 THEN ID CHIHUAHUA
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PRESlDIO, Tex, Nov. 15.-Juarez is Francisco Villas next border objective, after which a general attack on Chihua hua City, the state capital. is planned, according to plans revealed today by Villa leaders in the Ojinaga garrison. The capital of the new movement head ed by Villa is to be established there, according to this plan
 The Villa movement is l new one, having no connection with the Felix Diaz or other revolutionary movements, according to General Porfirio Ornelas, permanent commander of the Ojinaga garrison. The new movement is called the conventionist party" and is in fact a rival of the former movement by Villa called the conventionist movement, fol- lowing the convention of revolutionary chieftains at Agas Calientes.
 Mexican Consul Cosme Bengo Echea tonight transmitted orders to Colonel Flores, encamped at Vado Piedra, APO miles above Ojinaga, to proceed to Guadalupe, below Juarez to defend that town against an attack by Villa, mov- ing toward Juarez. It is believed Villa will go first to Villa Ahumada in order ohave water enroute.
 General Jose Murguia at Juarez also has been warned of the reported plans of the new Villa~or Conventionist party Formal request for the opening of tss Ojinaga port was made today by Colonel Miguel Trillo Villas private secretary. The request was transmit | ted to w. w. Carpenter, deputy col lector of customs at Fl Paso by Collec- tor Weisieger here. The port was l closed when Villa took the town, noth- | ing being permitted to cross today al | though Villa officers who came to the AJinaga ford said ehere was shortage of food in the town.
 | No one from the American side ha. | been permitted to enter the Mexican town proper, heavily armed guards be | ing stationed along the winding roaC i fro mthe ford to the mesa.
 | No one from the American side ha: seen Francisco Villa or Hipolito Vills in person, although there is every as | surance that he is in command. He i
 believed to have 1,5OO men in thi | district
 | Francisco Villa is in personal com mand of the Villa troops now occupy ing the Ojinaga port, according to Go lonel Trillo, who talked to the Asso ciated Press correspondent at noon to- day at the main Ojinaga ford. He sai Villa made trip of inspection of th country in the vicinity of Ojinaga an, would return tonight. Colonel Trill, also said Hipolito Villa was in Ojinag; with his famous brother having crosse, from the United States more than week ago.
 The private secretary to Villa pro nounced the report that Martin Lope was executed for failing to capture tn town yesterday morning as a pure fab rication and said Lopez was with Will.

Government May Be Asked To Loan
 Railroads Money
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The ques- tion of the government loaning money to the railroads was brought forward today at the advanced rate hearing be- fore the interstate commerce com mission.
 Samuel Req, president of the Penn sylvania railroad, said he believed the time had arrived when government loans should be seriously considered and Clifford Thorne, counsel for the shippers, stated he believed It the proper solution for the railroad situa- ton. MT. Req testified, however, that should the money be forthcoming rom the government it ought not to lnflu- ence the proposed freight increase while shippers counsel believed the plan should be made effective in lieu of the rate increase.
 Rea's statement regarding the loan came after he had testified that the PennsylvaNa could not get more freight cars until the middle of next wear that he did not believe it possible to increase the output of locomotives largely because of what he referred to as a disadvantageous labor situation, and that he did not believe 1t would be right to attempt bond Notation while the government was attempting to make large war loans.
 The hearing today was confined to eastern railroads. Besides MT. Req, Howard Elliott of the New Haven and G. NJ. Shriber, vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio were examined and John Muir of the Railway Investors league made a plea in favor of in- | creased rates.
 Mir. Thorn indicated in 8 statement given out tonight that shippers counsel will maintain that the government should loan money for needed improve ments and new equipment rather thar
 to allow the railroads to forward new i construction and build equipment witf l earnings

Thousands V1eW Night Spectacle
 On F01r Grounds

Thousands of spectators. tired after an all day pursuit of the elusive thrill, were not too tired last evening to turn out in full force again to view the stu pendous fireworks spectacle, ''The Battle of Verdun," staged within the inner circle of the half-mile track at the State Fair grounds.
 For two solid hours the sky in the vicinity of the fair grounds was blaze of vari- -colored light. Rockets, aerial pinwheels, bursting bombs, and sheets of flame spreading in gigantic maze of color were dazzling to the eye.
 Furthering the depictation of the battle front were scores Of red cross nurses, who hastened into the midst of the flames to remove the soldiers shot down in the fearful onslaught.
 During the pause in the tumultous uproar. the Boy Scouts paraded on the half-mile track, bearing with them two huge American flags, while the band played the national air and the crowd stood with barred heads.
 Next in line were the Red Cross nurses, followed by detachment of the police reserves.
 The spectacle was brought to a close with a combination of varied explo- sions and noises which reverberated with a deafening intonation through out tEe city. Giant bombs were shot from trench mortars high into the air exploding with a burst of fire and racket that sounded like a compound extract of double distilled fourth o1 July.
 Every automobile horn, and there were many of them at the fair, burst forth whistles were turned loose anf bells were rung. The whole combined to make up an aggregation of noise which justified the words of Sherman if the reproduction of Verdun was cor | rect in it's proportions.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-With only three working days remaining for the Young Mems Christian Asociation's war work fund campaign, the National War Work Council issued an appeal here to- night for workers 'in every state, city and town in the country to exert heroic efforts to secure small size as well as large subscriptions"
 Otherwise" the appeal said, 'the amount necessary to provide care and comfort for our soldiers in the field and those of our allies may not be realized"
 Approximately s1S,000,000 of the de- sired s35, 100000 is yet to be raised and the council expressed concern over re- ports that most of the S17,000,0O0 thus far subscribed consisted of large sub scriptions, most of which had been provided nadvance of the campaign
 At a special meeting of campaign directors today, George W. Perkins, chairman of the councils finance con- mittee,' emphasized the necessity of soliciting small subscriptions.
 Many a nicllle makes a muckle. should be our motto all through the re- mainder of the campaign MT. Per kins said. While we doubtless will receive other large contributions, we can only hope to secure the remaining $1S,000,000 by obtaining large num- Der of subscriptions of various amounts"
 The central department, with head quarters in Chicago, is leading the five other districts of the country with total subscriptions of s7,24s,967 while the eastern department with headquarters in New York is second with $6,S07, ,60S.
 Subscriptions reported from other districts are:
