Injection of Labor Issue.

it the treatment necessary. The people

SAN ANTONIO. April 17.-General Funston today expressed the convic- tion that communication with the American forces in Mexico could not be extended beyond Satevo. with the present number of troops available. He also said that operations further south were impossible unless authori- ty was obtained for the establishment of a new border base, the free use of the railways or the material strengthening of the forces now in Mexico. He said that in strengthen ing the line to Satevo, the maximum of its elasticity should be attained.

CONFIRMATION LACKING

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Confirm ation of the death of Villa was still lacking tonight, both at the State and War 6eartments. and at the Mexican embassy. The dnly dispatch from American sources in Mexico tending to lend color to the report was brief statement from Major Howze, of the Eleventh cavalry, now near Parral. that he had information which led him to believe that the bandit and small party of his followers had fled some days ago toward San Berja, which is close to the place where unofficial Mexican reports say that the body was found.
 The outstanding feature of the days messages from the border were re norts to the War Department that six Mexicans who confessed to having ta- ken part in the raid on Columbus, N. M.. had been captured and sent to Co lumbus for trial by the New Mexican authorities. Another official report re- lieged anxiety as to the supply prob lem of the troops at the front. It said that the forces now are fully supplied, with the exception of small ship ment of horse shoes and clothing, that will go forward tomorrow. An ample supply of gasoline was on hand, the report said. for the motor trucks and aeToplanes.
 The body supposed to be that of Villa was said by the last Mexican renorts to be en route to Chihuahua. City. Ii was pointed out at the War Department. however. that the point where it was found was nearly two days journey by wagon from the rail- road. That may account for delay in obtaining confirmation or denial of the report that the bandits career has ended
 If General Funston and General iPershing have taken any steps to make certain the identification of the bciv. they have done so on their own initiative. No instructions from that end have been sent from Washington, either to consGls or military command CTS.

 The Times military correspondence printed an article with an elaborate map. purporting to show the exact dispositions Of enormous forces of German troops massed along the British front in Flanders, and France, and drawing the conclusion that Great Britain still is lacking the necessary reserves to meet big at tack.
 These newspapers are openly ad vocating the overthrow of the ''inef ficient" ministry and eNhort the mem bers of Parliament not to lose the opportunity to compel the govern ment. either to conscript married men or resign. Throughout the afternoon. in the lobties of Parliament there were rumors of grave cabinet dissen- tions and of possible resignatiOns of ministery ministers who favor unives- al service. The council of ministers met late this afternoon and set for a little over an hour. Immediately after ward the leading ministers attended the war council. which it is under stood was held as a result of decisions reached at the council They will be given to parliament by Premier As quith tomorrow.

 These reports said that the Mexican peons. ill-nourished and living under the most terrible unsanitary condi- tions, were almost helpless to resist the rayages of the disease. There are few doctors in the country and almost all of the American physicians who formerly lived there have fled across the border. The few Americans who have entered Mexico from here in the last few weeks have taken the pre- caution to carry supply of bottled water with them as there is little water to be found in Northern Chi huahua which is safe to drink.
 In the American refugee colony here the reports of the spread of disease and of growing economic dis tress are declared to be more likely to be inadequate than exaggerated.
