Funstoh's Men Kill Forty Mexicans In Fight at Nogales, Ariz.--General Ob­ regon Defeats Northern Leader's Force and Occupies Town. i'\ •>. i Nogales. Aril., NOT. 29.--Three American miners were killed, two American soldiers were probably fatally shot and one ulightly wounded and forty Villistas were billed by American troops when the Villa gar­ rison of 1,200 withdrew from the Mex­ ican town of Nogales on Friday before ' an advancing foice of 6,000 Carran­ zistas. Stephen Little of Fairmont, N. C., one of three United States soldiers wounded in a battle with Villa troop­ ers in Nogales, Sonora, died here. He was shot through the bead. Seven Carranzista soldiers were shot by American troops who mistook them for Villistas as they were ad­ vancing on the town. Three Ameri- ,®Sans""ivere wounded. The Carranzistas under Gen. Alvaro Obregon occupy Nogales, while the Villista garrison is scattered east and west along the border line. Many of the Villa force under Governor Ran­ dall sought refuge on the American side. Governor Randall himself was the first to cross the line. The evacuation of the town began at night It was preceded by whoie- , sale looting. About 300 of the gar- rison got away on the first trains. The last two trains on which sbout #00 soldiers were crowded could not be moved for lack of fuel.. Trouble with American troops start­ ed about 11 a. in. when these soldiers after sacking the town began to tire across the line. Colonel Sage, com­ manding the American troops, ordered the fire returned. Of a band of forty seen firing across the border only one escaped. Early in the afternoon the van guard of the Carranzista force ap­ peared in the hills near the American line west of Nogales. Mistaking them for Villistas again about to fire on them, the American border guard opened with a volley. The Carran­ zistas replied and a sharp exchange of shots ensued. The appearance of a Carranza soldier with a white flag was followed by explanations and mu­ tual apologies. As the Carranzistas drew near the last of the Villa garrison fled south­ ward. Of these thirty-two were killed by pursuing cavalrymen from Obregon's force. It was by others who fled in the same direction that the three Ameri­ can miners, Adolfo Menger, Lloyd Forrest and James S. Walton were re- 'J' ported killed twenty miles south of tlle town- New® of their murder was ^ brought here by a Mexican rancher * * who says he witnessed the shooting. ,* 7, He adds that he could not learn of j," U)r rea8on for the triple killing.

London, Nov. 25.--Announcement from the foreign office on Tuesday that no Greek ships are being held or v seized In ports of the United Kingdom, in conjunction with dispatc: es from Greek and Italian sources, indicates that the diplomatic outlook In Greece is improving from the allies' stand­ point. Italy has decided to send a military expedition to the Balkans to help the allies. "Certainly no attempt will be made to disarm the allies." said D. G. Rballis, the Greek minister of Justice and guiding spirit In the Skouloudia cabinet, In an Interview with the Daily Hail's correspondent at Athens.

' . Berlin, Nov. SO.--Mais bnadquartert In the army on Sunday ia«t»£d the fol lowing official statement cl operations in the Balkans: "The prosecution of the Serbian campaign continues. "Rudnlk, southwest of Mltrovitsa, has been occupied by our allied troops. More than 2,700 Serbians were made prisoners and large quantities of war material was captured. "With tbe flight of the scanty re­ mainder of the Serbian army into tae Albanian mountains, our great opera­ tions against this army are brought to a close. Our object of establishing communication with Bulgaria and the Turkish empire has been accom­ plished." "The allies' situation in tlie Balkans is desperate. The Frencb losses on the Krivojak line are estimated at 20,000 dead, while their retreat has been made extremely difficult." The Austro-Geruan campaign In Serbia, including the uninterrupted prosecution of the enemy for more than 125 miles through a most difficult and inhospitable country and in spite of bad weather and impracticable roads, is paralleled in the world's his­ tory only by the prosecution of the Russians in this campaign. Up to this time 136,070 Serbians have been taken prisoners and 627 cannon and 59 machine guns captured. What is left of the SerL*i«o army will probably keep up a guerilla war­ fare, while the saved divisions will have a chance to join the Anglo- French forces, like the Belgians did. as vanquished and little-esteemed mer­ cenary troops.

Dec. XTtGermaay Is rush* ihg preparations to'meet the real at­ tack that she has been expecting in the Balkans. From all indications the Russian army of 350,000 is about to strike In Bulgaria, and the army of King Fer­ dinand of Koumania will join the czar's troops. It is not believed here that the Germans are unprepared. The greatest obstacle to harmonious action by the entente allies in the near East is now believed removed. Official messages received in London by the Greek consulate seem to bear out the news dispatches from Athens and Saloniki that the Greek govern­ ment's final reply to the demands of the allies will be satisfactory and that Greece will not impede the operations of the allies or the Serbians in the efforts to unite, perhaps on Greek soil, to strike at the Austro-Germans and the Bulgars. Bucharest reports that the Bulga­ rians have ordered all civilians from the town of Rustchuk, where the Rus­ sian blow is expected to fall first. Signs have multiplied in the last few days that Roumania has definitely aligned herself with the entente allies. There were rumors of it when the Bucharest parliament opened on Sun­ day. The fact that the allies have 150,000 men in the Balkans and that the Russians are sending 350,000 more adds to this belief, because it was generally known that Roumania was waiting for the allies to have half a million men in the near East before deciding to throw in her lot with them. Monastir's fall is expected at any moment. Athens reports all civilians have been ordered to evacuate the place.

' CAN PHOTOGRAPH IN COLORS Scientists Have Reached Goal Whfefc Has Been 8ought for a Qresit Number of Years. ^ % y-:;)$.? Color Photography, the goal ft»;: ventors and scientists for years, has at last been realized. So perfect has been made the process that the mak­ ing of color prints is now open even to amateurs. Of coursfe, a special camera and special kinds of plates are necessary. Three plates are Inserted in the camera, and the front plate is dropped to the bottom of the box. The image to be photographed is reflected to this bottom plate by a mirror. The other two plates receive their impressions directly from the lens. Each of the plates is coated with chemicals which enable it to record certain colors, one recording the red, another the yellow and the third the blue tones of the object A separate positive is made from each plate, the positive from the blue plate being made on paper and the red and yeilow positives on thin films. The two film positives are superimposed on the blue positive, with the result that the original three colors blend Into a myriad of hues when a prii&i* made from the combined, positives.
