BANDITS KILL AND BURN
FIFTY SEVEN SOLDIERS

Vera Cruz. Feb. 9.-Fifty gov
ernment soldiers killed or burned alive
after being wounded is the latest eX-
plot of the bandits in this region.
An exploring train which preceded
a passenger train from this city in
route to Mexico City was blown up
by rebels under the leadership, it is
asserted, of Higilio Aguilar near 30
co del Monte.
Sarrgupded by the outlaws the es-
ccrt$itgE4lp a brave fight but many
were Killed and wounded. When ibe
fire from the cards slackened the
bandits poured coal on the wrecEage
and burned to death the wounded
shooting down those soldiers who lied
from the flames Aguilar is said to
Rave led this attack after being driv-
en- by federal troops from the nearby
town Of Paso del Marche, where his
followers are alleged to have commit
ted the usual eXcesses upon the de-
fanseless inhabitants during their
short occupation of the place.
Aguilar, who, for long time pro
fessed allegiance to Felix Diaz, is
said to have broken with the former
dictators nephew some time ago,
forcing Diaz to flee from the vicin-
ity of Jalisco.

Assaults Repused by British Drive Halted Gen. Hag Reports
American Soldiers
Declared Equipped
With Best Rifles

American soldiers in France are
equipped with the best rife in
the world, the Ordnance Depart
ment announces. For speed, &C.
curacy, and all-round efficiency
there is none like II in the service.
The gun in question is the modi-
fed Enfield, which far excels the
German Mauser, which experts
declare has only 80 per cent OF
the firing speed of the American
rife.
In both attack and defense po-
sitions the modified Enfield, It is
stated, can be fired without re-
moving 1t from the shoulder at
what is called a rapid rate"
In nearly a score of national and
international rife shoots, the
. United States has captured the
trophy and the rife now In service
is asserted TO far excel any used
In past championship tourna-
ments.

FRENCH.

PARIS, March 25.-The text OF e
days official statement follows:
French troops began to inter
vene on March % in the battle
now being fought on the British
front. They relieved certain OF
the allied forces and took up fight
ing themselves on this sector OF
the front. At the present time
they are engaged in heavy fight
ing in the region of Noyon, and
they are disputing the heights OF
the right bank Of the Disc with
important German forces.
Northwest of Rheims there has
been violent artillery action in
the region OF Courcy and Louvre.
In the Champagne, two German
surprise attacks east OF Suippes
resulted in failure. French pa
trolls took some prisoners near
there.
There was much artillery &c
tivity between Arracourt and the
Vosges. At daybreak, German
forces attacked the French lines
east OF Bleneroy and east of Badon-
viller. The Germans were re-
pulsed with heavy losses.

OFFICIAL WAR REPORT
BRITISH.

LONDON. March 25.-Today's Bri
ish war office statement says:
The battle continues with great
violence on the whole front.
Powerful attacks delivered by the
enemy yesterday afternoon and
evening north OF Bapaume were
heavily repulsed. Only at one
point did the German infantry
reach our trenches. whence they
were Immediately thrown out.
Elsewhere the enemy's attacks
were stopped by rife, machine
gun, and artillery fire in front OF
our positions, and his troops were
d. driven back with great loss.
During the night and this morn
ing fresh hostile attacks have
again developed in this neighbor-
hood, and also to the south Of
Bapaume.
South Of Peronne. bodies Of Ger

river between Licourt and Brie

been sent to the western front, but
whether they are being used in the
actual fighting or are being held in
reserve Is not known.
On the allied side British, French
and American soldiers are engaged
along the battle line, while Portu'
guese troops hold a sector of the line
Immediately north of the zone Of Of
Tense.
Two Points Emphasised.
All reports from the front today en-
phasized two things:
1. The severity of the German losses
in the fresh fighting that developed
on Sunday.
2. The gallantry of the British, who
were compelled to Withstand assaults
made by superior forces of troops fol-
lowing the most violent cannonades
known in warfare.
