HAVRE March IA majority of the crew of the Norwegian. bark Si- lius. which was sunk in Havre roads last Thursday, in statements to the Associated Press, declared today that the bark had been torpedoed without warning by submarine and that the vessel was unarmed.
 The French steamer Luisiana and the Silius lie within a hundred wards of each other. The Silius was sent to the bottom half an hour after the liner had gone down.
 Of the seventeen members of the crew of the Silius. seven were Amer ican Youth-noviCes who were making their first "oyage. They said they signed because they wanted to see a little of the world" Charles Gun life, IS years old of Atlantic City, explained that the bark had been huffeted by tempests for 31 days be- fore the French coast was sighted The ship was carried for nine days out of her course and the crew has been so overWorked that they were looking forward to reaching port and had quit worrying about seeing the world. So tirede were the men that they were not awakened by the ex- plosion which sank the Luisiane close by them. with the exception of John Hartmann of Philadelphia, who was on deck and sustained broken leg by being struck by q splinter The eX- plosion was d very strong one. crush ing in the ship.

Republican A. p. Leases Wire1

SAN ANTONIO. March 1S.-That sufficient force is now gathered at the Mexican border. under the command of Brigadier General John J. Pershihg. to begin the pursuit of Francisco Villa, was announced tonight by General Frederick Funston.
 The general said that only the com- pletion Of plans for backing up the cxpeditionary force was needed. He
 was non -committal, however, as to the time needed to accomplish. this.
 Earlier in the day General Funston had announced that the action of Gen. eral CarranZa in refusing to permit American troops to enter Mexico un- less Mexican troops were allowed to enter the United States in search of bandits would have no effect on the dispatch of the expedition.
 General Funston declared reports that American troops had been or dered to cross the border in pursuit of Villa were untrue. Reiter-
 ating previous statements. he said it would be useless to send any thing but a strong. well prepared force into Mexico.
 That the expeditionary force will be a strong one was indicated by a 1 statement of the general that when i the expedition was fully organized. | there would be only six o, eight regl- ments other than these on the border, l left in the United States. This did not l take into account troops in the canal zone and the Philippines.
 Outside of mentioning two or three
 scattered movements, the general re- ! fused to give any definite idea of the
 size of the expedition, by stating what l I

DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 13.-It was definitely reported tonight that General Gales has nobiliZeG about 5000 Car ranza troops at Cabullona, IS miles south of the Arizona border.

tion to preclude the possibility of armed intervention in Mexico.
 Reports from the border laid be- fore President Wilson by Secretary Baker during an hours conference tonight indicated that such progress had been made in the mobilization of American troops that first force against Villa was ready to move into Mexico at any time
 President Wilson was said tonight to resent deeply persistent reports that the United States expects trouble from General Carranza. Some ad- ministration officials expressed the view that a certain element in the United States was purposely mis- representing the facts in order to bring about war with Mexico
 The president. it is understood. be- lieves that General Carranza has shown a commendable desire to CO., operate with the United States and that the only real danger of serious trouble over the pursuit of Villa by American troops lies in published reports telling of plans of the Amer ican government for war" If the issue becomes clear cut that both President Wilson and General i Carranza want Villa, the murderer and bandit, eliminated, for the assurance 1 of peace and security, admlnistra- - 1 ton officials do not believe there
 will be serious danger of widespread i resistance
 l There was serious discussion in ad
 ministration circles today of makinl
 an effort to stop the publication ol
 ahrmist reports. The president dis
 cussed the situation during the day
 with Senators Stone and Salisbury i members of the foreign relations committee.

 The wires from Juarez to the colony were cut last night by Villas men, Gonzales restored them this evening" Villa, Gonzales reports is at Galeana, a town about twenty miles due east of Corralitos, where he was last previous ly reported.

Switching their activity from the east to the northwest of Verdun, the Germans are hammering at the Salient of Le Morte Homme and the region of the bois .Rourrus, in an en- deavor to bring their line further south on the western flank of the fortress.
 To the east of the Mouse and in the Woevre district there has been d ments of both sides. The infantry everywhere on the Nerdun front has been inactive.
 In line with the bombardment of Le Morte Homme and the Bois Bour- rus, the Germans are assembling men in the region between Forges and the Bois Des Corbeaux, probably with the intention of throwing them into the fray should the intense lombard - artillery, however, have had this as- sembling point under the fire of their guns. No advantage is claimed by either side in the latest fighting around the fortress.
 Back of the German line to the north of Verdun, a French air squad ron dropped l30 bombs on the station at Brieulles and at other points around Nerdun. French and German avaitors nave met in combats in the air with the advantage incontestably in favor Of the French according to Paris. At least three German aeroplanes are declared to have been brought down While others were seen by the French observers to have been in distress.
 In the region of Seppois, upper Alsace, the Germans essayed an at tack on trenches that the French had captured, but were repulsed with con- siderable casualties. The French guns have done damage to German posi- tons north of the Aisne, in Cham pagne and in the eastern portion of the Forest of Argonne.
 In northwest Russia around Riga in the Ikskull district and on the Jacobstadt sector there have beer violent artillery duels. In GaIicia southwest of Kolki and along tn, mlddel stripe river. the Russians have been successful in small engagements with the Teutons.
