NAVY STILL NEEDS
MEN FOR SPECIAL
SERVICE BRANCHES

Enlistments in the navy have been
somewhat slack for several days with
Recruiting Officer John Saladino off
the job due to illness, but now that
he is back on duty they are expected
to boom again.
Men are particularly needed in the
hospital corps and in the carpenter
aviation branches, although enlist
ments may be taken at this time in
a number of branches of the service
by men fitted for special work in the
navy.
Assisting Ma Saladino with the re-
eruiting is S. Hanson, whose head
quarters are in Ell Paso.
With those who have become 81
years of age since last June COMPEL
ed to register at an early date many
of this class of young men will take
advantage of their present opportuni-
" to enlist in the navy and either
learn a trade or else follow the work
which they are now doing in civilian
life.
Those who are qualified for service
in the navy in the special branches in
which enlistments are now urged will
be able 10 secure their releases from
their local draft boards by joining the
naval service or the reserve.

Did you ever know Of a puncher Of

right here in Bisbee by the seven

There is a famine of Bull Durham.
Right here. in the land OF the
makin's, where the brown papers and
the sack of Bull are as common as
the rocks on the hillsides, where every
other man and his brother roll their
own, there is scarce to be had a
sack OF the juicy smOkin'. Somethin'
must be wrong.
Tobacco stands throughout the dis
trict are practically out of Bull. When
their supplies will be replenished is
not known. But the Grand Canyon o!

This document stated that the ra

regiments to six British companies
and certainly the enemy outnumbered
the allies greatly.
The British division which made
such gallant stand at Givenchy
twice throwing the Germans out and
then holding the place, was recorded
as teIng very weak.

an iI:.ense Oombardment and then put

After an hour OF fighting the enemy
gained possession of the front line
east of Fauquissart, in the center o.
the sector involved. With the aid OF
further barrage they surged forward
and attacked the second line, which
they also occupied. 1t was IL o'clock
when the enemy pushed on in to Law
entIe. which rendered the situation at
Fleurbaix, on the north, very diff
ficult one.
Counter Attacks Win.
The Portuguese were holding the line
from near Laventie to Richebourg st.
Vaast, and here they chung until about
? clock in the afternoon when the
enemy made a charge against the open
ground against them. The defending

a line previously prepared. where tLey

North Of Laventie the enemy had sue

numbers, getting a footing in Estaires,
but this morning were thrown out by
a counter attack. During the night
a counter attack further north also
pushed the enemy back apparently to
the rIyer. Givenchy was the pivot OF
the battle and the most important

War Summary


American trops ale now reinforcing
the British line in France, along the
greater portion of which the Germans
are keeping up their strong attacks
with hordes of men and great concen-
tration of artillery in assaults that
now apparently have their objective
in the penetrating of the battle front
in northern France and Belgium.
1t was a happy lot of men that
swung into the sector chosen for them
and they were greeted with great en-
thusiasm.
From the south of Ypres in Bel
GUM to the region of La Bassee, IL
France. the new offensive OF thu Ger
mans is being carried on. with great
desperation, with thousands of men
advancing under cover of unprece-
dented bcmbardments of the allied
rear lines, endeavoring to pierce the
bravely defended fronts held by the
British and Portugese-and now also
at some unnamed points by Americans.
Drive New Wedge.
On several sectors of the new 20
mile salients have been driven by the
enemy. but in the process the Ger
mans nowhere have been able to
breake through, the line merely bend
ing back under the great pressure.
Particularly deep are wedges north
west of Armentieres and northwest
of La Bassee-salients which seem to
make certain the evacuation by the
British of Armentieres and to threaten
seriously the important railroad june
ton of Bethune.
British positions southwest of Ar
mentieres, lying between the rivers
Lys and Double, north of Armentieres
along the five-mile front between the
Bloegsteert wood and the Wytschaete-
Messines ridge, have been pressed
back by the Germans. East of La
Bassee, Givenchy hill, the key to Be
thune, has ben tenaciously held by the
British and the town of Givenchy re
taken, while to the north in the region
of Ypres the enemy's attacks against
the high ground about the Messines
hidge everywhere have been decisive
ly applauded. The British in recap
turing Givenchy made nearly a thou
sand Germans prisoner The latest
German official statement asserts that
between Armentieres and Estaires the
Germans have crossed the Lys river
and that north of Armentieres the Brit
ish line on both sides of Waasten-
Warneton have been penetrated. Six
thousand prisoners and one hundred
guns are claimed to have been taken
by the Germans in the fighting be-
tween Armanriepes and La Bassee
canal.
Shell Vimy Ridge.
The famous Vimy Ridge, won a
year ago by the Canadians, is receiv-
ing a prodisious visitation of shells
from. German batteries. The Cana
dams, however, with their usual CON-
placency, are awaiting an infantry at
tack, satisfied that they will again be
able to decisively defeat the enemy
and hold this important sector.
While the battle in the north has
been in progress the fighting south of
the Somme, where the British are
aligned against the Germans, has
been rather subdued. Not so, however,
on the sectors where the French and
Germans are disputing the occupancy
of terrain.
Assaults and counter attacks have
been going on around Hangard-Ei-
SauteIre, the village changing hands
many times. At last accounts the
French not alone held the village but
also the nearby cemetery.

MEXICANS KILLED
IN BORDER FIGHT
Rr Review Leased Wirel

FORT HANCOCK, Texas, April 10.
American cavalry and Mexican fed
eral troops face each other tonight
across the Rio Grande at the San Juan
mine ford eight miles southeast of
here and the challenges of the Next
can outposts may be heard from the
American side. The Mexicans are en-
trenched opposite here. They fired
on an American patrol last night.
Three Mexican cavalrymen were
known to have been killed today when
a machine gun detachment of cavalry
opened fire on the Mexican force op,
posite here, after the Mexicans had
fired approximately 100 shots at an
American patrol at the ford. Two
bursts of bullets were fired from the
machine gun when the Mexicans re-
tired from the river and were not
seen again.
Two Mexicans were also killed near
Ysleta today by United States troops.
Soon after the skirmish between the
Mexicans and American forces where
a column of Mexican cavalry appear
ed from the direction of Guadalupe,
west of here. The column was one
half mile long and it was estimated
to include 500 soldiers. The destina-
ton of these and other Mexican
troops moving down the river opposite
here is unknown, but United States
army officers have known for a week
of a general concentration of federal
troops in the Big Pend district east
of there and these troop movements
are thought to be a part of this con-
IF c
concentration is unknown it is be-
lieved by army officers that an
organized effort will be made to OPP
pose further invasions of Mexico by
American trops in pursuit of bandits.
Col. Geo. T Langhorne, commander
of the Big Bend district which includes
this section, is here in personal COM
mand.
Ell. PASO, Texas. April 10.-Two
Mexicans believed to be smugglers,
we're killed by American cavalrymen
today near Ysleta. u miles east of
here. According to the report of the
affair received at district military
headquarters, a party of 10 Mexicans
fired on the cavalry patrol. The fire
was returned and the Mexicans fled
mule dead on the field. No American
was hurt.
Consul General andres G. Garcia
will leave tomorrow morning for Fort
Hancock to investigate the reported
clash between American and Mexican
troops. Mr.. Garcia denied there were
any considerable number OF Mexican
troops along the river east of FL Paso.
He said a force of two hundred sol
diers were marching toward Ojiniga
and that these men probably had been
sighted by the Americans at Fort Han
cock. Ben. Jose Carlos Murgia, In
command of the Ojiniga garrison and
of the frontier district, arrived in

said he would remain there for at
