NATIONAL GUARDS TO
Be ORDERED TO BORDER
Texas, Arizona and New Mex
leo to Assist In Guarding
the Line

San Antonia, Texas, Mar. 16.-Na-
tional guards of Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico will soon be ordered to the
border by the war department, it was
reliably stated at Fort Sam Houston
today
The militia may be used to protect
border communities like Brownsville,
Laredo, Preside, Douglas, Tucson and
Bisbee. 1t was said the call might
come before the end of the week. Mu-
nicipal officials in Arizona and New
Mexico were sending frantic appeals to
Funston for additional protection, fear
ing uprisings of local Mexicans. Gen
eral Funston pointed out that the state
governors must request federal assist
ance before it could be given. Funston
regards the border situation as most
acute.
Opposite Douglas the situation is re-
garded as serious. Governor Gales men
are reported aggressively anti-Amer-
lean. The Preside opposite Douglas
where the garrison mutined ana killed
Colonel Roias is considered a danger
spot. At Matamoras the constitution
alist commander is apparently friendly.
Whether there will be clashes be-
tween Americans and Carranzistas de-
pends on the degree of control Car
rama commanders are able to exert
over their men, For additional pro
lection against sporadic attacks Off
als here said the war department would
shortly advise call out the militia of
three affected states.

New York, Mar. 16.-The New York
Suns financial review today said:
Heavy realizing sales were again in
evidence on the market. They impart-
ed some irregularity to the general list,
but concentrated buying continued in
special issues. Some improved extern
sively. The undertone in industrials
was strong, NJ
Railways were largely neglected
throughout the early trading, and their
general tendency was heavy. Canadian
Pacific was very weak. The latter con-
dition was associated with the domin-
ion governments S contemplated Ameri-
can loan of $75000,000 and equal cred
it with Canada S chartered banks.
Trading centered largely on war
stocks and specialties was mostly pro-
fessional First prices were uniformly
higher, and business was conducted up
on a scale of large activity When
speculative interest Jagged in one issue
or profit taking became too heavy for
further improvement, another was TAX
en- in hand, Thus Crucible Steel, Amer
lean Can and Baldwin Locomotive in
turn held the center of the stage. Uni
ted States Steel started at good frac-
tiOnal advance and was actively dealt
in, but was overshadowed everywhere
Speculative conditions were unchang-
ed in the later trading. Interest was
confined to industrials.

ADMIRAL Won TIRPITZ
QUITS GERMAN NAVY
Resignation Follows Dis
agreement with Chancellor
Won Bethmann-HOIlWeg

The Hague, Mar. 16-Resignation of
Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz of the Ger
man navy means an end to the attempt
to force ruthless submarine attacks on
non-belligerent vessels, according to re-
liable advices today.
1t caused rejoicing among Berlin citi-
zens who were anxious to preserve good
relations with the United States. The
resignation was considered q personal
triumph for Imperial Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H HOllweg, who is a strong ad-
vocate of Cancellation with America.
Berlin advices said a further change
in the ministry of marine was not ex-
pected. The resignation came on the
eve of the opening of a reichstag ses-
sion at which Won Tirpitz supporters
planned war on Honweg's S program.
Hollweg, returning from a conference
with the kaiser at Nerdun, declared
the ruler supported him. Won Tirpitz
then resigned, and Admiral Won Capel-
lie, director of the admiralty's admin,
istration department was appointed his
temporary successor. The appointment
will probably be MAGE permanent, it is
believed.
Overwork and anxiety aggravated by
the failure of his submarine plans
brought the aged Won Tirpitz to the
verge Of a complete breakdown. The
kaiser accepted his resignation with re-
gret, after vainly frying to win him
over to the Hollweg program. Won Tir-
pitz will be decorated with .honors and
retired on a pension.

Chief Obstacle
Removed When German
Admiral Won Tirpitz Quit

Washington, March 16.-The resig-
nation of Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz
as head of the German navy has re-
moved the chief obstacle to an adjust
ment of German n-American relations, in
the opinion of well informed men to-
day.
This is a triumph not only for
Chancellor Won Hollweg, but for
American diplomacy. The firm stand
of the American administration in the
armed merchant controversy is be-
lieved to have figured in the reasons
behind the resignation of the chief ex-
pOnent of the so.ealled frightfulness'
advocated by many German leaders.
The resignation is accepted as an
indication that Germany will back
down in the armed merchantmen con-
troversy and that no American lives
will be Intentionally imperiled by
German submarines.
This result corroborates the ex-
elusive story sent from Berlin by Carl
w. Alderman, United Press staff cor
respondent, on February % declaring
that no passenger liner, armed or un-
armed, would be attacked by German
submarines despite the decree

London, Mar 16.-Murderous French
fire from Dead Mans hill cut to pieces
two German regiments attempting to
encircle Bethincourt and halted the
Teuton offensive west of the Meusc,
Paris dispatches claimed today. Caught
in the open, the kaiser's men lost more
than 1000 in few hours fighting. A
French bayonet charge hurled the sur
vivors back to their trenches.
Latest advices reported a lull in in.
fantry operations around Bethincourt,
but French troops were on the aggres-
sive in a series of hot slSirmishes at
Fort Vaux and the village of Vaux.
The German assault west of the
Meuse was evidently planned with
great care. First came a bombardment
of the narrow sector between Bethiu.
court and Dead Mans hill. Then the
Teuton bueDers sol bddd ,"chargcN >
and horde of gray clad men swept up
the northern slopes of Goose Hill A
terrific machine gun fire staggered the
line. Tt hesitated and broke up into in
dividual units fleeing back to their
shelters.
Following this Germans charged
along three different routes between
Bethincourt and Dead Man g hill, run
ming through lanes prepared by the
bOmbardment. Less than 100 yards sep.
arated the successive German waves
which rushed upon the French defenses.
Two of the columns were blown to
bits by French artillery. In spite of
great gaps blasted in their ranks nv
shells, the third column kept going and
Paris admitted it gained ground.
''In only one section was the enemy
successful. " said the French announce
ment. "This was in the center where
by a series of sledge hammer blows in
which they lost heavily, the Germans
won two salients, total of about 200
yards. Next dawn our counter attacks

DUTCH LINER TUBANTTA
TORPEDOED AND SUNK,
NO WARNING IS GIVEN

Amsterdam, Mar lG--Three hours
after a terrible explosion amidship the
Royal Dutch Lloyd liner Tubantia sanl,
in the North sea, it was reported here
today.
She carried 81 passengers and a crew
Of 300. All were said to have been
saved.
Though the Tubantia s captain said
she might have been torpedoed, reports
at the company offices said she hit a
mine.
The Tubantia was nit at midnight, l2
hours after sailing. A huge hole was
ripped in its stern. Wireless messages
calling for help Immediately flashed
over the sea.
Passengers and crew abandoned the
stricken liner at once, tumbling into
lifeboats while still half asleep. Some
we're terrified by the explosion, the
darkness and horror Of the moment, but
no panic was reported.
Several Dutch torpedo boats and life
saving craft appeared on the scene at
daybreak, picking up shiyering life
boat cargOes.
Only the fact that the explosion oc-
cured while the Tubantia was near
land prevented heavy casualties, it is
believed.
Two of the Tublntia 5 heavily la

pany's advices said all hands were saw

report explicitly stated that the atti
tude of Carranzista troops was all that
could be asked.
Constitutionalist soldiers were de-
tailed to work beside Americans in the
dangerous scouting ahead of the main
body. Funston authorized Pershing ia
employ Mexicans for that duty. If
Villa counted on defections from Car
rama S ranks he lost again.
That American soldiers are still the
best rifle shots in the world was the be-
lief Funston expressed after receiving
his first detailed report of fighting al
Columbus. Sixty-seven Mexicans were
killed on the American side.
" When you consider that the attack
was a surprise, delivered in the darkest
hour of night just before dawn and thai
our men were aroused from their sleeI
by the assault, the result is remark
able, said Funston. ''I estimate the
total number of Mexicns killed on

ers stood off 500 Villistas. 1t was

Washington, Mar. 16.-The greatest
manhunt in history is on.
Vanguards of the American expedi-
tion against Francisco Villa are already
well inside Mexico today, but officials
expected few results to be reported in
the very meagre news early available.
The Americans are somewhere south OF
Columbus. Little else concerning them
is known.
A race between American and Mex
lean troops to see which would capture
Villa seemed possible. Clsas Grandes
promised to be the battle ground. The
most authentic reports located Villa in
that region.
The strength Of the expedition is still
in doubt. General John j. Pershing is
believed to have led about 1000 men
across the line, Fifteen hundred more
probably started last night or will
march today from Culberson 8 ranch.
The two forces are expected to Join
near La Ascencion probably tomorrow.
Then they will head through Corralitos
toward Casas Grandes.
A brigade at III Pas0 awaited the sig
nal to march, When they are to leave
has not been disclosed. II is thought
their departure mlye be considerably
delayed. III Paso, Juarez and vicinity
are believed noneycombed with illista
sympathizers. Prevention of a Mexi-
can uprising in III Paso must be given
consideration by the American cont
manders.

GREATEST DANGER OF

IGNORANCE OF PEOMS

lmanding a third column said to be
crossing the border south of Hachita
Pershing accompanied the soldiers from
Columbus to the border, and was then
rumored to have gone back and started
for Hachita. All movements of troops
and comm lnders were hidden, however,
by the strongest censorship in Ameri-
ca s history.
Despite stories of threatened rebel
lions, General Gavira, constitutionalist
eommandant at Juarez, announced that
all CarranZistas from Casas Grandes
and the Galeana districts nad been Or
dered to cooperate with the American
expedition. Gavira stated the services
of defacto government soldiers hal
been utilized by the Americans who
were using them for scouts and guides.
Gavira issued an official notice to
Carranzistas that the Americans were
not hostile to the de facto government,
and that they were merely trying to
round up all Yillistas.
II was reliably learned that the first
destination of the American expedition
is Clsas Grandes. Army men said it
would be several days before they
reached that district. Villa was last

Washington, Mar. 16-President Will
son hopes that General Carranza will
capture Francisco Villa
The administration today made no
effort to conceal the satisfaction it
would give to have Carranza bag Villa
before the Americans can reacn him.
Villa s raid on Columbus nearly shat
tered the administration s confidence
in Carranza. Reports that American
troops entered Mexico with the consent
and cooperation Of de facto govern
ment soldiers did much to convince the
White House that Carranza controls the
situation.
The greatest danger is from poems
who cannot be reached through ordin-
ary channeles and who will not see the
official statement that the American
expedition is not an "invlsion.
White House feeling today was that
the present crisis will determine Car

prominent government official said:
With a week s start, Carranza ougat
to land Villa before we reach him.
