 Around Haucourt the Germans launched violent attack against tho French. previously having prepa .cG the way by heavy bombardinent lasting several hours.

On the remainder of the front in France and Belgium artillery engagements alone have been in progress.
 On the eastern front there has been a continuation of the lively artillery engagements in the lake region south of Dvinsk, especially about Lake Mar ocoz. where the Russians succeeded in occupying- portions of the German trenches.

BOX SIDES ARE USED ! AS WRITING MATERIAL
Cardboard Sides of 'Hardtack' Boxes Serve as Writing Pa per for American Expediti- tionary Soldiers.
(By Review Leased Wire.

COLUMBUS, N M. April 7.-Card- board sides of "hardtack" cartons are being used by advanced detacbments Of American troops in Mexico for let ter writing purposes. Three bags of nail, all written on bits of the boxes, arrived at the army base here today. Some of the soldiers contented them selves with fashioning post cards, while others eXtemporized envelopes by folding a second bit of the card board over the communication. This was taken by officers here to substan- ,iate reports that the troops are close on the trail of Villa making all possi- ble speed, not even waiting for sup plies.
 A number of long messages were re- ceived from General Pershing today for transmission to General Funston at San Antonio but none was made public here. It was learned. however that General Pershing reported that the wounds suffered by four troopers in the Guerrero engagement were so trivial they were not considered worth reporting that all of the men are in the saddle.
 Only the usual unofficial reports found their way across the border to- day, these in the main indicating that the An erican cavalry. assisted by de lachments of mounted infantry. are hunting for Villa somewhere in the vicinity of Rosario. about sixty miles south of Chihuahua.
 Orders for the detachment of Apache Indian scouts from the White Noun :ain reservation of Arizona 10 proceed 10 the front at once, were counter handed by General Pershing today and the Indians are being held here for further orders. No explanation could be obtained at military head quarters.

Her eldest son, George, aged eighteen, es- capped death by fleeing from the home, climbing over a garden wall and run ming, coatless, hatless and without shoes to adjacent mountains where he lay hidden for three days without food. unseen by friends till Carranza troops had arrived.
 First a squad of Villa soldiers and later Villa himself came into the Reed home. footing and wrecking it. Villa cursed Mrs. Reed, she says. charging that her husband and son had large store of food, arms and ammunition hidden in the house. This she denied. Then. as villa insisted. she invited him to search the premis- es. Several soldiers were set to work with picks and shoyels. digging il tho garden and tearing up floors. Finding nothing Villa sent several of his men after kerosene and superintended the operation of spreading this through the house when the Carranza soldiers arrived The Villistas broke before their %tack. it being necessary for the Cakranza troops to fire few shots driving them out. Villa had 230 men, fifteen of whom were wounded Mrs. Reed says she saw several American cavalry horses among those ridden by Villas men, presumably being some of those stolen during the raid or Columbus.
