Daring Cavalrymen Now Retacing Their
Course, After Completely Dispensing
Vilista Band and Killing at Least AZ
Villas Hiding Place Known

Columbus, n NJ, May 6.-Nearly exhausted by their
sensational battle with Vstas at OjoAzules and an all
day ride in pursuit of the fleeing survivors, Major Howe
and his troops tonight reracng their course toward
the base camp at San Antonio, Mex.
Fifty miles southwest Of Cusihuiriachic the pursuit
stopped when the faggedou horses could keep up the
chase no longer Many Vistas believed accounted
for IN the wild ride through the mountains with each
American center1ng his attention on some individual
Mexican Supplementary reports of the battle are likely
to show much larger toll than the 42 men slain by the
Americans in the first assault the camp officials here
believed.
While Howze's force jogging back for rations and
rest picked band Of cavalry set out toward point
designated as Paneho Villas hiding place The location
was not given out here but stated General Pershng
has authentic advices of the wounded bandits where
abouts Scouts set out to search the vicinity Immediately
after the reports reached Perhng and the commander
communicated his information to General Funston Mill

PRAISE FOR THE
GERMAN NOTE
IN PAPERS
HEW EHH AENN

Berlin, May 6.-The German news
papers today generally praised the
German reply and expressed the hope
that it will satisfy both President Will
son and the American people. No edi-
toriai with adverse criticism appeared.
Into the midst of the newspaper dis
cussion, Macmillan Harden, noted
German pacifist injected another
strong defense of President Wilson's
stand, closing a bold article in his
weekly magazine with an emphatic de-
NAL of the charge that the United
States had violated neutrality by ae-
tivities favorable to the allies.
Hardens editorial, written before any
Of the German newspapers had COM
mented on the German reply, was evi-
IDENTIFY for the purpose of forestalling
any adverse criticism of the German
governments position or President
Wilson. He roasted numerically the
German writer's. who have attacked
President Wilson with shafts of sar-
casm. charging them with gross ig-
norance of Wilson's true character
He paid high tribute to Wilson's lofty
motives.
The German public thus far has only
one or two brief messages transmitted
through English sources to indicate
how the reply was received by Presi-
dent Wilson and the American people.
These dispatches are optimistic in nn-
ture, but the newspapers, always sus-
pteious of any news of the passing
through England are refraining from
comment. 1t is understood the wireless
will bring excerpts from American edi-
torial comment to Germany within a
few hours.

An earlier statement from the ad-

Brindisi Thursday. The batteries, port
establishments and areonautic station
at Valona were hit At Brindisi, the
railroad station, magazine and other
buildings. Enemy areoplanes which

few DELEGATES
YET TO BE NAMED
TO CONVENTION
No Pre- convention Contests
of Importance Anticipated
Hughes to Make No
Further Statement.

Washington, May e.-Plenty of fight
once the convention starts, but few, II
any of them before-battle contests
which furnished thrills four years ago
was predicted by Republican lead
ers with the Chicago meeting just a
month away.
OF the 9Sb delegates who win vote,
ia have been selected. In the list
are what leaders consider an almost
negligible number OF prospective con-
tests. OF the men still to be elected,
those from Ave states will be chosen
by primaries.
To these primaries leaders are at
taching an Importance exceeding what
might be expected from the number of
delegates to be chosen-Texas and
Pennsylvania being the only two big
delegations. The sentiment disclosed
by their votes is regarded as the best
indication of the country's real desires
because the latest to be expressed.
Many Sections Heard From.
Pennsylvania 76 votes were expect
ed to show the opinion OF industrial
United States, and Oregon, Vermont
and South Dakota, the position OF agri-
cultural states in widely separated Sec
tions. West Virginia's primaries have
largely been discounted by a conven-
ton choice of state, which the pri-
maries are expected to ratify. Should
Oregon, Vermont and South Dakota
exhibit the same luke-warm feeling on
preparedness as did Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois and Michigan, and should
Pennsylvania take an opposite view. as
now expected, the leaders admit they
will be hard put TO bring the Chicago
to a harmonious agreement
on "Americanism".
Indications increase here that Jus
tice Hughes intends no further state
ment as to his candidacy. Many poll
ticians whose views are professional
believe that II the convention brings a
united party. Justice Hughes will ac-
cept an offered nomination.
Name on Oregon Ballot.
An opportunity to smoke him out Is
seen after the Oregon primaries, May
10. There he is a candidate. the SUI
preme court having ruled that he could
not withdraw his name once a suffi
cient number of voters had filed 1t.
Should he win. politicians believe they
can argue effectively with him to make
a public statement.
Coming primary date are:
May 16, Pennsylvania rs votes, and
Vermont s.
May 10. Oregon, 10.
May 23, South Dakota, 10.
June 8. West Virginia, 16.

London, May 6.-Within the next 80
days the allies will begin a great COM
bined offensive against the central
empires that will mark the turning
point in the world war.
This is the belief now held in every
capital of Europe. The activity being
displayed by the Germans in i'm
proving their defensive positions on
both the eastern and western fronts,
as we'll as in the Balkans, indicates
that the German general staff holds
the same opinion. Where the allied
armies will strike first is matter of
greatest speculation in the London
clubs. A popular guess is in the Bal
kans, where the allies only a few days
ago established themselves In the
Greek town of F1orina, opposite Mon
astir. as IL In preparation for an ad-
vance. Another guess is that the blow
will fall on the British front near Lens,
the scene of a British drive in the
allied offensive of last September. On
this front the Germans, despite the
Verdun offensive, have held large
forces of Bavarians and by persistent
nibblfng have been striving to put
their house in order to meet the ex-
pected British attack.

PEACE PARAGRAPH IN GERMAN
NOTE AROUSES MUCH INTEREST
GREAT COMBINED OFFENSIVE TO
BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE
ALLIES SOON

The certainty in the situation is that
the fact that despite new peace rumors,
apparently emanating from Berlin,
there will be no peace until after the
allies have tested their strength in a
mighty smash against the. German
fronts. If this offensive fails to make
big dent in the German lines, the
warfare will settle down to another
deadlock with peace a possibility, pro-
viding Germany alters materially the
latest statement Of peace terms made
by her chancellor.
Though the official statement from
the French war office this afternoon
reports another serious attempt by the
Germans northwest OF verdun. It is
generally believed here that the battle
is over. The German newspapers for
several days have had little to say
about the Verdun operations. The i'm
pression prevails here that some Of
the heavier German pieces and many
of the German veterans who fought
at Verdun in the early days of the
campaign have been shifted to other
sectors for more important work.
Paris dispatches report the arrival on
the French front Of fresh German de-
tachments, many of which have
reached the firing line for the first
time.
