ADDITIONAL REPORTS
FROM PERsHING EXPECTED
Secretary Suggested Sending
General Scott to Mexican
Border.

San Antonio, Texas, April 20
While Major General Hugh Scott,
chief Of staff, is hurrying to the bor-
der as the personal envoy Of Secre.
tary Of War Baker, General Pershing
is holding his forces in Mexico in
what practically is a defensive posi-
ton. No developments Of great I'M
prtance were told of in reports re-
ceived today at General Funston's
headquarters, and it was evident that
the pursuit Of Villa had been halted.
Unofficial reports were that Villa had
made his way south into Durango, al
though official Mexican advices con-
tinued to indicate that officials at the
war department in Mexico City still
give some credit, ut least, to the stO-
ry that the bandit chieftain had died
at some point south Of Cusiuhirachic.
AmpIify German Trouble.
On Monday the Chihuahua city
newspapers printed dispatches sup
posed to have come from JuareZ,
stating President Wilson was about
to deliver an ultimatum to Germany
and war would be declared within a
week. This information was brought
here from Chihuahua by Americans
returning from Chihuahua City.
The arrivals said the news of a
crisis pending between Germany and
the United States was common talk
in Chihuahua City on Sunday, As
hours before the facts were made
public in this country. On Monday,
an American who visited Guirrez was
greeted with this remark:
"Well, l suppose the Mexican stu

going to war with Germany
Mexicans Keep Informed.
The Americans who returned here
said the MeXicans were being kept
fully acquainted with every step in
the negotiations between Berlin and
Washington through an official agen'
cy in Mexico City and they knew
more about the crisis between the
United States and Germany than they
did about the pursuit of Villa.
Drive Americans Out.
Major J. NJ. Carpio, of General OBJ

honeymoon here, issued statement
tonight denying the reported story
that General Obregon is hostile to
the United States. The last of these
stories, and one which received wide
credence, was that the Carranza min

WAR LOSSES.

The classified statement of British
casualties shows that in land opera
tons the number of killed averages
almost exactly one to every three
wounded. The other armies no doup,
nave suffered losses in about the
same measure as between killed and
wounded. OF the wounded probably
four-ifths, and even mere, return 70
active service, so that the process o;
attrition is slower than it might seem
at first glance. But the captured, who
contribute in the largest part to the
lists Of tae missing, are out of the
fighting for good, and for the rest Of
the war can no more be counted as
electives than the dead. In this re-
spect the Russians and Austrians
have been the heaviest sufferers.
