iThlrd Expedition, Following
t First 5500 Advance, Planned
From El Paso
The "flying column" of American
troops, marching into Mexico to "get
Francisco Villa, (lend or nlivc," was
fired on by Mexican guerrillas shortly
after crossing tho border from Colum
bus, N. M. Tho troopers, suffering
bo casualties, easily dispersed the out
laws and continued their advanco
jouthward.
Approximately 5500 United States
soldiers are now well within Mexican
territory, n force of -1000, under com
mand of General John .1. Pershing,
having left Columbus, and n detail of
1600 having left the Hnchitn region,
under command of Colonel Dodd. A
third section is expected soon to leave
El Pnso.
The point of concentration of the
three converging columns is said to bo
Guzman, on tho Mexican Northwestern
Railroad, about sixty miles south of
v Columbus.
Following the burning of Colonia
Dublan, a Mormon colony, Villistas
are reported moving on the settle
ment of 500 of tho Mormons at Casas
Grandcs, vowing death to all. Word
ofthe menace was taken to El Paso
by a son of Bishop Hurst. Aid is said
r,to bo too far away to prevent the at
tack.
American troops guarding the rail
road bridgo at Kingston, Tex., in tho
Brownsvillo district, were attacked by
a small band of outlaws, who were re
pulsed, with no American losses. Tho
guards have been doubled.
' A band of armed Mexicans across

are on guard.

The United States destroyer Stew-

there. Quiet was reported upon the
warship's arrlvnl.
American colonists, togethor with

No confirmation has been received
of reports that Carranzistas are act

that will be given the campaign.

Official announcement was made today
that Admiral Alfred von Tirpltz, German
Minister of Marine, has resigned because
of Illness.
Admiral von Capelle, DIreetor of the Ad
ministration Department of the Admiralty,
(-has been appointed successor to Admiral
von Tirpltz.
Rumors of Admiral von TIrplU's resig
nation had been In circulation for 34 hours
befoie the announcement was made, the
unofficial reports attributing the navy
chief's departure from, the Admiralty to
the Inactivity of the Meet. It Is believed
that the submarine policy of the Govern
ment will etand.
Admiral von Tirpltz has been accused
by his enemies of being the father of the
"policy of frlgptfulness." IIo waa tho
originator of submarine blockade, but is
understood to have consistently opposed
the departure of the German high seas
fleet from the Kiel Canal.
"In some quarters it la believed the res
ignation of Grand Admiral von Tirpltz
la connected with the Kaiser's decision
not to extend submarine warfare beyond
the limits announced to neutrals In the
recent memorandum, and not to direct it
against neutral ships," said the Bemlofll
clal news agency today.
It was also reported that Admiral von
Tirpltz had been compelled to resign by
the Kaiser to avoid dismissal, but this
was contrary to the information conveyed
In the official statement.
The resignation of the Minister of
Marine was a thunderbolt to Germany,
According to press reports, the Admiral
Is ill from overwork and anxiety, and
this has been aggravated by disappoint

shot by bandits at Germania
Mills, Kensington, who died today.
"Walter Ilaupt, second victim of the gun
men who killed Hennwn Hastening, pay
master of the Gerrnaida Worsted Mills,
Indiana avenue and A street, died today.
Ills death has added to the grlet of Kast
ening's widow, who prayed dally that
Ilaupt would be spared so that she might
hear from him the details of the crime
or the last words uttered by her husband.
The only streak of sunshine In the trouble
which has come to the families of the
murdered men Is provided by the work
men's compensation act.
Under the terms of the law, Kastening's
widow and daughter have a right of re
covery, while the parents, brothers or
sisters of Ilaupt, who waa unmarried, can
also bring an action. While no negligence
waa Bhown on the part or the company,
and It was not the fault of their employers
that the men were attacked, the fact that
they were Injured In the performance of
their duty Is enough ground to recover,

Golf In the morning, horseback riding In
the afternoon and dancing In the evening;
these are the diversions that mako up the

ice In the forenoon, but the rule Is tho
other way about.
Senator Vara Is sticking close to the
Mayor, though the other members of the
party usually go their own way. Tho men
generally play alone and the ladles of the
Vlsting group And their own fun. They
aren't very keen about golf or horsebaci
riding either, and a carriage ride, which
by the way is much more popular down
here than motoring, seems to suit them.
Little Frederick Smith, about 10, is
nearly always with his father, and he, the

A course of Government competition, he

"It is true," he said, "the Government

SCHIEDAM, Holland, March 16. Two thousand bales of American cotton,
