FL PASO, Jan. 3.-Unconfirmed re ports of skirmishing between a de tachment of Villa scouts and a part of General Francisco Murguia's col umn near Horcasitas, thirty miles south of Chihuahua City, were given out here late today by the recently organized Villa junta. The Villa scouts were said to have ridden down from the hills and to have engaged a reconnoitering party sent out by General Murguia. Artillery firing could be heard at Chihuahua City, ac- cording to this report.
 At Santa RosaIia
 Francisco Villa was said by this same source to have been at Santa Rosalia yesterday, and to have driven the defacto troops back to Ortiz, be- tween Santa Rosalia and Chihuahua City.
 Government agents here said to- night they had information that Villa was preparing to establish his gov ernment at some city in northern Mexico soon. A number of Villas for mer advisors were expected to arrive at the border soon to join Villa. A close watch is being kept for these Villa partisans who are supposed to be on their way here from Los An geles, San Antonio and New York, it was added.
 Chinese Fleeing
 Chinese and Arabs were reported Q be coming to the border from Chi huahua City on every train for fear Villa would retake the capital and i'll all subjects of these nations. One Chinese refugee said he had been ad-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-While a subcommittee of the Senate military committee continued today the col lection of data and opinions of army officers on universal military training House committee worked on details of the sS00.000. 900 military budget for 1918 and the Senate public lands com mittee was informed that efforts to reach a compromise with the navy de partment cn legislation affecting na- " oil lands again had failed. Senator Pittman Of Nevada, chair man of subcommittee. appointed 10 confer with navy officials, said efforts now would be made to pass oil lands gress over the objection of the de- partncnt. Western senators express ed indignation at the attitude of the navy. The controversy is over pro posed relief for claimants on oil land included in naval petroleum reserve No. ? in California. The department has held that passage of the pending bill would threaten the navy's oil re- serve supply and make it dangerous to build oil-burning battle craft in the future.
 To Train Millions
 The military subcommittee heard Colonel Stephen FOote of the coast artillery school and Colonel Charles D. Rhodes of the mounted service school. Both strongly favored uni versal service legislation and agreed that the present volunteer system. particularly the national guard feat ure was failure. Colonel Foote pre- -sented plan of his own, providing three months summer training for each of four years for all available youths aged F years. A million boys could be given this training annually. he said. at cost of about $10O,000.000

It is not alone food that has been
got into Germany in this way. There
have been materials for actual NUM-
tions of war sent from Sweden thru
Denmark largely in excess of what
Sweden could supply except for inn
ports from Russia and the United
States Now our government is to have
a control by which all this aid to the
enemy may be stopped by an absolute
embargo upon shipping these things to
the neighboring neutrals.
We can have no desire to deprive
these of what they need for them
selves If we have it to spare, but If
the only way to keep it from the
enemy is to withhold it from them,
that will have to be done. We are not
likely now to have much to spare af-
ter supplying the needs of those with
whom we are allied, and whatever
there may be we can make better use
of than letting any part of it go where
it may reach the enemy or help some
thing else to it. 1t may make those
neutrals suffer, but they will suffer
more if the war is prolonged or Ger
many's power is kept up.

TRAVELERTE
Am Unrecorded Battle.
By NIKsAH

The real history-the history OF
thrilling end intimate deeds and, de-
tails locked up in the minds of the
people who took part in 1t. 1t seldom
gets into the books.
For example, in Taos, New Mexico.
there Is living today a lady who was
witness of the murder OF Governor
Bent, the first white governor of New
Mexico The experience was the more
vivid and narrowing by reason OF the
fact that the governor was her rather.
1t was just after the Mexican war.
New Mexico had been occupied by
Doniphan and Kearney without re-
sistance, and Bent had been appointed
governor Some OF the Mexfeans and
Indians secretly formed plot Tor an
uprising all over New Mckee, IN which
all the white people were to be killed.
It happened just seventy years ago
this summer.
In most parts of the territory the
plot came to naught, but at Taos the
Mexicans and Indians carried out
their purpose. The goveiEo opened
his door in response to their Knock,
whereupon they fired a volley OF ar
rows at him. Three or -Four of these
stuck in his skull, out he remained
standing and self-possessAd, parley1ng
to gain time for the women and chill
dren. One Indian tried to shoot Mrs
bent, WnefeupOn d peOHf u NucAicslit
woman slave, stepped before her mis-
tress and took the arrow In her throat.
Meantime a breach had been made
in the wall, and all tried to escape
into the next house. Governor Bent
was unable to pass thru because of
the arrows in his head. However, ar
ter assisting the women. he calmly
pulled the shafts out, one by one, and
followed them. He was pursued by
the Indians, who killed him and cut
his head off Two small boys were
also killed They had hidden in the
hay in loft. The Indians prodded
about with their lances until they
had pierced the small bodies Most
of the women were speared. Some
children were saved by having their
faces stained so that they would pass
for natives, and there are persons in
Taos today who remember that bloody
morning when they were thus dis
| euised by their parents.

DOCTOR NANsEN,s MISSION.

Norway has sent one of her most
distinguished citizens, Doctor Nansen,
to this country to plead with the
United States for food. The doctor
declares that his country is facing
starvation. 1t does not seem to have
occurred to the Norwegian govern
ment appeal to Germany to stop
the destruction of food carried in
ships. so that there might be enough
to go around.
Doubtless Norway. as we'll as the
other so-called neutral countries, is
in hard lines, but it is one of the re-
suits of war that the innocent by
stander often must suffer.
Now that the United States is act
ually at war with Germany and pre-
pairing at great cost to do an effectuaI
part in bringing that great power to
term which will make the peace of
the world safe hereafter, it is certain
that we can no longer permit the neu-
trail countries most accessible to that
beIligerent empire to feed our enemy
at our own expense.
We can understand the hard posi-
ton that Holland, Denmark. Norway
and Sweden are in regarding their
relations with Germany, but so far as
they are getting supplies from the
United States we mus. make certain,
not only that they are not passed on
to Germany to meet her war needs
but that they do not furnish the ma
terial for supplies that are passed on
or take the place of such as would
be consumed at home but for the
chance of substitution.
There is authentic information that
makes it undeniable that various
products essential to the German
armies. including meat and fats have
all along been sent into Germany al
highly profitable prices. as they could
not have been but for imports from
the United States. The cattle sIaugh-
tered or alive. may not have come from
this country, but great part of the
feed on which they were kept and fat
tened did. In many cases there is in

Since the gas company a few years
ago offered to furnish gas at 32 cents,
the morning paper would like to know
why Judge Booth has fixed rate OF
SO cents. The judges reasons for his
action doubtless were found in the
evidence submitted, and are set forth
in his opinion. That the company
could and would have furnished gas
at 80 cents there is no reason to doubt.
The public utilities commission which
assumed to know all about the matter
declared gas could be furnished for
2S cents The court may have rea-
soned that it is proper that the peo-
pie of Kansas shall, in some measure,
compensate the gas company for the
heavy losses and expenses it has been
caused by their public utilities COM
mission. While the gas company was
being held up by litigat;on others have
grabbed the supply. That fact may
also prevent the supplying of gas at
the rate originally proposed.

which several persons were seriously
injured, but which ended in victory
for the loyal Britons, who succeeded
in dispensing the crowds. The peace

to hoe today. There can be no peace
for the minority until the rights of
the majority have been vindi. ated

than to prolong the war. The attempt
