Ell Paso, June PA detachment
of American cavalry clashed with Car
rama soldiers at Carrizeal, about 80
miles south of Ell Paso yesterday,
both sides suffering heavy casualties,
according to unofficial reports re-
ceived by Mexican military authori-
ties in Juarez.
The American, command is said to
have been part of scouting patrol
from Guzeman, returning to General
Pershing's line of communication.
Carrizeal, named as the place of the
encounter, is about nine miles south
west of Villa Thumada, the Mexican
field base in Northern Chihuahua.
All the prisoners admitted that the
blame should be put on the Amer
ican commander for having ordered
the attack. The prisoners were sent
to chihuahua City, with the custom
ary protection. According to the re-
port, which the Mexican authorities
are investigating, 40 Americans were
killed by machine gun fire in sur
prise attack.
The Mexican casualties were said
to have not been heavy but General
Felix Gomez is named as being among
the Mexican dead.
Up to Funston.
General George Bell, Jr., who was
first informed of the fight by Mexi-
can Consul Garcia, said that no mill
tary action would be taken in Ell Paso
while orders were awaiting from Gen
eral Funston. In the meantime, he
said his forces were ready for any
demonstration from the other side of
the Rio Grande.
General Bell said there was no
question but that fight had taken
place, but was inclined to disbelieve
the report that any Americans had
been taken prisoners. The news was
/ spread throughout the Juarez, but
| the Mexican city remained calm.
Take II Prisoners.
Later General Francisco Gonzales,
the Mexican commander at Juarez,
gave out statement in which he an
nounced officially that the Mexican
command had taken seventeen Amer
ican prisoners. He also said that
! General Gomez's death had been con-
frmed, but said he had no official
report as to the number of casualties

Rotterdam, May 27.-(By mail)-
Many families in Germany go meat
less for days and weeks at a time.
This I have learned from a neutral
business man of Dresden.
Its as bad as housec1eaning to
get meat. 1t upsets our whole house
hold economy as we'll as our finan-
cial economy. It's dreadful opera
tion and we don't go through it often
er than we have to. In the last six
teen days we have had meat twice.
Fish Main Food.
*'Fish, new asparagus just in the
market, potatoes, spinach and dry,
crumbling war bread made largely of
potato flour, make up our list of edi-
bles. We get so tired Of it we hate
to go to the table. Sometimes we
even get so tired of it we decide We'll
have meat. Then there's trouble
He was requested to go into the
details of meat purchase in a Ger
man town.
+ <tWell, it's like this" he said,

terious way huge shipment Of Ha-
,vana cigars reached Berlin the other
day.; when we decide to have meat
my wife and I talk it over the night
before. If the next day is Tuesday
or Friday we can't buy anything but
fish, for those are meatless days.
my wife calls our maid and says:
Elizabeth, we want you to buy
beefsteak for us tomorrow Eliza
beth frowns and goes out.
'This means that Elizabeth must
get up at four o'clock the next morn
ing and go to the nearest butcher
shop and stand in line until her turn
comes to buy meat or until the butch
er comes to the door and says to the
waiting line: I'm all sold out Of
meat
1T is always four or five-hour
job for her, unless she wants to get

home at 8 or 9 O'Clock, sore on the
whole world.
"Sometimes she has been able tc
get meat but more often than not she
comes back empty handed.
"Oficially there are only two
meatless days a week but in reality
you find the butcher shops meatless
day after day. .....
Meat Makes Difference.
Fl call up my wife sometime dur
ing the morning to find out whether
we are going to have meat for supper
If she says we are, I'm happy all day

The purpose of giving the film a

mayor and members of the medical
