Sussex Is Torpedoed


 LONDON, March 25.-The cross damaged by an explosion in the Eng fish channel last evening while on a trip from FOlkestone to Dieppe. has been .towed into a French port the mamie of which is not disclosed, says a dispatch to the Central News from FOlkestone.
 There were thirty Americans aboard the Sussex. which left Folkestone yes terday shortly after noon in clear weather. The vessel proceeded with out incident until A.: 20 p. m., when she was struck amidships as she was ap- preaching the coast of France. A terrific crash followed and several hands in the engine room were badly .injured. Wireless messages brought help from both sides of the channel and all the passengers were rescued. The Sussex. as already reported, was lowed into a French port, the name of which is still withheld.
 T think it probable that there were number of Americans among the passengers of the Sussex" said Robert P. Skinner the American consul gener- al, in reply to question blythe Asso- ciated Press, because in the last few days my office has vized passports for many Americans going to France" At both the American embassy and general consulate there were rumors that the Sussex had been torpedoed but neither had received any details. The Sussex left FolkstOne at 1: 20 o'clock this afternoon flying the French flag and met with mishap somewhere off Dieppe at o'clock tonight Wher the alarm was sent out a number of

ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SETTLE DOWN TO AWAIT WORD
 IF CAPTURE IF VILLA AND BAND
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March "A. With disqu;eting reports from Mexico off cially denied from all sources, admin istra. lion officials settled down again tonight to await word that Villa and his ban6its had been captured or killed by American or Mexican troops. The apprehension aroused by reports that the Carranza garrison at Chihuahua city had joined the bandits had com pletely subsided. While congress still heard talk of rumors of impending border disturbances, the White House, state and war departments were sat- isfied that nothing had arisen beyond the border to justify additional mili- tary precautions.
 No confirmation had reached the war department of advices to General Gales, Carranza governor of Sonora, that Villa was surrounded by columns of Mexican and American troops nea- Namiquipa. The day passed without messages of other than routine char acter from General Funston or other army officials on the border. It was noted at the war department, however, that General Funston placed some credance in unofficial reports that General Pershing's troops already had met and engaged the bandits. Since the American border commander is in a position to know the exact where abouts of the American columns pur- suing the bandit, his opinions in this l connection have great weight.
 The report that General Herrera and his garrison in Chihuahua had re- volted was positively. denied by Amer | jean Consul Letcher at Chihuahua city Disturbed by conflicting rumor. from the border. state department of | ficials last night telegraphed Mir Letcher for an immediate report. Hi reply was available when Presiden l Wilson met with the cabinet thi. l morning. Measuring messages hat come also from many points just be

British Steamer Englishman Which Piled Between Portland, Me-, and Avon mouth, Has Been Sunk Torpedo or Mine?
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1


 With 386 passengers, probably some of them Americans and a crew of about fifty on board, the cross chan mel steamer Sussex, plying between Folkestone. England and Dieppe, France, was in distress in the English channel off Dieppe. Unofficial reports say that the vessel was torpedoed.
 The British steamer Englishman, a vessel of 5,257 tons. which plies be- tween Portland, Maine and Avon mouth, has been sunk but whether by a mine or a torpedo has not been stated. Sixty-eight persons on board were rescued Whether this number constituted the entire ships company is not known.
 It is stated in the French and Rus sian war theaters that the heaviest battles are in progress, but fighting also continues in the AustrO Italian zone. in Serbia, near the Greek from tier and in Asiatic Turkey. The French are keeping up their vigorous bombardment of the woods of Malancourt and Avocourt, north west of Verdun, which are held by the Germans, and also are hammering away with their guns at German | lines of communication in the eastern fringes of the Argonne forest. To the north and east of Verdur an intermittent bombardment by the l Germans and French second line po- | sitions is still going on. with the French replying energetically. | The only infantry encounter along the western front took place in tho l Argonne forest, where the Germans gained a portion of d French frs :, by a counter attack and lost some I thirty men taken prisoner. All along the Russian front iron the region of F'riedrichsstadt to th' district around Wilma, the Russian: land Germans are hard at grips. Pet trograd says that near Widsy. between 1 Dvinsk and Wilma, the Russians forced all the German lines and barricade, and repulsed vigorous Geffhar lcounter attack.

WANTS MILITIA FORCE CALLED
 OUT: IN TEXAS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

FL PASO, March 24.-Evidence of the seriousness with which the local authorities regarded the border sit uation was supplied tonight in an an nouncement by Sheriff Peyton James Edwards that he had telegraph Governor James E. Ferguson that he believed the state militia should be sent to the frontier
 Sheriff Edwards said that he did not wish to be considered an larm- ist but that developments in Mexico convinced him that additional prOtec- tiOn was needed for Americans along the border. He refused to give the
 wording of his telegram or say how many additional troops he thought necessary.
 The action of Sheriff Edwards, fol-
 lowing that of the Arizona authorities in directing that the border cOmpan- ies of militia of that state be recruit ed to full war strength gave renewed , force to the tension which earlier in the day had shown signs of relax ing.
 There is a sharp difference in the point of view between federal and To- cal officials here. The former in- sist that while the situation is filled with dangerous possibilities there is i no reason to fear any immediate 1 crisis. The local authorities, on the other hand, are equally pisitive that

Wireless is Received from Auxiliary Ship of Antarc- tic Expedition Stating the Craft Damaged and Pro- ceeding for Repairs ...
NO WORD FROM
 LIEUT.. SHACKELTON
Apparently Attempt Had Been Made for Months to Send Wireless from Ship Sent to Rescue Explorer and Party
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wfre]

LONDON, March PA wireless message from the auxiliary ship Au- rora of the Shackelton antarctic ex- pedition was received in London yes terday. The Aurora at the time the message was sent was in the far South Pacific. The wireless said the steamer had been damaged and was proceeding to New Zealand for re- pairs
 The fate of Lieutenant Sir Ernest which set out to cross the south pole, is not known.
 Apparently an attempt had been made to send the wireless for several months, but it had just been received at the New Zealand station which forwarded 1t to England. The mes sage was sent by member of %he staff of the Aurora, which went from Australia to Ross sea at the end of 1914 for the purpose of bringing back Shackelton's party, when they had crossed the south polar continent. It was not known that the Aurora had
  was delivered to an officer of the ex- petition which had been closed for some time.
 The news as received in London leaves the world completely in the clark -as-to the doings or whereabouts Of Lieutenant Shackleton and his inn mediate party. If they have carried cut their program they now are pre- sumably at the Ross sea base, but without the expected ship to take them off.
 Even if Shackleton has been un- successful in the attempt to cross the pole and has had to retrace his steps to the Widdel sea base, thence to re- turn to Buenos Aires, the relief ex- petition will have to be reorganized to effect the rescue of Lieutenant Aeneas Macintosh, R. N. R. in com mand of tlie Aurora and a number of his companions who were left on shore at Ross sea when the Aurora broke from her moorings. The sreat question is. will the stores which the men possessed be sufficient to sustain the lives of the party for a year.
 The information contained in the message received at London was at orfce communicated to King George who presented Lieutenant Shackletor with flag to carry during his march and who has taken great interest ir Shackleton's task. The news caused grave consternation among the rela- tiyes and friends of the explorers
 Until the Aurora arrives at some port and full story of her adven. lures is available, the extent of the loss sustained by the party cannot be definitely known.
 The full text of the wireless mes. sage received in London contained about 400 words. It said that thu Aurora had reached her destination late in January 1915 and landed two parties under Lieutenant Macintosh and also a considerable quantity Si stores. Meanwhile the Aurora lav al her moorings off Cape Evans. Sev- eral attempts were made to find a safe harbor but these all failed rw-

Have Probably Met Villa

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 24-- General Pershings report to General Funston that two columns of his eX- peditionary force were in the vicinity of Namiquipa, 125 miles southeast of Casas Grandes. and repeated reports from Mexican sources that Villa with a comparatively small force had been forced to a stand at Fl Oso, near there, caused officers here to expect news at any time of battle. General Funston thought it probable that an engagement might already have oc- cured.
 General Pershing referred today for the first time since last Monday to his operations south of Casas Gran des, but his report contained, little | information and none concerning any encounter between Villa and American soldiers or troops of the de facto government. He said Villa last had been at Namiquipa. His report was dated today and reached Columbus by wireless and was transmitted by tele- graph to Fort Sam Houston.' It was taken by army officers here to indi- cate that either no engagement was fought yesterday with Villa or that General Pershing had not learned of it.
 l Consul. Beltran of the Mexican gov- crnment received message late today from Consul Garcia at Fl Paso say ing confirma tion had been received of the report that Villa had been de-
 feated yesterday in the Santa Ger trudes canyon by the American and
 Mexican forces and that he had fled
 to Fl Oso, five miles from Namiqui-
 pa, where he was surrounded The
 consul added that one of the Ameri-
 can officers with the expeditiorary
 forces had reported to General Persh-
 ing that he would attack Villa today The American troops near Nami quipa moved south and east from
