Are you going to church next Sun
day?
This Is a much mooted question In
Kl Paso this week. Tou hear it every
where you go. Tou read about
everywhere you go.
It la the one question that ranks
above W bat's the situation in Mexico
now?" You even hear it even oftener
now than you hear "What's doing at
OJInaga?" and that's saying a whole
lot for U.
But when you atop and think
over It's not a bad question to an
swer in the affirmative la it? It's a
fairly good plan to lay aside your Sun
day pleasures and rent and take a lit

tiful big edifice on the corner known
as the church the name of
any church may be used to fill in the
blank.
Soma people go to church because
I hey like to hear the pastor s sermon
others go because they like to hear
i he pretty music others go because
their Wives or husbands or mothers
uiaka them go. But some of us just
go from sheer force of habit. To
what category do you .belong? Or
do you belong at all?
Do you remember as a little child
flinging to your mother's hand or
clutching eagerly at her skirts how
you used to sigh a deep breath as you
stepped softly Into a church door
i'.. n't you remember how you stood
shyly while the minister patted you

ed you a manly little fellow because
you attended church so regularly.
If you want to way down in your
hearts you can recall those happy
days. You can be a child again next
Sunday. Can stand back and twist
your thumbs waiting for the kind
hearted minister to welcome you. He
will not embarrass you. Ha will tall
you that he Is glad you are there and
you will be welcome. It will not be a
habitual politeness with him. He
means it. He wants yeu In his church;
he needs you.
You can go back to those days of
dear old mother. Sit there In the big
deep seated pew closs your eyes for a
moment as the minister delivers his
benediction and see If yon can't pic-

Some Features of the Show.
One of the features of the second
annual automobile shew will be the
music and special entertainment fea-
tures. A large rostrum will be erected
well toward the front of the first flour

notes of Welcome during the afternoon
and from which an orchestra and
soloists will delight the Immense
throngs that gather In the evenings.
Wh. t the Show Means.
J. 8. Morrison agent for the Hup-
mobiro factory here said yesterday:
"The advantages of an automobile
show can never be reckoned In figures.
It Is the one thing that builds up an
automobile trade. Inspires people Into
buying cars and the only way In which
a prospective patron can readily see
all the oars at once. One la never dis
appointed In after days If they pick
out a car at an auto show. I am onr-
tainly for The Times show and you
may put me down for a large spaoe.'
J. W. Stockard agent for the Bulck
and Hudson oars saya:
Of course you know I am strong
for the automobile show. Last year
I won the prise for the best decorated
booth and my Buick won the popular
Ity prise. I am going after both prlxes
again this year and from what I can
hear on the streets I will win thel
popularity prise anyway. I can trace
several sales to last year's show and I
am going to make a more pretentious
showing this year.
Great for the Trade.
The greatest thing for the auto
trade is an automobile show said J

Presidio Tex. Jan. 5 '(Via United States Army Telephone to
Marfa) 9 p. m. The rebel army withdrew without warning this
afternoon and tonight is camped at a point about 1 2 miles west of
Ojinaga; presumably awaiting the coming up of General Villa'g
promised reinforcements. The movement wag unexpected and inex-
plicable except upon the hypothesis that the rebelg have uf feied go
sgujillet during the past eight days of continuous fighting including
three vicious and. bloody night assaults that the men required rest.
The federals... who after an aB-1 " 1
night fight in the-open-with the com-
bfned forces of (iVneral Ortega and
Itodrlguea withdrew to ujinaga at tne
approach of dawn made no effort to
pursue tne apparently retreating r-
als. They like Ortega's men are
sadly In need of rest and of replen
lahment of their commissaries.
Federal Didn't Pursue.
Nunc of the federal generala would
give any Intimation us to their plana
for the lmmodlute ruturc.
It was believed that they would
sally out after nightfall to attack the
rebels who had gone Into camp on a
range of low lying hills for the pur-
pose of harrying them If not to drive
them farther away but up to this
hour they have made no move In that
direction and It la not believed they
intend making any.
Federal Kxpecl Ketiiforcnmonts.
At federal heudiiuartcra this after

way from Torreon with a force said

Not a shot Fired Yealsrday.
Hince the drawn battle of last night
which ended at sunrise Monday morn
ing with the withdrawal of Haluzur'a
federal force to the protection of the
adoba walls of ojinaga not a shot has
been fired by either side.
It Is believed on this eldo of the
river that the rebels got away with
all their artillery though the federals
old me this afternoon that they had
captured oue field place and two me-
hlne guns. This I denied absolutely
by rebel wounded who have streamed
Into Presidio all day for treatment at
he Ked Cross hospital.

over which tlm rebel and federal

the cactus strewn soil of which 133
had fought with the rebel forces.
The dead rebel were piled Into
heaps saturated with coal oil and
burned on the field. The bodlee of all
dead federals were brought to OJInaga
and buiiud with military honors in
the Catholic cemetery In the southern
portion vf the city.

rebels to the poaltlon they now occupy
and where they hope to recuperate-
while awaiting reinforcements.
Bo far aa the rebels are concerned
It was the most disastrous battle of
tho campaign. Their loss In killed
and wounded watt frightful and they
seemed when I rode Into their camp
early this morning to be wholly dis-
heartened. They picked up such of
tbelr wounded as could be reached
without exposure to rire from the fed-
eral trenches but the dead were per
mitted to lie up thn desert sands un

only from their wounds but famish-

Along with thn burial party sent
out by the federals were the wives
mothers and sweethearts of the fed

husbanda sons and lovers crying out
with Joy when they found them alive
but giving them loving cure In stoical
silence when they found them lifeless.
