MORMON COLONY MAY
Be VICTIMS OF VILLA
DeSerter Says Villa Has Sworn
To Kill Americans, Men,
Women and Children

Ell Paso, Texas, March 14.-Fears for
800 American Mormon colonists in
Chihuahua were renewed this afternoon
when Villa deserter arriving at Casas
Grandes reported the banlit chief was
marching against the settlement de-
ten2ined to exterminate the colony.
Information to this effect reached
Carranzista officials at Juarez over the
restored telegraph lines.
Despite earlier constitutionalist
claims eff Villa being surrounded by
Carranzistas, he was said to have ar
rived at Casas Grandes and to have de-
manded surrender Of the Carranza gar
rison there as well as of the American
colonists.
Villa has burned every bridge of the
Mexican Northwestern railway between
Corralitos and Sabinal, making it i'm
possible for the train awaiting the
Mormons at Pearson to travel toward
the border.
According to the deserter's story,
Villa became enraged over stories that
the Mormons were to act as guides and
scouts for the American expeditionary
force.
The loss of half of his 600 men at
Columbus by the fighting around the
town and by subsequent desertiOns
further angered him. and he swore to
kill all Americans, men, women and
chilrden.

GRAND ASSAULT HAS not

London, Mar 14.-Breaking the long
lull in infantry fighting before Yer.
dun, Germans today charged into
Haudremont forest only to have their
ranks shattered by artillery fire whicl
covered every foot of ground with
mathematical precision, according TO
Paris accounts.
The Germans did not attempt to ld-
vance with large forces, and those who
survived the hail of French shells were
forced to flee.
In the Lepetre forest Paris said the
Germans attempted to regain lost
ground. Again the French artillery
blasted scores into eternity and hurled
back the charging Teutons in defeat
There was a steady artillery bonn
bardment around Vaux, but the expect

not begun, latest dispatches said.
Berlin remained silent regarding all
operations around Verdun. The only i'm.
portant infantry work mentioned by
the Germans was a repulse of British
near Wieltje, in the Ypres district.
Clear weather brought out the avi
ators, and battles nigh aloft were
frequent. Berlin announced three Brit
ish and two French machines had been
brought down.

Washington, Mar. 14.--With Ameri-
can troops on the eve of entering Mex
leo President Wilson today was threat-
ened with congressional revolt against
his Mexican policy.
An outburst Of criticism was be
lieved imminent in the senate, where
the "military reciprocity" agreement
with Carranza is disliked by "a number.
Many senators have already expressed
indignation because Carranza was Civ
en- permission to enter the United
States. An explosion was also threaten
ened in the house.
On the other hand, the White House
was indignant at the Mexican "war
talk"
1t let it be known that "iingo dis
cussiOns" we're the most embarrassing
and dangerous features of the situation.
The administration considered drastic
measures to halt the war and inter
vention agitation both in and out of
congress. Administration members dis
cussed an investigation Of intervention
propaganda, possibly by Attorney Gen
cral Gregory,
The principal protest in congress
was based on the fact that President
Wilson failed to consult the legislative
bodies before accepting Carranza g
" reciprocity" proposition. Considering
that many Carranzistas are semi-org-
anized bandits, and that many of them
are former Villistas, opponents Of the
scheme fear the agreement win result
in forays ON American soil by outlaws
masquerading as soldiers Of Caranza.
Senators Disagree.
With the state department admitting
that no military reciprocity" treaty
or written authority exists, opponents
declared President Wilson had exceeded
his constitutional powers in agreeing to
the technical "invasion" of America.
jealous Of the presidential perogatives,
some insisted the az evment would be
void unless ratified by the senate.
Administration supporters charged
opponents of the pact were actuatcd
by political motives, and promised to
severely criticise any attempt to make
political capital of the incident
Some fear Wilson 3 course will ulti-
mately mean intervention, if not hostil-
tiles with Carranza and a united Mex
leo, while others believed congress
should not hesitate to legalize the presi-
dents procedure.
Delay in starting the expedition also
threatened to provoke criticism, aimed
chiefly at the army, its transportation
facilities and its lack Of ammunition.
Administration officials insisted di-
plomacy had not impcded the work Of
mobilization.
Final orders for the Villa hunt are
in General Funston s hands. The wires
hummed today with messages conveying
details Of the expedition, while Wash
ington awaited news that the Amer
leans had entered Mexico.
Army men believed General Perish
ing's main column would not start be-
fore tomorrow at the earliest.
All reports agreed that the "mili-
tary reciprocity" agreement had a
quietiug effect upon Mexican popular
sentiment.
