SHIPS WERE TORPEDOED
VILLA FLEES WESTWARD:
CAVALRY CLOSE BEHIND

Ell PASO, Tex, March 29-Some-
where amidst the extinct volcanoes of
the great Mexican continental divide
Francisco Villa is fleeing southward
today. Hard on his trail United
States cavalrymen are SRA 'pins every
nerve TO overtake linn before he can
reach the wastes almost uatIuwn to
any but Mexicans ani indians, in
which Villa began his bapd;t career
many years ago.
In the absence OF official news the

Americans familiar with Mexico are
almost unanimous in their opinion
that the troops of the north, oper-
ating in an unfamiliar country and
riding corn-fed horses, are greatly
handicapped. 1t is not a question of
nerve or courage, but a problem of
natural conditions.
An American rancher familiar with
the country through which Villa is
retreating said today:

SUSSEX CAUSES WORRY
TO STATE DEPARTMENT
The German Government Has
Been Asked Whether or Not
It's Submarines Were Con-
cerned in Sinking the Ship.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The
British horse ship Engishman was
first shelled and then tOrpedOed by a
German submarine. according to affi-
davlts made to representatives of the
state department at Liverpool by
three American survivors. On the
receipt Of this information today of
ficials said it seemed clear that the
Englishman had tried to escape The
submarine was operating within the
law in shelling and torpedoing the
Englishman, if the vessel was fleeing
to escape capture, as officials here
inferred from the dispatch.
The German government has been
asked whether its submarines were
concerned in the sinking of the
Englishman or the damaging of the
British channel steamer Sussex,
while that ship was carrying twenty
five American passengers.
While it is. indicated that the case
of the, Englishman will not lead to
diffictsties between the United States
and Germany, if it is proved she was
escaping. overnight dispatches to the
state department from Dover seem,
officials said, to bear out allegations
that the Sussex was torpedoed.
American consular reports, it was
said in the dispatches, had obtained
from survivors at Dover affidavits
confirming those made by other sur
vivors in France. The contents Of the
dispatches was not disclosed by the
state department, but it was said the
affidavits were being forwarded by
the officials who had gathered them.
The state department expects to
receive from Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin some time today or tonight a
report on the result of his inquiry at
the German foreign office into the
circumstances surrounding the dam
aging of the Sussex and the sinking
of the Englishman.
Upon the information gathered
probably will depend the next step to
be taken by the United States.
The state departments information
does not disclose whether the Eng
lishman was torpedOed before or after
she had stopped. The reports seem
to make it clear that she tried to es-
cape, but apparently had abandoned
the attempt and was at or coming to
standstill when torpedoed.
Officials here say if the vessel had
indicated to the submarine her inten
ton of stopping before being torpe
doed she was entitled to immunity
from attack even though she had at
first attempted to escape,
President Wilson discussed the
submarine issue at length today with
Col. E. NJ House, who came back yes
terday to aid in the solution of the
situation growing out of the attack or
the Sussex and the Englishman. Coun
sellor Polk of the state department
plso saw Col House.
Y Additional information regarding
the sinking of the steamer Manches
ter Engineer was expected during the
day from Ambassador Page at Lon
don and from consular officials il
Great Britain.

can ponies. can travel forty miles a
day with ease and fifty miles if
pressed.
"All his men need is a little dried
beef and some corn meal With this
and blanket strapped behind their
saddles they can travel indefinitely.
Compare this with the equipment of
an American trooper, who makes
thirty-five miles a day at best.
The Tarahumare Indians will not
give the slightest assistance to the
Americans, but will dig up their last
grain of corn or wheat for Villa. One
difficulty is lack of water in that
country. What little there is now
will be dried up soon. There may
be few showers in May, but there
will be nothing like what is needed
for a large body Of troops until the
last of June"
Meager official dispatches from
General Pershing's advanced base did
not give the position of the American
troops. Villa was last heard of head
ing into the Tarahumare mountain
country, closely pressed by the Ameri-
cans.
Commanders of the CarranZa
troops in the Chihuahua region ap-
parently have lost trace of Villa and
his men, for no report has been re-
ceived by Mexican officials here for
some time concerning the bandits
whereabouts.

Coaches Are Printing Team for
Three Most Important
Games.

MoRGANTowN, Feb. 12.-west
Virginia University's basketball
coaches, George E. Pyle and W, A.
Price are now centering their Joint
efforts on tho pointing of the Varsity
five for the coming championship
battles with Davis and Elkins, Fair
mont normal and Wesleyan. The fact
that the varsity five has lost one game
already to Fairmont Normal, champ
ionship contenders, by the score Of 81
to 80 has not dampened the ardor OF
the Varsity or its supporters in the
least as the team had only been to-
gether but four days when Fairnont
was played. On the other hand Fair
mont had been playing for at least
two full weeks and not person who
has seen the team work during the
last three weeks hesitates in saying
that II Fairmont was to play here
again, the Varsity would win by at
least fifteen points. AS 1t was the
Varsity should have won the first game
by a safe margin for at least dozen
open shots directly under the basket
were missed.
Team Much Improved.
The team has been showing remark
able Improvement and the team work
displayed in the game against West
Lafayette Tuesday evening was a-reve-
lation to all. The most recent addi-
ton to the team is Morrison, who
supplants Arnold Loudin at guard.
