VT BADLY
B||EATENN The
I. JUAREz FIGHT
Deserter Claims the Rebels
Forces Were Disor-
ganized.

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 1.-Francisco
Villas army which advanced on
Juarez with the intention Of conquer
ing northern Mexico and establishing
q rebel government in the north. re-
tired before United States troops
q deserters, impressed soldiers who
escaped and civilians who saw them
at Villa Ahumada.
After two days and nights Of In
termittent fighting for possession of
Juarez, Villa had depleted his m
munition supply. A member of his
staff who came to the border after
the retirement said many of Villas
men had no ammunition. Only Villas
Soldiers had thrown their rifles away
while crossing the desert with the
American cavalry In pursuit.
Villas t~elegrapher, who escaped
from Villa at Villa Ahumada, reported
to Mexican officials in Juarez that the
rebels were without food, and that
their morale was very low.
Discussions took place among
Villas men after the Juarez battle.
Martin Lopez. who led the fighting IN
& Juarez, is said to have denounced
Villa and accused the bandit leader
of deceiving his men into believing the
United States government would rec
ognize the Villa revolution and Ameri-
ear troops would not modest them
when they attacked Juarez.
Another report reaching the border
stated Villa selected 1000 picked men
from his forces and started south to-
ward Parral, announcing that he
could not fight the Americans" and
saying he was going back to the
mountains. Villa activities in the vi
cinity Of Parral recently would tend
to confirm this report. General An
geles was reported to have separated
from Villa and to be hiding in the
hills near the border.
Villa partisans here denied that
Villas army was demoralized. They
say one of Villas tricks is to scatter
his forces after a battle and hen re-
assemble them when he is ready to
conduct another campaign. Pillar de
Conchos, on the Conchos river near
Parral. is said by Villas agents here
to be the rendezvous for Villas forces
n all of his bands are drifting in
that direction.

wilson To MEET
ALLIED PREM|ERS
7 TOD|SCUSS PEACE

PARIS, March IS. (By the Associated
Press. president Wilson will hold an
important conference with Premiers
Lloyd George, Orlando and C+emencesu
at the Paris White House" today. This
meeting of premiers, representing the
supreme directing force of the peace
conference, takes the place OF the ses-
sion Of the supreme council which has
been postponed until tomorrow to per-
NIT the meeting.
The question to be discussed Is the
large one of securing accord between
the great powers on all phases of the
peace treaty and its early presentation
to the Germans. 1t is expected an
agreement will be reached as to the in
clusion of the league of nations as an
integral part OF the peace treaty, in ac-
cordance with the resolution which has
been already adopted by the peace con-
ference.
Special interest attaches to today's
conference in view of recent reports of
divergencies between the powerS as to
the inclusion Of the league plan in the
treaty. The meeting Is looked upon as
an earnest, decisive effort to reconcile
all views into a common understand
ing for an early conclusion Of peace In
comprehensive form, including mill
tary, naval economic and financial
terms as well as the league of nations
The general situation as to the peace
treaty has been greatly clarified during
the past "a hours by discussions be-
tween the heads of various delegations
and American commissioners took the
view today that the attitudes of the
American, French and British govern
ments would be brought into entire ac-
cord. The conferences which have been
held by Lord Robert Cecil of Great
Britain Lepn Bourgeois, of France, and
Col. House, of the United States, have
reached a tentative accord and there
is reason to believe todays meeting will
approve the action thus taken.
Present plans contemplate the com =
pletion of hearings given neutral ma =
tions on the league of nations during
the present week and during the sue
ceeding week attention will he given to
boundaries, reparation and other
branches Of the treaty. II is believed
the revised league covenant will be
ready for adoption at the end of next
week.

DR.. j. l.. Andrews, superintendent of
the city health department, says that
every effort will be made to prevent a
spread of the malady and to this end
free vaccination with antityphoid serum
will be given daily at the health de-
partment from 10 am. to IL noon. If
the situation becomes more serious, he
said, vaccine stations will be estab-
lished over the city for free vaccina-
tion,
Physicians, especially those reporting
the cause Of the death Of their patients,
are of the opinion that carriers got into
the contaminated water and Is the di-
rect cause Of the prevalence of typhoid
In Memphis.
They argue that the period Of incuha-
ton for the typhoid germ is from two
to four weeks and this they assert
bears out their contention The city
water supply became contaminated from
q broken sewer pipe Feb, Is, That gives
q days for incubation from the time of
the contamination to March L., when
the new cases began to- develop,
There was no typhoid In Memphis
when the water became polluted, aC-
Cording to DIR. Andrews, and II the
prevalence OF the disease at the present
time was caused by the contaminated
water, this water must have been fed
with germs from carrier cases unlnown
to the city health department,
DR.. Andrews said that during 1918 the
city health department made a strong
effort TO destroy carriers IN the city,
being made Of 100 persons
who had suffered from the malady, Only
five carriers were found In this number,
and they were promptly isolated and
the carrier germs removed.

here Judge Henry d. Clayton, of the
