yesterda, ,lent attack against the
French lIn- east of the Meuse, it
was officially announced today.
In last nights fighting, the Germans
were partially thrown back from a

The Germans attacked with the
greatest violence on ragged front,
extending from the Meuse in south

prepared the way for the assault by
drum fire that opened at midnight
and continued without cessation for
twelve hours.

Time and again the grey clad Iegions
piled up against the French works in
fruitless charges. The ravIne and it's
Wooded slopes were swept by a

was choked with bodies.
Repulsed in this attack the Ger
mans extended the fighting on both
fIanks. One division, advancing from
Taiou heights, moved southwark
along the west bank Of the Meuse,
but came under heavy fire that
forced an immediate retreat.
The hea West blow was struck on
the eastern wing. Gathering up two
divisions, the German commanders
hurled them against the French lines
in Chauffeur and Ablain woods, drIv-
ing southwark In an attempt to reach
the Douaumont-Bras road.
The first German attacks were
beaten back before the enemy reach

assault delivered by still heavier
forces, carried the enemy Into the

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
MEXICO, April 16 (via wireless to
Columbus. N. NJ, April 1S.)-General
Pershig arrived today at his field
Headquarters near Namiquipa after an
all night ride from Satevo for a con-
ference with members of his staff.
Men in Pershing's command
brought details of the Parral fight of
April 12 which placed the matter in
the light of deliberate attack by
Carranzista soldiers, even possibly of
an attempt to annihilate the little
force of ia cavalrymen under Major
Tompkins.
After one Of his men had been
killed, Tompkins made up his mind
that if his command was going to be
slaughtered, they would die fighting.
He "cut loose" as one Of Pershing..s
men said. and ,he Mexicans soon re-
treated, leaving over forty dead on
the field.
Tompkins held his men in restraint
until he noticed on an adjacent hili
in Parral body Of soldiers over
whom the Mexican flag was flying.

Carranza's Army Cannot be Trusted Any More
Than Can the Treacherous Natives
or Bandits.
|NLLAs BODY NOT YET PRODUCED
While Delay May be Due to Natural Causes,
Skepticism Grows at Slowness of
Mexican Officials.

By f. T. Conkle, United Press Staff
Correspondent
FIJI, PASO, Texas, April 1S.-The
lila hunt is now secondary mat
n Protection of the United States
toops in Mexico is the main thing.
General Pershing Is understood to-
ay to have made the above report to
eneral Funston.
The question whether the body pre-
umably being taken into Chihuahua
kity is that of Villa, was still consid-
red important, but the safety OF the
american expedition, following the
parral incident and the withdrawal re-
nest from General Carranza was up
ermost in the minds of army chiefs
long the border.
General Pershing has left his ad-
anced base at Satevo and returned to
is Namiquipa staff headquarters. AT
camiquipa, about midway along the
Ines OF communications, he can keep
closer watch on the situation and
etter direct his army. No American
roops are now believed to be south
4 Santa Cruz.
If villa is not dead, but has es-
aped into Durango, as formerly re-
borted, the American pursuit has ap-
barently been halted. If the body re-
ported exhumed west of Satevo is not
Villas. neither the United States or
he Mexican authorities have any ade-
luate idea of the bandit chiefs where
bbouts, they admitted today.
Mexican officials, the only authori.
ties protesting to have direct knowI.
edge of the finding of Villas body near
San Francisco Borja, claim wires
which went down last night, prevented
receipt of further information early
Today While the failure of the Mexi-
leans rapidly to produce the body for
Identification by Americans, has in
creased skepticism, the delay may be
means of transportation. 1t was also
pointed out that the Carranza officials
may be honest and yet themselves the
victims of hoax or msapprehension.
In connection with precautionary
measures to insure the safety Of the
United States expeditionary forces,
army men pointed out that interven.
tlonists, anxious to prevent withdraw
al. have circulated exaggerated and
alarming reports of destruction OF
American property in northern Mexi,

Renewal Of the Chase.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 1S.-
With the American advance detach-
nents scurrying back to Satevo, the
reported finding of Villa and the fight
ing at Parral were practically for
gotten incidents of the hunt today.
Renewal of the chase under new
plan and diminished risk for the
americans, were believed to be the
objects of headquarters during the
temporary lull. General Funston made
plain that the American forces
cannot push any farther than Satevo
With the present line of communica-
lions. This was interpretered at head
quarters to mean that Funston puts
1t up to the state department to OBJ
tain use of the Mexican railways. The
alternative, If the chase is to go
deeper into Mexico, is change OF
