First News Received.
The first news OF the bandit
raid was received here through a
cryptic telegram from Holmes 20
officials Of the smelling Company
asking them 20 notify HE wife
that ne had reached ChihuahJa
City and was safe. Whether he
was prevented from sending fur
ther information or supposed news
OF the occurrence had already
reached EI Paso, is not known.
His message aroused anxiety
concerning the fate OF the other
men known 20 have left Chihua-
hua CITY for Cusihuiriachic, and
before the censorship was imposed,
they succeeded In getting into
communica cation with nininu men
IN chihuahua City who furnished
the brief details Of the attack.
The Americans. q was said,
were sent 20 reopen the mines on
assurances Of protection 20 the
smelling company, given by the
Carranza governn1cnt through the
United states state department.
News Of the raid caused con-
sternation here as many % the
families Of the men supposed 20
have been on board the raided
train reside here.

ing men in chihuahua City vas

As far as the western front Is
concerned the center OF interest is
still the Champagne region. A.
eording to French accounts there
was clearly nothing casual or or
dinary about the big German at
tack which the French claimed
they successfully stepped. The
French lines here make a tempting
salient but the position evidently
has been made correspondinaly
strong.
Paris claims that the French by
vigorous counter-attseks eSpelled
the Germans from all except a
small section OF the trenches which
they had won in Champagne.
