FULL FURY
 OF ATTACK
 UNLEASHED

PARIS, March iO.-The full fury of the German attack is now unleashed and everywhere, despite Che most prodigaI expenditure Of shells and law ish outpouring of blood the Germans have been repulsed. The Germans are throwing wave after wave of men upon unshaken French lines both east and west of the Mouse. They are sut- ferlng terrible losses and are utterly failing to advance Q yard.
 The artilerymen on both sides are living unp to the reputation already established for che batlie of Verdun. Many sectors Of the fort have -eceiy- ed an average Of 100000 shells in P hours.
 The woods have been reduced to splinters along the river near Forges. The river was damned in half dozen places and Q 30-foot crest at Hin No. 213 was blown away.
 Both the press and the war officials believe now that Verdun win never be taken.

WASHINGTON, March 10. -- Pres- ident Woodrow Wilson early today or dered Major General Frederick Fun ston, commander of the Southern Dc. pertinent of the Army, stationed at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, to 'crose the Mexican border and pursue the Villa bandits, who yesterday raided the car1r cf the 18th inf, and sacked and parfiaiy destroyed the town Sf Columbus, New Mexico, and killed American citizens and American sol diers.
 It ls understood here that Maj. Fun ston will take an expedition of not less than 5000 men and cross the border In pursuit of tho bandits to ef- feet their capture.
 President Wilson's decision is that the Villa troops must be exterminat- ed. A special meeting of the Cabinet was called this morning and the qeustion whether to give Carranza further opportunity to punish the ban dits was discussed. New Secretary of War Baker, who took oath of office late yesterday attended the Cabinet meeting. He stated that 1t looked as if he would get busy immediately, which is the best way to prevent homesickness.
 Crush Villa ls Slogan.
 Last night and early today the White House was deluged with letters and telegrams urging the action of the of- fclals to run down Villa. These let ters, etc, were prompted by fear that the Mexican public would force Carranza to refuse permission of the American troops to cross the border.
 Crush Villa" is the new American slogan. It developed this afternoon. Intervention or invasion of Mexico has not occurred and will not occur but the campaign promises to be merely against marauders.
 The future American policy, how ever, depends largely on word from Gen. Carranza, which is expected hourly Representative Elizseo Ar rendondo, of the Carransa govern ment, indicated today that his chief would not object to the United States troops crossing the line and might welcome the aid of Americans in ex- terminating Villa. The administration has basis for belief that Carran- za's statement will declare Villa an outlaw both against the American and Mexican governments and Q common enemy of both.

END OF WAR TO
 MAKE ECONO1IIC
 CHANGE CERTAIN

MADISON Wis. March 1O.-Presi- dent Charles R. Van Hise Of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. in a signed arti- cle in a Milwaukee newspaper de- clares that the end of the war will mean the greatest economic changes in every country ever experienced in any brief period in tho worlds his- tory. At the end of the war many rich people abroad win be richer and the poor win be poorer. The abso- lute physical wealth of the nations will be greatly reduced. for enormous expenditures have been devoted Go purchases which are of no permanent value.
