WASHINGTON, Mar. 30.-So the United States may not run the risk of sacrificing its scientists on the fir ing line, as the European belligerents have done before realizing their value behind the army, the bureau of mines is conducting a census of technical experts at the request of the council of national defense.
 Twenty-Five thousand letters are be- ing sent out to mining corporations to develop the qualifications and na- tionality of their technical employees. The American Institute of Mining En- gineers and the American Chemical Society are cooperating.

 Villa Out-Tricked.
 The attack, which had been expect ed by the garrison forces, was launch ed at 5:30 o'clock this morning in the direction of Quinta Carolina, north of the city. and spread rapidly to the Santo Nino railway station, the store houses of the Pierce Oil company. and the abandoned city cemetery. It was then the battery on Santa Rosa Hill, the key to the city which Villa took by a rush in his successful at tack of last November, opened up on the rebels. aided by a cleverly placed battery at the central railway station.

 Defense Loses 120.
 From an order of the day found on a rebel prisoner, Villas expedition is shown to have numbered $500 men, all cavalry, which was only half the size of the defending Carranza force, whose losses in dead and wounded amounted to the comparatively small number of 12O men.
 No Decisive Victory.
 The Carranza officers here do not assert t.iat the victory was decisive, although it caused the enemy to flee in disorder.
 Villa was reported to be in personal command of the attack, but remained safe distance from the zone of fire. The rebels were well provided with ammunition but lacked food and clothing and suffered on the battle field from need of water, as all of the streams are dried up at this season of the year.
 General Francisco Murguia kept up a constant personal inspection of the lines and outposts in his motorcar during the battle and is now taking every precaution against any further attempt against the city.
 All saloons and stores were closed today and the sale of liquor forbidden on the penalty of death. Good order has been maintained throughout.
