FiiUe American Soldiers
Killed; Stood Attack Off
With Machine Guns

Ell Paso, Texas, March g. Five
American soldiers were killed in the
battle at Columbus, n. NJ. with Mex
lean bandits, according TO a message
received early to-day at the general
offices of the El Paso and Southwest
ern Railroad in El Paso.
The pumper for the railroad at
Columbus was wounded and his wife
killed. the message stated.
The bandits attacked the town
shortly after midnight, according to
railroad officials, and set fire to many
buildings American soldiers fired
upon them and the battle followed.
Only fragmentary details came to
El Paso of the lighting.
Just before daylight long distance
telephone message to the FL Paso po-
lice said the bandits had attacked the
depot at Columbus and that United
States soldiers were beating them off
with machine guns.
Later telephone message came
from Conductor Lumley. of an extra
freight train on the lei Paso and
Southwestern railroad, who telephoned
TO the general superintendent that he
was six miles east of Columbus and
was afraid to take the train into the
town because of the fighting. He re-
ported that two soldiers had stopped
his Jrain with the declaration that
fighting was going on between Mexican
bandits and soldiers near Columbus.
The soldiers told him they were in
need of reinforcements
A. Danley, chief clerk, ordered the
conductor to cut the train in two and
proceed on the locomotive to Column
bus, or as near as he could without
endangering himself and crew, to, as
certain the facts. The train crew car
ried a telegrapher.
Lieutenant NJ. G. Shallenberger, aid
to General j. j. Pershing, received in
ormation that Mexican bandits during
the night had attacked the railroad
depot at Columbus, had burned the
depot and the coal chutes, and when
fired upon by American soldiers had
returned the fire. Lieutenant Shallen-
berger was inclined to doubt that the
American troops were in need of rein
forcemeEts and thought the two SOL
diers who talked to Conductor Lumley
were unduly excited. There is a full
regiment (the Twelfth Cavalry at
Columbus. under command of Colonel
Slocum. The regiment has four ma
chine guns.
Lieutenant Shallenberger said plenty
of troops were available at Fort Bliss
TO be sent if needed.

Massacre May Result
in Sending American
Troops Into Mexico

Washington, March 3. - Faced by
a new crisis in Mexican affairs by the
Columbus massacre, administration
officials admitted that President Will
son might find ii difficult to refrain
longer from actual interference.
What the administration leaders
who favor a watchful waiting course
fear is an outbreak in Congress with
its consequent effect upon the country.
The Senate particularly, which con-
tains many vigorous critics of the ad-
ministration's Mexican policy has just
settled down from the furry over the
CuSi massacre of several weeks ago.
At the White House the only word
given out was that steps would be
taken to punish the Villa bandits but
it was not indicated whether General
Carranza would be called upon to do
so, or whether American troops would
be sent over the line.
The State department is understood
to have begun the craft of a memoir
andum to General Carranza, based on
the report of General Funston.
