continued their hunt for Francisco

soldiers by these long ranged marks
men was not regarded here as an iu-
dication that the United States army's
march into Mexico MP TO date was
otherwise than q peaceful expedition
so far as majority OF the Mexican
people are concerned,
A few definite facts about the Amer
!can expedition Friday stood out With
considerable cIearness as the result
of official published reports and the
news brought here by Americans, who
have been in touch with some portion
Of the American movement. 1t seems
certain that OF the two columns, whiuh
are somewhere in Mexico, one was
constituted for speed while the otaar
apparently was moving more slowly.
The swift footed column was the
auxiliary army seemingly mostly cav
ariy which went into Mexico about
fifty miles west of the main army of
General Pershing when his foyres
crossed at Columbus, eI.iM.
The secrecy which has surrounded
the movements Of the main column has
been slight compared with the record
OF this western force. There Is rea-
con to believe that the western column
may have gone into Mexico earlier
than the main body. Every report ar
riving here asserts that the western
wing has travelled the farther. BY
these same reports the two columns
will form a junction near the threat
ened American Mormon colony in tlie
casas Grandes region.

THREE AMERICANS ABOARD
Small Number of Lives is Be-
IieVed to Be Lost in the
Sinking of the Ship.
,Hv ASSOCIATED sHEsE,

AMSTERDAM, March 1.-THE new
est and finest steamship sailing under
the Dutch flag. the Tubantia, OF the
Tlolland-Lloyd line. was sunk shortly
before dawn yesterday thirty miles of
The Dutch coast. Although 1t is not
positively established whether the
sinking was due to mine or tor
pedo there Is a singular unanimity on
the part of those who were on board
in attributing it 10 submarine act.
The crew bases it's belief In this re-
gard chiefly on the intense violence
Of the explosion and on the fact that
il occurred amidships.
The vessel was outward bound from
Amsterdam to South American ports,
carrying crew OF 294 and eighty
two passengers. the latter mostly neu-
trails, including three Americans. The
ship bore the usual Identification
marks of its neutral character includ-
ing an illuminated name and flag.
The disaster has created profound
sensation throughout Holland, where
The ship was a great popular favorite
owing to its size and luxurious ap-

fleet anger and indignation.
1t is now believed there was a
small number of lives lost in the sink
ing of the Tubantia, either in the ex-
pIosion or in an accident which at
tended the launching of a lifeboat.
According to all reports there was
no panic, everyone on board behaving
splendidly. The boats were launched
in their appointed order and the pas
sengers were all taken of first. The
rescue work was difficult, owing to the
darkness and the heavy sea. The boats
were several hours in finding the
Noordhinder lightship, which was two
miles away.
The captain and part of the crew,
remained on the gradually sinking ship
for sometime. the wireless apparatus
keeping up the work of guiding Dutch
vessels to the rescue. The captain
was on the vessel for two hours after
1t was struck and was the last to leave.
The rescuing vessels took the passen-
gers and crew to Flushing, Amsterdam
and the Hook.

Mr.. Griffin has Just returned from
India, where he has been for the last
Eve years, employed as a field inspec-
tor In the oil fields there.
The trip from India to this country
was very eYentful one and Mr..
Grimm relates many interesting and
amusing Incidents, relative to the
constant fear and watch for subma-
rines, mines and torpedoes. Remark
ing on this, Mr.. Griffin said that while
crossing the Mediterranean, 1t was q
common occurrence for nervous pas
sengers to ''aee" all manners of sub
marines and torpedoes. Their con-
stant warnings, generally. proving
only a white cap" or a piece Of
floating timber, were soon disregard
ed entirely.
On arrival in London, Mr.. Griffin
said the changed appearance Of that
city was noticeable. Especially so at
night, when the city was plunged into
darkness. even automobiles being re-
fused permission to use headlights.
He describes the damage done by
Zeppelin raids. and said the people
Of the city were in constant dread Of
their reoccurrence.
The trip from London to New York
was uneyentfu1. with the exception
Of short delay in It's scheduled de-
parture, causing many rumors which
were without foundation.
