Chihuahua City, Nov. 25. (By Way of Courier to Marfa, Tex., Nov. 2. Francisco Villa's automobile, which was being used by him to direct his 'campaign against the Carranza troops. was struck by shell fire today and was abandoned near Fresno, south west of the city. The shell holes and bullet marks were plainly seen on the sides of the big automobile when it .was found on the battlefield after Villa abandoned it and rode away, uninjured, on horse back. The battle today started soon after the telegraphic communication with Juarez was cut. The wire went down at 10 a. m. and the battle started shortly before 11 a. m. and was rag ing by 11:30 a. m. The bandits" at tack covered the entire southern front from east to west, with flanking op erations to the east and west. Fighting in th City. The most desperate fighting oc curred on Zarca avenue, within the city. The bandits threw their best equipped forces against the entrench ments which had been thrown up across this street and street fighting followed. The Villa forces made every possible effort to take these entrench ments, which were the key to the de fenses of the city proper. Ths de facto infantry met these charges with counter charges and the battle raged back and forth in this narrow adobe-lined street until the Villa bandits were driven out of the mouth of the avenue onto the plains, where they were raked with machine gun fire from the house tops, and the artillery fire, which had supported ef- nan u unit HI I 1 rati fectively the infantry efforts. Ready for Attack. General Trevino is prepared for an other general assault, although the indications today were the enemy would not attack again. However, General Trevino is not 1 elinquishing his vigilance and he is prepared for a surprise attack from any one of the four quarters. At the time this mes sage was dispatched by courier there were no banuits to oe seen west of the city. General Carlos Ozuna's cavalry charges in this direction com pletely freed this sector of the Villa foriws, which have been driven olf to the southwest a distance estimated at five miles. The Villa troops attacked repeatedly and with great daring, but were driven off by the de facto forces and the force of their blows were spent against the first line entrench ments. The? losses on both sides are report ed to be heavy, as the fighting during the past twenty-four hours has been much closer in range and some of it has been almost hand-to-hand en counters, as in the Zarco avenue as sault. In "Xo. Man's Land." The wounded who fell outside of the city could not be rescued from the "no man's land' beyond the first line trenches because of the firing by both the bandits and the government forces. It is expected to send rescue parties out under cover of night to night to bring in the wounded and bury the dead. The wounded wrho fell within the city are being cared for at the municipal hospital, which is in command of Colonel Martinez, the staff surgeon of General Trevino. Women are serving as volunteer nurses in this and other, hospitals of the city The troops on both the bandit and government sides appear very tired after three days of almost constant fighting. The government forces, however, are in good spirits and eager for more fighting. They celebrated the victories which thev claim over the Villa bandits during the past fighting as they huddled around their camp fires in the first line trenches. A force of cavalry has been sent out from Guerrero, west of here, to pur sue Rodrigo Quevedo and Murguia brothers, who have been operating in the country west of Chihuahua City. Associated Press "Scoop." Juarez, Nov. 26. The Associated Press furnished the Carranza rommnn- ders in Juarez tonight with the first information they have had for thirty six hours of the battle in Chihuahua City.

Buttery and daughter, Miss Essie, departed for Omaha where Anss Essie will enter the Immanuel hospital in that city to undergo an operation for ap pendicitis.

SEMI-WEEELY JOUKN-l EXPECTS THAT GERMANY WILL HUBBY THEIR REPLY Washington, Nov. 2C. The admin istration believes tnat Germany prob ably will complete next week its re plies to American inquiries about rec ent submarining. Her answers to UUIC) ' " fattacK.s ana ian 10 snow vioiauon 01 4 I her pledges. Meanwhile, authorities continued to insist there is thus far no "crisis." The Berlin embassy notified the de partment Saturday afternoon that the state department may soon expect Germany's answer in the American representations relative to depor tations of Belgian laborers. Ollic-ials say it is unbelievable that the allies will object to safe conduct for the new Austro-Hungarian am bassador and his staff to America. Official reports are lacking, but the state department said diplomatic cus tom and courtesy would undoubtedly be followed in this case. The United States has made no specific request for safe conduct for the new envoy, who replaces the late Dr. Duinba, who has notified the allied governments that he is coming-, which virtually amounts to the same thing-.

J tLlllUJJJBWMnBMpBBaaBgaMBWWMMWMg i . - A VERY iOOEBfl For several years we h ave admired the beautiful farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Tritch, .nbout three miles west of Plattsmouth, it being whr-t we have always considered one of the most beautifully and conveniently lo acted of any in this part of the county, but have never had the pleasure of visiting the home until on imitation of Ed. Tritch we called at his home Saturday a. m. to look at the new light plant recently installed there. We had intended to mention this as a mere item of news but after noting the simplicity of operating this plant together with its efficiency and econ iijy of running, we became as enthu siastic over the results furnished .y this little machine as Mr. and Mrs. Tritch were, and concluded therefore to make tin's an article on Illuminatie-i: as applied to the modernization of homes iri the country. Entering the house we for a moment imagined we were in town, for here we?o :ir:e Wtiic light Jfxturcs in each room, which at the touch of a but ton gave light, running water in the !;;tc!;en rnd bath in fact every con venience of the city home. Upon ask ir.g where all this power and light . smc from we were coi. ducted to the ' n semen t, where we were again en lightened as to the origin of all this Upon being shown this modern "Al hw'in" we could ha.dly believe thnt si'ch a small piece of machinery (less than half thr size of a kite'ien range) could do all that we saw it accomplish. Touching a lever, awoke the self starter which started the thing going. The starter by the way is the same make as we have n our Baiek car. The plant consists of a siwrle unit, air-cooled gas engine, generator and switchboard all in one, with lf glass cell batteries, in which er.eugh juice is stored to last them three or four days. The engine will run about five hours on a gallon of gasoline it runs equally as well with kerosine a little ball in the pilot cell tells when to run the engine ard a clock hand on the meter on the front of the plant keeps time with the generator so that when the batteries are fu!l the engine is automatically stopped. In addition to furnishing light and pumping water we wore told this plant would furnish power to operate milking machine', churn the butter, wash ths clothes, run the sewing n a chine, vacuum cbar.er, in fact any small piece of machinery around the farm. In this way it actually can be made to do a good manv of your holes. After inspecting the modern heat ing plant, Mr. Tritch tcck us into his cave, which i.-- -i brick and' is about fifteen feet under ground. Needless to say it wp.s electric-lighted and when we p-azeci around at the bins of potatoes, apples, cabbage am otho supplies, together with the hun crecis of jars of good things to oat, canned during the summer, we could only remark surely the farmer has tis lo-.vn folks bested in every way. Mr. Tritch showed us through his barn, which is about 100 yards from the house, also lit up by electricity. We then inspected some elegant red hegs, with short noses and straight! tails, housed in a modern sun-lighted hog house. Also looked at some very fine :-eed corn for next year s planting. Driving back to town we mentally compared the farm of the past with the up-to-date present farm we had just left. Where the house-wife may equip herself with all sorts of elec trical equipment which can be attached to any electric-light socket, all sorts of utensils for toasting bread, making co'rec, she can sweep with an electric vacuum c!eanr, iron with ar electric iron, on hot days an electric fan will keep a cool breeze circulating through her house, a motor can be attached to cream separator, churn, washing machine, etc., and relieve her of much dreary, back-breaking work. Coneniences on the farm? No town house can beat that and the farm house wife no longer need envy the luxuries of her town friends. The city woman visiting in the country finds comfort and luxury, all the con veniences to which she is accustomed to at home, in addition to those pro vided by nature. The children in the modern country home do not seek to escape it, they are proud of it, for they know there are none better. We almost forgot tc) mention the name of the plant Mr. Tritch is so proud of, it is called "Deleo-Light'r ard is made by the Domestic En gineering Co., Dayton, O., and sold by Isy Rosenthal, 538 So. 25th Avenue, Omaha, Neb.
