VILLA TAKES TOWN
AFTER WARM FIGHT
MEXICAN FEDERAL TROOPS ARE
DRIVEN FROM OJlNAGA BY
FOLLOWERS OF BANDIT.
Thousand VilIista Troops Attack 6or'
der Town and Drive Defenders
Across River, Many Being
Killed During Fight.

Preside, Texas.-After long pc
Rod of inaction, Francisco Villa has
again been heard from. This time ne
is fighting his c~n countrymen along
the border instead of attacking Amer
lean border towns, his latest attack
being upon the town Of Ojinaga.
Mexican federal troops evacuated
Ojinaga at s 80 Wednesday night and
came to the American side, where they
surrendered their arms. General Juan
Espinosa Cordova, commander, sur
rendered to American troops in COM
mand of Captain Theodore Barnes, Jr,
commander Of American troops here.
He said the fighting was hand to hand
before the evacuation.
The rout started soon after o'clock
and by $50 the evacuation had be-
come a mob seeking safety on the
American side of the river.
The federal troops were rounded up
by American patrols, disarmed and
marched to the army camp, where
they were guarded.
The Villa troops number 1000, ac-
cording to the Mexican commander.
The fighting was confined to the
streets of Ojinaga and in the NUM-
cipal plaza since the attack opened at
twilight.
Being in position to leap at the de-
tenders of the little cluster of adobe
huts called town, the Villa forces
swept past the outpost like a wave of
fire and charged down the streets and
into the military headquarters.
No accurate estimates can be made
OF the number of government dead. II
Is admitted by government officials
on this side that no quarter was given
or asked on either side.
One of the two Americans who were
operating the machine guns in Ojinaga
when the first attack was made was
wounded during the fighting at night
and was later shot by Villista troopers
as be lay on the ground in front of the
general headquarters. The other dis.
appeared. according to Colonel Castro
the federal commander.
The other American was believed to
have escaped across the river to the
American side. but is still missing.

Lack Of Cooperation.

Washington.--The demand Of the
United States for unity Of action
among the allies, as result Of the
Paris conference, will be more than
general in its terms, It was learned
here Saturday from authoritative
sources. Colonel House and the men,
bers Of his mission have gone "loaded
for bear" They have in their possess
sion facts and figures which will go to
prove how the allied cause has suf-
fered through lack Of cooperation in
every phase of the war.
They viii represent the need Of:
l. Military and naval cooperation.
.. Pooling Of financial, economic
and munitions resources.
Z. The joint direction for the COM
mon good Of the course and cargo Of
every ship that sails the seas.
The first step is already in fair

indicated that the United States will
