DE FACTO CAVALRY
 IS PURSUING VILLA
BANDIT MAKING FOR RUGGED SANTA CLARA CANYON DiS-
 TRICT TO NORTHWEST.

El Paso, Texas.-TWo columns of government cavalry, under Gen. Ma tias Rabos and Col Jose Marrero, are pursuing Villa and his main band, which made the Hidalgo day attack on Chihuahua City, into the rugged Santa Clara Canyon district to the northeast, according to reports to Gen. Francisco Gonzales, command ant in Juarez.
 The bandits are well mounted and apparently were leading the de facto forces over the jagged rocks, ruinous to the feet of horses, into the can- yon. Persons familiar with the coun try pointed out that should Villa reach one of his lairs in the district the government troops may have the greatest difficulty in finding same.
 All reports indicate that Villas force numbered approximately 1,500 and was opposed by the garrison of about 1000. The Villa casualties also are said to be considerably larger than first indicated. From the num- Der of dead and wounded picked up by the pursuing forces it was esti- mated the losses probably were about 250.
 Villa himself directed the attack, according to the dispatches, but did not enter the town, remaining across the Rio Churiscar, to the northwest, with a few hundred of his reorganized gold ones." When his followers had fallen back to this point, it is assert ed, he directed the retreat.
 A detachment of 20 Villa cavalry- men engaged Carranza infantrymen on the second floor of the state palace, according to additional de- tails of the attack by Chihuahua City, received here by Andreas Garcia, Mexican consul. The bandits rode their horses up the stone steps to the second floor in pursuit of the govern ment guard, which fell back before them. De facto marksmen picked off six of the mounted bandits as they rode into one of the rooms, the re- mainder making their escape.
 The consular dispatches added that Jose Inez Salazar, one of the most notorious of the Mexican bandit lead CTS, was killed in the engagement, following his liberation from the peni- tentiary. Salazar, contrary to earlier reports, is now said to have been killed fighting with the govern ment troops, his former jailers.

BRITISH BEEN
 NEW ACTIVITIES IN NMESOPOTAM|A

LONDON, Dec. iS.-The renewal cf British activity in Mesopotamia is attracting attention. Nothing k known Of the new movement except what is contained in the official com municaiions. The near approach of the British forces to Kut-el Amara is not regarded as necessarily of great consequence, except SO far as 1t may be part of a definite plan. becuase it is believed here that General Maude. who now commands the expedition. has been in a position to take kut -el- Amara ot any time during the pasi three months if he had SO desired
 It Is remarked by the Times that If. as Is rossible, the British now en- ter Kut- el-Amara. the Turks win be compelled to evacuate Sanna Yat. without having the satisfaction of re- sistins another formal attack, and adds
 The Mesopotamian expedition Is in 2 much happier position than it oc- cupied at the beginning of the year. Two light railways are being built and have reached an advanced stage; the river flotilla has ben strength- encd. spacious wharf accommoda- ton has been provided at the base at pasra. ample supplies have been ac- cumulated rnd the medical and hos pital organizations are now believed to be sufficient for the largest pos sible demands. The early blunders in Mesopotairia to a great extent have been rectified. The ultimate object of ti:e expedition. however Is still obscure"

 PARIS. Dec. 16.-lncrease in the cost of coal. track material and rolling stock have added so to operating ex- penses of French railroads that not withstanding considerable increase Tn receipts since 1914. they show a deficit of 7l5.000,00O francs for the two fiscah years following the out break of the war.
 The principal lines spent two billion francs in the year l9l3-i6; they re- ceived l,700 900, 900. For the fiscal year l9l6-l7, the anticipated autlay is 2,50O 00000O. An increase of seven teen per cent in receipts Is expected. but this will still leave a deficit of 455.O00. 900 for the year.
 An idea of what coal prices mean to the railroads Is seen in the fact the Paris-Lyons and Mediterranean lines spent 56,O00.000 francs for coal in 1913 and l70.00O.000 francs in 1916
 Steel rails that cost 1s0 francs a ton before the war have gone up to $50 francs. Railroad ties cost i22 per cent more. locomotives are 50 per cent higher and are going on toward 10 per cent increase, while cars have gone up from POO per cent 10 300 per cent since 1918.
 The deficit of the state railroads was l5 millions in 1914: 1t is estimated al 206 millions for the current fiscal year. NJ. Ribot. minister of finance, points out the necessity of increasing freight and passenger rates.

SHOWS VALUE OF
 ARMY AEROPLANES

FIELD HEADQUARTERS AMERI- CAN PUNITIVE EXPEDITION. Mex leo. Dec. 17.-Siriking demonstrations of the value of aeroplanes in the last field mancuyers brought forth the declaration by Major General J. |. Pershing. commander of the expedi- tionagy forces. that he would rather have an aeropiane than regiment Of cavalry for reconnaissance work Tire admira nle work Of a motor track train h. transporting infantry to threatened points also brought warm eommenda'ion.
 The problem which the troops at field headquarters sought to solve and in which asrcpianes and trucks were used for the first time involved an attempt to ford tte CGsas Grandes river ai one of three points. Thes. lords three miles apart were defend ed by a regiment of infantry at war strength, battery of field artillery and d saSsadron of cavalry. The de- lenders alsc had the use of a truck train of 21 cars. Each side had one aeroplane.
 Flying about 25oO feet above the earth distance considered ample since the forces had no anti-aircraft guns. Captain Davenport Johnson. for the defenders, was able to follow the movements of the cavalry from the moment they left their base twelve miles from the river. to the point where a squadron was detached to make a feint at the south ford while tho fna m body dashed toward the north passage. His work enabled the commanding general tJ mass his in- fantry at the ford threatened by using the motor trucks.
 The aero scout for the attackers, Lr trl.r LrI difficult task. His objectives were screened by the trees along the river. Movements of troops also were more or less confused with those of or ganizations in headquarters camp, which backed the fords. In spite of this. he was able to locate the artil- lery where it had been concealed under the trees and 10 fix definitely the points where the main bodies of infantry were posted.
 Both aviators were in the air four hourss with only a few landings tc rest them. Messages were sent by means of pnr1chutes and smoke bombs. The task of piloting an aero plane in puffy air. observing and writing messages taxed the pilots to the utmost. At one time there was considerable excitement, for it was thought the airmen were staging fight above the clouds The impress sion was the result of the closeness of the machines and the fact that both were firing smoke bombs

IRVINE BLOCK |s
 MENACED BY FIRE

Fire of uncertain origin, starting in a general toilet and wash room in the J. A. k. Irvine block, First and Wash ington streets, about six o'clock last evening, brought out the fire depart ment on quick run. When discov- cred by firemen at Central station, smoke was pouring from the roof of the building and from cornices on the Washington street front
 Lines of hose were run to the second floor of the building which was dense with smoke and rendered the matter of getting to the seat of the blaze some what difficult. It was. however, but the matter of a minute or two, once the smoke had been given an outlet until one stream was playing into the toilet and the real fight was over.
 The damage on the second floor will be slight although considerable water was poured into the building The Phoenix Skirt Company, occupying quarters on that floor will probably lose from goods damaged. The Karp clothing store. located directly under the spot where the blaze occurred, will lose from water which went through the ceiling from the floor above. It is also likely that the Doris Grocery com pany will suffer a small loss from water.
 When the firemen at Central fire sta ton discovered the smoke coming from the building, Lieutenant Paddock hur- ried to the corner while the rest of the company went into action. Paddock pulled Box IA just as the big American La France pump went out In starting the motor of the pump there was an unearthly roar and this gave rise to the report on the streets that the fire had been preceded by an explosion.
 The Irvine block Is said to be the old est brick business building in Phoenix. having been erected about 40 years ago byq J. A. R. Irvine. who died here a few days ago.
