6,000 GAPTURED
A 5 REBELS WIN
GUADALAJARA
Federal Killed and Wounded
2,000, and 5,000 More Flee.
Huerta Cut OF,
’ By JOHN W. ROBERTS,
GUADALAJTARA, MEXTICO, July 10.
General Alwaro Obregon, who cap
tured this city after a fight of 48
hours, set up a Constitutionalist gov
srmment to-day, ordered the burning
of the bodies of Federals slain in the
confiict and dtrected the execution of
the Government soldiers who refused
te enist wunder the revelutionary
banner.
General Obregon estimated the
number of Federal killed and wound
of at 2000, He has more than 5,000
prisoners anfd expects to capture the
maijority of the §,OOO others who took
te flight without arms and ammuni
tfen when it became oertain that the
city was doomed.
“Our victory has out General Huer
ta oft from escape to Manzanillo,”
esaid Obregon to-4ay, a 8 he sat at a
table in the palace. “1¢ he fless from
the Capital he will have to go to the
eastward now, We empest no great
difficulty in the progress of our cam-
paign.
“1 expect momentarily to hear that
Guaymas and Mazatlan have been
taken by eur troons. The death knell
of the assassin {n the Capital has
been sounded.”
General Obregon said that his losses
in the battle might reach 500 killed
and wounded, but he had receivad ne
definite figures. He gave great credit
for the victery of his men to the per
sonal bravery of General Blanco, who
fed the final assault wpon the hills
where the Federals had taken their
stand. General Blanco had many
narrow escapes from death, but es
caped unscathed.
«“We had expected a much harder
battle,” sald the Constitutionalist
commander, “but many of the Fed
eral officers were cowards and left
their men to fight without any guld
ance. The Government army Was
much better equipped for fighting,
particularly with artillery, but the
rank and file were fighting only be
cause they were paid for it, while our
forces were fighting for a cause.
; “I belleve that the majority of our
5,000 prisoners will enlist to fight for
the cause of General Carranzé. We
ghall seon be in the Capital.”
Befors the main assault on the city
hegan General Obregon cut the rall.
road leading toward the Capital. This
forced the defeated Federals to flee
an foot and the tastest of the rebel
cavalry are now in pursuit of them,
killing all the tugitives they overtake,
i¢ any resistance is offered. -
Huerta Preparing for
Last Stand in Capital.
;;clll Cable to The Atlanta Georglan.
MEXICO CITY, July 10.—Federal
tpoops are pouring into the capital
to-day. President Huerta is preparing
for a final stand, and it s expected
that within a week fully 40,000 well
‘equipped soldiers will be quartered
here. Many of the large siege guns
that were at San Luis Potos! when
the revelutionists began their South
arn campd{n have been brought here
and placed in advantageous positions.
- General Rubio Naravette arrived
from Jalapa with two trainloads of
gopu url{ to-day. It is expected
t he will act as second in com
mand to Minister of War Blanquet in
the defense of the capital. General
Garcia Pena, who has recently com
‘manded the Vera Cruz division, has
been retired at his own request, and
his retirement from the army makes
it possible to appoint him Fereign
Minister, a post from which he might
be slevated to the provisional Presi
dency.
__ Sir Christopher Cradock, comman
der of the British ships on the east
coast, arrived from Vera Cruz to
day for a conference with Sir Lionel
Carden, It is said that he will make
arrangements for sending a large
force of British marines here when
the rebels near the capital.
Lead Dash on Capital.
By W. J. MADDOX,
. WASHINGTON, July 10.—That
‘General Obregon will lead the rebel
,march on Mexico City, following l}ll
victory at Guadalajara, and that Vii.
la has abandoned his campaign
‘against Mexico City, was the opinion
axpressed to-day by a man in close
touch with the Constitutionalists.
It was asserted the capture of Gua.
dalajara marks the beginning of a
new order in the rebels’ camp, It is
net belleved here, however, - that
Obregon will move until San Luls
Potosi has been taken. Word re
ceived here to-day predicts this will
be accomplished within the next 48
hours. General Jesus Carranza, with
‘lB,OOO men, is reported under orders
to take the town.
Meanwhile Villa will remain {n the
morth, presumably in Chihuahua. Just
what this move portends is not
known to officials here. Constitu
tionalists insist he has not eevered his
connections with the “first chief” and
is moving under Carranza's orders.

OOME TO THE BAPTIST TABERNACLE SUNDAY AFTER.
NOON, JULY 12, ATSP. M. A
ROBERT C. ALSTON, OF THE ATLANTA BAR, WILL SPEAK
ON “CAPITAL.”
8. B. MARKS, PRESIDENT OF THE STATE FEDERATION
OF TRADES, WILL SPEAK ON ‘“LABOR.” :
JOHN J. EAGAN ON ‘“CAPITAL, LABOR AND CHRIST.”
Consider the significance of this meeting in a church of the living
God. :
Centuries ago,through the lips of His prophets, God sald: i
“What mean you that ye beat my people to pieces and grind the
faces of the poor?
““Woe be to the shepherds that do feed themselves! Should not the
shepherds feed the flock?
““You eat the fat, and you clothe yourselves—but you feed not the
flocks—therefore will I save my flocks and they shall no longer be a
prey.
“And you, my flocks, are men, and I am your God."” -
Then came Jesus, Matthew sald of Him: -
“When He saw the mulfitudes, He was moved with compassion
for them, because they were dispersed and scattered as sheep not hav
ing a shepherd.”
HE DROVE THE MONEY.-CHANGERS FROM THE HOUSE
OF GOD. _
Judas, protesting interest in the poor, betrayed Him. Leading citi
zens clamored for His death. Pilot crucified Him. ,
But James, who saw the risen Lord, later wrote:
“If a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food, and one
of you say unto him, ‘Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled,’ not
withstanding you give them not those things which are needful — what
doth it profit?— C :
““Your riches are corrupted— =~ ~ 77T
“Your gold and silver are cankered; and the rust of them shall be
a witness against you—
“BEHOLD THE HIRE OF THE LOBORERS WHICH IS KEPT
BACK BY FRAUD CRIETH.” :
They killed James, but they could not kill the Truth.
To-day, the.world has changed.
Christ has conquered.
Men are ashamed to be numbered with the oppressors of men, women
and children. Everywhere are seex signs of the rising tide of brother
hood springing from the very cross of Christ.
Honorable Frank Walsh, of the United States Commission on Indus
trial Relations, has recently said:
‘“The circle enclosing those of this earth’s inhabitants who enjoy
the best things of life has been widening all through the centuries, and
our industrial unrest to-day means that another great multitude of men
are clamoring for places inside that circle.” ‘
Tolstoi wrote:
“THE KEY T THE LOCK OF THE CHAIN FORGED AROUND
THE WORKING PEOPLE HAS BEEN PLACED BY THEIR SIDE,
AND THEY NEED ONLY TAKE THIS KEY AND UNLOCK THE
CHAIN TO BECOME FREE—
“THIS KEY IS FAITH IN GOD AND HIS LAW.” ;
Paul said of Christ:
‘“He is our peace, who hath broken down the middle wall of par
tition between us.”
Before the love of God and man, barriers and chains are breaking
apart, and men are seeing one another face to face, as brothers and ckil
dren of one Father, even God.
Come to the Baptist Tabernacle Sunday afternoon!
After the addresses, the meeting will be thrown open and questions
will be welcomed and answered.
You are interested. Come.
