Mar. 14 (AP) Fearing that the rebels . might - evacuate Torreon ahd;retreat;tOr ward Chihaahna without making a stand. General TlntareoElias Calles today ordered bis forces to adopt every possible means to prevent a Tebel retreat and to fore a battle at Torreon.- . Tha general, la charge of ail the federal forces, notified Prest dent Porte Gil of this move. "1 fear, nowevev that the nnloyai nay take to flight toward the - north." be said, "which I am try lug to arold by all means." "Fanatical Elemeata",; . 'AttmAed By Federals A covernment bulletin, today said that Its forces under Gen erals Alraazan, Cedlllo and Car denas were advancing westward on Torreon while, the Calles troons were moving cn Durango to clean np "a small group of un- lovaL mainly fanatical elements The Durango column then will join the general advance on Tor reon. General Calles advised the pres ident that It was his hope "not to let a single Insurgent escape.1 It was said that the general hopes, after taking' Durango, to proceed with greater speed to Torreon, be cause he understood that the rail road' tracks in that direction are In better shape and that there are many roads to facilitate troop movements. Five Columns Advance On Torreon At Once Meanwhile another contingent of the main Calles army is pro ceeding against Torreon from the southeast, making a total of five columns of federals streaming to ward the rebel concentration point. Tha only rail outlet for the Insurgents, in case they are defeated or evacuate Torreon without a fight, leads toward Chi huahua, several hundred miles to the northwest. Today's bulletin told of .an other encounter at Encantada, a few miles south of Saltillo, In 'which SO rebels were killed and 80 Including several officers, cap-, tured. No federal loss was men tioned. The' three, federal columns mov ing In from the east were said to be converging ' on . the region of Lake Viesca, near Torreon, from where a 'general offensive on the city will be launched. It was reported that federal at tempts to cut off means for a reb el retreat were thwarted because of lack of . fodder and water for the cavalry horses used in the at- tempt. - The federal armies In their northward push have been slowed up by. miles of torn up railroad tracks destroyed by the rebels In their retreat to Torreon. Mexi cans, whether rebels or federals, do a thorough Job of tearing np rails when they resort to that measure. TO . COontlnued From Face 1.)

Trying too hard, however, was another factor that contribut ed to the Redskins' defeat. They outplayed the Portland team easily on the flood, and George.

Braveagle, stony faced Sioux, 'went into the game for Cbemawa , late In the first half and steadied the team down to some semblance of scoring form, making a good share of jthe points himself.

Hughes Visit President Charles Brans Hughes was an overnight guest tonight at the White House. After taking an ac tive part In the presidential cam paign,- Mr. Hughes bas come to be regarded as a dose advisor of the administration and it was as sumed that, due to this and to his own prominence in the legal field, his discussion with Mr. Hoover dealt: largely with the law en forcement question. Moreover, it was understood that the subject of American ad herence to the world court en tered prominently-into their con versations. 1 Mr, Hoover bas ex pressed the ; view that .
