GERMANS PREPARING TO RESUME
THEIR ATTACK ON VERDUN
Devastating Fire Directed At French Csmmuni-
cation Points BY the Heavy Guns Of
Crown Princes Army

attack against the German line on the
northern ridge of Deadman's hill dur
ing last night, the German war office
reported this afternoon. The attack
failed, Berlin declared. This French
counter attack evidently was defen-
sive measure designed to strengthen
French positions In anticipation of the
coming German offensive.
Tonight's official statement from the
French war office reported the resump-
ton OF the bombardment, said that the
enemy cannonade was particularly vio-
lent IN Caurette woods and in the vi
cinity of Esnes. Artillery on both sides
was very active during the day on the
east bank of tho Meuse also.
In the Argonne, French artillery to-
day shelled roads near Montfaucon,
over which the Germans were moving
supply trains.
Reciprocal artillery firing occurred
around st. Eioi, wytsehaete and Sou
chez. the British commander-in chief
reported. The Germans exploded five
mines In the quarr.es near Hulloch
without doing any damage.

AMERICAN COLONY ON

San Francisco, April 15.-Mystery
tonight surrounded the cause which
made all Americans flee the island of
Palmetto del Verde, off the coast of
Mazatlan, where they had gone to es-
tablish a tropical colony, and raise
garden products.
< Many San Franciscans are included
among the fugitives. The only word
of the affair received so far was q
telegram from Herbert A. Schmidt to
his father here, saying: "All San
Franciscans well and coming on the

The colonists dressed in light muslin

garments. They went to the island less
than a year ago. Heretofore all let
ters from them have been optimistic.
They built bungalows and club houses.
The first tomatoes sold here this season
came from Palmetto del Verde and a
big cocoanut crop was expected. Rela-
tives here think something of start

LITTLE BOY WAS
THE VICTIM OF A
DEPRAvED Mind
Body of BILLY" Clark, AL
bany Boy Missing for
Three Weeks, Found in
the Woods.

Albany, N. r., April i6.-'Billy'
Clark, eight years old, missing FROM
his home for three weeks, was the
murder victim of a degenerate. The
crumpled little body was found today
by police officers in a stretch Of woods
on the Schenectady road, six miles from
Albany. An autopsy performed by DIR.
Charles L. Bay showed the boy had
died as the result of broken neck and
other horrible abuses. Although there
is no mark showing how he was killed,
it seems probable that the child was
struck in the back of the neck or was
thrown upon his head.
Other evidences of foul abuse showed
conclusively that little Billy was the
unfortunate victim of a depraved mind.
The condition Of the body. which was
but partially clothed, would indicate
that the child had been dead for more
than a week. Chief of Police Hyatt
is making thorough investigation of
the country surrounding the place
where the body was found, but as yet
no clues as to the murderer of the
little fellow have been found. 1t is
believed, however, that he had been a
captive in some Albany dive, where
for two weeks he was abused by his
degenerate captives. Then when the
child seemed to die from the physical
abuses he was coldly murdered and his
little body placed in the woods, where
1t was found.
Long Search for Boy.
It was three weeks ago today that
Billy left the home of his aunt, Mrs.
John Shea, to go to the movies" with
some other children. After leaving the
theater he became separated from his
comrades in the crowd and no more
was seen of him.
When the loss of Billy was made
known the search for him was at once
taken up by police, boy scouts and
even a group of society women. For
days the search went on. but no trace
of Billy" Then Mrs. Shea. the boys
aunt, received letter signed "The
Black Dogs" demanding a $4,000 ran
som. for the child.
Late yesterday afternoon botanist
found a small coat and hat near the
Schenectady road and reported the
matter to the police. Mrs. Shea saw
the clothing and identified 1t as that
worn by the lost boy. Immediately the
police began search of the surround
ing country and found the boy lying
in the underbrush partially clothed, a
short distance from where the hat and
coat had been found.

from Major Sample at Ell Paso. Aside
from stating the wire has been cut
Sample had no further Information.
Headquarters officials were anxious to
learn the location of the break to learn
some indication of the position of the
raiders. 1t was announced that sew
eral new detachments already sent in
to Mexico will not be used merely to
guard the line OF communication, but
will rush forward to add strength to
General Pershing,s command. No fur
ther inroads will be made on the bor-
der forces, however. Funston is
known TO have made up his mind on
this point, deciding that IL any more
soldiers are needed for Pershing's aid
they will have to be taken from the
guard along the line of communica-
tions.
Chagrined by the brevity of General
Pershing's report. after four days of
anxious waiting, the major general de-
elared sharply he had rushed forward
a demand that Pershing furnish de-
tiaIs. He expressed great relief, how
ever, to learn that first reports of many
cavalrymen being killed were exag-
gerated.

washington. April 15.-Secretary OF
War Baker made 1t doubiy certain to-
night that the villa hunt will con-
tinue for the present. In formal
statement as 10 withdrawal. he de-
clared no change in original orders to
break up Villas band or bands has
been made and that none Is In con-
temptation. Yet he left q loophole.
whereby In week or In a month the
American forces can be returned, for
he said informally that there 10 no
present intention of changing the or
ders. Further, he suggested. the pub
lie is not interested in processes OF
thought whereby settled policy il
determined. leaving the impression
that the administration policy toward
Mexico Is not fully developed.
Carranza's continued corporation
with the villa punitive expedition is
believed to play an important part in
administration plans. Baker declaring
the 'co-operation continues and the
expedition continues"
Cordial Co operation by Mexico.
"The status OF the expedition into
Mexico" he said, sis as 1t was at the
beginning-in cordial cooperation
with the de facto government OF Mex
leo. There has been no change either
in the purpose or the orders. No
change has been made IN the orders
and none Is In contemplation.
He said he hoped the Parral clash
would prove exaggerated and, without
further serious consequences. General
Funston was understood to have for
warded further reports, but nothing
had been heard from Pershing. Fun
ston has orders to protect American
soldiers. It was said, but his exact
steps were not revealed.
Secretary OF State Lansing spent his
day on German-American matters, He
mas no appointment with Mexican AM
Arredondo in which to fulfill
his announced willingness 10 treat
over withdrawal
No New Troop Orders,
Army men pointed out 1t was sig
nificant that no new troop orders were
made today. This may mean, they
said, that the ultimate idea Ia TO with

haste as to give the world-or Car
