EL PASO, March 20.—If the Carranza I

Villa is a reasonable certainty. On three
sides he is hemmed in by .the Carranza

from the north cut him off on that side.
I LONDON, March 20.—Attention is to*
day drawn to the Balkans again by the
announcement that a strong coiumn of
French infantry with light artillery
from Saloniki has occupied three Gra-

Reuter dispatch from Sakmiki under
date of Saturday.
NEUTRAL ZONE ELIMINATED. A
Owing to the encroachment of tbe
Teutonic allies into Grecian territory,
and the consequent advance of the
French, the neutral zone agreed on
between the Greek and Bulgarian gov-
ernments early in the. Balkan lighting,
is now eliminated.
FIGHTING IN PROGRESS.
The dispatch adds that shelling, raid-
ing and hand-grenade fighting are In
progress near the villages, as on the
other fronts where adversary forces
are In contact.
Athens dispatches yesterday reported
that Bulgarian irregulars had crossed
th? Greek border and had been driven
back by Greek troops. The cutting of
communication between Greece and the
Central empires is attributed now to
the Bulgarians, who are reported to
have cut the wires between Monastir
ami Florina.

WASHINGTON, M?rch 20—General
Carranza has formally protested against
American troops occupying Casas Gran-
des in pursuit of Villa, and the Ameri-
can government has replied formally
that the troops have been ordered spe-
cifically not to occupy Casas Grandes or
any other towns’or cities of Mexico.
Protest and reply were included in
an exchange of notes between Acting
Secretary of State Polk of the State de-
partment and Eliseo Arredondo, Ambas-
sador-designate from Mexico to the
United States.

Mr. Polk declared today that the Unit-

had merely asked permission to trans-

No Uultfmatum.
Mr. Polk denied emphatically that the
request of the American government
was in any sense a demand or an ulti-
matum to Mexico.

WASHINGTON, March
tin.)—General Carranzas reply to the
United States for the use of Mexican
railroads was received today, and
stated that more informalion was
wanted on what the War Depart-
ment wants. The message was di-
rected to President Wilson. The in- •
formation will be furnished General
Carranza.
EL PASO, March 20—The railroad
problem overshadowed everything else
here today in the Mexican situation.
General Carranza's reply to the request
for permission to use the railroads of
Mexico is expected to he forwarded to
Washington today. A refusal will em-
barrass the operations of American sol-
diers, while granting the request will
be seriously misconstructed by a con-

From reliable sources it was stated

Fighting at Verdun has again slack-
ened, only infantry attacks being re-
ported. One attack by the Germans on
the French at Pepper Hill was reported
unsuccessful by the French War Of-
fice statement. Artillery action has been
intermittent.
A war conference of probably momen-
tous importance opens tomorrow at
Paris, where military and political rep-
resentatives of the entente alies will
gather.
Night Report.
With the slackening of the fighting
around Verdun, the Russians have
started a hig offensive movement

front. A raid by German seaplanes on
the east coast of England and by

German-towns, the sinking of a French
torpedo boat destroyer by a submarine
in the Adriatic, and the reported sink-
ing of an Austrian hospital ship by an
entente underwater boat are reported
in official and unofficial communica-
tions.
Attack on Y'aux Repulsed.
Saturday the Germans in the Vaux-
Damloup sector, northeast of Verdun,
began another spirited attack, but the
French, bringing their curtain of fire
into play, drove the Teutons back. The
attack was not pushed again during
Sunday and only intermittent bombard-
ments took place.
Berlin reports the recapture of some
