Fighting continued at the Tolmno

des commanding the aero corps re-
ported that Lieut.. Robert H. Willis
and Lieut.. Edgar S. Gorrell who left

ports OF the missing men or their BIZ
pines had been received. Immedi-
ately instructions were issued to driv-
ers Of every motor truck leaving here
to watch for traces Of the missing men
and their planes. 1t is believed also
that some Of the six aerop!anes when
arrived safely at Casas Grandes are
being employed in the search.
The eight planes started from here
late Sunday for the flight over ITO
miles Of desert and mountains through
the Casas Grandes valley to join the
expeditionary force. Neither of the

RUSSIAN FORCES
enter |SPAHAN
Cars Troops in Former Capital
of Persia

London. March II. 1874 P. Ma
Reuter- dispatch from Teheran says
that Russian forces entered Ispahan.
the old capital Of Persia. on March II.
Ispahan is one of the important cit
les of Persia, with population OF
some 10000. 1t is 21S miles southeast
Of Teheran.
The foregoing dispatch indicates
Russian movement further to the south
than has been reported hitherto. Rus
alan forces after the capture of Hama
dan advanced southwest towards
Kermanshah, in the direction Of the
turkish frontier. The army now re-
ported at 1spahan is evidently striking
southwark from the main RUSSIAN
forces in the direction Of the Persian
gulf.

TO STRENGTHEN
PUNITIVE FORCE
ON THE BORDER

Columbus, y. NJ, March 21.-Every
organization of the United States army
at the Columbus station is being rap
idly brought into condition for field
service. 1t was reported today that
additional troops soo1 would be called
for service in northern Chihuahua.
Fears that Mexican bandits were
about to make another attack upon
Columbus, were expressed by resi-
dents today following the discovery OF
smoke on one of the peaks of the
mountains overlooking the town
These fears were increased by reports
that several Mexican residents of the
town, who had not been seen since
the Villa raid had returned.
Investigation of the smoke which,
some citizens believed to be that of
signal fire, proved to have been caused
by a mining prospector.

East of the Mouse the night was
calm.
The text Of the statement follows:
In Belgium a reconnaissance on the
part Of the enemy which took place
along our lines to the north of Pont
Boesing he was at once driven back
by a counter-attack.
In the Argonne district our artil-
lery has been very active along the
wood.
West Of the river Meuse the Ger
mans several times last night renewed
their attacks against our front eX-
tending from Avocourt to Malancourt.
where the bombardment by shells of
large calibre continued without inter-
ruption. The attacks of the enemy
here were accompanied by the throw
ing of flaming liquid by attachments of
men carrying special machines Tor
this purpose.
in spite Of the heavy losses intiict-
| ed by our fire, the enemy was able to
take possession, after hand to hand
| fighting Of the southeastern part OF
Malancourt wood. known as the Avo-
court wood which we occupied. All
the efforts Of the Germans to march
out from the Avocourt wood resulted
in failure.

of cavalry is on the way here.
The loss of two aeroplanes under
present flying conditions is not consid-
cred as necessarily serious. minor
engine difficulty or a loss of the route
by few miles east or west might cause
many hours delay in the semi-desert
country where the machines are flying
to the front. The country is difficult
of access for repairs Of engine trouble
or minor accidents require the sending
of machinists to the stranded planes
Wind conditions are extremely variable
so that machine landing for tempo

The Hague. Netherlands March %
Via London, March 2D.-The official Ger
man declaration that no German subma-
rine was responsible for the destruction
of the Dutch steamship Tubantia has
failed to satisfy the Dutch people and
press, whose resentment has increased to
bitter anger since receipt of the news
that other ships have been sunk. sup
posedly by torpedoes. The Nieuwe Rot

trail action-a line of argument also taken
by the Naderland and the Nieuwe Ceur-
ant of The Hague.

not believed, however. that Gen. Villa
would risk an open fight with Gen.
Pershing's troops but instead would
split his men into small parties and
indulge in his favorite guerilla tactics.
Tension Unrelieved
In spite of the reassuring reports
from Washington, there was no lessen-
ing today in the tension along the bor-
DER. nor no weakening in the freely
expressed belief that there was serious
disaffection among the CarranZa
troops. The proposed protocol between
the American government and Gen.
Carranza did not alter this opinion
1t was declared that the First Chiefs
actions by no means reflected the at
titude or wishes of all the Mexican
people and that large numbers of the
troops under his command had been
former adherents of Villa and other
factional chiefs, who still had strong
claims on their sympathies.
Anxiety over Situation
! Other DEVELOPMENTS today indicated that
the American military authorities mere
regard the situation along the border as
| far from satisfactory. On the advice Of
! Cant. Moses commander of the cavalry
troop at Fabens. ~ miles east of here,
DR.. Charles Kicker. the medical officer
with the troop. sent his wife and family
/ to Paso. They were followed by nVe
! other American women residents. lnciud-
ing the two school teachers who closed
! the local schools. Captain Moses said
+ however. that he had experienced no tron-
BILE and did not anticipate any. lie salo
! he had advised the departure OF Mrs
| Kicker and her children simply because
he did not believe scantily populated dis
| tricts along the border were safe places
for women and children at present.
Arresting Mexieans
Texas rangers and patrols have made
a roundup of Mexicans along the from
tier who are suspected of being Wills
partisans and of being engaged in thu
smuggling of ammunition across the Rlt
Grande, a practice that is admittedly go
ing on Seven of these men were sent Int
Eel Paso today from eastern frontier VII
lagos and five have been arrested a
Ysleta, u miles east of here. At th'
latter place the civilian residents say
the customs officials and the rangers dis
covered a plot to ship rapid-firing gun:
across the border. Arrests were made bu
the authorities refused to make an,
statement as to whether guns had beer
seized or had reached Mexico.
In the meantime the situation in Sono
ra becomes increasingly serious due u

a campaign to drive from the state al
