VILLA BAND IN A NEW RAID
Troops Believed to Be
Operating in the Same
Vicinity.

auto loads of ammunition captured
from the Carranza forces after the
attack on chihuahua City and more
than a thousand former Carranza
soldiers, Villa is today retreating to-
ward the Santa Clara canyon. The
de facto forces under General Triv-
inc are not pursuing the bandits ow-
ing to the fear of the desertion of
the rank and file. The government
expects to send troops on the BAN
dts track later.
Ell Paso, Tex, Sept. ia small
band of Villistas made a "Hidalgo
day. attack on Guerrero, eighty
miles west of chihuahua City. but
were repulsed and fell back across
the line of the Mexico Northwestern
railway toward the foothills of the
continental divide, pillaging isolated
ranches as they went, according to
private. advices here today.
Recent reports received here have
asserted that American cavalry
scouting patrols have been operating
between Guerrero and Namiquipa.
The patrols were sent south from Ell
Paso, the southermost American
base, in response to reports that Viii
la himself was leading the bandit
band in that vicinity. Mexican auth
critics at Juarez said wire commun-
icaton was faulty and no reports of
an engagement at Guerrero had been
received.
1t was not considered probable
that the American patrols would en-
counter the bandits who probably
are making for secret lairs in the
hills of the district.
Des Moines, Sept. 19.-Chas. e.
Hughes, republican candidate for
president. will not be in Iowa before
the middle of October. 1t had been
previously stated that he would be
in the state on October first. A tel
esram was today received notifying
republican leaders of fifteen days de-
lay. State chairman Rawson is at
tending a conference of republican
forces in Chicago.

London, Sept. 19.-Rains OH the
Somme front have stopped further
engagements and lull is expected
for some weeks.
The Germans are bombarding the
Champagne front today. Berlin ad-
mits that German trenches were
penetrated northwest of Verdun.
A violent engagement between
Italian and Bulgarian forces is re-
ported on the Macedonian front. Ser
bian soldiers have advanced against
the Bulgarians at Monastir and are
again fighting on their native soil.
French and Russian troops have al
SO crossed into Serbia and are en-
gagged in battle with the Bulgarians.
London, Sept. 19.-Along a one
mile front the British have advance
ed another thousand yards and have
captured German fortified work
which had previously resisted all
their efforts.
This operation is characterized by
General Haig, the British command
er, as important and highly success
full.
1t is indicative Of the intention of
the British commander to force the
battle along the Somme front with
out cessation, the new advance being
continuation of the powerful move
ment undertaken by the British and
French on Friday last.
The French have achieved further
successes and put down strong Ger
man counter attacks.
South of Combles the French have
taken additional trenches. making
stronger their investment of the lit
tie town, which now is almost COM
pletely surrounded. Having evacu-
ated Deniecourt, south Of the river,
the Germans have been driven back
about two-thirds of mile toward
AblaincOurt. South of BarlcuX,
German trench west of Horgny has
been captured.
Fierce artillery fighting is still in
progress in the sectors of the Per-
onne Bapanne road. Sunday and
Monday more than 1.G00 Germans
were taken prisoners by the French
in the Deniecourt sector.

81 desire to thank you for this fine
manifestation Of patriotism and public
spirit in the name Of the American Red
Cross, which will carry out your humane
intentions. and also for the American peo-
pie, who will benefit by them. 1t Is be-
ieved that there can be no more practical
and usful way in which the Red Cross
spirit Of humanity can be put into practi-
cal operation than by making such prep
arations for the care of the wounded in
war as to insure our soldiers in future,
If the calamity of war should come,
against a repetition of the unnecessary
suffering and loss Of life which has oc-
CURED from the lack OF such preparations
in all our wars heretofore"
