Investigation DisprOves Alarming
Reports Of Probable Raid or At.
tack on Pershing Expedition.

Field Headquarters, American Pun
tive Expedition, Mex, Oct. 13.-In-
vestigation of recent rumors con-
corning the operations of the bandits
under Francisco Villa and Julio
Acosta virtually has confirmed the
belief at field headquarters that the
reports were the result of magma
ton of frightened refugees. Altho
many Mexicans from, the. country
south of Ell Vale have sought safety
in that town, which is within two
miles Of an American camp, it is be-
lieved the fear that prompted their
flight as well as that which led resi-
dents along the railroad to flee, was
unfounded. No Villa followers, it
was learned today, are in MADEIRA.
which was reported to have been cap
tured by Acosta, according to the best
available information.
Villa has not ventured north Of Te-
mosachic, which is more, than 100
miles from the American lines. A
recent report that Villa followers
were at Galeana. within 10 miles Of
the American line Of communication,
also has, been exploded. Apparently
there has been lull in bandit activ-
ity since the fight at Cusihuirachic.

fishes an interview given to it's CORE
spondent with the Rumanian army by

Yet the Rumanians pray that in spite

own huge problems, the allies will not
allow the affairs of Rumania, who
has staked her all in this conflict, to
pass into the back of their minds and
TO suffer to such an extent that she
may meet the fate of either Belgium
or Serbia"
King Ferdinand says that Rumania
had not been moved to enter the war
by mere eXpcdiency. but that her de-
cision was based on the biggest prin+
ciples of nationality.

ASSOCIATED press Summary

ASSOCIATED press Summary
Steadily the pressure of the Austro-
German forces is compelling the Ru-
manian troops who invaded Transyl-
vania to fall back upon their own
frontier on the Eastern Transylvanian
sector.
Berlin reports additional territory
freed from the invaders northeast OF
stadt the Austro-Germans also have
been successful against the invaders.
The Rumanians, however, are offering
stubborn resistance.
Bucharest reports a repulse by
them of attacks on the frontier of
Southern Pennsylvania.
Violent infantry fighting continues
on the Carso front in the Austro-
Italian theatre, with further sue
cesses for the Italians. In the, vicin-
ity of Gorilla, and to the south, they
have repulsed heavy Austrian coun-
ter attacks, with heavy casualties,
and have entered the second Austrian
line. Vienna admits the loss of the
town Of Novadas, but announces that
the Austrians put down Italian at
lacks at other points on the Carso
plateau, and made 200 men prison
ers.
In the Trentino sector, some addi-
tional gains are claimed by the Ital-
ians.
The French and British have been
repulsed in new attempts to break
thru the German line between the
Ancres and Somme rivers in France,
the British in the district around
Geuedecourt and the French near Sail
ly, where neither was able to pierce
the defense of the Germans, altho
London claims slight advance near
Kueudecourt.
South Of the Somme, stubborn fight
ing is still in progress at Ablain-
court.
In Macedonia, the. entente offensive
apparently has come to a halt. The
British advance guard has been active
on the Struma, but on the remainder
of the front there has been little ac-
tivity.
A belated report from Sofia records
the repulse Of six Serb attacks at
Sackavir. Likewise, operations in
Volhynia and Galicia have slackened
in violence, apparently, for neither
Petrograd nor Berlin mentions any
fighting in these zones.
To the north Of the Pinsk marshes,
in Russia, Germans have attacked
Russians trenches on the west bank
Of the Schera river. PetroSrad says
the attacks were repulsed with heavy
casualties.
