FUR DIVISION IF WORLD BY
 TARIFF WALLS
fRepubiIean A. p. Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-Division of the world into economic stratas sep arated by tariff waiis and classified as allies of the British empire. friendly neutrals, unfriendly neutrals, and en- emy countries is urged by the London Chamber of Commerce.
 To clear the ground for this world reconstruction the chamber concludes in a special report copy of which has just been received here. that abroga- tion of all most favored nations treaties, including that with the United States is inevitable.
 Free trade would be abandoned and a series of graded tariffs proposed in line with the present war groupings of the nations All imports would be divided as follows: Wholly manufac- tured goods; semi manufactured goods and articles solely used as raw material in industries; manufactured foodstuffs and raw foodstuffs. All parts of the British empire and its allies would pay minimum duties; friendly neat~als which allow the United Kingdofn most favored treatment would pay twice as much; other neutraIs giving prefer ences to other powers and including neutrals which might be swung into the Teutonic commercial system, would pay still greater tax; and all enemy countries would pay the maximum du- ties, running up as high as thirty per cent.
 Roughly it is estimated in the report that this change from free trade to protection would net yearly revenue of about s375, 900, 900.
 Every precaution is urged in the re- port to assuage neutral nations to pre- vent them from making comrnerciai alliances with enemy countries after the war. The difficulties are spoken oi as follows:

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex, Sept. Is. -(Delayed by cut wires)-Villa's own troops executed surprise attack on Chihuahua in the dark of this morn ing. which although successfully initi- ated, ended in complete victory for the de facto government forces under General Jacinto Trevino. who received a flesh wound in the left forearm un- der the fire.
 At 3:30 o'clock. during a heavy rain fall and while the people were hard asleep after the festivities of two nights in honor of the Mexican In- dependence day, the Villistas entered the town in two columns. One made straight for the penitentiary, where Jose Ines Salazar, the amnestied rebel on trial for plots against the govern ment, and other political prisoners were released. The other rushed for the government buildings and the fed eral palace, driving out the small Car ranZista guard.
 General Trevino, rushing his troops to vantage points, covered the govern ment buildings with rifles and machine guns. He then took personal. command of the artillery at Santa Rosa. and by a few well directed shots made the buildings untenable. The Villistas. caught under the double fire, fled out of the city to the northwest, leaving
 more than a hundred dead behind The fleeing Villistas at Nombre de i Dios ran into the forces of General Matias Ramos. which General Trevino had placed there to cut off the retreat
 Ramos continued the pursuit, with heavy loss to the bandits Although in command of the attack. Villa did not enter the city with his ! troops.

AT THE COLONIAL

The story of The Senator" which
is coming to the Colonial theater
today, as the next release on the
Equitable program, is a wonderful
presentation of official and social
life in Washington. filmed from
Sydney Rosenfeld's play Of the same
name, with Charles J. Ross in the
star part of Senator Rivers, the
character made famous on the legi-
innate stage by William II. Crane.
The pictured story far exceeds the
stage version in realism and
strength, and is full of striking sit
uations and beautiful as we'll as stir
ring scenes. Intrigue. ambition,
love, revenge, romance, and the hid
den but none the less powerful mo-
tives which move the currents Of
life in the nations capital are in
terwOven in a screen drama in which
the appeal to the hearts emotions
is as potent as the desire to see JUS
tice triumphant and the maneuver-
ing Of scheming plotters frustrated.
The play is in every sense a pre-
sentation worthy of the high stand
ard attained by the Equitable's pre-
ViOuS releases.
