Pershing's Camp at Front. April 10, by Aeroplane to Columbus, N. M, April Il. The cheapness in which the Villa forces hold human life was brought out pointed ly here today by J. H. Locke, an Amer ican of Minaco, who escaped from that city the night of March 2s, when Herman Blankenburg, German, and David Bruce. an American, were killed by the bandits Locke described to General Pershing his utter recklessness with which these two were slain.
 Letters found on Bruce indicated that he had adopted pen name in Mexico while trying to sell magazine stories, and that his friends expected him to write something about Villa. The letters gave his right name as Don McGregor. He was from Minneapolis. Chicago and Denver.
 Locke said Blankenburg was killed when a bandit cut him down with sword. Bruce, he said. was shot Locke said he escaped, running through the entire Villa band.
 "The night of March 2S.' said Locke my hotel. Early in the morning, before daylight, we heard shooting, and soon .Carranza soldiers said that Villa bandits were attacking the town. This was the same night that Villa attacked Guerrero and San Isidro. Two soldiers remained behind guarding the room where the Car ranxa commander resided in our hotel and which he left at the shooting to take com mand of his troops. I told the other two, get away immediately before daylight. Blankenburg said he would not leave, that he was German with nothing to fear.

 RODE THROUGH BANDITS
 '.The Villa bandits were riding. through
 the streets fighting Carranza troops when
 they encountered them, and shooting wild
 ly the rest of the time. The moon was
 in it's last quarter, so that there was
 considerable light to see by. I carried
 my pistol ready, but never had to use it..
 By freak of good fortune I passed through the entire band of Villa men without one of them catching sight of me. 'rThe next day I hid out and two days later Mexican friend brought me news of the deaths of Blankenburg and Bruce. "They had stayed together in my of flee, which faced the street, until about 8 in the morning. The thick adobe walls protected them Then Blankenburg decided that he would go to the hotel kept by Richard Heimple, another German. Taking his valise, IBlankenburg stepped into the street. Just at that moment a Villa bandit rode past. Without warning this ban dit struck Blankenburg over the head with his sword, splitting it half way to the neck. As Blankenburgg fell, the bandit shot him in the face.
 'All this occurred before the door of my room had been closed, so that the Villa bandit after striking. Blanken-
 burg, looked up and saw Bruce sitting | in my room. The bandit raised his rifle and fired. killing Bruce with two shots through the breast.
 "The Mexicans were afraid to bury either of the foreigners while Villas men remained in town. Meanwhile the lpigs in the street were threatening to mutilate Blankenburg's body beyond

 small portions of French trenches. on the east of LeMort Homme, the Ger man commanders rested their infantry here, but in the region of Douaumont- VauX, northeast of verdun, threw their men in large numbers. against the French trenches
 Here again they met with success but only for. short period of time, for the French in a counter attack drove the invaders from advanced secs tions of trenches they had captured and in the operations took about 100 German prisoners.
 While the Douaumont- vaux attack was in progress the Germans had not overlooked the line between LeMort Homme and Cumieres and covered the entire region with an intense artillery fire, probably preparing for another attack by infantry. a
 Along the remainder of the front in France and Belgium there were only artillery bombardments. In one Of these, north of the Aisne, the French
 guns caused serious losses to strong German column on the march. In the Russian theatre an attempt by the Germans to take the offensive in the region of the Ikskull bridgehead was stopped by the~Russians. fhe big lgnns of both sides have been busy at various points elsewhere along the front
