HUNGER STRIKING SUFFRAGETTES ARE
 FREED FROM JAIL
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON Nov. 27.-Twenty- two hunger striking militants of the woman's party were turned out of the District of Columbia jail today with the explanation that their sentences of from 15 days to seven months had been com muted to expire at once.
 No official statement as to the cause was to be had, but the women were jubilant in the belief that they had succeeded in demonstrating that the jail was not big enough for both them and their keepers.
 Nine other militants still are impris- oned They have not been hunger striking and the authorities were not in such a hurry to be rid of them. There were intimations tonight, how ever, that they too will be released to- morrow. Among those freed were Miss Alice Paul, national chairman of the woman's party, sentenced five weeks ago to serve three months imprison- ment for so-called picketing of the White House.
 Home coming to the woman's party headquarters was the occasion of cele- bration and feasting. Some of the party had to be put to bed but even those who were weakest managed to enjoy the delicacies and to forget jail fare and feeding tubes.
 Speculation as to why the prisoners were released covers a wide field. Most of the women believe that Police Judge Mullowney, who sentenced them and commuted the sentence, received or ders from higher up' and that the administration has decided that the policy of sending them to jail be aban- fdoned.
 At the woman's party headquarters it was said tonight further demonstra- tions at the White House will be staged until after President Wilson delivers his annual address to congress next week. The militants hope the presi- dent will include a recommendation for a federal suffrage amendment in the message.

GERMANS TRY ID
 INFLAME OPINION
 AGAINST AMERICA
TRepublican A.P. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-Inforna- tion revealing the extent of misrep- resentation employed by Germany in an effort to inflame public opinion against the United States in neutral, as well as hostile countries, is reach ing Washington. The propagandists have been especially active in Switz- erland and Sweden.
 One of the principal reports req lied upon to stir up feeling in Switzerland is that an American army will pass through that country in the spring of 1918. Other misrepre- sentations include reports of mistreat- ment of Swiss subjects in the United States and antagonism in this coun- try against the Swiss.
 An entirely different plan is usee in Sweden. There German agents give the widest publicity to letters purporting to have been written by persons in the United States. These represent the American people as in different to the war with the gov ernment sternly suppressing "uncom- plimentary newspapers and peace orators"

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 2.--The trial here of thirty -four persons charged with having conspired to foment an uprising against British rule in India was marked today by the refusal to tes- tify of one of the governments star witnesses and completion of the cross examination of another witness who, the prosecution contends, was a gobe- tween for the princii ass in the alleged plot. The witness who refused to tes- tify was Jodh Singh, who appeared for the prosecution in Hindu plot trials in British India and Chicago.
 When Jodh Singh declined to testify, thereby changing his status from witt ness to a defendant on trial. and was arraigned on and pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy, Hindue defend ants in court created a commotion with their cries of elation and encourage ment

hand to hand fighting set in. But the guns, fists and hand grenades were freely brought into play and many men fell to the ground before the rest gave up resistence and surrendered. After a bare hour the German storming troops were back in their own trenches with booty and prisoners.
 There they stood before us, these young men from the land of liberty. They were sturdy and sportsmanlike in build. Good natured smiles radiated from their blue eyes and they were quite surprised that we did mot pro pose to shoot them down as they had been led in the French training camp to believe we would do.
 They know no reply to our query, why does the United States carry on war against Germany? The sinking of American ships by U-boats, which was the fight pretext, sounds a trifle stale. One prisoner expressed the opinion that we had treated Belgium rather badly. Another asserted that it was Lafayette who brought America French aid in the war of independ- ence and because of this the United States would stand by France"

BISBEE, Nov. 27.-The Arizona chapter of the American Mining Con- gress today received notice that silVe< price fixation hearings will be held in Washington Friday and Saturday. The chapter has arranged for representa- tion of Arizona silver producers in the hearings.
 Governor Campbell and the govern ors of Nevada and Montana have also joined in representations which will be presented.

The Germans poured a heavy machine gun fire against the British from the win dows and roofs of buildings.
 This machine gun fire presented the main difficulty to the advance, for the Germans in the hamlet were working from behind walls and other cover, while it was necessary for the British to charge across more or less open stretches giving the enemy a good chance to sweep hteir ranks with an intense fire.

FEDERAL TROOPS ENCOUNTER

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

JUAREZ, Nov. 27.-That fighting has occurred between Laguna. and Galliego, on the main line of the Mex ican Central, 175 miles south of here, was admitted tonight. What the ex tent of the fighting and the size of the Villa attacking force Is not known as both the railroad and federal telegraph lines have been cut and out of com mission all day. For this reason only the most meager reports have reached here. The passenger train which was scheduled to arrive here today from Chihuahua City did not reach the bor- der ard the southbound train, with troop escorts and an armored car was held in the station yards late today awaiting news from the south.
 Mexican officials here admitted the possibility of an engagement near Chi huahua City as the Villa and federal columns have now been in that vicinity long enough to engage each other. How ever the reported fighting between La guna and Galliego was not thought to be a general engagmeent but probably raid by Villa cavalry to cut the rail- road and telegraph lines between the border and Chihuahua City. An attack upon Chihuahua City by Villa was con- sidered highly probable as that is known to have been one of his ob- jectives.
 Following a number of alarms late last night, the Juarez garrison troops were held under arms tonight. A cir sus tent has been erected overlooking the pass to house the heavy guard which is on duty there both day and night. A rush order was given here late today for two military trains to be made up at once and loaded with troops to be sent south.

Villa Denounces Murgas

PRESIDIO, Tex, Nov. 27.-Dated at Cuchillo Parade, sixty miles south of here, November 20 and brought to Oji- naga by courier, a statement was given to the Associated Press here late today signed hy Francisco Villa denouncing the two Murga brothers and their brothers-in-law for joining the federal troops at Chihuahua City after they had been affiliated with Villa.
 In this written statement, the sig nature of which has been authenticated here, Villa confirmed previous reports that he and a number of his staff made a trip through western, central and southern Mexico in the interest of his new movement which he calls the Con- Ventionist party.
 After denouncing the Murga broth CTS for their desertion of his cause after they had made this tour of the re- public with him, Villa cited instances where the Murgas were alieged to have killed 12 civilians at Maria de la Torre, Zacatecas, using knives instead of bull lets. He also charged the Murga broth CTS with killing Villa colonel who at tempted to arrest them upon Villas or ders. Following this alleged crime Villa stated that they fled to the fed eral ranks for protection.
 This is a thing which did not dis turb me in the least as it is of no mo ment, neither did is surprise me be- cause among the 'Carrancistas there are men of the worst character" Villa concluded his statement.
