VALUE FROM STUMPS

By means Of an apparatus describ-
cd in the current issue of the En-
cheering Record, the stumps of
trees left after logging operations in
leaf pine timber lands have been
converted from a source of expense
into an asset. The device is in the
shape of a hood that sets over the
stump and distiIls as much as seven
teen gallons of heavy pine oil from
it. The process converts the stump
itself into a fine grade Of charcoal
and dstroys it far enough under
ground to permit blowing.

 From part of this wood the French. in an immediate counter attack, drove back the invaders.
 Another powerful attack was deliv- cred against that portion of the Avo- court wood held bys the French. but here the French barrier fire and ma chine guns held the Germans without gain.
 The French have now entirely evacu- ated the village of Naux and have drawn their line south of the town, but in its immediate outskirts, Berlin says that northeast of Haueourt. be- tween Malancourt and Le Mort Homme, the Gcrmans have entirely cleared the French frcm about 1000 yards of trenches, where they had remained since the German victory on this sector March 30.

LONDON, April 2.-U0:50 p. nt)- With the exception of the big air raid of January 31. when the casual ties were e persons killed and IT injured, the Zeppelin raids of Friday and Saturday nights caused greater loss of life than any previous aerial attack this year.
 The total casualties for the two nights, according to an offiacia re- port, were 59 persons killed and 166 wounded.
 As some compensation for this sac rifice of life. however, the British public finds satisfaction in practical proof afforded of great improve ment in the defensive methods deal ing with aerial incursions For the first time since the inception of this method of warfare on the British coast, not only has one raiding Zep- pelin been brought down and it's crew taken prisoner. but the official report recounts an exerting aerial fight between a Zeppelin and Brit ish airman. Lieutenant Brandon, who, mounting to q height of 5000 feet, flew over the raider and dropped sev- eral bombs on it with effect. The machine of Lieutenant Brandon was hit several times by machine gun bullets from the Zeppelin. It is still unknown whether the Zeppelin in this fight was the L-15. which was

T0 SEARCH IN MOUNTA|NSFOR
 BANDIT VILLA
Republican A. P. Leased WireJ

SAN ANTONIO. Texas. April D., Unless Francisco Villa is definitely located within the next day or two it is believed here that General Persh-
 ing will begin a dogged search for him in the mountains west and south of Guerrero.
 Since the defeat of Villas forces on March 29 near Guerrero General
 Pcrshing has had lightly equipped
 mobile detachments of cavalry sweep
 ing in whirlwind fashion through
 the disturbed headwaters of the San
 ta Maria river, in efforts 10 locate
 the elusive bandit who was reported
 to have gone in that direction after being desperately wounded General Pershing did not get re- port through to General Funston to-
 day There is increasing belief that General Pershing may have been de- oeived in regard to the direction talk en by Villa and even concerning his injuries. Some reports indicate that he was not injured at all and instead of going northeast of Guer- rero he had moved into the hills to the south and east, a direction Amer ican officers had expected him to take.
 The new information is not re- garded as more creditable than that which caused the cordon of troops ;o be drawn across every exit from tte- district northeast of Guerrero and it was believed here that Gen. ers.' Pershing will not he able to evolve any new plan in the immediate 1 futme.

North from Guerrero and East of Line of Mexico Northwestern Railroad Seventh Regiment Con tinues It's Pursuit
RU MORS SAY

Reports Not Confirmed Say That Colonel Dodd Has Captured Man Who Was Once the Robin Hood of Mexico
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

COLUMBUS, N. M, April 2.-North from the town of Guerrero and east of the line of the Mexico Northwestern railroad, through arroyos and over trails that lead through the buttes and canyons of the Sierra Tarahumare. American cavalrymeh of the Seventh regiment are riding night and day seek ing Francisco Villa. according to latest reports received from field headquar- ters at Colonia Dublan.
 Little information concerning the pursuit filtered over the border today, and nothing definite was received from official sources. There were reports, however. that the forces of Colonel Dodd had captured the man who was once the Robin Hood" of Mexico. but because of the difficulty in communica ton, have been unable to make a re- port Late advices from the camp of General J. ]. Pershing, at the front, stated that the track of a vehicle be- lieved to be the carriage carrying Villa in his flight has been discovered
 Other advices said that the American cavalrymen were riding through the mountains in the teeth of a heavy gale. but that not'a single man indicated a desire to give up the search.
 Army men here were considerably disturbed today by numerous warnings from confidential sources that Villista adherents are gathering in the Chi huahua desert, both north and south of Ascension and near the motor trail leading from Columbus to Casas Gran des for the purpose of attempting to cut the American line of communica- tion.
 An extra heavy guard of infantry men, with specific. instructions in the event of an attack, was placed on d truck train which left here for the front today. Isolated camps of soldiers guarding the line were reported by the field telegraph and ordered to watch closely for signs of hostile forces Lieu tenant A. w. Gullion, Twentieth lnfan- try, of Lexington, Ky. adjutant of the base, left on the train for Colonia Dub Ian, where he will attempt to co-ordin- late more closely the work of the expedi- tionary force and that of the base camp.

 FL PASO, Texas, April 2.--The Grandes region in week pulled into Juarez today from Pearson, 90 miles south of the military base established by General Pershing at Colonia Dub Ian.
 Several Mormon colonists were on the train but they threw no light on the veil of mystery which has en- veloped the operations of the Ameri- can troops since the decisive defeat of the Villistas last Wednesday by Colonel Dodd. They reported that everything was quiet at Pearson and Casas Grandes and that the Mexi- cans had apparently become recon ciled to the presence of the Ameri- can troops on Mexican soil. Mexican merchants were selling their goods freely to American soldiers. the colon ists said, and were more interested in the American currency system than the pursuit of Villa.
 There is no indication here that American military authorities have Iany anxiety over the supply problem for the troops at the front. No at- tempt has yet been made to ship food or forage by the. Mexico Northwest. ern railroad
