Ell PASO, Texas, April Advance
guards of the American expedition hunting
Villa are appearing today near Satevo and
news that Col. Dodd's cavalry has again
come into contact with the Villa force is
expected
The region between Satevo and Parral,
where Villa is reported to be heading, is
infested with numerous bands of Villa
brigands
American refugees from Sancto Juarez
district say that if Villa should succeed
in uniting these bands he would have a
force of 1000 men and would be in a posi-
ton to give the advance American troops
la hard battle before reinforcements ar
rived
Latest official information from the
front showed that the American cavalry
/ had penetrated south of San Antonio,
Chihuahua, and was still moving south
ward hard on the trail of the bandits. It
is believed that more frequent reports will
now be obtained from Col. Dodd, mas
much as it is now possible for him to re
| lay his messages by courier to chihuahua
! City and thence by Mexican telegraph line
| to FL Paso for retransmission to Major
| Gen Funston at San Antonio.

Washington Convinced That
the Attack Was Made by
German Submarine
SITUATION GRAVEST
SINCE WAR STARTED
No Definite Steps to Be Taken Until
Germany Has Replied to the In
formal Inquiries - Col House in
Council with President.

WASHINGTON, April 7. - When
President Wilson met the cabinet today
he was yet without definite official in
formation from the German govern
mcnt as to whether its submarines
were responsible for the attacks with
out warning on the channel steamer
Sussex.
Lacking such information members
said action would not be taken, al
though the administration is almost
convinced that the Sussex with her %
American passengers was the victim Of
u German submarine.
Members of the cabinet were not in
clined to take an optimistic view of
the situation, but were hopeful that
events in the next few days would pre-
vent a break with Germany either by
proof that she was not guilty of the
Sussex attack or by reparation or ex-
PLANTATION that would be satisfactory.
The state department had not re-
ceived today any inquiry from Ger
many for more information in the case
reported in news dispatches to have
been forwarded from Berlin.
There was reason to believe the
United States will not further reveal
information it holds until the German
government has admitted or denied re
sponsibility in the Sussex case.
Reports of L. s. naval attache, say
ing fragments found on the channe
steamer Sussex bore distinctive mark
ings showing them to be parts of
German torpedo, ami dispatches telling
Of scores of submarine attacks on neu
trail and other unarmed merchaa
ships within the last two weeks wer
studied at conferences yesterday be
tween President Wilson, Col f. NJ
House and members of the cabinet.
The attache S reports are regarde,
at Washington as virtually conclusiv
proof that the Sussex, while carrying
- American citizens, was attacked j.
violation of solemn and reiterated as
suraneos given the United States b.
Germany. With this fact apparentl
established, it is generally eoncede
that the United States is confronte
by situation more grave than al
which has arisen since the outbreak c
the war.
1t was said authoritatively agai
last night, however, that no defnit
step will be taken b. the America
government until Germany has replit
to the informal inquiries submitted /

men had outwitted them at their own
game, that Of slipping unseen through

The news came in after Gen Pershing

sidered of as much significance as the

Vast material growth in the city of
Kenosha is shown in the annual survey
of the city, made by the Wisconsin
Telephone Company, which was COM
pleted today by Glen r. Howe, man
ager of the Kenosha exchange and it
shows that 1916 and 1917 are to be
the banner years for building i'll the
history of Kenosha. The survey was
made for the business purposes of the
company and every figure is based on
a personal survey of the premises and
figures furnished by contractors. Here
are some of the things shown by the
survey: Estimated population of Ke-
nosha, $4,000; residences under con-
struction now, 155; value of residences
under construction, $500, 400; business
houses under construction, 25; value
of business houses under construction,
$213,000; factories under construction
or planned before end Of 1917,
$2000,000; clubs and fraternal build
ings, $165,000; total value Of build
ings sunder construction or planned,
$2,86S,000.
This represents only building for
which actual contracts have been let
or are about to be at this time. 1t
takes into consideration no changes or
alterations or repairs which are going
on and has no place in the considera-

tion Of the municipal contracts for
pavements and sewers or the building
of the Kenosha water plant. To in
clude the value of these improvements
in the survey would bring the total up
close to $3,5O0,O0O.
Every part of Kenosha is shown by
the survey to be effected with the
building fever, but the great mass of
the new residences are being built to
the west of the tracks of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway Company.
The report made by Mr.. Howe shows
that there are no cheap buildings I'M
der construction in the city. The list
Of new residences includes forty
houses which have been started by the
Kenosha House Building Company in
connection with the big movement to
provide homes for Kenosha work
men. 1t does not include any of the
other four hundred houses planned.
The survey shows that there are 131
residences being erected to the west
of the Chicago and Northwestern
tracks and that the value of these
houses will be $4,000. To the east
of the tracks there are "a houses under
construction and the value of these is
placed at 10000. There are thirteen
