I2,OOO Troops
 Along the Border
WITH FORTY MOUNTAIN AND
 FIELD GUN BATTERIES
LINE 200 MILES LONG
Belief Prevailed That the Movement
 Would Begin Thursday-Brigadier
 General Pershing to Lead the Force.

Columbus, N. M., March 1s.-Ap- proximately 12,O0O troops with forty mountain and field gun batteries were on the border tongiht between Doug las, Arizona and Fl Paso, a line about 200 miles long. little more than one-third of this force was cavalry.
 Columbus Military Establishment.
 From camp of few hundred men, Columbus today grew to a military es- tablishment of nearly 1000 with in dicatiOns that about 4,0O0 men are to be concentrated here immediately. Further evidence that this point may be the starting place of the largest column in immediate pursuit of Villa appeared in the erection of headquart- CTS for Brigadier General John J. Per Shlng, who, Major General Funston announced today, will be the leader of the eXpeditionary force.
 Plans Talked Of.
 Officers here talked of a march straight southward in pursuit of Vil- Ia. Troop movements seemed to bear out reports that while the Columbus column is striking south another movement will be made from the vi- cinity of Fl Paso and a third from the Arizona line somewhere near Douglas. Both the F,l Paso and Doug las movements would be able to fol- low rail lines, while the central col umn from here would have to go yer land across a desert.
 Belief here tonight was that the Co., lumbus column would be ready to start by Thursday or Friday Intelli gence department officers secured maps and topography charts of the mountainous Chihuahua-SOnora bor- der into which it seems possible for Villa to enter easily with his present start

BLUNT CRITICISM OF
 PREPAREDNESS PLANS
By Allan L. Benson Before the House
 Naval Committee.

Washington, March 13.-AlIan L. Benson of Yonkers, v. Y, socialist candidate for the presidential nomina- = ton, criticized President Wilson's ad- vocacy of preparedness in such blunt terms before the house naval commit tee today that Chairman Padgett ex- punged the remarks from the record. He was permitted to continue his ar Sument against war preparations after being warned that the committed would not tolerate further improper references to the president.
 MT. Benson angrily protested against the chairmans attitude, saying he would withdraw if he was before "a Russian ceWnmittee."
 Representative Roberts of Massachu- setts, republican, urged that the wit ness be allowed to make his statement without interference, but the chairman sustained objections by Representa- tives Oliver of, Alabama and Talbott of Maryland, democrats, who had inter- posed when Mir. Benson declared f1atly that the president had said what he knew to be untrue when he asserted in his Cleveland speech that the coun- try should prepare for defense at once and that nobody knew what the next day might bring forth.

Washington. March 1s.-The United States government today entered into formal agreement with the de facto government of Mexico under which American troops will cross the border to hunt down Villa and his bandits with the expectation of hearty CO., operation from the Carranza forces.
 Secretary Lansing made public the text of a note accepting General Car engagement between the two govern ments and announcing that the United States held this arrangement to be now in force and binding upon both par ties.
 Gen. Funston Will Carry Out Task.
 General Funston will carry out his task under this agreement. Official an- nouncement was awaited tonight that the American force had crossed the border. Plans for the troop movement have gone ahead without regard to the diplomatic exchanges.
 Mir. Lansing also made public a statement in the name of President Wilson, reiterating that every step be- ing taken by the administration was based on the deliberate intention to preclude the possibility of armed in- terventiOn in Mexico. The statement follows:
 No Possibility of Intervention.
 Tn order to remove any misappre- | hension that may exist, either in the United States or in Mexico, the presi- l dent has authorized me to give in his name the public assurance that the military operations now in contempla- tion by this government will be scrup- ulously confined to the object already

AMERICAN EMPHASIZES
 IN TEST COMMANDMENTS.
The New York and Arkansas Hurled
 Shells All Day Long.

Mobile, Ala, March 13.-An experi- ment unique in the country's military history was begun here today when two American battleships, the New York and the Arkansas. bombarded armor test Notifications near Fort Morgan. All day long the two su- per-dreadnoughts hurled big projec- tiles from their main batteries into the Notifications with high officials of the war and navy departments looking on. The result of the test, which ultimately Is expected to have an important bearing on future Notifications legis- lation, were not announced.
 General William Crozier, chief of odr nance of the army, General William L. Black chief of engineers and Repre- sentative Shirley chairman of the house sub committee on Notifications. were among the officials who watched the operations. Merchant craft had been warned out of the danger zone and the Mobile quarantine station was abandoned during the firing.
 It was explained at Fort Morgan that the bombardment arranged by the bureau of Notifications was being car ried out throuh cooperation of the war and navy departments, with a view for target practice as well as for armor testing. It was understood the firing would continue tomorrow at varied ranges.

 In the region of Seppois, Upper AL sace, the Germans essayed an attack on trenches the French had captured, but were repulsed with considerable casualties.

On the contrary. what is now being done is deliberately intended to preclude the possibility of intervention"
 Brief, Concise Agreement.
 The note to Carranza defines the terms of the agreement beyond the possibility of misconstruction. In brief 1t provides that where conditions arise on the American side of the border similar to those at Columbus, which led to the orders to General Funston to enter Mexico. the same privilege will be accorded to the Mexican de facto government without the neces- sity of a further exchange of views. It is clearly stated, however, that the soil by Mexican troops must have come from the American side, committed depredations on the Mexican side and fled back again to United States terri tory. There is no such instance en record fin recent years

SECURITIES VALUED AT
 s2,ooo,ooo IN PRIZE COURT.
Seized by British From Mails in Transit-German Ownership Sus- pected.

London, March 13, $50 p. m.-Se- curities valued at e2,OO0. 900 suspect ed as being of German ownership, seized from mails in transit. are now in possession of the prize court, ac- cording to an announcement today by the foreign office. Securities have not yet been declared absolute con- traband but it is possible they will soon be placed on the contraband list. Meanwhile seizures will be continued on the ground that under orders in council these securities establish credit for hostil belhgerents and there fore can be legally held up.
 The authorities here declare that innocent ownership can be easily proved by reference to the banks which hold any of the derameo se- curities and that therefore nothing in the nature of a hardship beyond a slight delay is liable to be suffered by innocent owners.

Switching their activity from the east to the northwest of Verdun, the Germans again are hammering at the salient of Le Mort Homme and the region of the Bois Bourrus, in an en- deavor to bring their line farther south on the western flank of the fortress.
 East of the Mouse and in the Woevre district there has been a mo- ticeable letup in the batteries on both sides. The infantry everywhere on the Verdun front has been inactive.
 In line with the bombardment of Le Mort Homme and the Bois Bour- rus the Germans are assembling men in the region between F'orges and Bois des Corbeaux, probably with the in tention of throwing them into the fray, should the intense bombardment meet with success. The French ar ti1ierists, however, have had this as- sembling point under the fire of their guns. No advantage is claimed by- either side in the last fighting around the fortress.

Alleged Immoral
 Acts in Sing Sing
PROSECUTION TRYING TO PROVE WITH ossoRNE's KNOWLEDGE
THE OLD STORY RETOLD
James Harvey, a Prison Inmate, on Whose Story Previous Inquiries
 Were Held Was Called is a Witness.

White Plains, N. Y, March 13-Tes- timony designed to show that Thomas Mott Osborne had full knowledge of alleged immoral conditions at Sing Sing prison while he was warden there was brought out by the prosecution at the trial of Osborne which began to- day. William Willett, Jr., a former congressman, who was imprisoned in Sing Sing prison for buying a supreme court judSeship nomination in Queens county, and James Harvey, also a prison inmate, were the principal wit nesses against Osborne. The indict- ment against the former warden, charging perjury, is based on his testi- mony last October before Dr. Rudolph Diedling, state prison commissioner. who conducted an investigation at Sinr Sing. Osborne testified before pr. Diedling that there is no immortality so far as the prison is concerned"
 Documentary Evidence Admitted.
 Harvey, on whose story of immoral ity three inquiries of Sing Sing prison were conducted. had testified to con 1 dittons there when Willett, now com pleting at the Great Meadows prison the sentence imposed after his convic- tion, was called as a witness. His testimony as to the extent of OSbornes knowledge of the alleged immoral con- ditions was assisted by Assistant Dis | triCt Attorney William J. Fallon with l documentary evidence in the form of Mutual Welfare league complaint and punishment slips, which were admitted | into the record. These papers taken ] from the files at Sing Sing. recited the charges and showed the sentences inn ! posed by the league on its offending | members. This organization was in- l auSurated by Osborne in aid his "re- form from within" plan.
 Sought to Prove Witness Was Dis. gruntled.
 Through cross examination of Will ! lett, George Gordon Battle, counsel fol | Osborne. sought to bring out that Will. lett, disgruntled because Osborne had | denied him special privileges at Sins
 Sing, had aided the prosecution in thu preparation of the perjury accusation
 in the hope that he would soon bt paroled. Willett denied this.
 When Harvey told before the wei. fare feague of his immoral relation. | with officers of the Mutual Welfare | league. it was willett who presided. a. | Osborne's request, he testified. As { l result of Harvey's recital, Osborne con. ducted an inquiry during which the ac cused officers at first denied but latel admitted their guilt. The document! introduced by MT. Fallon showed tha IS members were suspended from tn, | league and decided to appeal to tht
 warden
 Not Promised a Parole.
 willett denied that MT. Weeks oI
 John B. Riley. then state superintend ent of prisons, had promised him pa. role or ommutation of sentence in re turn for assistance, or that he wa! hostile to Osborne, because the 1attei had opposed a parole bill pending il the legislature.
 Attorney Battle said tonight that h,
 would refrain from calling any wit nesses, including Osborne himself. 'f the prosecution brings out nothinl more serious than it did today"
