2OOO CARRANzA TROOPS ARRIVE NEAR CUMPAS
 SONORA !
Gen. Arnulfo Gomez in Com mand, Visits Agua Prieta for a Conference with Gen. P. Elias Gales.
lsy Review Leased Wire, ',

DOUGLAS. March 27-General Ar nulfo Gomez. commanding a column of two thousand de facto Mexican troops, arrivedin Agua Prieta this af- ternoon for a conference with General P. Elias Gales. military governor of Sonora. Gomez left his column in the vicinity of Cumpas and Monte zuma. approximately 150 miles south of the border.
 The new troops will be stationed at Esqueda, thirty-five miles south of douglas at Cabullona, where General Gales previously had established his forces. retaining but a small number in Agua Prieta, opposite here. The new troops movement is said by Mex jena officials to be for the purpose of establishing nIUbile ioiee in {, pOs. tion where it it can strike rapidly northeast or southeast in protecting the Chihuahua border from any at- tempts on the part of Villa to enter Sonora.
 Esqueda is the railroad station for Fl Tigre. situated B miles eastward. and that camp can be protected also, it was stated. It was not said whe- ther the new forces are bringing any artillery.
 X United States army aeroplane was sighted Saturday afternoon at Fl Ti gre, lowering over the camp for sev cral minutes at a height fapprox imately 1000 feet according to Ameri can soldiers today. The flier aroused much interest among the Mexican troops. The biplane was we'll handled and was at least twelve thouand feet above the sea level, the Fl Tigre mountains having an altitude of eight thousand feet. The machine flew due east toward Casas Grandes, after completing what appeared to be ob- servations for several minutes in all directions from the line
 General Alvsro Obregon. secretary of war of the defacto government. has ordered the dismissal of all govern ulent employees paid in gold accord ing to advices received by consul Ives G. Lelevier This will affect Ameri- can employees, such as engineers and secretarys. all of who were paid in gold or it's equivalent.
 Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler of Cochise county. Arizona, denied late today that he intended 10 go to Cabullona to in spect the main troops stationed there, as had been reported.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. March 21.-Less than two feet of levees tonight was holding the rising waters of the Scioto River, preventing flood which earlier in the day had threatened to equal that of 1913. Thousands of persons moved from their homes to higher ground. Chances tonight favored a passing of the floods crest without a break in the leyees. Cessation of to- days downpour in the upper Scioto Valley and the coming of slightly cold weather quilted the anxiety of the 30, GOO residents of lowlands in this city.

MEXICAN BANDITS ATTACK RANCH NEAR
 THE TEXAS BORDER
Caretaker of Property is Bad ly Beaten by Marauders of Southern Side of the Inter- national Boundary.
(ey Review Leased Wire )

FL PASO, March 27-The ranch of C. E. Kelly, former mayor of Fl Paso, 32 miles east of here, was raided to- night by Mexican bandits who drove off a number of cattle and badly beat the caretaker
 Two attachments of the Eighth Cav airy are in pursuit of the bandits. One troop started at full gallop from Fab ems. two miles from the ranch. A sec ond left Ysleta. some miles on the oth- CT side. at the same time in an effort to cut them off from the river.
 The alarm was given by an unknown woman who got a telephone call in to Captain Moses, in command of the troops at Fabens.
 General Bell announced late tonight that the troops that had been sent to pursue the MeXicans who were report ed to have raided the Kelly ranch had returned and reported that they had found no trace of the raiders. The officer in charge said that he had in- terviewed the Mexican caretaker. who was supposed 10 have been beaten. and that his story was so conflicting as to discredit the entire account of the raid.
 MT. Kelly was notified by a long dis tance telephone message from his fore man. The foreman said the raiders were supposed to have come from Guadalupe, across the river from Fab ems. The Mexican employees on the ranch held them of in battle in which more than one hundred shots were exchanged.

VILLA ESCAPES FROM GORDON IF DEFACTO
 TROOPS
Manner in Which Bandit Got Away from the Region of Namiquipa Brings Suspicion Upon First Chiefs Efforts.
(sy Review Leased wire.)

SAN ANTONIO. March 27.-Fran- cisco Villas escape from the region about NamiQuipa following his victory over a part of the Mexican troops, was unopposed by other attachments of the de facto government forces. ac. fcording to unofficial but credible re- ports reaching here today.
 The cordon of troops that the Mex ican authorities announced should have been drawn across his path, gave way, according to- these reports, with willingness that indicated their cooperation with him rather than with the American forces.
 Army men here are inclined to be- lieve reports of inefficiency and half hearted cooperation. Reports from General Pershing to Gen. Funston dealt only with routine subjects, pIin- cipally having to do with the tran sporting of supplies. The positions of troops were not revealed but it was known that the cavalrymen were still riding hard along the track left by Villa. Officers of the quartermaster's department studied the best methods of getting provisions, especially sup plies for the horses and mules. to the field army, while Gen. Funston and his stan anXiously studied the may, referring frequently to the scale of miles that showed the advanced cav airy columns rapidly nearing points 800 miles away from the border
 It was realized here that the early capture of Villa would be little bet. ter than an accident.
 Villa and his followers, it is stated, will have no difficulty in keeping ahead of the pursuing Americans. Their hope for an early ending Of the chase is that CarranZa troops will finally check Villas flight or that Villa himself, after poining one or more of his wandering bands in south ern Chihuahua or from nothern Du- rango, may decide to fight il out with the steadily advancing cavalry of the punitive force.
 That Villa will be able to effect a juncture with a considerable force before he is brought to a stand is re- dl Canuto Reyes, one of his generals, who has been operating in the vicini- ty of Torreon, is known to have ex- ceedingly mobile force that is by no means negligible and in the state of Durango it is said the Arrieta broth CTS are in a position to move north ward to his support.
 Unofficial observers have offered a theory, regarded as somewhat fanci- ful by American military men, that Villa. after joining these and others. will continue his movement to the south with hope of gathering strength as he goes and with Zapata and other enemies of the Carranza government. attempt once more to gain possession of Mexico City. Although this theory is little credited at headquarters, it is realized that he probably can go about as far as he like now without seeing an American soldiers for many weeks.
 General Funston will continue his headquarters here, althought it is probable that he will go to Fl Paso few days for brief stay.

 -(by wireless 10 COlumbus)-
 Villa is flying southward toward
 the foothills of the Sierras. Ac-
 cOrding to army reports received
 here today the rapidity of his
 flight is precipitating the Ameri-

 to force the bandit into a corner.
 The Mexicans, residents of this sec tiOn which has been ravaged time and again by Villistas. are freely giving information concerning his flight. sup plies. armament and strength. to the Americsl military authorities. While much of this information has been too indefinite to be of value. it is presuin- ed that the knowledge that the Ameri- cans are kept informed as to his movements. has influenced the bandit to the greatest haste in his retreat
 Although the United States troops are following closely in his wake. so far il is stated. no hghting has taken place
 FL PASO, March 27-With the con viction that the capture of Pancho Vil- Ia was going to prove a long and te- diOus one, attention here was turned once more tonight or the railroad sit nation. Dispatches from Washington and San Antonio showing that the Un- tied States military authorities were becoming increasingly impatient. for the completion of arrangements vita Gen. CarranZa for the use of The MeNi- ran roads. confirmed the belief held here for the last week that the rail road problem was the present crux of the situation.
 Army officers here privately admit that the question of getting adequate supplies 10 the forces al the front is growing serious. They say that the present system of motor transports- tion across the Chihuahua desert has proven entirely inadequate and as Gen. Pershing's columns push farther into The desoIation of western Chihuahua .he supplies problem is growing acute.

Two Tickets in Field for Vot- CTS Heavy Registration is Had But Vote is Not Ex- pected to Be Heavy.

With a registration on a large scale, but which promises to bring out a comparatively light vote today. the primary for city election approaches with weather forecasts good and with every indication for an interesting contest.
 There are but two tickets in the field at this election; the democratic and republican. The socialists and progressives failed to nominate tick cts.
 Though there is considerable inter- est in several parts. of both tickets yet it is forecasted that the vote will, probably. be light on account of the general trend in both parties of lack of opposition. ij,

It Has Been Established By the State Department that No American Lost His Life On Board Channel Steamer. LOSS OF BOAT MAY
 PRECIPITATE TROUBLE President and Lansing Are Plainly Worried Over the Situation. Germany May Be Asked to Explain.
(By Review Leased Wire )

WASHINGTON, March 27.- With all evidence indicating that the British channel steamer Sus- sex. carrying American citizens. was the victim of 6 torpedo. it was stated authoritatively here to- night, that if a German submarine made the attack, the imperial government would disavow the act, punish the submarine com rnander. offer reparation and satis fly the United States that the act was in violation of instructions. Thus it seemed tonight that the issue might narrow ,sown to the question of whether the United states would be willing to accept such action by the German gov ernment President Wilson is awaiting, with deep concern, the receipt of conclusive evidence not only in connection with the Sussex. but as to the sinking of the British steamer Englishman. One American life is said to have btSI lOot "ilCi illC LnSiiSiihdH went down.
 Already it was intimated at the state department, the United States has in its possession infor- nation sufficient to warrant the making of an inquiry of the Ger man government as to whether any of its submarines fire a tor pedo at the Sussex or the English man.
 The president holds the opinion that all the details available should be at hand before definite action of any kind is takea He described the situation to callers as being grave but said no decis- i've step would be taken pending the receipt of additional facts.
 It is known that the President is seriously considering going be- fore Congress and laying the en- tire question of submarine warafre before that body.
 Certainly he will communicate the situation in full to Congress before taking any definite steps which might lead to the severance of diplomatic relations.
 All phases Of. the situation prob ably will be discussed at the cab inet meeting tomorrow.
 Official expression of the atti- tude of the administration was avoided today but high officials made no attempt to minimize the situation which will confront the United States if it is established conclusively that German sub marine sank the Sussex an un- armed, peaceful passenger carry ing vessel in violation of rights of humanity the principles of inter- national law and the solemn as surances of regarding the conduct of submarine warfare which have been given to the United States by the Central European powers.
 President Wilson was in con stant communication with Secre- tary Lansing during the day and all reports received from consular agents and diplomatic represen tatives were sent to the White House as soon as they were re- ceived.
 Among the Presidents callers was Chairman Stone of the Sen ate committee on foreign rela- tions.
