mation to every hamlet of the state j
Is being arranged by the Connecticut i
State Council of Defense through its j
committee on publicity. There will j
toe two campaigns in the series, the
first consisting 'of rallies to be held
in every village of Connecticut large
enough to have available halls. This
will be followed by an intensive cam
paign in the cities and other indus
trial centers.
. It will carry the message of the
war to every little ward hall where
people are in the habit of assembling
and where possible to the gates of
important', factories and inside the
shops if suitable arrangements can
be made. The rallies will begin next
week and rill probably continue un
til Christmas. It is' hoped to com
plete the small town series " before
winter weather closes the roads to
automobile traffic. ,
Associated with, the committee on
publicity in making arrangements for
the rally is a special committee of
the council consisting of Richard M.
Blssell, Its chairman; Major Howard
A., Giddlngs and former Senator Jo
seph W. Alsop. i The campaign wlM
be under the active management of
Harrison B. Freeman of Hartford,
who has volunteered his services for
the work.
. He has already established head
quarters at the state capitol in the
offices "of the committee on publicity.
George B. Chandler, chairman of this
committee, will direct the field work
of the rally' organization. Mr. Free
man will be assisted by Austin Dun
ham, who has for several weeks had
charge of the speakers' bureau of
the committee, ' and by James S.
Stevens, Its state musical director.
A unique feature of the rally series
is a careful outline of plans made
by the publicity committee for the
conduct of every phase of the meet
ings and a "Liberty Chorus" will sing
at each meeting. School will distri
bute advertising posters. ,

With the American Army In
France, Wednesday, Nov. 14 (By the
Associated Press) The " accuracy ' of
the American artillerymen's fire - has
evoked enthusiastic comments from
the French superior officers of the
command in which are the trenches
occupied by the American troops. The

officers today that the markmanship
of the artillerymen , was excellent,
comparing most favorably with that
of troops that had been at war for
years. -
These American officers were high
ly elated by the compliment. The
only complaint heard is that a few
of the American batteries are not as
rapid as they might be, but they are
Improving daily. ..
. The infantry is now Interesting it
self especially in patrols. - All the men
that have not had this experience are
eager to try their hand.

la's forces are today in possession of
the Mexican town of Ojinaga, having
captured it last night after a two hour
battle with the Mexican federal troops,
who finally fled to the American side
the Rio Grande and surrendered to
the United States troops under Capt
Barnes.
Gen. Juan Esplnazo y Cordova, who
was in command of the federal troops,
said the fighting was hand to hand in
the streets of Ojinaga and that many
on both sides were killed.
The Mexicaih troops, who were In
terned in' the Presidio army camp,
numbered 300. The rest of the Ojina
ga garrison, estimated at 200, are sup
posed to have been killed or captured.
Villa troops under command of Martin-
Lopez are said to have numbered
close to 1,000.
Wholesale executions were expected
to take place today, when the Villa
commanders will wreak vengeance on
the enemy prisoners'.
It was just four years ago that Villa
took Ojinaga by assault from the
Huerta federals.
Gen. Cordova went as "he surrender
ed his silver mounted -evford and pis
tol to Capt. ! Barnes, and the" spirits of
the entire Mexican command were
broken.
One of two Americans who operat
ed machine guns for the federals was
killed in the battle. The other Amer
ican disappeared and it is believed
that he escaped across the river.
