BRITAIN CONNECTICUT FRIDAY PAGES.
VILLA BEING FURNISHED
 PROVISIONS AND MONEY

Washington March 24.-Scnator Lewis, democrat, declared in resolution introduced today that American authorities had EnowI- edge of supplies and money being furnished to Villa from foreign countries and from the United States. His resolution proposed to brand Americans who give such aid as Guilty of actual treason"
 At the request of Senator Borah, republican, the resolution was read twice and then Senator Lewis asked that it lie over and gave no- tice that he would speak upon it at an early opportunity.
 Some of the border senators read telegrams from citizens cx- pressing apprehension for the safe ty of American interests along. the Mexican line and Senator Stone re- newed his appeal to senators not to agitate the situation. The dis cussion died without action.

SITUATION IS SERIOUS.
 SAYS ADJ7. GEN. COLE
But Denies State Militia Has Been Ordered to Be
 Ready.

New Haven, March 24.-Reports were current today, not only ir New Haven but in other places where com panies of the National Guard have armories, that orders of some kind had come through from Washington Which would be intended to prepare the militia for a call to do service on the Mexican border. So far as could be learned from officers who would have. had early information, there have been no orders of any kind re- CeiVed.
 It is thought probable here that the reports were based upon the fact that yesterday Adjutant General George M. Cole made his customary inspec- tion of the batteries of light artillery in the state in preparation for the regular inspection today of the same commands by an inspecting officer of the United States army. These in spections followed the regulations and, it is stated, have no bearing upon conditions on the Mexican border.
 Adjutant General Cole was in New York last night and reached Stam ford this morning on his return to Hartford, where he was seen. While waiting for a train he said that the Mexican situation looked serious. He Was asked if the Connecticut National Guard was likely to be called and he replied that he did not know. He felt certain that if it was called it woudl prove to be an efficient com mand.

ported Working at Columbus.

San Antonio, Tex, March 24.--Re- ports from Mexican sources that Villa had been defeated by American-MeX ican troops at E1 Oso near Nami- quipa, were accepted today by Major Gen. Funston as probably true, all though no confirmation by Gen. Per shing had been received.
 Improvement in the working of the wireless made it appear likely that Gen. Pershing would break his fifth day of silence regarding operations south of Casas Grandes by rendering an account of the engagement at El OsO.
 Here it was believed that the Amer jeans would not allow Villa to get out of their sight again and that his cap- ture or death appeared more likely to- day than at any other time.
 Gen. Pershing, it was believed, would concentrate as many of his men as possible in the pursuing force, re- lieving those who have been riding the country south of Casas Grandes.

GERMAN ARTILLERY
 SMOTHERS RUSSIANS
Four Divisions Assault on Eastern
 Front But Without Success
VERDUN REPORTS DIFFER
France Says Night Was Quiet While German Statement Claims Further ture of Two Trenches

Berlin, March 23, via London, March A 12:3O D. m.-The import ance of the struggle around Verdun naturally overshadows interest in the contest on the eastern front but the latest dispatches show that hard fighting is in progress in the northern sector of the Russian line.
 The Russian fire became intense on the evening of March 19. More than fifty thousand shells chiefly of heavy calibre. fell over @ small section of the front near Postavy. German wire entanglements and the front line trenches were damaged by this fire
 At night the Russians attacked in thick waves. The first two waves were moved down before they reached the entanglem ments. The third at tack pierced the German position on a front of less than one hundred wards and the assailants were enjected by a counter attack led in person by a regimental commander. At dawn the Russians made a fourth attack but it was smothered in the initial stages by German artillery.
 Four Divisions In Charge.
 Four Russian divisions are said to have participated in these movements The Germans were compelled to sum- mon almost no reserves Their loss as were heavier than on the two pre- ceding days of the fighting on account of the Russian drum fire, but it is as serted that nevertheless they were small.
 Activity of the Russians at other points of Field Marshal Von Hinden~ burg's front is less marked Compar- atiVe quiet prevailed on March 19 along the sector between Wiszeniew md Narocz lakes, except for a strong night attack of the Russians, which vas repulsed. ,...,'..-.
 The losses sustained by the Rus ians in these encounters. are said o have been very heavy. Notwith- the severity of the actions, 10 concern is evident here. The state of public feeling was expressed D1- l correspondent who said: "The peO~ ole have no anxiety, because they know Hindenburg is there.''

Mules Replace Auto Trucks.

Columbus N. M., March 24.-The American campaign to capture Fran cisco Villa has reached the point Tn the foothills of Chihuahua, where 1t 1 has been found necessary to dispense 1 with heavy motor trucks as transport l facilities and to depend entirely upon l the army pack mule, it was learned 1 here today. It is known that the i trucks have encountered many diff 1 cuties in the sandy region through l which the troops have passed. Motor trains probably will be used. however. for transport purposes between Co., lumbus and the advanced base at Casas Grandes
 The American advance into Chi huahua is proving a hard march both for animals and men, according to reports brought here today by J. c. MarloWe, of Douglas Marlowe, who is the first of the civilians who started eight days ago with the expeditionary force to reach the border, asserted that the army is more and more realizing it's utter dependency on the knowledge of the country shown by the civilian scouts.
 Arriving on a motor truck train after a, thirty hour ride over a rough dust-filled road, from near Casas Grandes, .MarloWe was a vivid eX- ample of the physical difficulties of the march. His face was gaunt, burned and blistered by the glare of the desert sun. A weeks growth of beard was caked with alkali dust, his clothing marked by many encounters with cactus and mesquite.
 All Trucks Accounted for.
 ofC Sol Lake City, Utah, who was in charge Of the trucks on which Marlowe ar rived, said that all of the American trucks and drivers have been ac- counted for, and that American troops have not clashed with any Mexican force since crossing the border
 On the trip down to Casas Grandes, ! Lieutenant Parkinson said that he had seen no Mexicans. with the eX- teption of a few old men at Ascen- 1 cion. All of the men arriving today l told stories of sand storms that filled l the eyes and noses of the men and | animals with sand and drove it under their clothing and their saddles. | That the storms were continuing was l indicated in a radio message from l General Pershing.
 A train load of infantry recruits | arrived in Columbus last night from | Columbus barra cks, Ohio. It was said | that they would be used to fill the | gaps in regiments in the Mexican | field.
 Alleged Spy Arrested.
 Numbers of reports were prevalent in the camp that Mexican spies were observing operations at the base. These were based on the fact that two strange Mexicans arrived yester- day and that one of them spent most of his time watching the loading of trucks preparing to depart for the field. Later the man was arrested | upon orders from the provost and is being held pending an Investigation. He refused to answer questions put to him by military authorities.
