Ojinaga Deserted

Presidio, Tex. November 19.-Oji- naga was almost deserted today, less than 200 men garrisoning the town across the Rio Grande river from here. Rumors of a battle up the Conchos river from Ojinaga and also of fight near Cuchillo Pasado, 60 miles from Oiinaga, between Villas column and the federal forces of General Her. nandez, have been brought here, but are unconfirmed. Assertions that Villa would return to the border in 20 days were made by men here who asserted they are in touch with his movements. dicating that one of the strongest fac- tions of the opposition had gone over to the moderates. The prediction was made that the Rolsheviki would be over thrown by a military victory or fall by in ternal dissens.on owing to the evident incapacity of tie radical leaders to ob- tain the rfarms embodied in their pro gramme.

INJURY
PROVES MORE SERIOUS THAN
ORIGINALLY THOUGHT WHEN
sQuIREs is TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL.

1t was not discovered that Norman
Squires of North Chester street had
fractured his left leg, when he fell
down the steps in front of the Knox
county court house Friday afternoon,
until the injured man was taken to
the NJ G s. hospital and underwent
a thorough examination.
Several people saw Squires fall and
rushed to him, picking him up and
sending him to the NJ. & s. hospital
for an examination. When he was
being taken to the hospital, Squires
said that he thought he had sustained
a fractured limb. Those who were
with him did not think the injury
was as serious as that.
After the examination had been
made, the fracture was reduced by a
local physician at the hospital.
Saturday, Squires was resting very
well, but will have to remain at the
NJ. & S. hospital for some time. The
bone was fractured just below the
knee.

General Scott rendered command of

Mr.. Patterson replied that he would be
unable to attend the inaugural cere-
monies ana suggested the appointment
of \. j. HuntOon department com
mander of the District of Columbia, as
marshal of the veteran division. That
advice was followed. Commander Pat
tcrson said ilso that the G. A. Il. vet
Grams preferred to march the entire
distance of the parade instead of en-

POTATO WAR IS NOW
THREATENED IN ENGLAND
Dearth of Tubers on the Market
Sends Prices SkyroCketing.
Lloyd George Intervenes.

Premier Lloyd Georges Intervention
In the potato crisis IL regarded as an
eleventh hour effort to avert the po-
tato war which has been threatening
for some time in England Lloyd's
Weekly News says that people every
where are discontinued over the dearth
aud dcarness Of potatoes. while retail
cls are rehelliOus and refuse to sell at
the price fixed by the comptroller.
Serious famine exists In virtually all
tile large Lancashire towns, particu-
arly Manchester. The usual weekly
output from the Ormskirk district of
Lancashire is between 1900 and 1000
tons, but this month not 100 tons have
been sold by retail, yet 1t is estimated
that there are more than 10000 tons of
potatoes within ten mile radius of
Ormskirk.
Acting under ORDERS from Dublin,
the police of Ireland visited the mar
kcts at Drogheda, Middleton. Limerick
and elsewhere aud ordered the farmer
sellers not to charge more than a shil-
ling for fourteen pounds OF potatoes.
The Weekly Dispatch says that the
potato famine is due to the nonarrival
Of stocks OH the market, owing to the
alleged withholding Of stocks by farm
ers for better prices.
