engagements in the lake region south
of Dvinsk, especially about Lake Ma

also has been busy around Riga and

The Austrians have recaptured from
the Italians a ridge north of Monte

machine guns. Attacks by the Italians

The region northwest Of Verdun,
around Haucourt and between Bethin-
court and Hill 265, is still the ""ene OF
sanguinary encounters between the
French and the Germans.
Continuing their vigorous counter
attacks on the trenches taken from
them by the Germans between Bethin-
court and Hill 265, the French, with
the use of hand grenades, have recap
tured additional portions of their lost
ground and in addition made progress
in communicating trenches.
Around Haucourt the Germans
launched a violent attack against the
French, previously having prepared the
way by a heavy bombardment lasting
several hours. The French, however.
through the use of their curtain of
fire and rapid fire guns, put down the
attack and forced the Germans to re-
treat, leaving numerous dead on the
ground as they made their way back
to their trenches.
On the remainder of the front in
France and in Belgium, artillery en-
gagements alone have been in progress.
On the eastern front there has been

USING "AARD TACK" CARTONS
FOR LETTER WRITING PURPOSES
Three Bags of Mail Received from
Troops in Mexico.

Columbus. Y. NJ, April 7.-Cardboard
sides of hard tack" cartons are being
used by advanced detachments of
American troops in Mexico for letter
writing purposes. Three bags of mail,
all written on bits of box, arrived at
the army base here today. Some of
tf,$ soldiers contented themselves with
fashionirg postcards, while others
made envelopes by folding a second
bit of the cardboard over the COM
munication. This was taken by officers
here to suDStantiate reports that the
troops are close on the trail of Villa,
making all possible speed, not even
waiting for supplies.
A number of long messages were re-
ceived from General Pershing for
transmission to General Funston at
San Antonio today, but none was made
public here. 1t was learned, however,
that General PerShing reported that
the wounds suffered by four troopers
in the Guerrero engagement were so
trivial they were not regarded as
worth reporting and that all the men
are in the saddle again.
Only the usual unofficial reports
found their way across the border to-
day, these in the main indicating that
the American cavalry, assisted by de-
tachments of infantry, are searching
for Villa somewhere in the vicinity of
Rosalio on the Rio Conches, about 50
miles south of Chihuahua City.
Orders for the detachment of Apache
Indian scouts from the White mountain
reservation of Arizona to proceed to
the frontier at once were counter
and the Indians are being held here
for further orders. No explanation
could be obtained at military head
quarters.

weather conditions had interfercd
with transmission OF messages by field
wireless. He added that he had not
been in communication with his head
quarters al COlonia Dublan for nine
days.
Wounded Privates Recovering.
General Pershing informed General
Funston of the exact position of the
advanced columns and what these
units are, but this information was
withheld. He said the four privates
wounded at Guerrero were in no dan
ger and two had almost recovered. He
did not report their names.
Forced to Halt by Exhaustion of Sup
plies.
General Pershing reported that one
of his flying scouts had located Col
onel Browns column at Cusihuirach
on April ,. It was believed here that
by this time Colonel Brown after the
receipt of supplies which arrived at
CusihuiraChic April ;, had again join
ed in the chase. His was the first COL
umn to arrive as far south as Gust
huirachic. but the exhaustion of his
supplies had forced him 20 halt there.

JOHN NOLAN RELEASED
FROM CANADIAN PRISON
Was Convicted in 1900 of Trying to
Destroy the WeIIand Canal.

Chicago, April John Nolan, who
with two others was convicted in 1900
of attempting to destroy the locks of
the Welland canal, has been released
from a Canadian prison, it was said
here today.
The announcement was made by
Bernard MacGillian, a Chicago news
paperman, on authority of a commune
cation from John E. Redmond, the Irish
leader.
John Walsh, who was convicted
with Nolan, died in prison in 1909 and
Luke Dillon. another conspirator was
released in 1914, according to Mr.. Mac
Gillian, and owing to the efforts of
Mr.. Redmond Nolan was to have been
given his freedom in 1914, but the war
interfered.
The attack on the canal was plan
ned, it is said, for the purpose of cur
failing shipments of supplies to British
soldiers in South Africa during the
Boer war.
Nolan, whose health is said to have
been impaired in prison, is on the
way to his wife and family in Dublin
according to Mr.. Redmond.

MULE A RELIABLE
TRANSPORT ANIMAL.
Proved More Useful Than the Camel
in Mesopotamia Campaign.

-odos9Iy III sLelTBnbpB9H Qspua
tamia, April THE mule has proved
a far more reliable and useful trans
port animal than the camel in the
Mesopotamian campaign. If beasts
were decorated, the mule would be
covered with ribbons. He knows not
defeat. His hardness is proverbial; /;
none of the plaques of Mesopotamia
have affected his sangfroid
The camel so far has been but an
auxiliary. The breed used here, called
Judi" is not, like his "Bedawi''
brother, trained to go without water.
but he is proof against the ubiquitous
camel-fiy, and has certain other vir-
tues of his own. In spite of his nobbly
extremities and grotesquely proper
toned limbs, the camel is a dainty
beast. His munCing gait and super
ciltous glances are generally attri-
buted to pOSo: as a matter of fact they
are the expression of an Inward and
unsuspected deIicacy. Too often the
camels uncouth bulk gives a false i'm
preston of hardness. He is not
hardy
He is brittle, and will break his leg
kicking against a stone, and he will
split up and die if his legs slip apart
in the mud. In this country snow kills
him. He is as sensitive to damp as a
city clerk. and will catch a cold if
asked to sleep in a swamp. But well
cared for, sufficiently equipped, and
taCtfully treated, he is second only to
the mule as a beast of burden.
