The Overseas News Agency quotes
the following report from the Frank

at Narocz lake:
The immense forests which favored
the Russian attacks greatly during the
winter now have. become a serious OBJ
stacle. owing to the fact that the
whole district now is converted into
a swamp. German patrols waded in
water which reached up to their
chests.
The German troops offered heroic
resistance to the Russian attacks of
the last few days at this place. A
headquarters report mentioned the
bravery of Saarbruecken troops. The
commanding general expressed his
especial appreciation to Silesian ter
ritorial, who jumped upon a parapet
when the Russians attacked In masses
and hurled about forty hand grenades
into their ranks. This man by himself
stopped the attack at this place"

Gen. Pershing Tells, in Report, of
Finding Bodies of Bandits
After Battle.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. April 1.-Filla's
loss in dead at the battle with Ameri-
cans at Guerrero Wednesday was
placed at sixty by Gen. Pershing today
in a report to Gen. Funston.
The bodies were found in houses in
Guerrero and scattered in the under
brush for miles along the routes taken
by the fleeing Mexicans Villa himself
was believed to be northeast of Guer-
zero. but Gen. Pershing expressed the
opinion that there was little chance of
his escape.
Detachments from four regiments of
cavalry had been disposed in such man
ner that the district where he had been
reported was practically surrounded.
and every point of escape carefully
guarded, according to the report.

march 31-April l." causing army OFF,
GERS here to believe it was written yes

Additional details of the fighting
about Guerrero were not given by Gen.
Pershing, but he said yesterday that a
snowstorm sweeping over the San
Geronimo ranch, region of high
elevation, had made the operations Of
the troops more difficult and exceed
ingly uncomfortable for the soldiers.
From Customs Collector Cobb at Ell
Paso Gen. Funston received a COM
saying that an American
from Mexico had reported to him that
Villas mon had killed a German named
Blankenship and two Americans whose
names he did not know on March 81 at

April 1.-The main headquarters cor
respondent of the vossische Zeitung
sends the following report on the ad-
vance of the GermA ms at Malancourt:
The thunderous work of the artil-
lery again furnished the prelude to a
successful resumption of infantry ac
tivity west of the Meuse. Continuous
artillery fire suddenly increased to gi-
gantic violence, and like an immense
thunderstorm the explosions ratified
increasingly across the rolling country
side. They sounded as if a huge depot
of ammunition had exploded, detonat-
ing thousands of shells in apparently
endless series. After several hours the
terrible melody suddenly ceased and
the assault was made successfully. with
but slight loss to the Germans.
German Position Bettered.
The German position west of Yer
dun was improved by this advance at
Malancourt. The Germans were able
to press into the village itself. and to
reach the first row of houses on the
northern side, which were the most
strongly fortified.
Il had an opportunity today to in
spect the booty so far taken in the Yer
dun battle. The quantities of weapons,
munitions. uniforms and supplies of all
sorts which are accommodating here are
incalculable
Slightly wounded men who had been
nghting west of the Meuse declare that
the struggle was severe. They seemed
surprisingly fresh and were in 1ocular
humor, although they showed plain
traces of the extreme exertions through
which they had just passed"

the details Of the troops disposition since

reports, but there was no disposition to

Of the truth of the report that Villa was
badly wounded prior to the fight at
Guerrero. and it was believed that his
escape was now highly improbable.

such an undertaking should have been

ed such critical difficulties from one
day to another. owing to the thawing
of the snow. The choice of the time de-
cided upon was due much less to the
will of the Russian command than to
the enforced requirements of a needy
ally If the present cessation of at
tacks is attributed by Russia officially
to the sudden change in the weather,
that is only a half truth.
The losses suffered in the severe
repulses have been carefully calculated
and are estimated at 100000 men. The
enemy would be more correct il it said
that the great offensive up to now was
not only stif1ed in the swamps, but in

lived, but information as to its con-

TO HAVE CONFESSED
New York World Prints Letter
Purporting to Be Admission
He Killed Peck.
SAYS CHARGE is JUST
AND HE EXPECTS TO DIE
His Attorney Said to Have Sane
toned the Publication-State-
ment Of Reasons.

NEW YORK, April .. Sunday
What purports to be formal confes-
sion by DIR. Arthur Warren Waite that
he murdered his father-in law. John E.
Peck of Grand Rapids. is printed this
morning by the New York World. The
confession is said to have been con-
tained in letter sent to the newspaper
by Waite. Accompanying it is another
letter signed by Walter Rogers Deuel..
Waite's counsel, in which he is quoted
as saying Waite desired to make his
statement ITO unburden his soul sonie-
what from the heavy load upon it as
ment."
Extract From Waite's Letter.
The letter said to have been signed
by Waite follows, in part:
Il have been informed that l have
been indicted for the crime of murder
in the first degree. | know the pun
ishment is death.
The indictment is just and the pen
atty is one that ] deserve, for l have
killed John E. Peck.
II have thought and thought while
lying in my bed here in the hospital.
have gone over all the incidents of
the past few months of my life, and
have made my peace with my creator.
1 now desire to make atonement for the
wrong that ! have done.
ut is terrible grief to me that
should have brought obliquity and
shame upon my wife and upon the
name of my good parents and made my
brothers to suffer as they do.
Il am relieved to make this, my con-
fession."
Statement by Attorney Deuel..
Mr.. Deuel. is quoted as having said
he did not advise against the publica-
ton of Waite's letter. He is declared
by the World to have authorized the
statement that Waite had confessed to
him that his murder plan included 1.-The
killing of Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Peck,
his wife (Mrs. Arthur Warren Waite)
and any one else who should happen to
stand between him and the Peck mil
lions"
Doesn't Realiez What he Did.
1T is only just to DR.. Waite to state"
Mr.. Deuel. is quoted as saying. that he
does not now have any real realization
of what he has done, in my opinion
and in the opinion of others who have
visited him since he was taken to Bel
levue Hospital. have said that no de-
fense would be made on the facts-that
the defense conceded the murder of Mr..
Peck Therefore, as his counsel. / have
permitted him to make the statement
he did"
