TEUTON RAIDER IS ACTIVE
Eight British and Two French Yes

South Atlantic.

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.-A German
raider has sunk eight British and two
French vessels in the Atlantic, and
has captured and employed six others.
The Hudson Maru, a Japanese
ship which had been overhauled and
captured by the raider, arrived at
Pernambuco with 237 of the crews OF
the vessels sunk and with a remark
able story Of tfhe operations of the
Prussian.
On board the Hudson Maru it was
reported that one British steamship,
the Yarrowdale, had foundered and
that 400 men Of the captured crews
had lost their lives.
The raider, which is the German
cruiser Vineto disguised as a mer-
chairman, carrying II guns and four
torpedo tubes, placed the crews Of the
vessels sunk on board the Hudson
Maru and the Y~arrowdale. When the
Yarrowdale held 400 men, in addi-
ton to her own crew, she was start
ed for some port. She should have
landed long before the Hudson Maru
arrived at Pernambuco. AS nothing
has been heard of her, it Is feared
that she is lost with all on board.

GUARDSMEN TORETURN SOON
Gen. Funston Selecting Units To Be
Returned to Homo Stations In
tho Near Future.

Washington Immediate withdraw.
al Of " a substantial number" OF ma
tional guardsmen from the border has
been ordered by the wal department
and Gen. Funston now is selecting the
units to be sent home. In announcing
the order Secretary Baker said the
number to be withdrawn at this time
probably would be $4,000 or 10000.
The secretary refused to comment
on the order to say what relation 1t
might have to the withdrawal Of Gen.
Pershing's expedition from Mexico.
He said that the organizations to be
withdrawn would be announced as
soon as Gen. Funston reported those
he had designated. This withdrawal
would reduce the force of state troops
on the border to between 5000 and
$4,000 men.
1t Is the policy of the department
not to permit dis~integration Of the ma
tional guard organizations and the in
tention is to hold ever man in serv.
Ice, though not under arms, regardless
OF the fact that his duty on the border
has ended.
All applications for discharge except
for cause will be refused, and resigna-
lions OF officers will be carefully ex-
amined and accepted only when the

VILLA GETTING BUSY AGAIN
Arrives at Gates of Chihuahua After
Decisive Defeat Of Chief Car
ranza'S Forces.

FL Paso, TeX.-Francisco Villa and
his main command again are at the
gates OF Chihuahua City, reports pas
sengers arriving from the state cap
ital After defeating Gen. Hernandez
and his CarranEa command Of 1900 in
the vicinity Of Satevo, villa drove the
de facto column TO La Jolla, eighteen
miles north OF SRtevo, where another
defeat was administered and the col
m was forced to retreat to Santa
ISABEL and then to Palomas, only eigh.
teen miles west OF the city.
Gen. Francisco Murguia, who had
entrained to come to the border, went
to Palomas with 500 troops and took
personal command.
The presence OF villa troops west o;
Chihuahua City, government agents
believe, is the forerunner of the third
attack upon the state capital by Villa.
AS villa now controls the western
part OF the state, the agents say they
fear he may attempt to occupy the ter.
ritory held by American troops al soon
as Gen. Pershing withdraws.
The occupation OF the border port
Of Ojinaga, opposite Preside, Tex, is
expected to be the next move Of the
Villa forces.
Rumors OF disaffection in the state
OF Sonora have been received here and
the fact that a pro-Carranza American
newspaper was stopped from going
into that state has strengthened the
rumors that de facto troccs may join
Villa.
