that the United States accepts Ger

of ITS former submarine policy and
now relies upon a scrupulous execu'

the principal danger of an Interrupt

tween the two countries.
With this acceptance is coupled for
nal notice to Germany that the Unit

tertain, much less discuss, a sugges-
tion that respect by German naval au-
thorities for the rights of citizens Of
the United States on the high seas

YILLISTAS MAKE THREE
RAIDS OVER BORDER
BOQUILlAS ALSO RAlDED, PROB
ABLY BY SAME BAND-MER.
CHANT CARRIED OFF.

Marathon, Texas.-The Columbus
raid was repeated by former Carran-
zista soldiers at Glen Springs, So
miles south of Marathon, Texas, and
Iv miles north of the border. Three
members of Troop A, Fourteenth cav
airy, and one civilian boy are known
to have been killed. Three members
of Troop A, which constituted the re-
mainder of the cavalry detachment,
were wounded
A number of American civilians are
said to be missing from the district.
Practically the same band of Mexi'
cans appeared at the store of j.
Deemer, which is the source of sup
plies for a small mining settlement 20
miles to the north. The store was
looted. Deemer and his clerk, l.. Nc
Coy, were made prisoners and carried
back towards the border. They are
both reported to have been killed,
The raiders appeared again at Bo-
quillas, on the American side of the
border, Is miles north Of the Mexican
town of BoQuillas del Carmen. The
seven employees of the International
Mines Company sought refuge in the
mine tunnels and were defending
themselves against great odds when
last heard from.
The first report of the raids reach
ed Maj.-Gen. Funston at FL Paso
through the representatives of the In
ternational Mines Company. An eff
fort to get details was Immediately
started and later a complete report
was received from John P, Denny,
manager of the mines company.
This stated that the three dead sol.
diers and the one dead civilian boy
had been brought to Marathon on a
motor truck by two of the troopers
who had been mortally wounded
themselves The soldiers killed were
Privates Cohen, Coloe and Rodgers.
Within an hour after the receipt Of
the report from Denny, Gen. Funston,
witn the approval of Gen, Hugh l.,
Scott, issued order for a new eXpedi-
tion to start from El Paso. The train
got away at 6 p. m. 1t carried Troops
A and B of the Eighth Cavalry COM
manded by Maj George T. Langhorne,
Capt. George w. Kirkpatrick and
Capt. James c. Rhea.
Gen. Funston has issued orders that
the Mexicans responsible for the rad
must be captured or killed, No Off.
cial statement has been given out, but
It is known Col Sibley's orders do not
contemplate that he end the pursuit
when the border is reached.
The circumstances Of this raid have
already nulihed any possible effect
the tentative agreement made be-
tween Gen. Hugh L. Scott and MeXi-
can Minister Of War Obregon could
have on the situation.
