To Secure Food

FL PASO, Nov 15.--At the Mexican consulate general here today it was said that Villas purpose in taking Ojinaga was to replenish his food sup ply and to dispose of one million pesos in silver bullion which his men had gathered in loot duirng the past few months. Consul General Seguin, while protesting to be without official ad- vices on the subject, said that General Francisco Murgia would undoubtedly despatch a strong force from Chihua- hua City to attack the rebels from the rear and thus make Ojinaga untenable for the Villa followers.
 Among Mexican refugees, men who are generally hostile to the Carranza government. but who were never identified with Villa, there was open rejoicing over the fall of Ojinaga. A representative of one of the largest mining companies operating in western Chihuahua is authority for the state ment that the Villa attack on Oiinaga is the first open move in a general plan for the overthrow of Carranza. This man claims to have information that Villa has but recently returned from southern Mexico, where he conferred with Emilio Zapata, Felix Diaz and other leaders of government fac

 Yesterday morning the enemy made an attack along the front Of Meletta d 'Avanti- Monte Fior-Monte Castell- Goberto and was repulsed. He repeat cd his attempt during the evening with larger forces and greater violence but was again repulsed.
 Columns which are advancing to- ward the front between Frisone and the confluence of the Brenta and Cis- mon rivers were caught under the fire of our artillery and stopped Large forces engaged our advanced line be- tween the Cismon and Piave rivers. Al Monte Roncone the enemy was re- pulsed. At Monte Tomatico our ad- vance posts withdrew after offering eT fective resistance, to positions prey;- ously decided upon.

LABOR MEN SPEND

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

BUFFALO, N. Y. Nov 15.-While committees were working long hours on the 165 resolutions submitted for consideration at the 51th annual con- vention af the American Federation of Labor, the delegates had another day of oratory in which speakers from two nations allied with the United States. counselled interna- tional cooperation of labor In the nations war plans.
 John Hill and Arthur Hayday or the British trades union congress and William Lodde, of the Canadian trades and labor congress, told how the rank and file of their organiza- tions had battled for democracy in the trenches and in the workships.
 When the history of British pa triotism is written" MT Hayday de- clared. '1t will be found that no class showed greater patriotism than ne British workingman."
 Major Edouard Requin and Lieu tenant Francois Monod, officers or the French staff now attached to the war college in Washington, spoke of France.
 With you and inspired by you" Lieutenant Monod told the delegates. France in the factories and in the trenches is fighting to win this wal, and we will succeed
 The resolutions committee, 1t is understood, devoted a greater part of today to the consideration of resolutions on industrial prepared ness for the protection of skilled tradesmen in the United states in the post ward period; the placing of all contracts on government work on the basis of an eight-hOur day; conscription of aliens, and for the naming of an emergency supply commission.
 The resolution on labor supply com mission was introduced by Vive Pres ident James A. Duncan. It is regarded as important as it deals particularly with the shipbuilding and metal trades and in a measure outlines what union labor will ask as a guarantee of the safeguard of it's members during a period of close cooperation with the federal government.
 I've suggest one section reads that for the purpose of carrying out the agreement in an effective manner an emergency labor supply commission connected with the department oi labor, independent of the United States clVll SerVlce commission, composed ol three or five members, on which com mission union labor shall predominate be appointed with authority to decide questions arising and to appoint depu- ties where and when, in their judg- ment it becomes necessary, the un- derstanding being that as far as prac- ticable the detail work shall be done by the union. Said emergency labor supply commission shall exist until the labor problems caused by the war are readjusted after the war is over anC the fighting force demobilized.' A favorable report on the resolution is expected.

Going After PaIaez

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Interna- tional apprehension has been aroused by the apparent determination of Pres ident Carranza of Mexico to drive the long unmolested Manuel PalaeZ and his little rebel army from the oil fields near Tampico. There was evident to- day ill allied legations and embassies feeling that German influence had played a part in starting this move which may prove embarrassing to the kaiser's enemies.
 General Manuel Dieguez has been sent into the field with a considerable force with orders to clear the country between San Luis Potosi and Tampico of rebels. Official reports reaching Washington indicate the effectiveness of this work. Already he has de- feated one body of rebel troops and killed Magdalena Cedillo, one of the two cedillo brothers who long have been the leaders of the revolutionists in that part of Mexico. It is expected General FfegueZ will move towards the coast and attack Palaez.
 Representatives of foreign govern ment display more concern over the news of the campaign against Palaez than they have over any other recent development in Mexican affairs. The Tampico situation is of vital concern because of the huge volume of oil shipped from that port to the allies.
 The fear now frankly is expressed that Carranza's action may result in an attempt by the rebels to destroy oil properties.

He said Nicholas Fernandez was in command on the plaza.
 Twenty four federal and Villa wounded are in Ojinaga and permission has been asked to bring them to Presi- dio for treatment.
 Colonel Trillo denied the execution of prisoners. He said one federal colonel who was wounded last night had been given the liberty of the town pending the removal of wounded pris- oners to the American side.
 Villas losses were comparatively light, according to Captain Jose Maria Jaurette of Villas general staff, who accompanied Villas secretary to the ford. A dead federal officer was seen on the Mexican side of the river today
 Federal prisoners continued arriving in camp tonight. Four halted soldiers, found by an American patrol at the Hacienda ford, six miles above Ojinaga said they had been hiding in the river bottoms all day All the prisoners, now numbering 800. have been placed in the interment camp established near the army camp. Tonight they were singing falsetto Spanish songs, strum- ing guitars and apparently were happy. Maria Santa Ana, wife of common soldier, is the only woman in camp.
 Among the interned soldiers are a number of boys.
 General Juan Espinosa y Cordova and Colonel Rosando Castro, were de- tained at army headquarters. Funeral services were held today for Juan Vala, Presidio Mexican, killed in Ojinaga. It was a typical Mexican funeral with the crepe and candles An the doors and windows of the adobe house. There were the waiting men, women and children on foot in the pro- cession, which was led by a string band.
 A Mexican boy named Munoz, well known here, was executed at Ojinaga by federal soldiers yesterday morning after the attack. He was with Martin Lopez.
 Mexican women refugees crossing the border today from Ojinaga said the fighting yesterday was desperate. They said they saw many men fall in the streets.
 officers today denied reports
 .mcrican operators of machine guns during the battle had been killed. It is believed now they escaped to the Villa soldiers are wearing red and white ribbons on their arms to dis lAHS ulSu lueiH rum lHo 1eUcTdl MeNl- can soldiers, it was learned today. All are well mounted, seem to have plenty of ammunition and federal officers said they are brave fighters. Rumors were circulated here today that several Villa leaders were killed. It was established. however, that the reported execution of Martin Lopez was & pure fabrication. There is a re- port tonight that Idefoso Sanchez has been killed, but this is not credited.
 Federal commanders continue to place their dead at 70, and their miss ing at 75. but Villa leaders say the enemys casualties will total more than 200.

CATTLEMEN CLAIM
 CATTLE STARVING.
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

GLOBE Nov. 15.-Appeals to con- gressmen and federal officials at Wash ington for immediate release to Ari- zona of sufficient freight cars to re- move cattle threatened with starvation were sent tonight by business men, local commercial organizations, the county food administration and pa triotic bodies. Cattlemen say that un- less immediate relief is forthcoming, thousands of head of cattle will perish.
 Twelve hundred head of yearling steers, valued at S42,000, are being held at Radium, near here, awaiaing ship ment. The local range is barren, due to the drouth and stockmen say it is impossible to feed the cattle hay at s35 ton. as range cattle cannot be fed hay satisfactorily.
 The cattle were driven into Globe six days ago. One of the steers died yesterday and twelve more died today Owners will be forced to drive the cat tie back to their home range, it is said unless conditions are remedied, or lose the entire herd.
 The situation for cattle throughout the state is critical. catt!emen say.

made a tour along 30 miles of the Piave battle front while g. terrific ar iillery fire was in progress on both banks of the river and the whole or dinarily peaceful valley was trans formed into a blazing inferno.
 From a suitable observation point the view led across the river to the position occupied by General von Bue lows German troops, who had occu pied the town of Nidor, over which hung huge German balloon. Further along, from a castle commanding the heights of Aosola. could be plainly seen the two opposing lines running along the east and west banks of the river, together with the Italian posi- tions stretching back on the hills to Grappa and the Montello Crest, and an enemy battery firing from the hills on the eastern side of the river.
 An abandoned warehouse on the bank of the Piave river further down afforded a view of massive bridge with the two middle spans blown up and of the great pail of smoke hanging over Benson an dthe Island of Grave, where the enemy had crossed the river, but were still held back on the rivers edge by the fierce counter attacks of the Italians.
 All along the lower Stretcn or the river the bombardment was continuous and the whole countryside, stricken under the fire, was fleeing from the terrain within the range of the guns.
 The Italian lines were holding well at all points and everything indicated the thoroughness of the concentration that had been effected by the army along the new lines.
 In the new trenches along the river bank and among the columns advanc- ing along the roads the men displayed the best of spirits and evidenced their determination in the desperate struggle for the holding of this Piave line which is now reaching it's climax.
