FUNSTON ISUES NEW ORDER;
LINE TO FRONT BOLSTERED

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. April 22-Major
General Funston, following his confer
ence today with Chief of Staff Scott i'm
medIately dispatched orders to all the
American commanders In Mexico. The
nature of these dispatches was not
revealed.
Scott's presence was the signal for re-
newed activities at headquarters following
the temporary lull, and important moves
were believed to be under way as a result
of the dispatches sent out by Funston The
latter did not announce whether Scott had
agreed to a change of the line of COM
munications which the division commander
suggested.
The present line, however, has been
frightened by the placing of additional men
along the route between Columbus and
Namiquipa.
A practical interlocking sentry system
along the line has been ordered by Cen
eral Pershing. Funston was not certain
whether the men were intrenched along
the line, but stated Pershing was taking
no chances"
Additional troops, part OF the $500 extra
men being sent into Mexico, viii be as
sembled by Monday at Columbus. Funston
said. and will be ready to move into Mex
leo in few days.
A salute of IA guns formally welcomed
General Scott to headquarters.

PRESIDENT AWAITS REPORT
OF SCOTT ON MEXICO STATUS

WASHINGTON. April 22.-PresIdent
tion confronting him in Mexico, today
awaited advices from General Scott The
first report following Scott's conferences
with American officers in charge of the
border situation is expected before night.
Belief prevails that following his report
the President will determine what is TO be
done in Mexico.
As It appears here, the United States
faces the alternative of abandoning the
pursuit of Pancho villa or waging war
against CarranzistRs as we'll as Villistas
1t is stated on high authority that
Scotts mission south was not TO seek
means of Withdrawing American troops
1t is stated positively that that question
does not enter into his present conferences.
Scott Is trying to answer questions that
have faced the Administration for the last
two weeks and which telegraphic com.
municaion with border points has failed
to clear up satisfactorily. Among these
questions is just what is the attitude OF
CarranZa toward this country.
Since the Parral incident, when AmerI-
can soldiers were fired on by Carranza
soldiers, who attempted an ambush re.
ports continue TO arrive Of increasing mob
ilization OF Carranzistas at points south OF
Parral. American officers have been
warned by Carranzista officials that Par
raj is the dead line. Whether these Car
Tanzista officers and men are acting under
orders from Carranza himself OF whether
AS Administration officials believe-they
are following the mandates OF local chief
tains. Scott is attempting TO determine.

Recapture by the French Of

by the Germans in a liquid-fire at
tack, is reported from Paris. The
report also states that an attack
planned by the Teutons against the
line and fort Of Vaux has been
made impossible by the terrific
fire of the French artillery.
French military circles are more
than ever confident that the Ger
man offensive against Verdun will
fail and say that the French have
now assumed the initiative in the
Verdun operations, although it can
not yet be asserted that the French
movements have assumed the ma
ture of a counter-offensive
The arrival of Russian troops in
France, military men in France
and England believe, presages a
big Allied drive on the west front
which, it is expected, may begin
about May /. This, however, can
not be said with assurance and re-
mains purely in the realm of spec
ulation. 1t is said that the Car
plans to transport an army of
100000 men to France.
The bombardment of Sofia, capi-
tai of Bulgaria, by a French avi-
ator, is reported from Salonica.
