tanks are hard to make
but, taking the average opinion of ex-
perts at the front, these wizard new
motor cars have saved a loss of 10000
men, or more than a full division in

roses in their blindest and. most reac-

Hanly based his attack on letters re-

ident's attitude on the liquor issue had
stood unchanged for almost six years.
'He has not changed his mind on this
issue in six years. though the whole
world has," Hanly shouted. Then Han
ly declared that in that period the world
had learned from science, students OF
economies and sociology. the Emperor OF
Russia, most of the Canadian provinces
and u Of the dry United States that
prohibition was right.
