Carry All on Backs.

Columbus, n. NJ, March 15.-The
commanding officers of the expedition
airy force issued orders last night that
the men should take with them only
such equipment as they could carry
on their backs or saddles. Extra
clothing and the equipment known in
the army as the surplus kit will be
left behind.
These orders were intended to limit
carrying facilities to the essentials of
the expedition-food and drink for the
men and horses, and ammunition for
the guns.
Large quantities of ammunition for
the mountain howitzers and field guns
which had been assembled here, were
distributed yesterday.
Combat wagons" which carry am
munition for the soldiers rifles, were
loaded and the engineers, signal and
hospital corps were supplied with the
final details of their equipment.
The commander of the expedition
and his staff worked at high pressure
all day completing their arrangements.
Such of the soldiers who were not
unloading the transport trains, which
moved in and out of the railroad yards
hourly, thronged every eminence or
bit of high ground watching eagerly
for any sign of activity on the other
side of the international line. Many

Repulse All German Attacks.

London, March 10. - Extremely
heavy fighting has taken place north
west of Verdun and on the outskirts
of the Bois de Buttes, to the north of
the Aisne, with the Germans in both
regions the aggressors. Elsewhere
along the line artillery duels of great
proportions are under way.
In the sector between Bethincourt
and Cumieres, northwest of Verdun,
the intense artillery bombardment OF
the Germans was followed by an in
fantry attack, but over the entire
front of three miles it was repulsed
by the French with serious losses, eX-
cept between Bethincourt and lie
Morte Homme, where the Germans
gained a footing at two points in the
French trenches.
The Germans three times north OF
the Aisne threw their troops against
the French positions northwest of the
Bois des Buttes, but none of the at
tacks proved successful.
In the forest of Argonne the French
guns effectively shelled German pcs
tions. North and east of Verdun The
artillery duels continue. North Of
st. Mihiel in Lorraine, and in the Vos-
ges, the guns of both sides have been
active. A large number of fights in
the air have taken place around Ver-
dun. In these four German aircraft
have been brought down and French
aviators have again bombarded the
station of Brieulles behind the Ger
man lines north of Verdun.

The border awoke today to the con-
yiction that before another day the
United States troops would have gone
into Mexico at Columbus to capture
villa. The point chosen for entrance
is on the verge of a desolate plain, in
habited only by prairie dogs and coy
otes. For thirty miles the soldiers
must make their way across this des-
ert, then they reach the lowest range
of the Sierra Madre mountains. There
are no roads of any kind in that re-
gion. The expeditionary force must
carry all of its provisions and rely on
a base for its water supply.

PHILHARMONIC CLUB
COMING TO NORMAL HALL

The fourth annual tour of the Phil
harmonic Orchestral club includes
Mankato in it's itinerary. This organ
ization is composed of members of
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra.
There are fourteen players in the club
and the Instrumentation is such as to
afford perfect ensemble for the rem
dition of all the important work of
great composers. Each member of
the organization is soloist and an
artist.
A delightful feature of the evenings
program will be the soprano solos by
Miss Martha Cook, a charming and
gifted singer, whose reputation is al
ready established in the northwest.
The orchestra is under the able d.
rection of Karl Scheurer, whose po-
sition in the musical world is attest
ed by the fact that he was for many
seasons second concert master of the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra.
The music produced by this organi-
cation is of the very highest order of
merit, yet it is not so severely CLASH
cal as to be beyond the appreciation
of the average audience.
The Philharmonic Orchestral club
will appear at normal hall, October
II, and is the first concert of the
Normal School Entertainment Course.
