FEDERALS ARE
FORGED BACK
General Villa and His Army
Gradually Approach Torreon
ADVANCE GUARD IN SUBURBS
Mexican Rebels Have Not as Yet En
countered Real Stubborn Opposition
Villa Repairs Railroad on His Trip
The rebel army of 12,000 under com
mand of I'anclio Villa is gradually
forcing back the federal defenders of
Torreon, Mex.
This morning Villa's advance guard
of the main army had possession ol
Brittingliam, a manufacturing town six
miles from Gomez I'alacio, one of Tor
reon's suburbs.
Tliu advance guard of the east wing.
according to latest advices, is very
close to the eastern suburb of Torreon.
All of Villa's troops advanced, but
the forv.ard movement was slow, as
the commander-in-chief Is none too
anxious to take his men ahead faster
than he cm repair the railroad to
supply them with water and food.
General Benavides, latest com
mander of the garrison at Juarez, who
commanded the advance guard of the
rebels that entered Bermejillo, whore
Villa made headquarters Saturday
night, took a southeasterly course to
join Maclovio Herrera's command east
of Torreon and almost cut the railroad
between Torreon and Salt lllo and Mon
clova. They hoped by this to prevent a re
treat of the federals to either of these
towns In the event of rebel success at
Torreon, meantime isolating Saltlllo
and Monclova to give the rebel bands
in that section a chance to make an
other cfTort to capture the two places.
The rebels all but took Monclova a
week ago, but were driven out by the
arrivil of federal reinforcements from
Torreon.
After drivluif out the rebels the fed
erals hnstened back to Torreon and
the Monclova and Saltlllo garrisoiiF
of federals are now comparatively
small.
Villa was advised that Tomas Cur
bina, his commander to .whom he had
entrusted the attack on' Torreon from
the direction of Mapiml, Is ill In that
town, either from fever or wounds.
The rebels in Juarez had received no
advices from Villa relative to the light
ing. The only thing that came to the
rebel officials was a message from Chi
huahua confirming advices from Villa
that Rermejillo had been captured.
The message from Chihuahua said 9 or
12 of the federals were killed instead
of 106 as wired by Villa.

TROOPS MUST
SERVEJJR QUIT
English Governmsnt Hopas to
Check Disaffection
STAiEAENT IVADE ON ULSTER
Premier Asquith Says "Misunderstand
ing" Characterized Whole Affair in
Regard to the Motive For Sending
Soldiers Into Northern Ireland Ex
Premier Balfour Denounces "Insane
Policy of the Government."
London, March 24. "Misunderstand
ing" was the keynote of Premier As
quith's explanation of the crisis
brought about by the resignations of
army officers when their regiments
were ordered to prepare to proceed to
Ulster. .
Speaking in the house of commons
the prime minister made It clear,
however, that officers and men of the
British army refusing to obey orders
In connection with the opposition of
Ulster to the introduction of homo
rule for Ireland were liable to dis
missal. Details of the revolt of the army
officers against service in Ulster had
been awaited with strained expecta
tion by the whole country. Only brief
statements were forthcoming from the
secretary of war and the premier and
the gist of these was that the whole
affair was due to "misunderstanding"
and that all the officers had now re
turned to their duty.
As far as the minister's statements
can be interpreted the "misunderstand
ing" arose through General Sir Arthur
Paget placing a wrong construction
on the orders given him by the war
office and telling his subordinates they
were to be employed in quelling an
uprising in Ulster.
The number of officers who re
signed their commissions, the extent
of the disaffection in the army and
other details were not disclosed.
Colonel Seely was derisively Jeered
during his explanation. Andrew Bonar
Law, leader of the opposition, had
stated that "nothing can save the army
now except that a declaration that of
ficers will not be compelled to engage
in civil war against their wish. When
he said that officers refusing to serve
against Ulster were only doing their
duty the Labor members shouted
"How about strikes?"
The whole affair is generally accept
ed as demonstrating that the army
cannot be counted upon to fight Sir
Edward Carson's volunteers if such a
contingency should arise. Opposition
politicians declare that this means the
collapse of the home rule project and
express their belief that the govern
ment may soon relinquish office by its
own choice.
Arthur J. Balfour, former Unionist
premier, ridiculed Premier Asquith's
efforts to minimize the occurrences In
the army and declared that Brigadier
General Hubert Gough had been rein
stated after he had still declared that
he would not fight against U'.ster.
"The Insane policy of the govern
ment," Mr. Balfour asserted, "has
brought about a crisis of Infinite barm
and evil to the community, a crisis
which will live for years and which
the government would have escaped If
It had ascertained what Ulster thought
and what her supporters were ready
to sacrifice."
In view of the partisan claims ie
garding the number of men, the or
ganization 'and equipment of the
Ulster volunteers, statements by
Colonel Dacourt, military correspon
dent of the IiOiidon Times, and H. V.
Nevlnson, a Liberal writer of the
Nation, who have been touring Ulster,
are Important.
Colonel ' Dacourt says the 110,000
men enrolled are In the flower of their
age and of excellent physique. Decen
tralization has been the system of or
ganization. Each county forms a
separate unit.
Eighty thousand rifles, according to
Colonel Dacourt, have been distributed
in parcels each containing five to
selected men so that wholesale seizure
of the weapons would be Impossible.
Nevlnson estimates that between 60,
000 and 80,000 men would respond to
a call for the mobilization of the
volunteers. He thinks the rifles of
the volunteers obsolete.

SIR EDWARD CARSON.
ALLEGE LEHIGH
IS A MONOPOLY
Dissolution ot Railroad Com
pany Is Asked
A suit to break the Lehigh Valley
railroad's alleged anthracite coal mo
nopoly was begun by the government
in the United States district court in
New York.
In a petition filed by Frederic U.
Coudert, special assistant attorney
general, the Lehigh, its directors and
subsidiary compauies are accused of
violating the Interstate commerce act
and the Sherman law. An injunction
to prevent thein "from further re
straining, monopolizing or attempting
to monopolize trade and commerce in
anthracite coal" is sought, and the
government also asks that the rail
road be enjoined from carrying coal fr
which It has an interest.
More than a dozen other corpora
tions and individuals were named as
co-defendants and parties to a con
spiracy to monopolize that trade.
Although suit was brought to break
up an alleged monopoly, the attorney
general charges that the Lehigh road,
through the formation of a coal sales
company two years ago, has escaped
the supreme court decision under the
commodities clause of the Interstate
rate act, which forbids the railroad to
transport coal belonging to a corpora
tion whose stock It owns and whorse
affairs have been "commingled with
Its own."
The further charge was made that
the Lehigh had violated the provision
of the Pennsylvania constitution pro
hibiting common carriers from engag
ing in mining or other business other
than transportation. The usual Injunc
tion and decree of dissolution were
asked.
Furthermore, the bill declnres,
through Its alleged monopoly of the
sale of coal produced along its line,
the road "completely dominates the
market at all points thereon not
reached by any other railroad, and
has the power to fix, has fixed and
does fix. without the check of com
petition, the prices at which anthracite
is sold at such points."
The bill points out that the Lehigh
annually transports about 11.000,000
gross tons of anthracite. Of that total,
the government maintains, more than
82 per cent, (in 1913) was shipped
for the account of the Lehigh Coal
company or affiliated companies.
The relations between the railroad
and the Lehigh Cool company are set
forth at length In the complaint, which
declares that the latter has never been
a "bona fide corporation," but a
"mere adjunct, department or Instru
mentality of the Lehigh railroad."
WASTE CALLED CRIMINAL
Enough Coal and Gas to Supply Pitts
burg District Lost Every Year.
The mills and factories, railroads
and steamboat lines, together with
thousands of homes In the Fittsburg
district could be supplied with all the
coal necessary for their use from the
fuel that Is wasted annually through
out the United States during the pro
cess of mining and handling.
The amount of gas wasted annually
would supply Pittsburg's needs and
the needs of all surrounding territory
If It could be conserved properly. The
unnecessary waste of our mineral re
sources Is estimated at $1,000,000 a
day. The waste in coal is estimated
at 250,000,000 tons annually. The
waste of gns, In dollars, aggregates
$00,000,000 annually.
Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of
the bureau of mines, which has its
most Important branch in Pittsburg,
makes known the anoye remarkable
facts In Mils annual report. The waste
of lotli coal and gas Dr. Holmes
characterizes as criminal. He says it
can be stopped.

MONIS FOLLOWS CAILLAUX
French Minister Leaves Cabinet as
Se.uel to Shooting.

tion to that of Joseph C'ail'.aux, min
ister of finance.

cepted the resignation. For the pres

marine.
Mine. Cailluux is still the object of
deep popular sympathy. Crowds
gathered at Saint Lazare prison,
where she is. Police have taken every
precaution to prevent political demon
strations. The resignation of M. Monis was
caused by statements made In the
chamber of deputies that while he was
premier he had exerted powerful 'n
fluence on the public prosecutor,
Victor Fubre. to postpone the trial rf
Henri Rochette, who was alleged to
have swindled the public out of $20,
