FIGHT CONTINUES
AROUND vERDUN
GERMANS ARE THROWING THEIR
BEST FORCES INTO THE FIGHT,
REGARDLESS OF THE COST.
Vigorous Offensive Continued by
Crown Princes Troops Nets GAIN
of But Few Trenches-The
Situation in Russia.

London-The armies of the German
crown prince around Verdun are SUN
vigorously on the offensive against the
French
The Germans are throwing their
best forces into the fight regardless OF
the cost. By now they have brought
up something like thlrty-tnree olVlS-
ions 100000 mem.
Having delivered an attack along
the line from LIE Mort Homme to Gu
mieres which netted them few small
portions of French trenches on the
east of LIE Mort Hemnte, the German
commanders rested their infantry
here, but in the region of Douaumont-
Vaux. northeast of Verdun, threw their
men in large numbers against the
French trenches.
Here again they met with success
but only for a short period of time, Tor
the French in a counter-attack drove
the invaders from advanced sectlons
of the trenches they had captured, ana
in the operations took about 100 Ger
man prisoners.
While the Douaumort-VauX attack
was in progress the Germans had not
overlooked the line between LIE Mort
Homme and Cumieres, and covered the
entire region with an intense artillery
fire, probably preparing for another at
tack by infantry.
Along the remainder of the front IN
France and Belgium there were only
artillery bombardmentS. In one OF
these-north of the Aisne-the French
guns caused serious losses to strong
German column on the march.
Grenade fighting in the craters east
of st. Eloi has continued with vary
ing fortune.
In the Russian theatre an attempt by
the Germans to take the offensive in
the region of the Ikskull bridgehead
was stopped by the Russians. The big
guns of both sides have been busy at
various points elsewhere along the
front.

On Wednesday night, while General
Carranza's note was on its way to
Washington, troopers of the Seventh
cavalry under Major Tompkins were
fired upon in Parral, a villa strong
hold in western Chihuahua; were pur

during the night.
Complete information regarding the

Secretary Baker informed President
Wilson that brief dispatch to the
war department said that, according
to unofficial reports. one American
cavalryman was killed and that the
troopers used a machine gun against
the Mexicans
Mr.. Baker announced later that he
had ordered General Funston to take
any steps that might be necessary to
prevent further trouble. When asked
whether-this might mean the enforced
use OF Mexican railroads for the move

General Funston was on the ground

both sides.

Washington.-Pres Wilson and
the cabinet went over the submarine
crisis again on Friday and reaffirmed
their determination TO bring the situa-
ton with Germany to an issue.
The decision TO inform Germany
that recent accumulation of evidence
of ships destroyed in submarine war
fare leads To the inevitable conclu-
sion that her promises to the United
States are not being fulfilled remained
unchanged. The time Of dispatching
Il communication to Berlin appeared
to be the only point undecided.
In congress a report was widely
circulated that the forthcoming note

ance of diplomatic relations. There
was nothing to substantiate the story
anywhere in official quarters. Cabinet
officers did not deny 1t. upon the
ground that they all had been bound
In honor by the president not to
speak upon the subject in any way.
There were repeated indications
that the note would be a statement OF
the American case up to date, without
anything in the nature of an ultl
matum, and still would leave the way
open for Germany to avoid the long
feared break in diplomatic relations
II was plain, however, that 1t would

Having Been Dispersed.

Quaretaro, Mexico.-The de facto
government of Mexico on April II
sent note to Washington to be de-
livered to Secretary Lansing, demand
ing the withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico.
The note was sent to Eliseo Are
dondo, Carranzas representative in
Washington, with the following in
structions:
Deliver the following note to Sec
rotary Lansing, as ending negotiations
for a reciprocal passing of troops and
asking for disoccupation of the terri
tory occupied by American forces in
view OF Villas party having been de-
stroyed and Mexican forces having re-
lieved those in pursuit of the bandits
few days after the event at Column
bus"
The note declares that the Mexican
government in it's desire to conserve
cordial and Interchangeable good rela.
tons Of friendship which ought to
exist between Mexico and the United
States, did not hesitate to make
to the government of the United
States, under date of March 10, pro-
posal by means of which the forces of
one and the other country could re-
ciprocally cross the dividing line in
pursuit of bandits, II, unfortunately,
there should be repeated along the
border acts like those committed in
Columbus.
1t is charged, however, that a
crooked Interpretation was placed on
the note and that the Mexican govern
ment insisted in its note of March II
that the reciprocal passage of troops
would be permitted only, If unfortu-
nately, from this time forward there
should be repeated attacks like che
one registered at Columbus or of any
other kind whatever at any part of
the frontier line.
The declaration is made that as the
American expedition into Mexico has
fulfilled its object in so far as 1t will
be able to do SO. as the party headed
by Villa has already been dispersed.
and, finally, because there are Mexi.
can troops in sufficient number pur-
suing them, and more forces are be-
ing sent TO eNterminate the rest OF the
beaten party, the first chief of the con
stttutionalist army charged with the
executive power of the nation, consid-
ers that II is already time to treat
with the United States government
for the withdrawal of their forces
from our territory.
