Rebels, led by a woman waving a red flag, who shouted encouragement to her men as they charged on Nuevo La redo, were defeated today by a larg er force of federal defenders.

It is reported that more troops are hurrying to the aid of both forces and possibly will arrive late tonight. In this event a renewal of the battle will be expected at daybreak. Machine guns and ammunition are being hur ried to the federals, it is reported. The woman who was killed was identified as a relative of Carza Ri vas, a rebel leader. Twenty rebels and 15 federals are known to have been killed. About 40 wounded have been cared for at an improvised hospital by American physicians and with women from La redo, who crossed the border immed iately alter firing ceased and volun teered their services, acting as nurs es. The rebels, numbering about 200, followers of Carranza, entered the city last night and opened the battle at daybreak with a fussilade fired from a factory building. The federal garrison of 350 men was in action within a few minutes and the battle continued for an hour and a half, the rebels finally being driven to the hills. A number of rebel wounded were shot to death by the federals, it is said, and an accurate estimate of the casualties will not be possible until a more complete exploitation of the streets and alleys through which the battle raged is made. . Apparently it was a fight without quarter. One rebel soldier was seen to fall, as if dead, but when the charg ing federals reached him, he raised his head. A federal leveled a rifle, blowing off part of the wounded man's head, whereupon several of the fed erals kicked the body out of the way until it rolled down an embankment. It was reported that the federals re ceived orders to exterminate the Carranzistas. If it nappened it la in tne Enter prise. Wanted! Girls and Women To operate sewing machines in garment factory.

RATHVON, OF DEN VER, ADDRESSES BIG AUDIENCE LAWS AND STATEMENTS ARE PROVED "Science and Health With Key to Scriptures" Only Text Book Besides Holy Bible "In the opening statement of our textbook, Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures, the words are written: To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings, j, "After forty years experience of study and demonstration, there' are thousands and thousands of men and women in all walks oflife, testifying to the truth of that statement. "Vhen Jesus of Nazareth stood be fore Pilate, he was asked a question, a question which has been asked un- -"umbered times, 'What is truth'? ior tirrtari-g he had been teach ing, and proviifs the truth' about man, and always, Wiftir--a:riEd for proof of his teachings he referred tn his works, and he made these state ments, which have equal bearing. on all men. 'By their fruits ye shall know them.' 'He that believeth in me, the works that I do he shall do also.' "In my own experience, I can testi fy to the healing power of the truth as taught by Christian Science; a member of my family who had been a great sufferer for many years was restored to health by its teachings. "We have with us this evening an authorized lecturer and member of the board of lectureship of the First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston, Mass., who does not come, seeking converts to the Christian Science faith, but rather does he come to give us authentic information in re gard to its teaching. "I have the pleasure to introduce to you Ladies and Gentlemen, Wil liam R. Rathvon, who will now ad dress you. "W. T. HISLOP, "Meldrum Place." Mr. Rathvon spoke as follows in Ore gon City Monday night at the Shive fey .Opera House, the big auditorium being crowded: "The intelligent study of any sci ence should proceed by the orderly use of its text-books. Its laws and its statements thus learned are to be proved in the class room, in the lab oratory, or in the field, as the case may be. "Christian Science, universal in its usefulness and in its availability is likewise to be learned from its text book and then proved and demonstra ted in all the various avenues and ac tivities of everyday life, wherever man mingles with man or his interests teach those of his fellows. Besides the Bible. "Christian Science has but one text book, 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Ed dy. It is not a book u be quickly read or hastily thumber over as one would a shallow novel. Nor is it to be approached' with bias or prejudice if one would ,shareN-its riches; but its truths may be proved and in turn im parted by child or sage who turns its leaves with an open mind. Only the open flower it is that catches the dew and yields its honey to the bee. "Saint and sinner meet on common ground, in the pages of this remark able book and though it starts all alike at the bottom of the ladder it always lifts up never drags down. Time and again its covers have been rudely torn open my unfriendly hands in search of phrases to wrench from their context and with which to smite men of straw, yet neither force nor deceit, the blundering of the bear or the sunning of the fox can avail to divert or suppress its tidings of com fort and joy. "It has been asserted that Christian Scientiests place their text-book above the Bible as the guide to righteous ness. No one can honestly make this allegation who has read the book care fully, for on page 497 of Science and Health are printed these words, the first of a series of tenets of our re ligion: "As adherents of Truth we take the inspired Word of the Bible as pur sufficient guide to eternal Life." What more emphatic and explicit negation of such a charge could be demanded? "The truths of Christian Science do not originate in the book Science and Health. They find expression there but their origin is in God. They have always existed and will forever exist. What effect, then, it may be asked, does the study of this book have upon those who have previously been Bible students? Does it sup plant the Bible in their reverence and admiration? Is the Book of books less precious to them than before? The answer is, 'No.' On the other hand Science and Health harmonizes many seeming incongruities in the Bible which have long perplexed layman and theologian; it explains apparent con tradictions; it discloses unexpected riches ; ; it gives new significance to favorite passages, and brings neg lected ones into favor. " ' The study and application of it teachings by those who have had lit tle or no familiarity with the Scrip tures has made them Bible students and Bible lovers. The one time athe ist, the scoffer and the blasphemer are finding the Gospel a treasure house of joy and consolation whose untried doors had been barred against them until unlocked by the Key forged by the hands of a gentle woman who loved all mankind. No other book in modern times has made so many Bi ble readers. "The 'text-book of Christian Sci (Continued on Page 3.) JOSEPH PETTY DIES IN N. Y.

The funeral will Jbe held in New York. CIVIL WAR VETERAN DIES AT SON'S HOME The death of Atwell Martin ocur red in this city Sunday morning at the home of his son, H. E. Martin. Mtr.

How Advertising Reduces Your Cost Of Living By John P. Fallon Advertising is the means by which merchants of manufact " urers may tell a great number of people about the superior quality of their goods, the de sirability of their merchandise and the reason it will be to your advantage to patronize them. v Advertising enables mer chants to bring hundreds and : thousands of customers to their stores. It enables them to do a large volume of business at minimum expense. 4 Advertising establishes" the confidence of the conmunity, makes new friends, keeps old customers interested and brings the news of the store right in to the customer's home. The merchant who advertis es continuously appeals to all tne- people in town, while the merchant who does not adver tise sits within his door and waits for the people to find him out or accidentally drop in as they are passing by. 'Advertising is such a power ful selling force and business builder that merchants who use it are enabled to sell better goods at the lowest prices. .

WOMEN TO WAIT UNTIL QUESTIONS ARE SETTLED REFUSES TO COMMIT HIMSELF NOW Advocates Tell Chief Executive That He Has Advanced Best Argu ments for Cause They Advocate WASHINGTON, March 17. Suf rage for the women of the United States- by a constitutional amend ment, was formally presented to Pres ident Wilson today by a committee1 of national leaders in the movement. Wilson was urged to recommend to the special session of Congress ac tion on such an amendment, but he told his visitors he had not made up his mind on the woman suffrage ques tion. "The President was courteous and sympathetic throughout," said Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, of New York, and prominent in the National Wo mans' Suffrage Association. He said there were many pressing ques tions to come up at the extra session and that if he did not recommend ac tion on woman suffrage, he-did not want it to be taken as an indication of his geiferal attitude, as he was not committing himself yet.'' Other members of the party 'said the President viewed woman suf frage as a question or great import ance. There . were indications, they sail that the President was open minded on the subject. Harvey A. Wiley, of the House keepers' Alliance, set forth the. value of suffrage from the viewpoint of the mother influencing society. Mrs. Claude V.

Several of the pedestrians stopped, and, in a few minutes one of the rear windows was slaw-ly raised and a shadowy fig ure peered into the fast growing . darkness and scanned the court house yard in all directions. About this time one man became excited at the thought that he might become a hero and was about to make a rush for the chief of police and an nounce that housebreakers were in the Temple of Justice. As he was catching his breath he heard a girl ish voice from the court house say: "Come on girls, the cpast is clear." Recovering his composure, he saw several young -women slowly crawl out of a window and jump to the ground. Upon investigation he found that about six of the young women em ployed in the sheriff's office had been working upon the tax roll Sunday and had become so interested in their work that when 5:30 o'clock came, the- janitor went out the building and, not noticing that the girls were still at Work, locked the door. At half past six they found this out and as a result were forced to climb out of the window and jump six feet to the ground. . daily paper. The Enterprise should Magician Act CM- m lML Great -.1.
