Ell Paso, Texas, March 22.-For the
first time in its history the United
States army now has motor truck
line operating regularly between a
field force and its base of supplies.
Trucks recently purchased by the war
department are now in commission.
The trains leave daily, carrying
supplies, forage, ammunition and
arms and run on regular schedules,
their progress being watched by dis
patchers at the radio stations. The
express trains carry only supplies for
which there is an imperative demand,
directly to General Pershing's force.
while the locals convey staple sup
plieh to the field base. Two divis-
ions are being maintained, the first
extending from here to the field base
and the second from there to the
camping place of the field force.
For slower freight, wagon trains
are being run, but the large part OF
the supplies is being transported by
motor. At present only two motor
companies are operating the trains.
but it is said that the organization Of
two additional companies will follow
the arrival late this week of more
trucks.

WHOLE CITY WIPED OUT NEAR BORDER
THE WAR TODAY

The Germans are heavily bonn
harding the village OF Ennes,
eight miles northwest of Verdun,
but the French are contesting
stubbOrnly and are holding the
Germans in check.
Russians and Germans are fight
ing a lively battle along the Dvina
river and I'm the lake region be-
tween Dvfnsk and Wilma, with the
Russians generally on the Often
sire.
The Russians have pushed their
lines several miles further toward
TrebfzOnd on the Black sea coast
after severe fighting with the
Turks.
The italians and Austrians are
still fighting fiercely in the neigh
bOrh0Od of ROveretO.
The battle for Verdun now well
in its fourth week, continues with
intensity. but at present the infan-
try is held in leash while the big
guns prepare for further assaults.
The powerful German thrust
west of the Meuse which devel-
Oped early this week, halted when
1t reached the southern edge of
AvOCOurt wood. But the activity of
the Germany artillery in this Sec
tor which Paris reports today par
ticularly violent indicates that the
German intention probably is to
make further attempts to advance
this important thanking operation.
The situation on the eastern
bank Of the Meuse is unchanged
but here, too, the artillery fire con-
tinues intense near Vaux and Dam
lOup.
Russian warships are reported
active in the Black sea, where the
1000 ton German steamer Esper-
naza, said to be loaded with food
stuffs has been sunk off the Ru-
manian coast, according to adyices
from Bucharest.

Paris, March % moon. No infan-
try attacks were made on the Verdun
front last night, the war office an
nounced this afternoon. The Germans
bombarded Malancourt heavily and
there were artillery exchanges Of less
intensity east of the Mouse.
The night official report follows:
In the Argonne there has been
grenade fighting at Haute Chevauchee.
Our artillery shelled the German
works in the neighborhood Of the road
between Vienne-le-C Chateau and Binar-
vile.
On the left bank Of the Meuse the
bombardment continued violently in
the region of Malancourt on the vii
lage of Esnes and hill No. 304. Coun-
ter-shelled with great energy by our
artillery the enemy made no attempt
to attack during the course Of the day.
There was an intermittent lombard

WILSON RESENTS
TEUT PEACE TALE

Washington, March 22.-President
Wilson was represented at the White
house today as being resentful of the
publication of stories that Ambassa-
dor Gerard had reported Germany was
about to make a move for peace. The
published reports were characterized
as unjustified and being based on in
ferences. Yesterday the state de-
partment took notice of the publica-
tons by denying that Germany had
intimated to the United States that
the time was ripe for the United States
as the largest neutral to renew its
friendly offices for peace or that the
United States had been informed that
Mr.. Gerard had been requested to
postpone his vacation because of i'm
pending peace negotiations.

RAILROADS CAUSE
WORRY AT BORDER

Ell Paso, March 22.-The Mexican
railroad situation took first place in
public interest on the border today.
following a report that the American
military authorities were contemplate
ing sending new column into Mexi-
co from Fabens, village 80 miles east
Of here. 1t was stated that this plan
was under consideration as an alter
nate should Carranza refuse the re-
quest of the Washington government
for the use of the Mexican Northwest
ern railroad over which to transport
supplies.
From Guadalupe, across the border
from Fabens, one of the best wagon
roads in northern Mexico leads south,
almost to Ell Vale.
That the railroad problem will bring
real crisis in the relations between
the Carranzistas and Americans is
firmly believed here.
There is a general impression that
General Carranza is playing for time.
