General Francisco Villa moved "into

The final and deciding assault was
delivered yesterday. It was preceded
by a bombardment, after which the
infantry and cavalry dashed into the
streets. . ' ,
Rifles, machetes, pistols nnd hand
grenades were used in a hundred dif
ferent encounters.' 1
General Villa does not know his
own loss, except that it was heavy.
The wounded suffered terribly , from
thirst, and many died tor lack oC-wa-ter
and surgical attemion. The dead
of both" sides were piled in the Streets
or huddled under adobe houses or cor

of representative Thomson of Illi
nois, Progressive. 111 sunnort of th
n. lie was one of thj
who have onenlv suu-
ported the President's policy.
"Although the Progressive party
platform contains a plank for free
tolls, 1 have not been able to escap.;
the conviction that the exemption is
in violation of tlie plain terms of the
treaty." Thomson stated. "I be
lieve our national honor is involved."
The representative, however, dis
puted President Wilson's statement
that the I'liiteil States is the only
government interpreting the treaty iii
favor of authority to exempt Ameri
can vessels.
"The canal is not our territory ex
cept in trust," Thomson asserted.
"The ships of a small group of own
ers make up the most perfectly pro
tected monopoly in the whole coun
try. "The other party to this inter
national canal contract suggested we
were wrong in exempting our coast
wise shipping. Let us not be 60 bull
headed as even to refuse to admit
such a possibility."
There niav lie two ( lass B. ebom
pionship series next fall. The East
ern association and N'ew Knglanil
league have arranged a post-season
series and the New York State league
will probably meet the Canadian
league in similar series.
Manager "Lcl'ty" Davis of the

Northern league pennant last season
