g KNOWN DEAD

Field Headquarters, Mexico, June g. (By Wireless to Columbus, N. M, June 2c.)-Twenty-thr American soldiers are known to have lost their lives on the battlefield at Carrizal, according to re- port to General Pershing from Major Jenkins, commanding the Eleventh cav airy column, ordered to SCOUT the coun- try in that vicinity for survivors.
 The report told of the rescue in safety of Capt Lewis S. Mercy after he had made a daring stand in the face of heavy Mexican odds and heroic personal sacrifice in an effort to save the lives of his men,. Major Jenkins said he had evidence that nine American troops in addition to those previously reported dead had been killed.
 note found on the body of Capt Charles T. Boyd, the commander who lost his life in charge of the Mexican machine gun trench, proved that Gen. Felix Gomez, the Mexican commander, invited him into the town of Carrzal, end that he had refused and afterward conferred with Gomez outside the town.
 Neither the notebook of Captain Boyd nor that of Captain Mercy. both of
 
 light on the clash, according to the re- port.
 After the first firing K troop, under Captain Morey's command, took refuge in nearby adobe, Major Jenkins reported. Realizing that they were surrounded and outnumb cred by Mexican troops, he ors dered his men to leave the hut in small attachments that their chances of escape might be increased
 HID NEAR SCENE
 Captain Mercy, himself suffering with slight wounds. with four men, remained hidden throughout the day in the house which was within 2OoO yards of the Car ranza line.
 That night the party of four started afoot in an attempt to make their way back to the expeditionary command. However, Captain Mercy soon became so weak from loss of blood that he was un- able to walk, and believing he was dying. he ordered his men to leave him. and save themselves. This they did, but short ly afterwards the wounded officer man- aged to rally enough strength to crawl to the ranch house of an American named McCabe, living about nine miles from Carrizal.
 Major Jenkins reported that he had found Captain Mercy hidden in McCabe's house. and that his wounds were not dam gerous. Upon the receipt of the dispatch General Pershing said l3 members of the command engaged had been accounted for, and that one other is known to be alive, but is lost in the desert The re-.

but proceeded. She was thereupon fired upon until halted, and without further orders lowered two boats in which the crew took their places. Af- ter the commandant convinced him self that the boats, which had hoist ed sails, had gotten clear of the steamer, he sank the steamer.
 At the time of the sinking, a north northwest wind of the strength of two, mot a storm wind,'' and a light swell, not t'ai heavy sea-" as stated in the given description, prevailed. The of being picked up very quickly be- cause the place of the sinking lay on a nuch-used steamer path.
 If the crew of the steamer used only two small boats for saving them selves, the resp onsibility falls upon themselves since there were still up on the steamer as the submarine could establish, at least four big collapsfble boats.
 Fifth-The French steamer Sussex. -Ascertainment of the fact wh ether the channel steamer Sussex was dam aged by 8 German submarine was rem dered extremely difficult because no exact details of time, place and at- tendant circumstances of the sinking were known and also because it was impossible to obtain a. picture of the ship before April 6. ConseQuently the investigation had to be extended to all actions undertaken on the day in question-March 24-in the chan nel in the general region between F'olkestone and Dieppe.
 In Middle of Channel.
 In that region on March 24 a long black craft, without a flag, having a gray funnel. small gray forward works and two high masts, was encountered ra-< oLT-.- nel by German submarine. The German commander reached the def mite conclusion that it was a war vessel, and, indeed g, mine layer of the recently built English Ara;bis class. He was led to that conviction by the following facts: First, by the plain. unbroken deck of the ship; second, the form of the stern, sloping down ward and backward like a. war ves- seI; third, she was painted like a war vessel; fourth. the high speed deve1- oped, about eighteen knots; fifth, the circumstance that the vessel did not keep a course northward of the light buoys between Dungeness and Beachy Head, which according to the frequent and unvarying observations of Ger man submarines, is about the course of commercial vessels, but kept in the middle of the channel, on a course about in the direction of Le Havre. 
 Vessel Is Attacked
 Consequently he attacked the ves- seI at 3:55 in the afternoon, middle European time one and one-half sea miles southeast of Bull Rock (BuI- lock) Bank. the submarine being sub- merged. The torpedo struck and caus- ed such a violent explosion in the for ward part of the ship that the entire forward part was torn away to the bridge. tA
 The particularly violent explosion warrents the certain conclusion that great amounts of mun1tioRs were aboard.
 The German commander made a sketch of the vessel attacked by him, two drawings of which are enclosed. The picture of the steamer Sussex, two copies of which are also enclosed, is reproducd photographicaIly from the English paper, the Daily Graphic. l of the 27th ultfrno.
 ] A comparison of the sketch and the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-04-13

picture shows that the craft attacked is not identical with the Sussex; the difference in the position of the stack and shape of the stern is particularly striking.
 No other attack whatever by Ger man submarines at the time in ques- ton for the Sussex upon the route between F'o1kestone and Dieppe oc- cured. The German government must therefore assume that the in jury to the Sussex is attributable to another cause than an attack by a German submarine.
 For an explanation of the case the fact may perhaps be serviceable that no less than 26 English mines were exploded by shots by German naval forces in the channel on the 1st and 2nd of April alone. The entire sea in that vicinity is in fact, endangered by floating mines and by torpedoes that have not sunk. Off the English coast it is further endangered in an in creasing degree through German mines which have been laid against enemy naval forces.
 Should the American government have at it's disposal further material for 8 conclusion upon the case of the Sussex the German government would ask that it be communicated in order to subject this material also to an in vestigation.
 In the event that differences of opin- ion should develop hereby between the two governments, the German gov ernmept now declares itself ready to have the facts of the case established through mixed commissions of inves- tigatton in accordance with the third title of The Hague agreement for the peaceful settlement of international conhicts-Nov IS, 1907.
 The undersigned, while requesting that you communicate the above to the government of the United States, takes occasion to renew to the am bassador the assurance of his dis tinguished esteem.

 VIEWS OF Worlds War
FRENCH

Paris, April 13.-Calm prevailed in the whole region of verdun last night, this mornings official communication says. Preparation was made by the Germans for an attack on Hill No. BOA, but the attack was prevented by the French from being carried into effect. No other important developments were reported at the front.
 The text of the statement follows: <. t"The night passed quietly in all the Verdun regions. The German attack which was being prepared yesterday evening against our peons at Hill No. 3o4 did not progress at the point of leaving the trenches, The curtains of fire maintained by our artillery and the bombardment from our batteries in a neighboring sector directed against the columns of the enemy as- sembled in the wood of Ma1ancourt apparently put an end to this man oeuver.
