REYES ON WAY TO join VILLA
MANY BANDITS PASS DURANGO
RAILROAD NEAR TORREON.
Outlaws Reported Operating in Sierra
hoiaoa, One of the Widest
Spots in Mexico.

Torreon, Mex, April II. - Canuto
Reyes, at the head OF a number of
bandits, passed the Durango railroad
near Pedricena going north. 1t is
supposed that his object is to join
Villa who, according to latest reports,
is somewhere midway between Tor,
Te"n and Parral. Pedricena is about
30 miles southwest Of Torreon.
Fresh Bandits Arriving.
A large number of bandits are re-
ported by arrivals from the north to
be operating in the Sierra Moiada.
The Sierra Moiada is 100 miles north
Of Torreon and an equal distance west
of Parral. 1t is n of the widest aud
most desolate spots in Mexico. There
is a good deal of speculation here as
to the possibility of Villa and Canuto
Reyes planning to concentrate their
forces In this Sierra. If they do, any
troops coming from the direction Of
Parral would have to cross the terri
BILE Mapimi desert, a burning waste
stretching 100 miles north and south
and from 90 to 60 miles in breadth.
1t is a spot that is dreaded by Next
cans and summed by foreigners.

Ottawa, Can, April 10.-According
to a witness communication received
from the front by the militia depart
ment, German efforts were made dur
ing the week of March % to April 4
to dislodge the British troops from
trenches captured March q.
The attempt involved an action by
Canadian troops in driving the Ger

From these craters the Germans at
tempted to seize another crater and
prevent the linking up of the new Bri-

One engineer and eight Lascars of

bound for Calcutta, were killed when

The Russian hospital ship Portugal
was sunk by a submarine on March 80,

FADING HOPES OF EARLY
ENDING OF CHASE REVIVED

FL Paso, April 10.-Francisco Villa
has been definitely located at La Bou-
quilla, according to a code message
received here from Torreon, Mex. La
B%ouquilla is So miles southeast of Sa-
tevo and about an equal distance north
of Parral.
The message from Torreon has
again revived the fading hopes of a
successful termination to General
Pershing's expedition. American
troops are known to have reached Sa-
tevo and are believed to have pushed
south of that town. The chance that
another brilliant dash like Dodd's ride
10 Guerrero may bring the troopers
up with the fugitive bandit is being
eagerly discussed here.
