pated that the Senate will pass sim liar resolution.
 Senator Chamberlain or Oregon. who has been pushing the prepared ness legislation in the Senate. says that the senate committee will meet in the morning to consider ways and means for rushing through the ad+ ministration plans for preparedness. He intimates that the Mexican situa- tion is by no means such trifiing affair as many are prone to believe, and may result in a declaration of war between the two countries. How ever, he says, the government is de- termined to put an end to the depre- dations by Mexican bandits along the border, regardless of the cost, and if it becomes necessary for this coun- try to declare war on Mexico to carry out this program then war there will be. It is believed, however, almost impossible that Carranza will put any opposition in the way of the United States troops when they attempt to capture Villa on Mexican soil.

Mexican Troops MobiIizing.

FL PASO, March 15.-Large bod ies of Mexican Federal troops are ar irving at points along the border, and it is given out by the commanders that the troops have been sent there to capture or kill Villa and his band of outlaws. There is persistent ru- nor here, however, that many believe is derived from Mexican sources, that President Carranza is massing the troops along the frontier, and will / use force to repel the United States troops should they be sent across the border and that if necessary he will form combination with Villa to fight the United States.

JURY IS ORDERED TO ACQUIT

WHITE PLAINS. N. Y.. Mar. 15-- The trial of ex-Warden Osborne of Sing Sing prison on the charge of perjury, which was commenced here yesterday was brought to a sudden close today. The charges against MT. Osborne proved to be of the fiimsiest character, and without hearing the defense the judge instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal.
 This action was not unexpected, as it has been the general belief that the charges against Osborne had been trumped up by a gang of politicians for no other reason than to secure his removal from office because he had interfered with their grating in con nection with the prison.

GERMANY MAKE FULL PREPARATION NORWAY's PROTEST EFFECTIVE Teutons Intimate Norwegian Vessel
 Struck Q Floating Mine and Asks for Proof that Bark was T0rpedOed
 by 8 German Submarine.
NORWAY's PROTEST EFFECTIVE

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 16.- It is reported in officials circles that in answer to the protest of the Nor wegian government, Germany will make reparation to the owners of the Norwegian bark which was sunk of Havre last Saturday, if proof is pro- duced that the vessel was submarined by a Teutonic vessel. The German government has denied, however, all official knowledge of the affair, and intimate that the vessel struck float ing mine.
 The vessel carried four American citizens in It's crew, and according to the stories told by the members of the crew just after the sinking, the ves- sel was torpedoed by submarine, and without warning.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 15- From advices received here last night 1t Is believed Tn official circles that Carranza Is making a supreme effort to capture Villa and his followers be- fore the United States expedition crosses the border. It is certain that Carranza fears personal violence in the event of the United States troops entering upon Mexican soil. unless Carranza himself places troops to pre- vent the invasion, as hatred of all things American is the prevailing sentiment throughout Mexico.
 Large bodies of Mexican troops are being massed throughout the country where Villa has been roaming of late, and this is believed here to indicate that Carranza will make a desperate effort to capture the outlaw and his band immediately.

WILL TRY NEW
 ROUTE ID POLE TO FOLLOW JAPANESE CURRENT Expedition to Start Next Summer in Command of Capt. Bernier, an Ex- perienced Navigator in the Waters of the Arctic Region.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-It is reported that Captain Joseph E. Bernier, a veteran of the sea, who has charted more than 500,O0O square miles in the Arctic Seas for the De- minion of Canada is completing his plans for another Far North expedi- tion, which he will command early next Summer. He will sail from Que bee on the 156-ton vessel, the Guide, 8 steamer with 100 horsepower, and equipped with sail auxiliary Capt Bernier has theory that g new route may be found to the north pole and that it leads through the open, nov ing ice caused in the north, by the Japan currents. This route would lead, if followed, north of Wrangell Island, but to the definite distribution of land and water in the Polar regions.
 1T believe there is open water in the Arctic this year as the old ice has been moving for two or three years and from the Polar basin prob ably for about ten years. Open water should prevail in Melville Straits, Lancaster Sound, the lower part of Smith Sound, and north of Baffin Bay. The new ice, which a ship would encounter up north Is not diffi- cult to navigate. It is the old fee which causes trouble"

Says Villa Is COrnered.

FL PASO, March 15.-A Carranza general from a detachment of the Mexican troops just across the line, was in this city last night. He said that the Mexican government troops had Villa and his band cornered in the Galena district, and that the out law would be captured before the American troops could enter Mexico. He asserted that President Carranza was putting forth every possible ef- fort to capture Villa and thus pre- vent the necessity of the United States troops entering Mexico, as such an act might lead to much trou- ble for the newly formed Mexican ad- ministration.

Mexicans Pursue Villa

FL PASO, March 15.--General Obregon, commander of a detach- ment of Carranza troops, is reported 10 be hurrying to Juarez, and will at- tempt to capture Villa before the United States troops have had an op- pOrtunity to engage with the outlaw, and thus prevent fight between the Mexicans and the American troops.
 The Carranza government is fear full that if any clash occurs between the Mexicans and the Americans it may n<ecipitate crisis which will bring About a struggle which may be long and bloody. The feeling in Mex leo against the Americans is very bitter.

Military Leaders Amazed.

Military Leaders Amazed. LONDON, March 15.-Military oh- servers here are puzzled over the attacks of the Germans
 on the French positions in the vicin- ity of Verdun. Why this practically Iimpregnable position should have been chosen by the German comman- ders is incomprehensibleo on any reas- onable basis, and cannot be accounted for in any other manner than that the Germans, in desperation, have cast their lot on one last throw and have selected this point as the one that would be calculated, in tho event of success, not only to yield the maximum of military advantage. but would also have particularly de- pressing effect upon the French nor ale.
 That the contest about Verdun is the supreme effort on the part of Ger many to break the French line is un-
 
 will place Germany in a position to no longer assume the offensive on . scale of great magnitude along the western front.
 While the losses on both sides have been enormous. they are bound to b. much heavier on the German side. where the initiative is than on the other. It is estimated that the ratio of losses is as five to three, and every day of the battle means so much greater advantage for the allied forces, and the nearer the end of the war, unless, as seems impossible now. this last and most terrific struggle should result in the fall of Verdun and the breaking of the French line of defenses.
 On the other hand, failure would be most disastrous to the Germans, in ia moral if not in a military sense. Why Germany, numerically weaker than her opponents. should have cho- sen to assume the offensive whara the odds would be the highest and the total cost heartbreaking. can only Ss assigned to desperation. Already the operations against Verdun have takdn a toll of human lives that Is appalling and must end within few days. for no nation could stand such loss for many days.

SAN ANTONIO, March 15.-It has heen semi-offic icially made known here that the first expedition of American troops, numbering five thousand men, crossed the border into Mexico in pursuit of General Villa and his fol- lowers last night. It is expected that second expedition will get away within few hours.
 Troops are continuing to arrive from the north, and from the num- her already here it is evident that the government will be prepared to han dle any situation which may arise. Immense stores of supplies and mu- nitions are arriving daily on special trains, which have been given the right of way over all other trains to insure the quickest possible delivery aI the various camps.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 16-- Protests against the confirmation of Louis Brandeis, as a justice of tho supreme court of the United States. were received today from Ex- -Presi- dent Taft, Joseph H. Choate. Eliha Root and three other lawyers of na- tional reputation. t&
 In each instance the opposition to Brandeis was based on his record as a prosecutor, which, 1t is alleged. show him to be biased in fis opinions and that he does not possess the i'm partiality of judgment so essential in a person occupying seat upon eAe supreme bench of this country.

PARIS, March 15.-After Hull of
 moro than twenty-four hours the
 German forces have again renewed
 the attack along the curving fifty
 mile front extending from Verdun to the north. Terrific as was the fight ing of last week, fraught with enor-
 nous losses, the present attack sur passes it. An artillery fire more ter is being concentrated on the French Notifications, every available gun
 having been brought up by the Ger mans in their attempt to reduce the French defenses. In addition to the artillery force more than 100000
 men have been brought up to rein- force the infantry in the final smash against the French line.
 Despite the terrific fire from the guns and the onslaughts of the in fantry, the French line is holding firm, returning the fire of the Ger man artillery with telling effect,
 while the machine guns and rifles of
 the infantry in the trenches are mow- ing down the attackers in heaps be- fore the trenches. The dead lie in
 windrows like grain before the now CT, many deep, and the German losses are appalling. Nor are the French escaping from the deadly hail of. shot and shell. Every accommodation for the care of the wounded is taxed to the utmost, and still the stream con- tinues to pour in from the firing line.
 LONDON, March 15.-The impor- tance to England of the battle now raging around Verdun was empha- sized by Major General Francis Lloyd, General Officer commanding the Lon
 don district, in an address at the |opening of the military building at
 Wimbledon.
 ''In the great struggle which is now going on," said General Lloyd, "every individual must give up self abso-
 lutely and unite in one bond to make
 the struggle end in victory. Do you
 realize that the terrific battle now raging is for a passage to Paris? The
 result will hang in the balance until
 the Teutons are driven back, and have the utmost confidence they will be.
 But if once our ally's line Is pierc- ed the way will be open to the French
 capital and if that capital is reached a new complexion will be put on the
 whole face of the war and on our
 lives and being. A German success on the French front would not mere
 ly mean the loss of Paris but would endanger London"

 VICTORS AT POLLS

WINNIPEG, March 1.-The pro- hibitionists have made enormous gains throughout Manitoba during the past few months, and in spite of the most desperate fight waged by the liquor interests carried the province for Prohibition by a vote of two to one. The act will become effective at the end of the month.
