men here were considerably disturbed
today by numerous warnings from con-
fldential sources that adherents Of
Francisco Villa were gathering in the
Chihuahua desert both north and south
Of Ascension and near the motor trail
leading from Columbus to Casas
Grandes, for the purpose Of attempt
ing to cut the line OF communication
of the American punitive expedition
in Mexico. An extra heavy guard Of
1nfantrymen was placed on truck
train which left here for the front to-
day. There were persistent reports tina.
the forces of Col. Dodd had captured
the bandit leader. but because Of the
difficulty in communication had been
unable to report. Late advices from the
camp Of Gen. j. ]. Pershing at the
front stated that the track Of vehi-

ing Villa in his fight. had been dis
covered.
Unofficial information here today had
1t that several score of Villas adher-
ents. who were captured or wounded
in the engagement at San Geronimo
ranch last Wednesday, were to arrive
here during the night. The four Amer

battle, 1t was said, suffered wounds
which were not serious enough to ne

GREAT ANXIETY
IS MANIFESTED
BY DUTCH PEOPLE
Conditions Have Arisen to Give
Cause for Very Special
Vigilance

The Hague, via London. April g.
The widespread anxiety which has
suddenly arisen respecting the ability
of Holland to keep long out Of the war
is not due to the feeling aroused by
the sinking Of the Dutch steamer Tu-
bantia, according to the Nieuwe Cou
rant.
Its cause" says the paper, lies in
the general war situation, which, &C
cording to information received, is
now entering or Is about to enter a
phase, which gives our country cause
for very special vigilance.
I'VE do not know whether what our
government apparently fears-but con
corning the character Of which we
could obtain no exact information
will come to pass within a week or a
month, CT whether the situation gen.
orally will remain merely one Of a more
critical chan acter for our country.
I'VE venture only the conjecture that
a change in the situation, which is now
considered possible, may be the out
come Of the Allies conference that
closed Wednesday at Paris.
I'VE understand that in yesterdays
Cabinet Council matters were discuss
ed which led to the consultation Of the
government with the highest military
authorities and consideration of the
advisability Of holding a secret session
of the second chamber"

Between the Somme and the Disc

in the region Of Barviller, Fouques-
court and Lassigny, where German
trenches were shattered by our fire.
West of the Meuse the Germans

assaults were repulsed by our barrier
fire and the fire Of our machine guns.
East of the Meuse the action was
very spirited throughout the day in the
region of Douaumont and Vaux. The
Germans, after a bombardment of ex-
IRENE violence with shells of heavy
calibre, directed four simultaneous at
tacks with electives of more than
one division on our positions between
Fort Douaumont and the village Of
Vaux. Southeast of Fort Douaumont,
they penetrated Caillette wood, but
our counter attacks, delivered immedi-

Expecting Most Important
Developments in the Case
Of German Pirate Schiller

New York, April 2.-Important ar
rests are expected within As hours, the
police announced today in connection
with the case of Clarence Reginald
man stowaway who captured the Brit
ish steamship Matoppo at sea and
son was arraigned today on a charge
of suspicion of conspiring" to dyna'
nonia, the district attorneys office re-
quested that his examination be de-
ferred until tomorrow, explaining that
important developments were expected
almost Immediately. To save himself
from deportation to England and the
possibility of being executed there as
a spy, Hudson has "confessed' to
planning explosions on many NUM-
tions boats bound for ports of the En-
tente Allies, the police say. He has
repeatedly asked detectives to assure
him he would be held in the United
States. When he was arraigned today
he was not accompanied by counsel
and made no request for bail.
Capt. Tunney and his bomb squad"
are endeavoring to verify the story
told by Hudson. A thorough search is
being made for the confederates who,
he alleged, deserted him on the eve of
the projected attack on the Pannonia.
1t was learned today that the police
after trailing Hudson for three weeks
lost track Of him a few days before he
slowed himself away in lifeboat
aboard the Matoppo. According to the
story told by Hudson his efforts to
cause the destruction Of steamers were
financed by a young woman living in
Salem, Mass, who is a German SYM
pathizer. He asserts he went to Salem
after escaping from a training camp
for the British army in England, where
he was employed in a textile mill at
the outbreak Of the war.
A New Suspect in Custody
Another suspected accomplice Of
Hudson was taken into custody in this
city tonight. He is Otto Milleder, %
years of age, a German machinist, who
said he lived in Hoboken. He was
found in a closet in the apartments
of Otto Goritz, the opera singer, where
he is supposed to have gone to call
upon a maid employed in the Goritz
household The singer is now on tour.
Detectives who went to the apartment
were admitted by the maid and located
Milleder after a search. He resisted
arrest but was soon subdued.
Captain Tunney said Milleder ad-
mitted having gone with Hudson to
look over three vessels Of the Anchor
and Cunard Line which were anchored
here. He said, according to the police,
that he told Hudson he would not help
in harming any French or Russian
steamers. His story Of his relations
with Hudson was substantially the
same as told by Haller. A charge OF
conspiracy was lodged against him.

BRANDE|S CASE
UnfavOrable Recommendations
by Two Members of
Sub Committee

Washington, April Ex-senator Cum
Minis made public tonight the unfa-
vorable report which he will submit to-
morrow to the Senate judiciary COM
mittee as a member of the sub-commit-
tee which investigated the fitness of
Louis d. BrandeiS for the supreme
bench. 1t is devoted entirely to a de-
nunciation of Mr. Brandeis' conduct as
counsel for the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the per cent. advance
rate cases. Insisting that Mr.. Brandeis
was expected Ito take the public side
of the question: Senator Cummins
declares that his action in admitting
in the closing argument that the net
revenues of the railroads were made
quate was an offense against common
morality and professional ethics. II
have endeavored in vain to conceive
an excuse for the course Mr.. Brandeis
pursued" says the report. If under the
circumstance of his proceeding the
most important from every point of
view which has taken place in a quar-
ter of century-a lawyer who ap-
pears with other council in behalf of
the public can after his assistants have
made their argument arise and in
open court admit that the carriers
were wholly right and the public
wholly wrong upon the immediate
question under consideration without
insuring that which follows betrayal,
then I confess l do not understand
either common morality among men
or the ethics of the profession to
which Mr.. Brandeis belongs"
Senator Cummins' report will be
one of five submitted. The three DEM
ccrats who vote in favor of confirming
the Brandeis nomination and Senator
Works, the second minority member,
all will report individually to the
whole committee.
