 JUAREZ, Mexico Jan. 27.-Gaarded by a detachment of defacto troops, a refugee train left Casas Grandes late today for the border carrying more than 300 Mexican, American and Chi nese refugees away from the zone which is being evacuated by the Ara ican troops. The train is scheduled to arrive here early tomorrow morning, but the passengers will sleep on board until the international bridges are opened for traffic. The crowds, of ref ugees at the station in Casas GrandeS were unable to find room on board the Mexico Northwestern train and were forced to accompany the expeditionary forces from Colonia Dublan or await another train.
 General Jose Santos Murguia who left JuareZ today for Casas Grandes, will reorganize the Carranza troops in that district to occupy the places eVac- uated by the American forces. How ever, he has only comparatively small number of troops in western Chihuahua, and unless the reinforce ments arrive soon from Chihuahua City overland, the Villa followers are expected to occupy the greater part of the territory abandoned by the Amer jeans. Villa forces were reported late today in the vicinity of Casas Grandes and Villa himself was said by local Villa partisans to have abandoned his campaign against Gen. Francisco Mur- guia and to nave moved northward into the former zone of American Oper- ations with a large body of men.
 Passengers arriving here today from Chihuahua City reported having seen 50 Villa followers going toward Fl Valle from the vicinity of Carrizal. They were driving a herd of horses ahead of them.
 The new federal order stopping ali travel between the hours of D. m. and ' a. m. from Juarez to Fl Paso, except to d limited lew nolulnS passes, went into effect tonight as a precaution against typhus, according to an unof- ficial announcement. The order says that night travel is shut off because of the lack of inspectors to examine the incoming MeXicans. But it is admitted unofficially that the trouble some of the Americans have got into at night in the gambling halls of Juarez have had something to do with the order. In Juarez, the Mexicans say that the American authorities fear Villa may capture the town some night and want to keep their subjects out.

Hard Struggle Ahead

The people of this country are beginning to get their eyes open to the seriousness of the war situation. For a time it seemed from the talk of many of our leading statesmen so called that the mere fact that the United States had declared war would show Germany the hopefulness of victory for the Central allies and the folly of prosecuting the War further. But apparently Germany does not see the matter in the same light. Instead she has built more submarines and is sinking more ships than ever, and she seems to think she can starve out England this summ CT. While she is mistaken about that, she certainly is causing grave anxiety to the English cabinet.
 Not only are the Germans and their allies sinking more vessels. but they are putting up d stiff fight in the trenches. It IS true that the English and French are driving them back on the western front, and the English army on the Tigris has driven back the Turkish army, yet the allies have made only a dent in their foes lines, and, though there is but little doubt that they can hold the advance they have made, it will take another year to drive the Germans back to their own frontier, providing they can feed themselves, and 1t seems probable they can do that.
 Now the situation in Russia is giving the Entente cause for grave doubt as to her intentions. Active operations have ceased on the eastern front. Since the revolution there has been great disorder and confusion, though the provisional government has assured the allies that Russia will not make a separate peace, The late demonstrations by the mobs in several large cities raise a doubt whether the govern ment can carry out the promises made. A separate peace with Germany would surprise no one who has been observing the course oe events in that country.
 Consequently the English and French commissioners to tmS country are asking us to send an army over to the front as quick iy as possible, to take the place of Russia. and possibly Italy, for the latter country seems unable to drive the Austrians any turth- CT back. and is said to be about exhausted herself.
 We. with our immense re- sources in men and munitions, if properly handed, can undoubt- edly turn the tide of victory, yet it vii! be hard struggle, and we must make up our minds to submit to many privations and hardships, for our allies are nearly exhausted, and need all the men we can send them. We may rest assured that many who cross the ocean will never come back.
