quarters at Chihuahua City, received
here late last night, said the revolu-
tionistS had launched o counter attack
on Jimenez and were battling the fed

news of the counter attack was the only
information on the battle available at
Juarez. Communication lines to Jime-

the explosion Of trainload Of dyna-

The reports from Jimenez to Chihua-

They stated only that the rebels had

that they had driven the federals back

described In the aviators' message as a
success.
The Associated Press correspondent

hand-to-hand fighting was In progress
in Jinenea. His report gave no details,

PROTEST ON FUEL

Merchants and Manufactur.
ers to Combat Railways
Proposal.

Members of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association today were
organizing to place vigorous protest
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission against the proposed boost in
the freight rates on fuel oil hauled
from Baltimore to Washington, which
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio
Railroads are reported to be seeking.
Edward D. Shaw, secretary OF the
local merchants association, said today
the body would formally and vigorous
ly protest the proposed increase on fuel
oil from 10 to Is cents per hundred
pounds. He said the association had
been informed that the two railroads
planned shortly TO petition the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to approve
the boost in rates.
Most of the fuel oil consumed IN
Washington, Mr.. Shaw said, comes to
Washington from refineries in Balti.
more. The toost in rates, 1t was felt,
would result in an increased burden
being placed on local consumers.
The Merchants and Manufacturer
Association today also forwarded rec
ommendation to the District Commits
sioners urging institution Of Q regula-
ton under police powers requiring the
placing Of labels on gas tanks, stating
what brands Of gas are thus being sold
to motorists. The association has re-
ceived complaints regarding substitu-
tons through the use Of filing station
tanks not definitely labeled.
The M. 81 NJ. urges the Commissioners
to seek enactment Of legislation, re-
curing labelling Of gas tanks according
to the brand Of gas contained, In con-
formity with legislation now in force
In Maryland, Virginia. North Carolina
and Pennsylvania. In the meantime,
however. the city heads are urged TO
make this effective by means Of q city

exceedingly high figure Of 1000, 000, 600
marks ($250, 000, 000) annually were
agreed upon for reparations for 81
years. this, added to what would be re-
quired for war debts, would bring the
Reichs peak of annuities only to some
where in the neighborhood Of 2,300, 000,-
900 marks t$575.000, 000).
Once the PREPARATIONS extras have
been disposed Of at the end Of 81 years
Germany's annual payments would drop
to 1000 ,000, 600 marks ($400, 600, 000) or
even lower, since the maximum OF allied
war debt payments to the United States
In any one year is $401 100000. In
fact, the average annual war debt pay
ments in the concluding and highest
years is only slightly more than $780,
900 900 marks ($375 zoo, 0O0).
It will be seen therefore that Mr..
Young's basic figures are within the
reach Of what is generally admitted to
be Germanys capacity to pay, and
might range between l,500. 000, 000
marks, or possibly even lower, and the
peak which would scarcely be likely to
exceed the present figure Of Assoc, 000, 000
marks ($625, 00O, 000) at any point.
IN any case, close bargaining over
figures is generally expected for the
next two or three weeks. At the end
Of that time it appears doubtful at this
writing that the Germans will throw
down all that they would gain II they
accepted compromise.

KELLOGG TREATIES
PRAISED BY WALSH
Should Be as Binding as War
Pacts, Catholic Associa-
ton Told.

The Kellogg peace treaties we're de-
scribed as . notable step In the diFec-
tion Of world peace by Senator David
]. Walsh OF Massachusetts,. speaking be-
fore the Catholic Association for Inter-
national Peace. ut Catholic University
yesterday afternoon.
There Is no valid reason. Senator
Walsh insisted, why a treaty to keep
peace should not be as binding on a
nation as 4 contract for war. Treaties
to make war under specified circum-
stances, he said. always have been re-
garded as morally binding on nations.
Wars, Senator Walsh said. are made
by statesmen and not by peoples and
educated to the popular detestation of
war. The Catholic Church, he said,
now has come into'a position when It
can be o far more powerful factor for
world peace than ever before.
Church Now Freer.
In the past, he said, "the church
which existed only on the sufferarce of
rulers armed to the teeth often has had
to confine itself to the individual vir-
tues. But the church now Is freer than
ever before In its history, 1t Is doubt
full Ii Christianity can survive many
more catastrophes such as the last war"
The association yesterday made pub
lie the preliminary report Of its COM
mittee on the relations between Latin
America and the United States and in
which 1t points out that some of the
most troublesome differences can be un-
derstood only in the light of different
social philos ophies and historical de-
yelopment.
The object Of the North American
colonists, 1t is pointed out, from the
first was to establish white civilization,
enslaving the natives, driving them back
or putting them on reservations. The
fundamental idea Of the Latin Ameri-
can colonists, however, was not to estab-
lish . white but mixed civilization.
educating and absorbing the Indians
and, later, the negro slaves. This was
evolved only with many Interruptions.
Process Stin Going On.
This melting pot process is still going
on In Northern South America, the
report pointed out, and Is responsible
for much of the misunderstanding. It
also stresses that Latin America entered
enthusiastically into the liberal and
mechaniStic movement of the nine
teenth, century lacking the resources Of
North America and Europe, with the
result that no great business structure
was erected.
Reports Of committees were received
on the relations between the United
States and Asia and the effect Of world
wide agricultural conditions. particular
ly as reflected In the drifts from the
country to the cities, on international
relations.

This will be possible by having ali

quency of revolutionary air raids on the
loyal stronghold at Naco, Sonora, added
to the tension on both sides of the Dor
der here today. A decisive battle for
the undisputed possession Of Naco was

Early in the day rebel planes dropped
eight bombs on the federal garrison. No
appreciate damage was done. One
failed to explode.
three federal aviators retaliated with
raids on the rebel camp, about three
miles from town, scattering the insur-
rectos but apparently doing no great
damage. Shortly thereafter Gonzalez
sent so federal cavalrymen out to at
tract the attention of the rebel forces.
The federals succeeded in drawing

runners cut loose when the rebels came

to fall and the rebels retreated hur-

also fired at the rebels. but their shots
fell short.
