VILLA ARoUsEs MEXICO BY HIS
ATTACK IN CHIHUAHUA
FL Paso, Tex, Sept. 1s.-All North
ern Mexico is in turmoil today as re-
ports of Villas attack upon Chihua-
hua City early Saturday spread
throughout the country. Four thou
sand defacto troops from Monterey
are being rushed to Chihuahua City
ant other points, while two columns
of cOvalry are pursuing the flying
bandits toward Santa Clara canyon,
according to reports given out by
Gen-Gonzales, Carranza commander
at Juarez.
Three CarranZa officers who de-
serted when the bandit attack on
Chihuahua commenced and rode
north to catch a train arrived in Ell
Paso early today. According to their
story, the Villistus attacked the town
in two columns, one marching
straight to the penitentiary without
a shot being fired upon them, the
other column driving the Carranzista
soldiers before them to the palace.
When it was seen that he peniten-
tiary was doomed to fall, Carranzista
officers ran through the corridors,
shooting political prisoners, firing on
them through the bars.
Gen. TreVino, Carranzista COM
mander, was shot by one of his own
men, these officers declare, and
about one-third of the garrison mu-
tinted and went over to the bandit
leader.

Concerning this new plan, Tie order
SAYS:
There are in the Brownsville district
approximately G0e Ford automobiles.
These Ford cars can he TRANSFORMED il
to a small wagon-car with a maximum
capacity Of eight hundred pounds Of
freight. If each quartermaster would
prepare at once ten bodies. according 10
or on the lines of. the specifications A.
tached hereto. they could he kept on

Ford body could be removed from the
chassis and the body described herein
substituted III its place.
with ten cars for each regiment,
with a carrying capacity of eight hun
dred pounds of freight, and the rcgi-
ments being in the field approximately
fifty miles. or more. from railroad com
munications. this would give each regl-
merit n supply capacity, from the base %
supplies of 5000 pounds of necessary
supplies per day; and with those figures
it can readily be seen that there would
be no necessity Of any regiment running
short Of necessary supplies at even a
greater distance than stated above
Captain Alfred Aloe, quartermasteI
ut Fort Brown. who has been expert

hat if the bodies are built according 10
