before the Columbus raid their feeling
was that of contempt of a larger man

First Shock. 20 Dead

London, April 7.-Friderich Won
Payer. of the Progressive Peoples
party touched upon German American
relations in addresses in the ReiChstag
yesterday from which Reuters AM
sterdam correspondent quotes as fol-
lows:
The political influence of America
has risen with the duration of the war.
Its growth lays the heaviest RESPONSE
bility on those European states which
caused the war
We must have the right to live
and to be of some account. We feel
ourselves united with America by ties
of blood and we hope the American
people will give us justice.
AT the present moment America
can perhaps render the world the
greatest service by keeping out of
reach of the flames of war.
Common dangers and successes

peace must follow comradeship in

Army men here point out that, al
though important, the moral effect
upon Villas command of the display
of American craftsmanship is minor
consideration as compared with the
effect upon the poems of the district.
Fer il was in Chihuahua that Villa
first held sway. and II is in Guerrero
that many of the natives look upon
Villa as an idol. Realizing this, Gen
eral Pershing has taken every precau-
tion to prevent outbreaks among the
Villa adherents and has placed small
detachments in towns along the
American line of communication not
garrisoned by Carranza troops.

Details of Clashes With
Mexicans Are Received
by War Department
BY Associated Press

Washington. April 7.-American
Consul Letcher at Chihuahua in a dis
patch received at the War Department
to-day through Major General Funs-
ton, told of some of the results of the
clashes between American troops and
Villa forces at Aguascalientes on April
l, and the fight between the bandits
and Carranza troops near Cianeguilla
three days later.
Letcher reported a persistent rumor
in Chihuahua that Villa has been
wounded. He said the fight at Aguas-
calientes resulted in the killing OF
thirty or forty bandits by troopers Of
the Tenth Cavalry under Colonel
Brown. Browns troops were report
ed as living for two weeks on beef
and corn with supplies almost ex-
hausted. \ mining company. Letcher
said. had relieved the shortage by
sending a special train with supplies
and forage.
At the fgI't of Cianeguilla the Car
rama forces under General CaVazos
captured two bandits of the fifty en-
gagged. Letcher reported the Carranza
troops were cooperating with General
Pershing and that General Gutierrez
had informed the American authori-
ties of the Carranza troop disposition
about Chihuahua.
Situation Improves
\ resume of a telegram dated April
8 from the American consul general at
Monterey made public by the State
Department to-day said:
'Telegraphic and mail reports from
Torreon and Durango indicate
marked improvement since the arrival
of General Jacinto Trevino at Torreon
and the establishment of his head
quarters there. Monterey is quiet and
all interior consulates report good or
der and friendly feeling toward Amer
leans"
The Mexican embassy announced
receipt of a telegram forwarded by
Consul Garcia at Ell Paso from Cen
eral Gutierrez saying Villa bandits
had been met and partly annihilated
by the de facto governments force.
The report added that Villa himself
was wounded and his capture was i'm
minent. The date of the fight men,
toned was not reported.

Lansing Denies U. S. Will
Recall Troopers From Hunt
For Bandit Chief in Mexico

Washington, D. c., April Posi-
tive denial by Secretary Lansing late
yesterday was the official answer to
persistent reports that the American
troops might be withdrawn from
Mexico soon, regardless of develop
ments in the hunt for Villa. Both Mr..
Lansing and Secretary Baker, of the
War Department indicated that there
was no present intention of changing
the original orders to General Funston.
Official comment was refused re-
sarding statements credited to a repre-
sentative of the de facto government
at Ell Paso, who repudiated it, that
the punitive expedition had accom-
plished its ends in dispensing the out
laws and that he would be glad to see
it withdrawn. The matter was given
scant consideration by high officials.

that there was absolute quiet in the
State capital when they left, but that
everywhere there was apparent a cur
ious feeling of expectancy that inn
portant developments were imminent.
As has been the case for week
the whole Mexican situation seems at
a standstill pending the outcome of
the negotiations between Washington
and CarranZa.
Repeated intimations that the sup
ply situation had reached an acute
stage have received strong support by
the statements made by soldiers re-
turning from the front and by refer
ences in letters received here by rela-
uves of the men and officers in GEN
eral Pershingis advance columns.
Soldiers in Rags
The question of adequate clothing OF
the American soldiers appears to be-
coming as urgent as that OF food,
Stories from the front OF the expe-
dients adopted by the troopers to re-
pair wornout garments. especially
shoes, gives sharp point to this prob
lem.
Poems Face Starvation
But the plight of the American SOL
diers fades into insignificance when
compared with the stories reaching
mere tnrouEh Mexican sources OF the
desperate conditions prevailing among
the poems in the bandit-ravaged re-
gions of Southern chihuahua and
Durango toward which Villa is head
ing. 1t is said that the unfortunate
people in the district around Torreon.
where Canuto Cano is upholding the
cause of Villa by wholesale looting and
murder, are facing actual starvation.
Gen. Gavia to BE Ousted
There is considerable interest in the
persistant reports that General Gavia,
the Carranza commander at Juarez is
about to be superseded. one story
published in n Mexican paper declares
that General Pablo Gonzales is on his
way here from Mexico City and that
when he arrives he will take supreme
charge of all the CarranZa soldiers in
the field.
In the absence of any definite news
from General Pershing the border has
again been reduced to mere specula-
ton as TO the whereabouts of Villa
and the status of the pursuit. What
is regarded as the most hopeful sign
is that no news has come from Par
raj regarding the bandit. If he has
not reached that town by this time 1t
is argued that there is still a chance
of the American troops cutting in be-
tween him and the south
