Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Infantry attacks northwest of Yer dun, preceded by a vigorous bom- bardment, have enabled the Germans to gain a foothoid on the small hill of Haucourt, which lies just outside the village of Malancourt and be- tween that town and the eastern edge of the MalancOurt wood
 An entire sector of about two and half miles from the Avercourt wood to Malancourt has been subjected to a violent artillery bombardment and several infantry attacks, but except in the immediate vicinity of Malan- court the Germans were held by the to advance.
 Northeast of Verdun, around Dou- aumont and Naux, an intense artil- lery bombardment still is in progress The infantry forces, however. have remained inactive in this district.
 From the west, in the forest of the Argonne, the French are heavily smelling the Malancourt wood, which is in the hands of the Germans and at various points in the forest have bombarded German organizations, and especially at Four De Paris, La File Morte and Montfalcon.
 The Russian offensive against the Germans in northwest Russia has in- creased in intensity and fighting is in progress day and night. The lat est official statement from Russian general headquarters says that des- perate infantry fighting is proceed ing north of the town of Postav where the Germans launch violent counter attacks in an attempt to~ dis lodge the Russians from trenche. which they had previously captured Respecting this operation the Berlir communication says that al this poin the Russians delivered their attacl and their losses reached "extraor- dinarily high figures even for tn. number of Russians in action" The Russians captured three line of the German trenches on the south western shore of Lake Narocz. wher, it is officially declared the fightins 1 is developing in favor of the Russian forces.

NASHVILLE AND
 AUGUSTA HAVE
 SERIOUS FIRES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 22.-A ball of yarn, lighted and thrown by boy into dry grass in a vacant lot, started a conflagration in Nashville at noon today which was not under con- trol until late this afternoon after 35 residence blocks had been swept by the fire. The loss is estimated at $1 100000
 A wind driving at 50 miles an hour famed the burning grass into flames which quickly caught planning mill and leaped from building to build ing until at least 600 residences had been destroyed, the Warner Public school and several churches reduced to ruins
 Tonight it is estimated that at least 5000 persons are homeless as a result of the fire.
 National guardsmen called out by Governor Rye went on duty in the fire zone late today and will remain there for several days to aid in relief work and prevent footing.
 Pitiful scenes were everywhere in evidence tonight. The fire spread with such suddenness that members of many families were separated. Several men were looking vainly for their wives and parents were looking for their child ren. It is believed that most of the missing will be located in' homes of Nashville residents where homeless were taken after the fire. Thrill ling rescues were made. Several women were saved by men who risked their l lives by rushing through the flames. Eight hundred children were at reci- ,tation at Warner school when the flames ! leaped into that block. The teachers continued the lessons and not until l sparks had set fire to the window cas- l ings and the cupola of the building, were the children dismissed. They made their escape safely but many of them had to pass through the fire zone in order to get home. Later the school 1 building was burned to the ground. The home of the Little Sisters of the Pooi
 was burned. Two women were ser iOUsly burned in escaping from theil
 residences through the flames.
 At II o'clock this morning, the wind
 was driving through Nashville at rate ,of 52 miles an hour. During the en- tire day it raced along at between 4(
 and 50 miles. It came from the west in the morning and turned and twisted through all the streets of Nashville picking up large gravel and hurling il through the lair like hail. At noon the
 wind changed and blew from the north
 west. This was the drive which swep the conflagration before it. At in thu IL
 but at o'clock it still was blowing
 30 miles an hour.

For Carranza Military Gov ernOr of Chihuahua Re nOunces First Chief" and Announces Will Take Field for Villa
TO MOVE AGAINST
 AMERICAN TROOPS
Army Men Believe Herrera Will Have Every Possible Cooperation from People In District Where He Is Operating
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

"A.
 COLUMBUS. x. M, March D. Passed by Censor)-General Luis Herrera, until recently Carranza mil itary governor of Chihuahua, has re- nounced Carranza and announced in favor of Villa, taking the field in western Chihuahua with 1000 troops. according to reliable information re- ceived here tonight.
 The exact place at which General Herrera's troops are encamped was not indicated in the message which reached Columbus from a source that always has been highly reliable. It is believed. however, that the troops. most of whom recently constituted the Carranza garrison at Chihuahua City are some place in the distance between San Pedro and Chihuahua and are preparing to work north and west toward the American punitive expedition, in the field under General Pershing
 The sentiment of the people in this district which lies about 70 miles di- rectly east of the Guerrero region in which Villa began his days as an outlaw, is strongly in favor of the bandit chieftain. His success in with standing Porfoiro Diaz's rurales for eight years. during all of which time there was heavy price on his head. was due to the loyalty of the neons, who worship Pancho Villa as an idol Army men believe here that Herrera and his command will have every possible cooperation from the i people of the district
 l General Luis Herrera was one of 1 Villas brigade commanders from 1913 l to 1915. He with his brother, Mac 1 lovic Herrera, were born in Southern ] Chihuahua and raised a brigade of i troops from that region which at l tained great prominence in the early l Villa campaigns.
 1 MaClOvic Herrera, the youngest of the two, was the active leader in the field and was regarded as one of tEe most dashing of Villas officers, While Luis Herrera's services were freely used in an administrative capacity in the territory captured by Villa So highly were Maclovic Herrera $
 
 i services as q fighter regarded that he decided at one time early in 1914 that he was not receiving a proper 1 share of the booty from the cam naien. He is said to have made a demand for share to Villa on a rail- road platform at Jiminez as the lat ter was about to depart for Chi huabua. Herrera is said to have faced down his chief and secured booty aggregating 270o0 pesos and z motor car.
 It is reported that after that occur. renee. there was a coolness betweer the mon and Maclovic was deprived of the Zaragosa brigade. the cracl organization of Villas army. whicl was turned over to Raoul Madero Thereafter neither of the Herer; brothers was overzealous in Villa cause, although Luis Herrera joine, the Carranza ranks and it was re L-ported that he was given commant as military governor of Chihuahu; because of his wide knowledge of tn country, his influence with the peo
