Halt of American Troops Leads 6an-
 dits to Believe them Defeated.

Fl Paso, April 27.-The news of the battle at Tomachic, in which Colonel Dodd routed 260 Villistas, was accept d here as strong confirmation of re- cent reports that the inactivity of the American troops had encouraged the numerous bands cf bandits in north orr Chihuahua to unite and resume ,he,r depredations. According to in- formation received here the bandits
 ave accepted the halt in pursuit of fila es meaning that the Americans ave been defeated by the b 7ndlt for ecs and soon will be driven out of Mexico.
 Mexican officials in Juarez urge this as an additional reason why the eApedtionary force should be prompt ly withdrawn. They claim that t1e forces of the Carranza government are hampered by the presence of the Americans, as their leaders have re- frained from any extended operations in order to avoid any possibility of clashes with General Pershingx troops.

"pri5e. seems 70 Be On.

Operations of the Germans i'm the
Neuville region and in the Artois have
been of intense character in the past
few days, the attacks being hurled at
the allies over a wide stretch of terri
tory, one after the other.
The battle has been waged day and
night, the artillery engagements being
particularly severe all along the whole
western front. While doubts were,
early in the week, expressed that the
Germans would continue their effort
in the face of appalling losses suffer-
ed in their first offensive movement.
the actions of today would indicate
that the present movements are but
part of a determined drive on Calais,
goal coveted since the Teutons were
turned back from Paris. Both London
and Paris claim that the allies are in
better position to Withstand heavy
German assaults than at any time
since the war started. and are not
fearful that the enemy will achieve
his goal.

i ing French infantry surrounded the
fort and neighborng habitations.
Buildings were searched and the in
habitants ordered removed.
Reasons for the Action.

cording to the dispatch, was dictated

Another reason for the landing was
that ii was believed that German SUBJ
