CANO FIGHTS AGAINST VILLA
Officials Convinced Carranza Columns
Are Cooperating.

Washington, April 4.-Evidences of
cooperation by Carranza troops with
the American forces hunting Villa, ap-
rarently disposing finally of rumors
that Colonel Cano and his command
had deserted to Villa, came to the war
department from General Pershing.
He reported an engagement on March
20, presumably near Guerrero, be-
tween Cano's troops and one of the
bands into which Colonel Dodd scat
tered the main Villa force.
AS this clash, in which Manuel b.
CO, leader of the outlaws, is said to
have been killed, occurred on the
day that Colonel Dodd struck the Villa
army, officials were convinced that
the Carranza columns were actively
cooperating with the Americans.

TO RENEW VERDUN ATTACKS
GERMAN ATTEMPT TO RUSH BIG
FORTRESS SEEN.
New Batteries of Large CaIiber Moved
Up-Fightng Favorable to French
-Teutons Take Ravine.

Paris, April A new phase of the
battle of Verdun has begun and the
belief prevails that the violence of
the latest attacks foreshadows another
attempt by the Germans to rush the
fortress with vast forces. New bat
teries of large caliber have been moved
up closer to the French front and the
German infantry has been rested and
reorganized.
Fighting continued all night in the
Verdun region east of the Meuse be-
tween Douaumont and Vaux The is
sue turned generally, the war office
announcement says, in favor of the
French, who gained ground in the
northern part of Caillette wood, which
had been occupied by the Germans.
Try to Clear Approaches.
Fighting on the whole was not un-
favorable to the French it is authOri-
tatively stated. The object of the Ger
mans was to clear the approaches to
Fort DOuaumont and $4,000 men were
thrown forward on the mile-and-a-half
line between DouaumOnt fort and the
village of Vaux.
The attacking force succeeded in
crossing little ravine which hitherto
had stopped them in entering the Gail
lette wood Further east they dis
lodged the French from the last ruined
houses of the village of Vaux, but the
French positions we're so placed as tC
make it practically impossible for the
Germans to debouch from the village.
Vigorous French counterattacks drove
them back to the upper fringe of Gail
lette wood.

Washington, April Accusing his
department of having furnished speci-
fications and intimate details of the
14-inch guns, armor strength, and
other offensive and defensive features
of the United States army to other
governments "big navy" members Of
the House naval committee subjected
Secretary Daniels to a gruelling cross
examination.
Representative Butler of Pennsylva-
MIA made the charges that the navy's
plans and specifications had fallen into
the hands of the Russian government
and the Krupps under Daniels admin
istration. The secretary denied any
knowledge Of the charges.
Knows Nothing of Case.
EDO you remember having turned
over to the Russian government the
designs and specifications of our IA
inch gun, armor and other national
effects during your administration? 2
Butler asked.
Il do not" Daniels replied.
"If that was done, you would say
it was wrong?" Butler asked.
absolutely" Daniels retorted.
"Then you know nothing of the fact
that the designs and specifications
were furnished the Russian govern
ment under your administration, But.
Ter insisted.
II know nothing of it," Daniels re-
piled.
To Ask for Letter.
"Will you ask Admiral Strauss for
a copy of the letter sent to the Krupp
company in Germany SO we will know
whether the specifications of our IA
inch guns were given to the German
government" Butler asked.
Daniels said he would ask for the
letter. Daniels urged passage of the
armor plate without amendment, op-
posing an amendment offered by But
Ter that the private armor manufacture
ers would be given contracts in case
they would bid price satisfactory to
the secretary of the navy.
Objects to Armor Plate Price.
tI know it would be a costly ex-
pertinent" Daniels said. Il know
these armor plate dealers would not
produce armor at any price without a
large profit. l would not give to any
secretary the power to deal with mon
opolies. 1t must be a public transac-
ton. The rule of the secretary under
your amendment would be final. A
price that might be satisfactory to one
secretary probably would not be to an
other The whole proposition for pri-
vate contract for armor plate manu-
facture is unsatisfactory to me-"
Daniels said the armor plate deliv-
cry had been prompt and the quality
satisfactory, the only objection being
the price.

ALLIES TO SEARCH PARCELS
SEND JOINT REPLY TO PROTEST
BY UNITED STATES.
Assert Intention to Continue Looking
for "Contraband Concealed Under
Postal Folders"

Washington, April 4.-The govern
ments Of the Allies through Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador,
have presented to Secretary Lansing a
joint reply to the protest made by the
United States against the seizure, de-
tention and censoring of neutrals'
mails.
1t declared that no legitimate letter
mail had been cOnfiscated nor any
treaty rights violated, but emphatical-
ly asserted the Allies intention to con-
tlnGe searching parcel post packages
for "contraband concealed under pos
tai folders"
"True Correspondence" Untouched.
In regard to true correspondence"
the note says Allied governments
will continue for the present to re-
frain from Selling and cOnfscating at
sea these letters, correspondence and
dispatches, and they will insure the
most rapid transmission of them pos
sible, as soon as the genuineneSs of
their character is known"
The vigorous protest of the United
States against the treatment of neu-
trail mails was based largely on evil
dence in the possession of the state
department, that while mails had not
always been searched at sea, neutral
ships upon being taken into British
ports for inspection had their mails
removed, detained and otherwise in
terfered with. The reply does not
mention this phase of the controversy.

among teachers for the so-called
county Institutes, in which teachers
are compelled to attend for week
and listen to paid takers for six or
seven hours a day usually in hot

made up of papers and discussions
by the teachers themselves, with the
