GERMANS BEGIN ATTACKS
AGAINST BRITISH LINES

London.-Switching their attack
from the Verdun region against the

again a sharp offensive against the
British line around Hulluch.

WOULD GUARANTEE
BORDER PROTECTION
MAJOR GENERAL FUNSTON Is
PLANNING REORGANIZATION
OF BORDER PATROL.
5000 MEN ALONG BORDER
Funston's Almost Compact Column
on Border Would Guarantee
Against Further Raids.

San Antonio, Texas.-Major General
Funston began the consideration Of a
plan for the reorganization of the bor-
der patrol. Having under his direct
control almost $4,000 men he outlined
to his staff a redistribution OF forces
that he believed would guarantee the
protection of American residents from
Mexican raiders.
Already forces at border stations
have been strengthened and 1t was
indicated that before the end of the
week the greater part of the regular
troops and militia that have been sent
into the three border states would be
prepared and in position for quick
service along the international line.
1t is improbable that more troops
will be sent to Colonel Sibley in
charge OF the little expedition that
crossed into Mexico near Boquillas as
result OF the raid at Glenn Springs
and Boquillas a week ago. Four de-
tachments are now operating close to
the lines, scouting through a limited
territory south of the border, but there
never has been any intention of send
ing forward at that point a punitive
expedition that would compare in size
to that of General Pershing in the
State OF Chihouhua.
Army officers here are deeply inter
ested in the efforts of the Mexican
troops were reported to be making to
run down the bandits who raided the
Big Bend district and who yet hold
as prisoner Jesse Deemer. an
American storekeeper. 1t is regarded
here as not impossible that the Mexi-
can troops may cut off the retreat to-
wards the interior of the bandits and
force them back within reach OF Col
onel Sibley's cavalry.

MEXICAN BANDITS AGAIN
RAID AMERICAN SOIL.
Cross Border and Attack Civilian
Soldiers; Obreeon Warned.

Marathon, Texas.-Mexican bandits
again crossed into American territory
and attacked civilians and soldiers.
The raid was made four miles north
Of Boquillas at an ore terminal station
and directly behind Major Lang
horne's column which. up to that time
had not crossed to Mexico After a
short skirmish the bandits fed
Theonly break that can possibly
come would follow an attack by Car
rama troops upon American troops,
1t was said.
1t is understood that General OBJ
regon has been warned that such an
attack will be the beginning of re-
prisals.
Significantly enough conditions
along the border were emphasized
by the receipt OF dispatches from
Marathon, Tex, stating that Mexican
bandits again had crossed into Ameri-
can territory and fired on American
soldiers and civilians.
According to another report mil.
itary automobile conveying messages
from Maj George r. Langhorne to
Colonel Sibley, commander of the ex.
peditonary force in the Big Bend dis
trict. has been made the target for
shots fired by Mexicans.

ADMITS SINKING SUSSEX
APOLOGIES FOR AcT.-WILL PAY
INDEMNITY TO INJURED
AMERICANS.
Sub. Commander Thought He Was
Dealing With Enemy Ship.-case
Is Considered Closed.

hington.-Germany, in a note
received by the state department by
cable from Ambassador Gerard, ad-
mits that German submarine torpe-
doed the channel steamer Sussex in
violation OF assurances given the
United States, expressed regret for
the incident, announces that the sub
marine commander has been "appro-
priately punished" and declares readi-
ness to pay an adequate indemnity to
Americans injured on the vessel.
partment tina: the German statement
that the offending commander had
been punished would be accepted
and the Sussex case considered closed
except for arranging for the payment
or indemnities to the several citizens
OF the United States who were hurt.
There probably will be no attempt to
negotiate for these indemnities or for
final settlement OF the Lusitania and
other cases pending. however. until
sufficient times has elapsed to indi-
cate how the last American note was
received in Berlin and whether the
new submarine policy Is being lived
up to.
Results of an investigation, based
on facts supplied by the American
government, the German communica-
ton says, has shown that the conten-
ton originally set up that the explo-
sion on the Sussex was to be traced
to cause other than German sub
marine attack, cannot be maintained.
While asserting that the submarine
commander thought he was dealing
with an enemy warship. Foreign Min
ister Won Jagow admits that he form
ed his judgment too hurriedly and
therefore did not act fully in accord
ance wit hthe strict instruction which
called upon him to exercise particular
care

The eleven who went out this morn- ing were Ralph Belk, John Stone. Fer nando Martinez, Uvalie Mundez, Sev- ero Mendoza, Jose Rodriguez. Benito Ayala, Refugio Leon, Eusivio Ybarra and Jos Dominguez.. To the credit of the prisoners who are already at york on the rc ad, it is reported that they are going at their task in earnest, as if working for days pay. and not work ing out their time. Those who es- capped were of the worst element and their riddance has been better for the camp.
