ed as I he result of bandit riots lu
the vicinity of Sonora. This mes
sage was caught by the wireless of

FOOD SHORTAGE TELLS
01 VILLA'S RANKS
Mexico, Apri! 13 — That Villa
and li»s few followers are in dire
need of supplies ami rations, is
the op in ion of the war JiNp4iitment.
Grncr«l Herrera has received an of
ficial rtport frcrn Guarrero that
Villa wit" a small baud of bandits
is IletniK southward. Ha has but
very fc v followers and they are
badly armod, have but few rouivJs
of ammunition and are short of
rations. It is the? belief of the
Mexican generals, that unless he
receives aid from some prominent
Mexico 11 leader, ttu-t lie will not
be able to withstand his pursuers
many mare days. Soma of the men
in his ranks are shoeless and a
great i»art of them wero without
hats. Froni the looks of the small
band <uey must have undergone
some rigid marching and extreme
hardships.
FiSlQH WORRIED OVER
UNHINEBS OF AMERICAN 1R00PS
iaa Antonio, April 13—Uulesa
the work as outlined by the war de
partment is accomplteiieC in a
- few days in the Mexican expedition.
Funstcu will ask the department to
move bodies of troops, which are
now stationed at other points in
tt>e Uni'ed States, into Mexico to
strengthen and help the entangled
American forces. Funston is be
coming worried at the failure of
the American troopa to master the
Mexii&n situation.
It was thought by the war de
partment that Mexico could be
handled in a few days; but from
tht- length. of time It has taken
them to make headway and the hor
rible failures they have made iu
recent engagements, Funston ibe
lieves that it will take an additional
force *o quell the rioters and bring
to justice, the bandits of Mexico. It
is his p4an to station the militia
at the posts and fcrrts from which
the iegulars are taken. That this
a"ill leave forts and barracks in
the hands of green and partially
trained men is the opinion of the
war department and some little dif
ficulty may arise between the de
partment and Funston over the re
quest for a different policy.

LULL 1 FIGHTING HI VERDUN
GERMS PME NEW ATTACK
London, April 13—There is a
lull in the fighting: at Verduu by
the Germans. Until recently they
have poured a steady stream of
slioi dfii! ahfll into the city. At
times ilio city has been in flames
from t ■ fire aboil thrown in upon
the defenders.
The latest maneuvers of the Ger
mans seem to make the French of
ficials believe that they are as
sembling their forces to attack dead
mans hilL At present the French
hold 'ho trenches a-round the city
which puts up a battle front of
over twenty miles. Tha French,
claim that the configuration of the
ground makes their present line im
pregnable by the Germans.
The Germans have gained from
three to five miles on a front of
about fifteen miles, but have taken
only one ring of forts around the
city This ring is the advance
fortifications and by no means the
strong part of the defense.
New York, April 13—Four men
have teen Arrested and are being
held in the city bastiie, pending an
investigation, of cliargcs which have
been lodged against them of plac
ing fire bombs on ships which were

loaded with munitions of war for
the Allies was inspected by the of
ficer in charge and seven fire
bombs were found on board. The
bombg were timed to explode and
thereby set fire to the shig when
the ship would have been a thous
and miles out in the Atlantic ocean.
Three of the men have been
traced and It has been found that
they were employed on German
steamship lines before the war. The
qther man haa not as yet been
traced. All show the appearances
of bc-iug German bred.
