GERMANS SHOW VIOLENCE
STRONG EFFORT TO Retrieve
PART OF THEIR LOST TERRI
TORY FROM FRENCH.
French Hold Positions Along Line and
Germans Retire in Disorder Leav-
Ing Ground Almost Covered With
German Dead.

London.-In an effort to retrieve in
part their lost territory, the Germans
despite the bad weather, made yio-
lent counterattacks against the
! french over a three-mile front in
! the region between Priez Farm and
Bouchavesnes, north of the Somme.
In mass formation the Teutons
threw attack after attack along the
line from o'clock in the mornine
until dark, and at the end of the dav
the French were everywhere holding
their positions, according to Paris,
and the battlefield at points was Gov
cred with German dead.
During the fighting the Germans
penetrated the northeastern part of
the village of Bouchavesnes but here
the French met them with the bay
onet and dislodged them Four as
saults at the Priez Farm at which
the Germans came on in waves were
repulsed by the French whose obser-
Vers assert that the Germans at last
withdrew in disorder, leaving manv
dead behind them
On the British front the fncIement |
weather still holds the opposing sides
to artillery duels.

VILLA TO RETURN SOON

CITY, SCENE OF LATEST
ATTACK.
Commander Of FL Paso Military Dis
trict Tells U. S. War Department
That Bandit Chief Led Mexican In
dependence Day Raid.

Wash1ngtOn.-The most detailed &C
count yet received of the fighting al
Chihuahua City when Villa celebrated
the Mexican independence Day by a
successful assault on the Carranza gar
r1son, reached the war department
from Brig. Gen. George Bell, com
handing the Ell Paso military district.
UT asserts that Villa personally led the
Iattacking forces that he took and held
numerous important buildings in the
city for several hours; that he was
joined by thousand or more men of
the Carranza garrison and retired,
promising to return soon and taking
with him a large quantity of captured
arms, ammunition and artillery.
General Bells dispatch does not
show the source of his information and
many officials believe his account of
the incident was founded on rumors
reaching the border and were various
stories which have been transformed
by state department agents. They
were inclined to beneve for that rea-
son that the full truth of what trans
PRED is not yet known. Reports so
A"i AONCA'0u are SIMILAR only IN that
they show fight did occur on Septem-
ber' Is and that the Villa followers
took the penitentiary and some other
buildings. They all conflict as to the
part Villa played, not even agreeing
that he was present
Evidence increases to show that !
villa was completely successful in his
attack Saturday upon Chihuahua and
accomplished all and more than he
said he would do. There is diversity
II opinion and statements as to the /
number of men with which he enter
ID Chihuahua. Some reports state he
'nIy had about 500, while others give
I'm 100. but all agree that he was
IDLE to secure possession of the neni-
the governors palace and the
ederal buildings, hold them for sew
raj hours and all this with a Carranza
aTrlson at chihuahua. He Inherited
yer zoo prisoners, secured and carried
way more than Is automobile loads of d,

London.-The continued depletion
OF the worlds supply of tonnage as a
result of the operations of the sub
marines of the Central Powers will
be met by an increase in stringent
measures by which the Entente AL
lies design to control shipping, so as
to ensure it being used to the best
advantage of the Allies and prevent
1t even indirectly aiding their opnon-
ents, according to a statement made
to. the Associated Press by Lord
Robert Cecil, Minister of War Trade
Lord Robert admitted that even the
present rate of destruction without
considering the possibility of re-
sumption of unrestricted submarine
warfare, meant serious loss to the
worlds tonnage and that consequent
~ 1t would not be expected that
British coal or ether British facil-
tiles should be expended on ships
goods to blacklisted firms.
The Entente Allies will increase their
shipping measures, which already are
proving valuable in making the best
Use of available tonnage in propor
ion as the Germans succeed in de-
'troy1ng merchant ships.
