Anxiety Felt in Fl Paso.

Washington, April 14.-Deep anxi- aty was felt in official circles today oyer the fate of Major Tompkins and his little force of United States cav / airy, attacked in Parral Mex, on Wednesday, known to be outnum- bered, perhaps beleaguered in dis Erict notoriously anti American. It was feared that the troopers might be in grave danger. Lack of informa- ton from the isolated detachment in- tensified anxiety for their safety.
 While awaiting official information regarding the outcome of the first battle the American troops have had m Mexico with the natives, what steps General Funston has taken to prevent further trouble, the question of what effect the attack will have on the ad- ministration's Mexican policy was un- der consideration today by President Wilson and his official family.
 4Gen. Carranza's note and telegrams urging the withdrawal from Mexico of the American troops and all infor- nation at hand regarding the latest military developments were ready to be laid before the cabinet.
 It was said to be virtually certain that no immediate order for with dfdWlnS IHe IfoopS "Ould De gwen.
 Congress had an opportunity to show it's feeling in the situation when t met today. The news of the at tack on the American soldiers at Par ral arrived after adjournment yester- day. The Carranza withdrawal pro- posal, however, seems to meet the general sentiment among the mem bers that the administration should be left free to handle the situation for the present.

TIRED LOOKING WOMEN

Some women always wear a worn. tired look. It is the outward sign of nervousness, neurasthenia perhaps, with it's characteristic symptoms of worry, headaches and sleeplessness.
 Overwork, grief, undue excitement, the late hours and nervous strain of a strenuous social season, lack of out-of- door exercise, any or all of these may be responsible for the trouble but the most common cause at this season of the year is the grip.
 Whatever the cause, if you feel the need Of more strength try the great non-alcoholic tonic, Dr. Williams Pink Pills. As the nerves get their nourish- ment from the blood the treatment must be directed toward building up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neu- rasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes $2.5O.
 Write for the free booklet, "Diseases of the Nervous System'' and a diet book. Address: Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

Desert Life MOnOtOnOuS.

Ascencion, Chihuahua, Mex, April f4.-On the desert sand less than a mile to the north of Ascension lies the camp of the American infantrym en who are guarding the lines of com munication. Their tents are pitched in the center of a little cotton wood fringed oasis Around their camp Is ] long trench ready for instant occu- Hation, while cavalrymen constantly are making their way up and down the motor supply route which leads from Columbus, N. M., to the front.
 It is a tedious job, this guarding of a wagon trail in the desert of Chi huahua, according to the soldiers, who are members of the 24th Infantry, a negro regiment. Only the occasional arrival of a motor or a wagon train carrying supplies to the troops fur Dther to the front, who are actively pursuing Villa, breaks the monotony of the task. nr
 Occasionally the silence is broken by the firing of shots. Even the town of Ascencion, lying about sixty five miles south of Columbus, N. M., offers no distraction for the soldiers Once a prosperous Mexican village, years of civil strife have left it little E the marks of the towns experiences
 Because of the order which has gone out against unnecessary firing, even hunting is under the ban.
 It is to the arrival of the motor truck trains that the soldiers look for ward most eagerly, bringing as they do supplies and news from the outside world
 The trains bring together men of every sort. They are the officers and guards of the truck trains civilians travelling in Mexico with military per- mission and the civilian chauffeurs
 Among the drivers there is a for mer cavalry lieutenant, retired sev- eral years ago for physical disability who in his spare time perfected an automobile device, the royalties from which amount to a large sum annual ly. He is driving a truck just as is a former football star at the University

PRISON FOR LIFE
 FOR KILLING WIFE
Gennaro Pleads Guilty, Embraces His Child and Is Led Away To
 Confinement.

New Haven, April 14.-Raffael Di Gennaro, in the criminal term of the superior court yesterday, was sen fenced by Judge Gager to the state 8 prison for life. Di Gennaro, or Ro- meo, as he has been sometimes called, changed his plea from not guilty of murder in the first degree to guilty of murder in the second degree. Under the circumstances the life sentence was the only one that could be legally imposed upon him.
 Di GennarO who is a man of abour 40 took the sentence apparently with indifference. Detective Gianelli had brought to the court the prisoners four-year-old daughter, whom he was allowed to embrace before being taken away to the county jail by Deputy Sheriff Peter J. McNerney. It was in the course of a dispute regarding his seeing his child that the prisoner on February 24, 1913, shot and instantly killed his wife in their home at SS Hamilton street.

 Mrs Churchill is tall, slender and quite a handsome young woman. Her age was given at the hospital as 21. but persons who know her we'll say that she is not more than 19.
 woman who claimed to know the girls family, last night said that since her husband had left her she has been friendly with a student, with whom she had quarreled, and it was the belief of this woman that the girl had taken the tablets with a view to ending her life or if she lived of win ming back the affection of this un- known Yale student

New Haven Woman. Separated From Husband Had Quarrelcd With

In an auto owned and operated by Louis Wilhelm, of 3S BroWnell street, she was rushed to the New Haven hospital, where. after an all-night fight to save her life, physi- clans had hopes of her recovery at an early hour this morning.
 She is a married woman, but as the result of some domestic trouble she and her husband have not been living together for several months. It is thought that worry over this estrange-

FRENCH LOSSES AT
 VERDUN TOTAL 15O,OOO
That Is Estimate of Germany Tn Over. seas News Dispatch From
 Berlin.

Berlin. April 14.-The French losses in killed and wounded in the fight ing around VerdUn, says the Over- seas news agency, are computed to have reached up to the present time a total of 15O,0Oo officers and men, or about four army corps.
 The news agency continues: GAG cording to correspondent from the front, the French authorities are spreading reports regarding heavy German losses before Verdun. It is said that one battalion of chausseurs lost 1076 men that is to say, about it's total number. It Is also reported that 18th army corps lost 17,O00 officers and men in storming the will lage and fortress of Vaux. This corps never participated in the fighting for the village or the fortress of Vaux.
 ''The French calculate the German losses at the round figure of 100000. The German casualties happily have not been in proportion to the impor- tance of the German gains. Besides. among the casualties is a great per centage of men who were only slight ly wounded. The number of prison CTS taken by the French is significant as the only soldiers captured by them were some who were too bold and advanced far beyond their goal
 ''As the French are steadily re- treating, they must of course, give ina ginary figures. The Germans, on the other hand, have for seven weeks been burying dead Frenchmen on the battlefield and rescuing French wounded, so they are able to compute figures regarding the French losses. which are calculated to have reached 150,O or four army corps"
