Secretary Baker and General Scott
said the order was unchanged; that
no new or supplemental order had
been given and that General Funston
had not yet reported that the Ameri-
can expedition's object had been at-
tained. It was recalled that on the
day the troops crossed Secretary
Baker said their object was to "cap-
ture or disperse" the bandits who
raided Columbus.
Secretary Lansing also Issued a
statement today saying he knew of
no intention to withdraw the troops.
He also said no intimation had conie
from the Carranza government that
the de facto government officials
thought General Pershing had ac-
complished his mission and should re-
turn to United States Territory.
It was stated officially today that
General Funston's orders were broad
enough to include dealing personally
with Villa in case he should be en-
countered.
Satisfaction with the transporta-
tion situation was indicated at the
war and state departments today.
Witfl private shippers getting sup-
plies through on the Mexican rail-
ways, ultimately available to the
American troops, Secretary Lansing
believes the railway situation has
ceased to be a factor.

Perching Moves South.
General PeTshing was officially re-
ported to have left his temporary
headquarters on the San Geronimo
ranch and gone south towards Satevo,
nouth of which the greater part of the
•Tenth cavalry Is operating. Col. W. C.
Brown, at the head of those troops
was known to be searching every trail
und investigating every story as to the
whereabouts of Villa or his followers.
Supporting forces have been moved
forward along the line of communica-
tions and in the event of a serious en-
gagement reinforcements could be
sent forward without great loss of
time. From Columbus to Satevo, Gen-
eral Pershing is known to have main-
tained a compact military organiza-
tion, and the only regret at headquar-
ters here has been the inability to
supply his column adequately for the
maintenance of so many men along

increase the volume of supplies de-

and by more than that many men.

El Pago, Tex , April 8.—Placards
headed "important telegram" have
been posted conspicuously in Juarez
at the order of General Gavira, con-
taining the extracts from the treaty of
1848 made between the United States
and Mexico, providing for the arbi-
tration of disputes. The placards
state that the first chief has commu-
nicated this extract to the Mexican
ambassador in Washington. It is said
that the object of the placards is to
allay war rumors among the people.
Villistas are reported in the neigh-
borhood of Satevo by General Gutier-
rez, commanding at Chihuahua, in a
telegram today to General Gavira. He
said Generals Zuazua, Garza and Mal-
donado were advancing against the
rear guard, right and left flanks re-
spectively.
An official of the de facto govern-
ment said today that five men, now
prisoners in Juarez are being held as
the local leaders of the frustrated plot
to capture that town while the insti-
gator of the whole affair is a wealthy
Mexican now in refuge in Texas. The
rest of the prisoners, he said, rvrc
merely tools. The five leaders are
said to have confessed In the hope of
leniency.
The plot, according to these alleged
confessions, was aimed at Americans.
During the band concert in the plaza
last Sunday evening which it was safe
to surmise would be attended by all
classes including the soldiers off duty,
the conspirators intended to open fire
on all Americans in sight and Imme-
diately rush the barracks and seize the
arm?. They then were to attack the
American ptarol at the International
bridge and other points. Their ob-
ject was said to be not so much to
overthrow the Carranilstas as to force
American intervention, which the con-
spirators believed would end tho Car-
ranza regime and restore peace With
guarantees of security of preperty, in-
cluding the great estates now confis-
cated.
Some apprehension was caused in
Juarez today by a report circulated
among them by supposedly Villista
sympathizers that President Wilson
intended to take the Mexican rail-
ways by force if permission for their
use was refused by Carranza.

Germans Gain Information From
Frcncb Prisoners «f W ar.
Berlin, April 7—(Via London,
April 8.)—Information obtained from
French prisoners and orders found
on them indicate, according to Ger-
man correspondents in the Verdun
region, that the French are fully
aware of the importance of every
yard of territory in their salient
whose northeasternmost point is
Bethincourt, now the only village ,of
this section of the battle front re-
maining in their hands. French
troops have been ordered to hold
every inch of ground with all the
force at their command, the corre-
spondents say, and every German
gain is registered only in the face
of desperate resistance. The char-
acter of the territory is well suited to
defensive purposes. Assailing forces)
are obliged to storm over open ridges
which are flanked by forests in
which large numbers of skilfully
built-in and concealed machine guns
are located, protected by barbed wire
and other hindrances to a hostile ad-
vance.
The German conquest of Haucourt,

band of VIII amen in the vicinity of
Torreon. Some apprehension has
been felt that Villa might yet succeed
In joining forces with Reyes, thus
making much more dificult his cap-
ture.
SECRETARY BAKER'S DENIAL
No Intention of Withdrawing Troops
From Mexico.
Washington, April 8—Secretary
Baker Informally denying today that
Immediate withdrawal from Mexico
of the American expeditionary force
was contemplated, indicated that the
war department had Information that
the United States troops were close
upon Villa's trail and that the expedi-
tion might soon accomplish its pur-
pose.
"The object of the expedition was
stated when it was undertaken," said
Secretary Baker. "It never has been
changed. No other orders have been
given arid the expedition Is busily
pursuing it now with what, I hope,
is a fair chance of early success."
Reports that preparations for with-
drawal were under way were declared
by Mr. Baker to have "absolutely no
basis of any kind." All the war de-
partment's plans for pursuing the
chase were progressing actively, ho
declared, an order being placed only
today for fifteen gasoline carrying
motor trucks for General Pershing's
campaign. The American forces were
"pushing ahead," he said, but gave
no details of the operations.
Publication today of the text of the
original army order to cross the bor-
der a month ago revealed that no
specific direction to capture or kill
Villa was included. The order, made
public by Major General Scott, chief
of staff, stated that the work of the
United States would "bo regarded fin.
l&hcd as soon as Villa's band or
bands are known to be broken up"
and thut the Americans would with-
idraw "as soon an the de facto *ov-
EL»PASO, Tex., April 8.—To save
the life of Lieut. Col. Tyree Rivers of
the Thirteenth cavalry, who is dan-
gerously 111 with pneumonia at the
Casas Grandes field base, an effort
will be made to have him brought to
El Paso as a private citizen over the
Mexican Northwestern railway, It was
announced today. Colonel Rivers
wTas born in Mississippi in 1862 and
was appointed to West Point from
Tennessee.
Army officials here do not regard
with apprehension the announcement
from Queretaro that the Mexican
had not granted the
Fronteras, twenty-nine miles south of
Douglas toward the Chihuahua bor-
der, had been practically completed by
the de facto Mexican troops. Today-
there remained in Fronteras less than
one hundred men as a garrison.
The rest are concentrated around
Colonia Morelos, to which point
1,800 cavalry went from Fronteras
during the week, benig followed by
more than 2,000 infantry, the Ameri-
cans say. Other troops previously sta-
tioned In that locality and reported
officially from time to time by Agua
Prieta officials and the local Mexi-
can consulate, increase the total
known available de facto forces along
the Bavispe river, near Chihuahua
mountain passes to approximately
6,000.
Solving Transportation Problem.
Columbus, N. M., April 8.—Forty
trailers for trucks in operation be-
tween Columbus and Casas Grandes
were put in commission here today.
Military authorities here said that the
trailers, if successful, will do much
to relieve inadequate transportation
facilities by doubling the carrying
capacity of each truck train and re-
leasing for service in mountains south
of the Casas Grandes valley, the
wagon trains now being used to sup-
plement the trucks.
Smoot Sarcastic
at the Expense of
Democratic Solons
American war department permis-
sion to ship supplies over the Mexi-
can railways.
It was pointed out this privilege
has not been denied by the de facto
government to prviate parties.
As a result of the liberty extended
to Americans business concerns enough
hay and oats have been shipped out
of Juarez to Casas Grandes this week
to feed the horses and mules of the
expeditionary force an entire week.
Enough coffee and sugar has been
freighted to last the American troops
ten days and other supplies have
been forwarded in preparation.
It is known that there Is no bah
on commercial shipments via the
Mexican Central railway. That this
road had not been used before has
been duo to the fact that the privi-
lege has not been extended for the
use of the Mexican Northwestern
westward from Chihuahua City to
Guerrero and intermediate points.
If, however, General Pershing
establishes a new base at Chihuahua
City there will be no need of the
railroad west of that point. The
army motor trucks could be used to
distribute supplies from tho Chi-
huahua base.
Peace Conference Arranged.
Torreon, Mex., April 8.—(Via El
Paso Junction).—Word has been re-
ceived from the peace commission
that went to arrange for the sur-
render of General C'anuto Reyes and
other Villa leaders that a conference
will bo held Sunday. If this Is sat-
isfactory, the message said, Reyes
and his supporters will come to Tor-
reon on Monday under an American
grant.
Some Villa men made prisoners by
the forces of General Trevino had a
letter from Villa In which he urged
them "to arise against the northern
invaders."

arriving from Sonora today said that

WASHINGTON, April 8.—A pro-
vision to abolish the title of coun-
sellor of the state department and
create instead the position of under-
secretary of state, was voted Into the
annual legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill today with-
out opposition, just before it passed
the senate. As passed, the bill car-
ries $38,19C,762, an increase of about
half a million over the total as it
passed the house.
Senator Smoot congratulated tho
democrats upon acceptance of tho
amendment for changing the counsel-
lor's title, adding that when the re-
publicans, several years ago, at-
tempted to make the same change,
"the democrats spent many days try-
ing to show the absurdity of it."
The house has yet to pass upon the
provision.

Berlin, April 8.—(By Wireless to
Sayville.)—Further successes for tho
Austrians along the Austro-ltaliii u
front are announced in today's of-
ficial statement from Vienna. The
statement says:
"In the Doberdo sector the Ital-
ians were driven from some of their

Riva.
"By counter attacks an enemy de-
tachment was ejected from a sap on
the southern slope of Rochetta.
"The number of prisoners taken at
the Rauchkofel has increased to three
officers and 100 men. All the other
Italians who were engaged at this
place fell In the hand to hand strug-
gle.
"Austro-Hungarian* squadrons of
land and naval aeroplanes attacked
the railway stations at Casarza and
San Giorgio dl Nogaro with visible
success. Three of the raisers who

of Beauvraignes.

metal fragments actually were re-
moved from the Sussex. Every ef-
fort is being made to secure evidence
which will establish beyond all doubt
the origin of the fragments.
Official- reports regarding the an-
nouncement of the German govern-
ment as cabled to the United Stales
in press dispatches from Berlin were
lacking tonight. The press report
was accepted as being true.
The news dispatches were laid be-
fore President Wilson, upon his re-
turn from bis trip down the Potomac.
Should the United States fail to
make out a case on the Sussex, there
remains many other disasters to he
explained by the Berlin government.
President Wilson and Secretary Lan-
sing have asked ^Ambassador Gerard
regarding other ships recently meet-
ing with disaster;
Secretary Lansing has allowed it to
become known that statements re-
garding the finding of the alleged
torpedo fragments might be accepted
by the United States should there be
sufficient reliable corroboration.

NEW YORK, April 8.—Frederick
C. Tanner will continue to be chair-
man of the New York state repub-
lican committee. An attempt by fol-
lowers of Wm. Barnes to oust him
from that position at a meeting of
the committee here today for pur-
poses of organisation was defeated
82 to «3. State Senator C. W. Wicka
was the Barnes candidate.
The vote was generally regarded as
a test of strength in the committee
between the supporters respectively,
of Justice Charles E. Hughes and
former Senator Elihu Root for tho
presidency. The Tanner faction, backed
by Governor Whitman, Is known to
favor the nomination of Hughes and
the Barnes followers, who were led
today by United States Senator J. W.
Wadsworth, are supporters of Root.
