The ambulance corps, field wireless

Fears of Villista incursions between
the border camps, caused Pershing to
send two companies of the Twen-

tition of the Columbus raid and to
protect Deming from 100 Mexicans
who armed themselves following their
discharge from mines in the vicinity.
Columbus produced a sensation to-
day by turning up six dead Mexicans
who evidently had received summary
justice on suspicion of their having
given the Villistas information during
\ 4lursday's raid. The six had been
released by the military authorities
and told to leave the vicinity, but en-
ragged citizens are believed to have
ambushed the Mexicans. They were
riddled by bullets. An investigation
is in progress.

Man to Man Encounters

LONDON, March 1.-THE Germans
have redoubled their efforts against
Verdun fortress in the past twenty
four hours. At the same time they are
systematically feeling out weak spots
In the French lines by sharp surprise
night attacks.
East of Verdun, the French front is
being deluged with big shells. German
infantry is following up the artillery
attack with vicious charges. The
Germans are again attempting to
storm Fort De Vaux and to push in
upon all the eastern forts of Verdun.
Dispatches from Paris received here
early tonight, admitted that the
French line was thrust back slightly
at several points by the furious Ger
man onslaught. but reported most OF
the lost ground rsga1ned in equally
furious counter attacks. At the vii
lage Of Vaux. fierce hand to hand
struggles continued today, the French
making desperate efforts to oust
Posen troops from houses on the esat-
ern outskirts Of the village.
French Zouves and Senegales are
distinguishing themselves in the man
to-man encounters along the Vaux
brook.
The slaughter around Fort De Vaux
now almost equals that in the fight
ing for Douaumont fort. In fighting
continuing throughout last night, the
Germans rushed UP the slopes into
steady stream Of fire and almost sue
ceeded in reaching the wire entangle-
ments Immediately before the French
positions. Their ranks were ridd1ed
and they were beaten back down the
slores, but the latest dispatches from
Paris indicated that they returned to
the attack.
Confused reports about the fighting
northwest Of Verdun, on the west bank
Of the Meuse, continued to come from
Berlin and Paris today. The German
war office declared that French troops
have been cleared from the Corbeaux
and CuEieres woods, indicating that
the French on Goose Hill are two
thirds surrounded. The French war
office fatty contradicted this claim,
declaring that French counter attacks
drove the Germans out of all the
trenches they had gained in a strong
attack in this region last night.

bark had been torpedoed, that seven
Americans were on board and that all
on board were saved, the state de-

What reason the consul general has
for believing the Silius was torpedoed
and was not the victim of mine or
internal explosion.
What flag whipped at the mast

boat was sighted.
The department announced this aft
ernoon that no action would be taken
until these facts are learned. They
can only be learned in way to
make the facts relevant evidence, up
on receipt of affidavits Of the passen-
gers and crews.

view the attack and placing Ameri-

word needed tonight to send the
armed forces of the United States
into Mexico at several border points,
to exterminate Villa and his bandits.
The order was expected hourly, al
though it may not come before Sun

silence comparable to the European
censorships, the preparations have
