 Her right shoulder was broken and she was returned to the same hospital she had left few hours before. Miss Reimer could give no motive for the attack she described.
 Convinced that the fire was Of in- cendiary origin, the police held three men and one woman at headquarters and placed guard at the bedside of the Reimer girl.
 Nearly all of the five were involved in a white slave investigation a few days ago, following which one woman was sent to prison. In this case the Reimer girl was the alleged victim.

The Mexican people will be glad to see us intervene. fteen million of them, who have been oppressed by the bandit organi- cations, would be freed. It is not the idea of whipping Mexico that we must have, but we must go in with the notion of securing out the bandits"
 The information that Carranza has refused to permit the acceptance of supplies by the Mexicasn railway 5 regular freight is only part of the report made to Washington by Sena- tor Fall
 He was also tCld that General Gavra. the Carranza commander at Juarez, has threatened to execute the men in charge of the telegraph lines they accept communications to or from the troop camps and the border The conflicting reports as to the whereabouts of Francisco Villa, whose l capture is the object of the expedition iS also the subject of growing dis trust among the army officers.

Great Battle Believed to Be

ALLIES PROPOSE
 GREAT OFFENSIVE
British Assaults Thought to Herald Aggressive Tactics by Allies in All Theatres of War, Decided Upon at
 Paris Conference.

London, March 2S.-The Germans today renewed their drive on the Yer dun-Pars railway, while the British at St. Eloi, south of Ypres, extended their attacks, and a great battle is be- !ieved to be developing in that sector.
 West of the Meuse,''3 says the mid night statement from Paris, "the hom- bardment of/ our positions reaching from Avocourt to Beth1ncourt was re- sumed with violence during the day.
 About o'clock in the afternoon, the Germans launched a powerful at tack on our Haucourt Malancourt front The massive waves of assault were al lswept back with heavy losses inflicted by our barriers and counter fires"
 The German attacks on Maucourt- Malancourt were attempted after a hombardment of varying violence, which lasted three days.
 French accounts of the repulse of the crown princes latest move indi- cate that the Germans suffered very heavy losses. Despite this. general resumption of the offensive on the whole front north of Verdun is ex- pected. $f
 Grown Princes Hand Forced.
 The hand of the crown prince has been forced, it is believed: by the de- velopment of a strong counter move ment on the British front
 The official statement received to- day from Berlin admits that the St. Eloi battle has extended to the adjac- cnt line, and that a general action of some proportion is being fought.
 South of St. Eloi," is says. "there were lively actions at close range around the craters sprung by the British. The action has extended to adjacent lines."
 It is believed in military circles that the British attacks south of Ypres are the first fruits of the allies confer ence in Paris, which is believed to have decided upon an immediate and simultaneous offensive of all the al- lies onall fronts.
