which was the first we had had in
nearly eighteen years, Herbert

Grantham had Unexpectedly found
himself in a position which gravely
disturbed the even system Of his ca

he had found the ideal environment

WHY EGYPT is SECURE
FROM ATTACK BY GERMANY

All stories about the Germans build
ing railways and supply roads across
the desert are mere fabrtcations. They
create amusement in Constanttnople,
where the character Of the soft, sandy
region east Of the canal is well known.
German staff experts in Berlin es-
timated that camels, travelling from
the end of the damascus railroad to
the Suez canal could carry only five
pounds each OF ammunition or sup
plies in addition to their own forage
for the long trip. This tended to dis
solve the Arabian Nights dream pic
ture of long trains of cameis moving
enormous quantities Of army supplies
to the SueZ.
1t can be stated definitely that
Egypt and the Suez canal have been
left out OF German and Turkish plans
for a year at least. The Germans,
however, Will continue to make
threats against the canal, hoping to
persuade the British to keep about
half million troops idle in Egypt,

Frightful Slaughter of Lives

LONDON, March 13.-The battle Of
Verdun entered its fourth week today
with reports of intense artillery bat
tling around Forts Douaumont and
Vaux and at Bethincourt, on the west
bank Of the Meuse, evidently in prep
aration for heavy infantry attacks.
The Germans searched out the
French front all day Sunday with a
terrific hail of steel project1les. The
French accepted the cannonading as
the forerunner Of renewed attempts
against Fort Vaux and the positions
northwest of Verdun and made ready
to meet the assaults.
Dispatches from Berlin today con-
tanned the first admission from Ger.
man sources that the teutons no long
er hold Vaux fort. An official state.
ment two days ago, admitted that the
French by counter attacks, had gained
a foothoid in the fort. Major Moraht,
military critic of the Berlin Tageblatt,
reports that the Posen reservists who
occupied Fort Vaux were driven out,
but expresses the hope that their re-
pulse is only temporary.
Paris dispatches brought detailed
account Of the fighting for Fort Vaux
They credited the Germans with great
bravery, but repeated the official
claim that no German soldier en-
tered the fort itself.

French positions about Vaux village

advanced toward the fort which
stands 300 feet above the surrounding
plain, attacking first the outer re-
doubts on the Meuse ridges.
French artillery officers say they
never saw German generals sacrifice
lives so recklessly,' said one dis
patch. Time without number, the Ger
man columns debouched from their
trenches and rushed to attack in lines
four deep, only to be smothered by
the French fire. French six inch and
eight inch shells exploded right on
top of the marching columns and
when the smoke and dust cleared,
nothing was left but a mass Of piled
bodies.

Apprehensive that the depletion OF

age the twenty thousand Mexicans in

Of American residents are going
armed. Brig. Gen. J. J. Pershing, in
command at Fort Bliss, has given the
authorities assurances that the city
will be protected. Deputy sheriffs
with automatic rifles have been sworn
In.
The reported mutinous spirit Of the

aroused apprehension.

The Carranzista even expressed be-
lief that the first American blood
spilled might not be by Villista, but
by Carranza soldiers opposing invas-
ion as the initial expedition sweeps
into Juarez to take over the Mexican
railways.
He feared that If this happened.
the friendly invasion" would cease
to be fact and with a rebellion on
their hands the Americans would be
compelled to conquer most Of Mexico
instead Of merely taking Villa dead
or alive.
No cooperation was displayed to-
day by the defacto Mexican forces
gether, fewer men would be needed
and the determination of Villa would
be accomplished much more quickly.
However, the American army officials
feel a strong contempt for the mill
tary abilities of the Carranzistas.
If cooperation is arranged and the
Mexican people do not rise against
the American soldiers, the biggest
man hunt in history will open with
the movement across the border. Re-
doubling their efforts to capture villa
themselves and thus render the Amer
lean invasion unnecessary, the de-
facto government is reported to have
1850 men closing in on Corralitos.

are mobilizing on the border to enter

soldiers after one man.
