German Statement.

Berlin, March 1.-The official statement says:
 ''Wcstern theater: Six British mine explosions south of LOOs were unsuc- ceSsful.
 Tn various sectors of the Cham pagne and between the Mouse and the Moselle there have been sustained ar tillery duels.
 'In the Mouse region (Verdun) the enemy sent forward repeatedly fresh division, which as on the 27th ad- vanced on a comparatively small width of front and was notived as soon as it appeared against our positions, on Dead Mans Height The first attack was without artillery preparation, in the nature of a surprise. A few com panies succeeded in reaching our lines, where the few unwounded men remaining were taken. The second attack was stopped bu our curtain or fire.
 ,"Eastern and Balkan theaters: The sitution is unchanged"

SILLIMANS ADVICES
 INCREASE OPTIMISM
Official Washington Expects No Trouble With Carran-
 za's Government.

Washington, March 11.-Nery sat isfactory assurances regarding the at titude of the CarranZa government to- ward the entrance of American troops into Mexico were conveyed to the state department today py Consul Sll- liman who is with Gen. Carranza. lie reported no trouble from tie Carranza forces was to be expected.
 The eyes of administration officials centered on the desert plains or northern Mexico where Brig. tTeh' John J. Pershing is leading Amer ican troops in pursuit ct Francesca Villa and his band of outlaws.
 The censorship surrouudlnS the movement of the expedition was so strict that up to an early hour today not a single dispatch from the Amer ican columns had been made pupllc by the war department since the all- no,1ncement of Wednesday night that they had crossed the nternatlonssl border line.
 A long code m message from Gen. Funston came to the depar>nent late last night but Secretary Baker Qe- clared that it contained no news uf | importance and would not make it | public.
 l Unofficial advices from ti4e border I said that Villa and his Ill 7n are far J to the south of the American forces. Army officials believe that Il probably l will take several days for tine Amer l ican pursuers, aided by the Carranza | soldiers, to cross the desert and over take the bandits. They do not ex- pect a clash for several days.
 Official advices from diplomatic representatives in Mexico reports cur- ditions as generally lulet. There were some signs of unrest ill the Tam pico district, however.
 Overnight dispatches received by Acting Secretary Polk of the state de- partment and Secretary baker were optimistic. The text of none was made public, but it was said by ad- ministration officials that the Mexican situation seemed entirely satisfactory.
 President Wilson receiva.I the re- ports before the cabinet meeting. The administration believes the danger of active opposition by Carr anza forces is growing less.
 Secretary Wilson at today's cabinet meeting told of marked increase in immigration from Mexico since the recent outbreak. Many of these Mex- jeans are destitute, he sail.

TELL MA NOT TO
 WORRY"-COSGROVE
Local Soldier Expecting to Face Mex ican Guns Soon Writes Homo
 to Father.

That the long brewing trouble which has just come to a head in Mexico will be a serious thing before ! it is over, is the opinion expressed by Tim othy Cosgrove, son of Police Off, cer Michael J. Cosgrove, in letter written firm Laredo, Texas, Monday and received by the parent today. Cosgrove is in Co. c of the 9th infan- try.
 In his letter home the iocal soldier states that the Mexican border at the present time is a ''hot bee of he'll" Feeling among both Americans and MeXicans is at the fever point, he states, and the feeling is likely to burst into flame at any moment. He writes that his regiment is a present under arms, camp has been broken and the men are hourly expecting the order to march, Furthermore, Pri- Tate COsgrOve writes that while the Mexicans are fighting among them selves they do stick together and eff you shoot one Mexican you will have to fight the w1n ole country.''
 The remainder of the letter deals with subjects of camp life and the excitement existing at present. In closing his letter the soldier ask his father to ''tell Ma not to worry about me"
 In the opinion of Private .Cosgrove the strife in Mexico will last a long tune and he writes to his father tell Ing him not to pay any attention to some newspapers that state the trouble will be over in 8 few weeks. It will be a long time before it is over, he writes.
 In the detachment of American troopers first sent across the border was one in command of aptain Ryan. John Robinson of Sexton street is in Captain Ryan's company and as his mother has not. heard from him it Is presumed that he was with the troop that first crossed the border.

MUNITION EXPLOSION
 KILLS A MEXICANS
News Was Suppressed for Fear of Anti-American
 Uprising.

Laredo, Tex, March 17.-Fourteen Carranza soldiers and ten civilians were killed in an explosion of a car load of grenades and artillery muni- ton in the yards of the National Rail- road lines at Monterey, Mex, last Tuesday, according to passengers reaching here today from Onterey The news was suppressed by the Car ranza authorities because of the ten- sion existing between the United States and Mexico.
 All the dead and injured were Mex jeans. Immediately after the explo- sion, a mountainous cloud of smoke spread over the city and the cry The Americans have arrived rang throughout the poorer section.
 The disaster, if caused by the care lessness of any smoker among the military guard about the car, will re- main unknown, as everybody in the immediate vicinity was killed The CarranZa authorities suppressed publication of the news, as it was feared the peon classes would rise against Americans.

FRlGHTFULNESS POLICY
 IS BROUGHT TO AN END
Advocates of Torpedoing Every Ship in Sight Oust-
 ed in Germany.

Berlin, March 16, O a. nl., via Lon don, March IF, 12:39 a. m.-German officials repeat the statement that submarine warfare will go on on the limits set by the German memoran- dunn to neutral powers of last month, but that the demands of those who wished to see the indiscriminate tor pedoing of "Whatever comes in front of the torpedo tubes,' to use the eN-
 presSion of one of those who adNo-
 cate this policy. will not be fulfilled.
 This is also the deduction which
 those acquainted with the situation
 declare can be drawn from the resig-
 nation of Admiral Won Tirpitz, which
 was foreshadowed a few days ago by
 the reports of his illness. The con-
 ciusion is said to be strengthened by
 the ia ct that Admiral Non CapeIlo
 has been chosen as the new minfst CT. He is known merely as an excellent
 administrative officer, not having had ship command in the last 25 years During this period he has been at the admiralty, first as advisor on mil itary affairs then in the budget de-
 partm and finally as head of the administrative department. He was
 looked on as the right hand man of
 Admiral Von Tirpitz until his retire.
 ment last November.
 The Tages Zeitung which has been one of the strongest supporters If
 Admiral Won Tirpitz, says that it is "shaken by the news of the admirals $ resignation and does not at present feel itself in a condition to make a comment thereon
 The Morgen Post says: There will be universal regret that circun- 1 stances made the retirement of the i grand admiral necessary. The req sons for this and the inner relations 1 of affairs with one another cannot 1 now be discussed, but it will be re-
 gretted that there was no other way 1 out''
 All the newspapers pay high com | pliment of the career of Admiral Won Tirpitz the Berliner Tageblatt term
 ing him lone of the few strong men
 of the post Bismarckian era Paris, Marth IS, 8:36 D. m.-The re- tirerlent of Admiral NOn Tirpitz is considered in French official circles,
 according to the Paris newspapers, to
 be due to the fact that he has op- posed the coming out of the German
 fleet while Emperor William desires to see it engage the British naval forces. Early action by the fleet is pre- sagcd.
