While extensive troop movements were in progress along the border during the day the state department received from General Carranza, head of the de >facto government of Mex iro request for permission to send his troops, should occasion arise, across the border into the United States in pursuit of the bandits The note immediately was forwarded to President Wilson on the Mayflower, and tonight he sent word he would consider 1t until his return to the capital Monday morning and then would confer with Secretary Lansing before making any decision.
 There was every indication that officials viewed General Carranzas 3 request in favorable tight.

SINKING S|L|US MADE SUBJECT
 OF AN INQUIRY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Secre- tary Lansing today instructed Consul Osborn at Havre, France, to secure and forward immediately all available details of the sinking in Havre roads of the Norwegian bark Silius, from which seven American citizens were rescued. Consul Osborn had previous iy reported that the Silius was tor pedoed without warning on the night of March 9. If a torpedo did destroy the bark, which was bound to Havre from New York with grain, the govern ment responsible will be held to strict accountability. Such an act would be contrary to all assurances which the United States has secured.
 Officials seemed inclined, however, to refrain from forming an opinion until it was known positively that torpedo and not a mine sunk the ship.
 Should Consul Osborn's investigation establish that a torpedo actually was responsible, the United States officials indicated they will view the matter as even more serious than if a passenger carrying vessel was involved. The state department considers that American seamen have even a greater claim to protection than passengers. A passen- ger travels at his discretion, while 6 seaman is compelled to do so hy his occupa ton.

French Official Report An nounces There Has Been No Recent Attempt at German Infantry Action Along Whole Front

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel
 The German offensive for the time being has been slackened in the Yer dun region. The French official re port announces that there has been no recent attempt at infantry action on the part of the Germans along the whole front.
 On the east bank of the Mouse. the region around Douaumont is being subjected to a heavy bombardment but on the rest of the center and in the WoeVre the guns are not work ing so actively and on the wastern bank of the Mouse in that section from .Bethincourt to the Cote De LOie, the artillery duel has been com paratiyely unimportant.
 In that region the Germans claim to have re-taken most of the Cor beaux wood, the possession of which is likely to prove q factor in an at tack on the Cote De IiOie, the Ger mans also holding hill 26J to the northeast of that important strategic position.
 Describing the German attacks on the French trenches west of Douau- mont on Friday, the official state ment of the French war office says that the Germans three times in col umns of four rushed forward to the assault but were moved down by artillery and machine gun fire. They were forced to retire leaving the ground covered with bodies
 Saxon regiments by sudden thrust in the Champagne, at a point where there have been few breaks in the routine of trench warfare for several months have captured positions of a considerable section of the French front The German war office an noGnces that the ground gained was about two thirds of a mile deep along 1,400 yards of front and that several guns and more than 100 prisoners were taken.
 The attack was made at point near Rheims, some distances west of the scene of the last previous German assault in the Champagnei There have been no indications thus far that the Germans have attempted to follow up their attack. Apparently it was a detached move. similar to their successful stroke in the Cham pagne during the early part of the Nerdun drive.
 Although the French continue to offer stubborn defense before Yer dun, the Germans have succeeded in gaining additional ground. Berlin an- nouces that the French have been cleared from CorbeauX and Cumieres woods west of the Mouse. The official French statement says the Germans captured part of the town of EauX, northwest of Verdun, but were unable to reach the fortress of that name.

 It generally is expected that the American forces, which probably will number in the neighborhood of 7.5oe men, will ny that time be well on the trail of the bandits who raided Co., lumbus.
