TREWNO GETS WORD
VILLA IS LOCATED
Report States Outlaw With
Thirty Men Is in Durango
Territory Now

Chihuahua City, Mex, July 26.-villa.
with about 30 men, is in the Canon De
Las Huertas, near Ell Paso De Penoles,
Durango, according to dispatches from
General Ramos, sent by courier to Ma
pami and telegraphed to General Trevino
today Calixto Contreras, his chief lieu
tenant, whose death recently was re-
ported from Mexico City, deserted imme-
diately after the Parral fight and made
his way southwark with one-half of the
men who attacked that city, according to
the dispatches.
1t was reported that the Villa followers
are scattered through the foothills of the
Sierras in small bands.
Gen Matias Ramos, commanding the
Carranza troops in the campaign, has de-
planned to reconcentrate his scattered
command at San Pedro De Gale and TO
attack Mapami. For this purpose, 100
men, under the leader Padilla, struck off
north of Penoles toward Escalon, with
orders to burn bridges both north and
south of that point that additional troops
might not be brought south while Villa
marched on Mapami. The de facto troops,
however, were too strong and he was
obliged to turn back.
The dispatches said the Villstas now
in the field in that section number less
than 200 and, according to prisoners, their
clothing has been torn to shreds by the
hard marches they are practically with
out shoes, food and ammunition.

Attorney Attempts to
Explain Away Mystery
Causing Death of Girl

Olney, ILL.,, July 26.-An explanation of
the circumstances to which are attributed
the death of Miss Elizabeth Radcliffe
near here late Friday night, was given to-
day by H. G. Morris, states attorney. Be
cause of the girls death, Roy Hinterliter
is awainting action by the November
grand jury.
The death of Miss Radcliffe, it is
claimed by the states attorney, was due
to bungling attempt to perform an IL
legal operation. Air bubbles, it is claimed,
entered the circulatory system of the
young girl and when they reached the
heart or brain death must have re-
suited.
States Attorney Morris today gave out
a statement explaining the pathological
features of the case.
Stating that the autopsy showed that
the girl was in delicate condition, the
prosecutor added:
There were no exterior marks of VIC
lence. Three experienced surgeons
found all organs perfectly normal.
In cutting into the right ventricle," he
continued "air escaped. The heart was
perfectly healthy. When the surgeons re-
moved the top of the skull they noticed
bubbles of air. All blood vessels of the
brain showed air circulation. There were
no structural changes, but on a test the
brain floated in water. There was nc
lesion of the lungs
later it was discovered that man
threw away an instrument used in Illegal
operations while going to the sanitarium.
1t was found. The man had boosted OF

The prosecutor has letters said to have
been written by Hinterliter to the girl.

Spirit of Guardsmen Is
Excellent, Says Bliss

Ell Paso, July 26.-Inspection of the
camps of the 5000 national guardsmen on
station here was begun today by General
Bliss to ascertain the conditions under
which the men are living. He paid par
ticular attention to reports that some Of
the guardsmen are disgruntled with bor-
der duty and urged the ofganiza ton COM
manders to place as liberal construction
on the recent orders releasing guardsmen,
who have dependent relatives, as the mill
tary exigencies permit
1.-The spirit of these national guardsmen
all along the border is excellent" he
said. while it is hot and dusty some
times, exaggerated reports have been
spread concerning their privations which,
in reality, are negligible"
General Bliss added that the number of
guardsmen who could be sent home UNI
der the orders would still leave an ample
number Of men under arms in the United
States to cope with any possible en1er-
gency.

cruiser Memphis, formerly the Tennes-
see, denying charges of misconduct on
the part of the ships officers at a din
ner at Valparaiso Chile, during their
recent visit II IRE with the American

SAKHAROFF TAKES
1000 GERMANS ON
SLONEVKA RIVER
CONTINUED from rage one)

These news items were the most encour-
time and the allies are thus able to con-
graduate themselves on another good
days record.
The opinion of the military critics In
London is that no positions SO strong as
the British are now successfully attack
ing will be found between Pozieres ana
Pauaume; otherwise, they argue, the Ger
mans would not have risked bringing
troops and guns from the Verdun sector
to defend Pozieres and it is inferred from
indications in the official dispatches that
the British are already beginning to es-
tablish themselves on both sides of the
road from Pozieres to Bapaume.
The British secretary for war. David
tonight, shows the Importance the Ger
mans attached to the retention of Po-
zieres by quoting from German divi-
sional order issued in CONTAMINATION on
July II as follows:
Furthermore the conversion of vii
lagos into strong points is of the great
est Importance. Such villages are Pc
zieres, Contamination and the two Bazen-
tine and Longueval."
Secretary Lloyd George points out that
with the capture of Pozieres the last of
these villages has fallen into the allies
hands He further points out that to-
days German claim of the repulse of an
attack on Trones wood must be a clerical
error, as Trones wood has been in Brit
ish possession since July A.
AS on the western front, the Germans
and Austrians appear unable to make
successful stand anywhere against the
victorious Russian forces. General SAX
haroffs recent success has brought him
within about u miles of Brody, which
guards the approaches to Lemberg and
places Won Bothmers army in danger.
The unexpectedly swift fall of Erzingan
'eads to the suppositivu hat the Turks
must have removed the guns from the
defenses of this town to assist the armies
in tire field, not anticipating such a rapid
Russian advance in such difficult
country.
The Italian front attracts little public
interest, but the Italians have recently
been making good progress in the Dolo-
mite region.
