warned torpedoing of the Norwegian
bark Silius with seven Americans
aboard as members OF the crew is ex-
tremely unlikely. according to the
best German authority here today.

doubtedly disavow the act and make
all reparation required.
The Austrian and German en-
bassies have not received any report
ON the Silius case. Meanwhile there
is doubt that the vessel was torpe-
doed. in view Of the fact that It was
an unarmed neutral. Many believe
a mine responsible. NJ
The American consul at Havre con-
ilrmed the report OF one American
sailor having been injured. He has
not enlightened the government with
regard to his previous report that the
Silius was torpedoed.

American Mormon colonists in Chi
huahua we're renewed this afternoon
when q villa deserter arrived at
Casas Grandes, reporting the bandit
chief was marching against the set
tIement, determined to exterminats
the colony.
Information to this effect reached
Carranzista oficiaIs At Juares over
the restored telegraph lines.
Despite earlier constitutionalist
claims Of villa being surrounded By
Caranza troops. he was said to have
arrived at Casas Grandes and to have
demanded surrender OF the Carransa
garrison there Is well as Of the Amer
lean colonists. villa has burned
every bridge on the Mexican North
western railroad between Sabinal and
Corralitis. making It impossible fcr
the train awaiting the Mormons At
Pearson to travel toward the border.
According to the deserter's story.
Villa became enraged over stories
that the Mormons were to act as
guides and scouts for the American
expeditionary force.
The loss Of half of his 600 men at
Columbus by the lighting around the
town and by subsequent desertions
further angered villa and he swore
to kill Americans, men. women and
children.

London. Mar. 14.--Breaking the
long lull in infantry fighting before

The Germans did not attempt to

In the La Pretre forest, Paris said
the Germans attempted to regain lost

blasted scores into eternity and hurl-
ed back the charging Teutons in de-
feat.
There was a steady artillery bonn
bardment around vaux, but the ex-

Light and water plants close to the

every foot of railway track skirting
the boundary is patrolled by uniform

With only single track railroads
paralleling the border to the west,
the absence Of strategic railways for
military concentration Is frequently
commented on. The delay in arrival
