NACO, Ariz., March 15.—Instead of waiting to be attacked by nearly 1,000 insurgent state troops, General Ojeda with less than 500 federal soldiers went out from Naco today and defeated the enemy. In three hours of aggressive fighting, peppering the enemy’s line with rifle a nd madhine gun bul lets and spraying lead from shrapnel shells over hills adopted as fortifica tions, the Huerta federals drove the state forces five miles to the southeast. Late today the government forces re turned victorious to the Mexican border town opposite this point. Even the victors did not believe the fighting ended however nor that Naco is secure from. assault. The state forces are assembling tonight in still greater numbers to wrest the only re maining port on the Sonora border from the hands of the Huerta national government. With the advantage of unexpected ag gression and possessing five artillery pieces, the little brown, barefooted sol diers defending the military honor of the new Huerta regime, rought as wild men agains.t seemingly overwhelming odds. Protected by the artillery fire, the federals scrambled over the hil locks-and fearlessly began firing their rifles at the enemy appearing in the distance. It was the group under Elias Calle3 which first received the assault. Ex pecting to attack rather than be at tacked, the state troops soon fell back. The other half of the constitutionalist forces under Prefecto Bracamonte rush ed to the rescue from theh east and with a roar of artillery and the con tinued rattle of rifles the battle was on. For an hour desperate fighting continued. Little by little the state troops fell back fro mthe terrific fire of the aggressors. For a mile the Huerta soldiers pursued closely the retreating enemy, advancing the artil lery from the rear of the skirmish lines. Bodies of killed and wounded state troops lie tonight deserted on the field. NO FIRING ACROSS LINE.I On behalf of the state of Arizona Sheriff H. C. Wheeler of Tombstone, early in the day insisted there should be no repetition of the snooting across the border as at the Nogales battle. This moved the federal commander to abandon his fortifications and set out after the enemy. Five troops of the fifth and ninth United States cavalry were on duty along the border keeping back non-combatants. AMERICAN MISSING. The only person wounded during the fight on the American side was A. A. Hopkins a deputy United States mar shall. He was injured in the knee while doing neutrality duty on the lines.

Infantile Paralysis Germ Is Discovered By Dr. Simon Flexner (By Associated Press.) BALTIMORE, March 15.—Announce ment by Dr. Simon Flexner, director of Rockefeller Institute of Research, New York City, that he has found the germ which causes infantile paralysis, has aroused the keenest interest among sci entists and local physicians, eminent in their profession, who regard it as one of the most important discoveries of recent years. Dr. Flexner, who stated that the or ganism was one of fche smallest ever identified, said that in the cultivation of it, the use of a medium freed from oxygen had been found necessary and that because it could grow only in the absence of oxygen it would never be found in. blood or in any cavity con taining oxygen. Dr. Flexner, referring to a treatise by Dr. Rosenau, of Washington, setting forth the discovery that infection with infantile paralysis w§.s caused by the stable fly, said that in his own re search he had not been able to estab lish the fact that infection was caused by the fly, though he had no doubt that Dr. Rosenau had done so. In the course of his experiments, he said, he had employed for observation other Insects which were allowed to bite monkeys infected with the disease, and had found that the insects thus became jnfected with the germ and retained it for* a period of eight days, but he had not succeaed in infecting monkeys with the disease by having them bitten by in sects so infected.
