Town Held By The
Italians.

London, April 5.-An attempt by
the Germans to press farther south
against the French in the region of
Douaumont, northeast of Verdun, has
met with repulse and considerable
losses. In the same sector, north OF
the Caillette wood, the French have
continued their progress in driving
back the Ieutons.
The German attack south of Douau-
mont was launched against the French
first lines Of defense, but the French
raked the advancing Teutons with
their curtain Of fire, machine. guns.
and infantry fire, forcing them to re-
treat in disorder northwest toward:
the Chauffeur wood.
An attack by the Germans Oh the,
town Of Haucourt, northwest of Yer
dun, also failed, as likewise did an
attempt to reach the French trenches
near SeppOiS, in VosgeS mountains.
Elsewhere along the Western front
there have only been reciprocal bonn
bardments and some mining activity
on the line held by the British.
On the Russian front, artillery ac-
tivlty of the Russian in the lake re-
gion southeast of Dvinsk has in
creased but in general no important
changes in the positions of the Rus
slams and Germans have taken place.
The Austrians have occupied the
border ridge near Lobbia Alta and
Monte Fumo, which was held by the
Italians. Artillery duels are still in
progress on the Doberdo sector and
the Col di Lana and in the Guidi-
carian Alps.

Caught Mapping By zoo
Americans and 80 are
Killed.
VILLA WAS NOT WITH THE BAND
No Mention Made Of Ameri-
can Casualties---Rout was
Complete.

San Geronimo, Chihuahua, April
Ava aeroplane to Colonia Dublan,
and by wireless to Columbus, N. NJ
Two hundred American cavalry
men, under Col. w. C. Brown, Tenth
cavalry, defeated an equal force OF
Villa followers in the second engage
ment Of the campaign at Aguasca-
lientes, thirty miles north of Guer-
zero, oil April /.
This report was brought to Gen.
Pershing today by two Mexican
ranchmen, who said that the Mexican
forces lost thirty men and forty
horses, while the Americans suffered
no casualties.
Villa was not with the band, ac-
cording to the ranchmen, who assert
ed that the American troops believed
at first they had encountered the BAN
dit chieftain.
Only the most meager details of the
ensuing engagement were brought by
the ranchmen, but in many respects
it resembled that of a week ago at
Guerrero. Immediately the bandits
realized the presence Of the American
troops, they began a hurried disor-
ganized flight from their camp, some
Selling their ponies and others trying
to make their escape afoot. The ranch
men told Gen. Pershing that the Villa
followers fled in scattered bands of
three to FIVE men before the negro
cavairymen.
Reports reaching here indicated
that the band encountered by the
American cavalrymen was the larg-
est detachment of the force defeated
and scattered at Guerrero a week ago
today by Col. Dodd's command.
These troops were said to have been
in the vicinity OF Bachlnba Pass for
several days.
Two American scouts reported to
Gen. Pershing they had been fired on
by Villa outposts last Friday within
the environs of Bachiniba, and that
they had returned the fire. Two
troops Of cavalry, sent to the town to
intercept the bandits, reached there
after the command had fled,
According to versions of the Mess-
cans who arrived at Maj. E%tns'
headquarters. Col. Brown ssprised
wandering bandits while tltey were
lying about the village. many asleep,
and all of their horses grazing, when
the cavalry rused upor them. Other
than the number reported killed and
the fact that the American forces cap
tured number of horses, Maj. Ev-
ans informants were without details
OF the encounter.
