Gen, FUNSTON SAYS VII:
La IS NOW IN HOT WATER

'feated by Mexican government
troops near Las Cruces and that he
was retreating northward. a
General Pershing's report, was fol-
lowed, however, by the unofficial re,
port that Villa was still fighting at
Namiquipa, south of Las Cruces.
If the Carranza force wins in the
lighting that was said to be contin'
uing late yesterday, Villa will have
to move northward along road ov-
Ter which a detachment of American
troops is riding southwark or leave
the road and head for the Santa Ma
ria mountains that parallel the road
to the east, or to the Oriental range
on the west side.
Retreat, according to the report,
is impracticable because of the pres
|ence in his rear Of Mexican troops
who forced him to turn northward
from Las Cruces.
The detachment that is headed
south on the road along which Villa
was reported advancing, is one OF
three subdivisions operating south OF
Casas Grandes. One column was
sent towards Lake Babicora, seventy
miles south of Casas Grandes, and
somewhat to the west. The other
two detachments moved as one to
Galaena, south and east of Casas
Grandes, and there separated, one
continuing in more easterly direc-
ton towards Carmen, sixty-five miles
from Casas Grandes and the other
south toward La Cruces, fifty miles
from Casas Grandes, which now has
become the advanced base of the ex-
peditionary forces.
Just where General Pershing is,
was not announced, but he is direct
ing the work of the three detach-
ments and by means of scouts is at
tempting to keep communication.

Berlin. (via London), March r.
The Russians offensive which be-
gan last Friday, is, according to dis
patches from the eastern headquart-
ers, evidently a serious attempt to
relieve the pressure at verdun.
Between lakes Deswiaty and
Wichnevskie, the artillery began
range finding Friday and infantry
attacks began Saturday morning in
strong force on all parts OF this sec
ton of the front.
Northward of Postavy and at sew
era1 other points heavy divisions at
tenn pied surprise attacks at dawn
without artillery preparation, but
were easily repulsed.
Two hours later the. Russian ar
tillery began Smelling the German
positions furiously, especially south
ward of Wichenvskie lake and north
ward of Postavy.
Nevertheless, the results Of this
drum fire were remarkably slight.
Thereupon the Russian infantry
pushed forward in thick masses to
within range of the whitening fire Of
the German machine guns, which
played terrible havoc with them.
The Russians fell in heaps. None
of them lived to reach the German
range, although the lines range only
between so and 400 yards.
Southwark of Narocz, where the
German line bands, making flank fire
possible, 5000 Russians dead were
counted, The Russians continue
their attacks there all day but made
not further serious attack at Pos
tavy after their first repulse.
notwithstanding this determined
fighting, the report says that the
Russians are showing less Of their
former recklessnesst in sacrificing
troops.
The German losses are described
as astonishingly slight and the spir-
it's of the troops are excellent, there
being sense of relief in the serious
work after a long period OF inactiv-
ity.
