GREAT BUTTER PRODUCER
Henry Hance Praises Guernsey Cat
tie BOUGHT Eight Months Ago.

Henry E. Hance is enthusiastic in
favor of scientific agriculture and
dairying. Today he pointed out the
fact that on his farm near Mapleton
he had a carload of Guernsey cattle,
purchased for him eight months ago
by T. B. McCulloch, field man of the
extension department of the state

time and this every one of those cat
tie has been a great butter producer
and the, carload has paid for itself.

Most of the state of Chihuahua is
now dominated by Pancho Villa. The
de facto government today gave out
a statement admitting that Villa had
taken Chihuahua City, and had driv-
en- off the de facto defenders in two
separate divisions, one going north
and the other going south. Villa is
in full control of the city.
Villa and his bandits, after capturing
Chihuahua City and it's garrison of
$500 Carranza infantry footing stores
and. homes and numbering scores OF
women and children, are reported to
be advancing upon Juarez.
General Gonzales, commander OF
Juarez, who started south with 200
soldiers, is reported to have been de.
feated by the Quevedo brothers and
their bandits of the Villa forces at
Villa Ahumada, and he and few OF
the survivors are in fight toward the
border
Juarez Is Undefended.
Juarez is without defense. All but
about 1000 of it's residents have fled
to this city. General George Bell, Jr.,
commanding the United States forces
here, has trained his many 4.7-inch
guns from the heights about Ell Paso
upon Juarez, and the report persists
here that he has received definite or.
ders from the war department to open
fire upon the Villa bandits If they cap.
ture the Mexican city.
Elaborate preparations have been
made by General Bell and the other
American military commanders to
cope with a renewal Of the border
raids by Villistas.
Villas Strength Is Growing.
1t is understood Villas strength
throughout Chihuahua is spreading
rapidly and may extend to other
states.
The $500 Carranza infantrymen
Villa captured in Chihuahua have
Joined his forces, according to tele.
grams to the American government
officials here, and his forces are being
strengthened by hourly additions, as
indicated by the presence of the Que

Chinese there, 800 Cinnamon in
Juarez have obtained permission
from the American authorities, in
case of imminent danger, to come

permits the admission of Chinese

UNITED Press Dispatch.l

London, Eng, November 29.-The
progress of Field Marshal Won Mack

be the chief feature of the Rumanian
campaign. There is hope on the part
of military experts here that the
Rumanians are making a successful
and orderly retreat to their next
line of defense along the Argesho
river and that there they will be
successful in bringing the Teutonic
advance to stop and hold it until
the Russians can arrive with rein
forcements. 1t has been noticed that
the reports of the Germans only
speak of territory gained and there
are no claims of large captures of
either men or munitions of war. This
leads the military experts here to
believe that the Rumanians have been
making an orderly retreat, and there
is yet hope that they may be able to
eXtricate themselves from their pres
ent predicament, and save their
country.
A dispatch from Paris reports that
the Rumanian capital has been
moved to Jassy. This report, how
ever, is as yet unconfirmed. This is
close to the Russian line and 200
miles northeast of Bucharest.
