MONDAY

In a statement issued from army headquarters at San Antonio, Gen eral Frederick Funston says that there Is asolutely no foundation for the rumor spread abroad by the newspapers of the United States to the effect that Villa had ueel. surrounded At no time has he been in any danger of being surrounded according to the report, and 1t Is considered doubtful at army head quarters that he was ever wounded as seriously as was reported.
 In fact, according to General Pershings report to General Fun ston, the Americans are now in the dark concerning the where abouts of Villa. The bandit Is still being followed by the Ameri, cans, but he seems to have disap- peared entirely.
 General Trevino. representing Gen eral CarranHa in the Torreon dis trict, has issued proclamation calling upon all of the followers of Villa to lay down their arms. Com plete amnesty Is promised them If they will do SO. according to the report.

reports, all of the villages and bridges along their line of retreat being found mass of ruins by the pursuing American soldiers.
 The war department has again appealed to the Carranza govern ment requesting a more liberal use of the railroads of Mexico. The Mexicans insist on charging a heavy duty on all supplies shipped to the American troops, and as conse- Quence the Mexican national trea- sury Is reaplng a small harvest in money.
 Nineteen Apache scouts have been dispatched to the aid of General Pershing's forces. It Is believed that they can be used to good ad vantage in trailing the scattered hands of Villaistas.

TUESDAY

According to word sent out from the American army staff headQuar- ters at Columbus, New Mexico, Gen. eral Pershing and his forces are now out of communication and their whereabouts are not known. The last word received at staff head quarters was that Pershing had changed his field headquarters from Casas Grandes to a point in the Guerrero wilderness.
 General Funston has again asked the war department for more troops to assist in the Mexican trouble. He states that they are needed to keep open the line of communica- tion with Pershing's forces.
 From army headquarters at San Antonio comes the report that bat tie took place on Sunday at Aguas Calientes between a Villa force and a detachment. of the Tenth cavalry Thirty of the Villaistas are reported to have been killed during the en- gagement, which ended with the retreat of the MeXicans.

WEDNESDAY

That nothing Is known concern ing the present whereabouts of Villa, the brigand leader, and his followers, Is the gist of dispatches sent out from Washington, D. C., today. It had previously been re ported that the bandit had been To- cated in at least five places, but the latest advtces indicate that none of the reports concerning him are true. General Funston has tele- graphed the war department that he has not been informed as to the whereabouts of Villa and that he cannot guess where he Is. He nas also issued another request for more troops, stating that, in his opinion, the force of Americans now er- gagged in the pursuit of Villa and his brigands Is entirely inadequate.
 A Washington dispatch states that Carranza is acting queerly, and 1t Is though: that he is preparing to request the United States to withdraw the invading force of Am ericans from Mexico. In this re gard it is also stated that Carranza has not rendered the assistance due them to the American troops who are bursting Villa
 One hundred more auto trucks have been ordered by the govern ment for use in Mexico. Owing to the fact that the Mexican authori ties will not permit the general use Of the railroads for the trans portation of supplies to the Ameri can troops, the trucks are neces- sary to the invading force.

THURSDAY

Zeppelin raids in England are now getting to be of almost nightly oc- currence, according to dispatches from London. which state that one of the big aircraft flew over the eastern counties last night, leaving death and destruction in its wake. And the people of England, par ticularly London, are becoming con sIderably incensed at the apparent inability of the royal flying corps to handle the Zeppelin situation, for there are very few of the heavi- ly populated sections of England proper which have not been at tackled at some time or other.
 Nor do the air attack repelling guns seem to work to very good advantage, as during all of the raids of the Zeppelins only one of the big war balloons has ever been brought to earth. And very few of them have sustained any but slight Injury, as far as can be as- CeTtained.
 The raid of last night did as much, if not more. injury than any of the previous ones, even if only one Zeppelin was engaged In the attack, according to the reports sent out from London. At least three persons were killed, but the loss of life vas iniinitesimal com pared with the loss of property Tor one of England's largest mu, milton plants, that at Whitby, was destroyed by the bombs cast from the big war balloon, together with other military property.

Dispatches oi today from Wash ington. l. C.. indicate that Car ranza will soon request the United States to .thdraw the American troops from Mexico. However, nOth- Ing officially IS yet known concern ing the matter But it is believed that Carranza will make the re quest, owing to the fact that the Mexican press IS publishing much criticism regarding the failure of the American soldiers to capture Villa. And it is further stated that
 rranZa ha 'OIu -yTt,ir oI ii. leading generals that he considers his own forces amply able to catch the bandit. In support of his con out from Mexico City stating that General Gutierrez, commander of the Carranza troops in the state Of Chihuahua, has sent report to headquarters to the effect that he expects to capture Villa within the next few days at the most.
 The Washington dispatch also states that Secretary of War Baker has officially denied the rumor that the American troops are to be with drawn from Mexico i'll deference to the wishes of Carranza. He further stated that he could officially de clare that 1t Is the intention of the administration to keep the United .atls troops on IiaS JId. |, the bandit is captured. His state ment was corroborated by that of Secretary of State Lansing.
 General Funston expressed him self today, in no uncertain terms, and his language was in no wise complimentary, concerning the re- ports being circulated by the news papers to the effect that American troops are to be withdrawn from Mexico, according to dispatches from army headquarters at San An tonic, Texas. He Is of the opinion that the Americans will eventually catch Villa, but that 1t will take some time. For he has instructed General Pershing to take hIs time and work slowly, as he does not wish to sacrifice he lives of his men needlessly.

The defense5 of Nerdun On that side are therefore undergoing a terrific bombardment of artillery at the present time. It is also stated that a terrific strug- gle is now going on at Vaux, north east of Verdun, with the French forces on the offensive.
