t EYEHItf, LBD.aBB-PmLrAPfl3feHIA.. THtTft MAY llr 1916- FRENCH CROSH VAUX ASSAULT WITH Stubborn Defense Hurls , B&ck Germans North I east of Vdrdun CHAMPAGNE GUNS BUSY PAtltS, May 11. Frenth troops repulsed with bayonets attd grenades an attack dtlvred by the Germane tariy this m6rnlng west of the Vau Pond, northeast of Verdun. On the west bank of th Meuse only artillery ac tivity occurred during- last night, the war Omca reported, the Germans falling to return the attack. French artillery throughout last night displayed unusual activity In the Cham pagne "region, concentrating Its fire on German positions southeast of Tahurc. About 110 yards of German trenches were destroyed. . . . , ,. Four French war planes bombarded the railway stations at Demvltlers and Etaln last night, setting Are to a railway depot. Though German artillery continues active on the west bank of the Meuse, evidently In preparation for renewed at tacks, the Impression Is again growing In the French capital that tho Germans are preparing to abandon the attack on Verdun. In this connection the state ment spread broadcast by the German eemlomclal news agency yesterday with reference to tho number of troops Invoked was cited. French odlcers ridiculed the statement that 800,000 French troops were engaged at Verdun. They said the German Gov ernment undoubtedly caused such a state ment to be published to prove to the Ger man people that the Crown Prince was confronted with tremendous obstacles at Verdun, thus explaining the failure of his Attempt to tako the fortress. The tenacity with which the' French have held their positions at erduu Is re vealed in a eemlomclal statement Issued today In denial of a report published yes terday by the Matin saying that General Joflre" at the beginning of the battle of Verdun ordered the eastortl bank of the Meuse evacuated, but that General Cas. telnau countermanded that order when he reached Verdun. "At no moment during the Verdun battle," says the statement, "did the high commander order the French troops to retire to the left, bank of the Meuse. On the contrary, on the morning of ebru ory 23 Oeneral Langlo de Cary notified the troops on the right bank that tho oc cupation of all points, even when out flanked, and of all hills, even when com 'nletely surrounded, must be maintained at all costs, nnd that there must bo only one order, 'Hold on.' "On February 24, the commander-in-chief Issued orders to hold the front be tween tho Meuse and Woevre plains by the employment of all available means. He Immediately sent General CaBtolnau to Verdun. ... "On the morning of February 25, while en route to Verdun, General Castelnau telephoned to General Herr that, con formable with the commander-in-chiefs order, the right bank of tho Meuse must be held at all costs. "Finally, on the evening of tho same day, the commander-in-chief sent Gon eral Petaln the following order when ho took up the command: " 'Yesterday 1 gave orders for holding the right bank of tho Meuse north of Ver dun. Any chief who gives an order to retreat will be court-martialed.' " BE1U.IN. May 11. French troops were ropulsed In two at tacks northwest of Verdun yesterday, the War Office announced this afternoon. The text of the announcement follows: West of the MeuBe the French again attacked near Dead Man's Hill In tho aftdrnoon and at night southwest of Hill 30. Both attacks broke down under machine gun fire and our ar tillery curtain fire with considerable losses for the enemy. A Bavarian patrol In tho Canvird forest captured 54 French soldiers. Since May 4, French prisoners cap tured around Hill 304 total 53 officers and 1515 men. On the west bank of the Mouse dur ing the whole night hand grenade combats occurred In the region of Caillette forest. A French attack In the forest was repulsed. German aeroplanes bombarded Dun kirk and the railroads near Adlnklrke. REICHSTAG PASSES MEASURE TO RESTORE RUINED VILLAGES BERLIN. May 11.

COIonla Dublsn Is A slrorigly fortified base And the line be tween that point and Columbus Is pre pared to resist attempts to cut off com munications.

The demands will be met as far as pos sible with the mllltlA and additional regu lars, Funstrin said. ' Ono report today said the American conferees were Instructed to demand from Obregon CnrrAii2a's ratification of the agreement. Unless he could bring this to tho con ference today, or bring a written counter proposalthe stipulation being strictly that It be In wrltlngj-GenerAl Scott would return at once to Washington and General Funston would leae for San Antonio to direct a new expedition, Redistribution of the American expeditionary forces would begin at once. The chief point of the American argu ment 13 that no definite time shall be set for tho withdrawal of American troops. Any counter-proposal Cnrratua may for ward through Obregon will be considered an long ns It docs not ask for a definite date of withdrawal Ab Obregon, over In Juarez, prepared with his staff to attend tho conference word camo from Washington that Oar ranza had laid beforo tho State Depart ment the alternative of a definite with drawal and negotlatlnps for n lieu- treaty botween the two nations. It was at once reported that Obregon would attempt to force the same Issue beforo the American generals 111 HI Paso. Such an attempt, It was reported, would end the conference Immediately. With the prospect of facing two expedi tionary forces in Ills countiy, I'arrnnza may glvo considerable thought to the terms of tho contract with which 1'roHt dent Wilson has announced his satisfaction, COAST GUARD CUTTER FLOTILLA READY FOR BLOCKADING DUTV Fast Armed Vessels Assigned by Gcnornl Board of Navy WASHINGTON, May 11.

PRESIDENT LOSES PATIENCE WITH CARRANZA, SAYS REPORT Wilson Determined to Continue Hunt For Villa and Band WASHINGTON'. May 11. Pending the outcomo of the conference between Gen eral Scott and General Obregon at El Paso, tho State Department has instructed all Consuls in northern Mexico again to warn Americans that disturbed conditions exist nnd suggest thnt they leave the country. This order supplements those that have been Issued from time to time in the Inst two yenrs. It Is desired that all Americans be duly warned of the ex isting situation. The New York World correspondent hero says he Is able to state that Presi dent Wilson's patlonce has been ex hausted as far as Carranza Is concerned and he has no Intention of humoring him in the present situation. The President appears to be satisfied that Carranza's obstinacy muBt be met by absolute firm ness on the part of this government. WASHINGTON TELLS AMERICANS TO QUIT TROUBLED MEXICO Government Anxiously Waits Result of Scott-Obregon Parley WASHINGTON, May 11. New warn ing to Americans to quit Mexico has been forwarded to consuls by the State De partment, It was officially admitted to dav. This action was taken by calling their attention to orders hitherto given. Officials hoped today that General Scott would bo able to prevail on Obregon t meet the United. States terms at the con ference at Kl Paso today. The question of limiting the, time oi stay of the American punitive expeditlor appeared from Scott's messages still to bi the chief difficulty. Secretary Baker took an optimistic view of the situation after Scott's latest word last night. From a high official came the state ment that Obregon and Cnrranza might be endeavoring to grasp a political ad vantage from the conference, but In every Ninth "Wo Am I and " " - I A XXT 1 IV l-UCUSl wonting v. sts. for Your Interest" Lowest Rates in This City Strictly Confidential Burglar-proof Protection FIDELITY LOAN CO, i'iib.

Thej were troubled, however, by reports o A new attack against Blocker's ranch, in the Big Bend country. The patrol, when fully reinforced by the mllltla, Infantry, doAst and Held ar tillery, probably will bd sufficiently strong to prevent bandit rAVAges. Developments which caused massing of new troops along the border were re sponsible for the rettetation of the, warn lug to get out of Mexico. While oftl clnts Inclined to believe that General Scott's conference with Oeneral Obregot might be satisfactory, the Mexican Insist ence upon a time limit for th stay of Americans caused an uneasiness which resulted In the double move. Reports compiled several weeks agi showed there Are fewer thAn 3000 Amer leans remaining In Mexico. This number probably has been reduced since the cen sus wao taken. ALL NATIONAL GUARDS ORDERED TO DE READY War Department Sends Directions to Every State WASHINGTON, May II. Tho National Guard of every State In the Union has receled orders from the Wnr Department to hold Itself In readiness for duty on the Mexican border. It was stated that this Is merely a pre cautionary move, nnd that ns yet there Is tothlng upon which to bnso the assump tion that the guard will be ordered out. That will depend entirely upon develop ments Tho preliminary arrangements for the mobilization ot the various dhlslons of the National Guard hae been made. Pcnn lylvnnla will mobilize at Mount Gretnn, unless some reason nppenra to chnngo the place from that determined by the Wnr Department Transportation hns been looked nfter, nnd tho commander of every regiment knows how long It will tnka to entrnln his men nnd get them started for the mobilization point. Word has reached here that tho pros pect of the National Gunrd being cnlled Into active service has stimulated an in terest In the mllltla, and companies are being recruited to their mnxlmutn strength.

Beyond tho river both motortrucks nnd pack trains will have to be used. Cap tain Chambers has asked for a full com pany of 27 motortrucks. Ha has but nlno now, and unless the etrn trucks are hur tled In Jlnjor Iangliorne's flying col umn will have very short rations for men nnd mounts ns they advance from ,the Boquillas supply depot. Tho unknown fate of James Deemei. furnishes an additional reason for speed In this bandit chase Dcemer, a store keeper on the American side of the river near Boquillas, Is respected 'throughout the Big Bend country. He was last seen Saturday, perched on ton of tho loot of his store, piled on a wagon he had for sale and drawn by mules tho bandits had stolen. Ho was calmly smoking his pipe. He may have been murdered since, but probably he Is still a prisoner. The army men want to save Deemer, and the bor der Americans are thinking mostly of tho expedition as an effort to rescue him. LONDON, May ll. Under Secre tary for War Tcnnant announced In the House of Commons (his afternoon that 14 persons had been executed for the revolt In Ireland, 73 had been sentenced to penal servitude and six condemned to hard labor. ' Those deported from Ireland totaled 1706, Tcnnant added. Premier Asqulth gave the first state ment on the casualties in the revolt when he 'addressed Parliament. He said (hat to Tuesday 180. had been killed and 614 wounded. , LONDOtf. May 11. Thomas Kent the 14th Irish leader to be executed by shooting, probably will be tho last to pay the death penalty unless Sir Bogcr Casement Is convicted of trea son, It was stated today. Kent was shot nt Queenstown Tuesday, said nn official statement Issued nt Dub lin enrly today. He was found guilty of "Inciting rebellion" In tho vicinity of Fer moy. County Cork. Kent wan the first separatist executed outside Dublin. Ills brother, arrested with him, was acquitted. There was much speculation today as to the probable successor of Baron Wlm borne, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who resigned yesterday becauae of the Dublin outbreaks. Under Secretary , for War Harold J. Tennant, Lord Derby, the Duke of Devonshire and Winston Churchill, former First Lord of the Admiralty, wero mentioned In connection with the post. A royal commission to Investigate tho Irish rebellion has been named. Pre mier Asqulth admitted that an Irish edi tor, F. Shechy Skctnngtoii, nnd two othT Journalists, hnd been shot In Dublin under such circumstances ns to Jus tify the court-martialing of a British officer, and, 'finally, tho Irish parliamen tary party issued a manifesto to tho peo ple of Ireland, calling upon them to sup port the constitutional movement as the only ono by which their aspirations for solf goNcrnmeut could possibly be realized. nCSENTMENT GROWING FAST. Of these Important events by far tho most sensational wns (ho revelation con cerning Skcfllngtoti, which formed the climax of tho fast-growing resentment of the Irish people at tho continuance of ex ecutions In Dublin, which has already given the Government pause nnd Induced Premier Asqulth to give nn undertaking that, although there aro two rebels still awaiting execution, there will be no moro occutlons pending the parliamentary dis cussion promised for today on demand of tho veteran Nationalist, John Dillon. While thero Is considerable difference of opinion as to whether. It Is safo to revoko martial law In Ireland yet, and many members of both houses are satisfied that Major General Sir John Maxwell's sever ity was fully Justified, tho Skeftlngton In cident causes Indignation. Ho was shot on April 26. Martial law came Into opera tion on April 28. The Premier Informed the House that Sir Roger Casement, w ho was captured on attempting to land in Ireland to lead tho rebellion, would be placed on trial on Monday. Lord Loreburn Introduced a motion ex pressing dissatisfaction with the adminis tration of Ireland. Coilnt Marklevlcz, whoso wife, the Countess Marklevlcz, uas sentenced to death, bdt later had tho death sentence commuted to life Imprisonment for par ticipating In the Dublin outbreaks, ex pressed complete Indifference when in formed of the Countess' fate, according to Petrograd dispatches today. Marklevlcz Is serving with a Russian hussar regiment. He separated from his wlfo a few years ago partly because 'of her connection with the Irish movement. "Another tragedy." says tho National ist manifesto, published last night, "has been added to the long tale of tragedies of Irish history, The capital of ire.ano -beeri the scene etKmA nnd 1 n"feuJ attempt at reVoluttort. Blood Has been shed freely.

But It Is also true that. In pile of . ... ....miIaiii. iha nAnnle of Ireland have had no hesitation In condemning tho rising In Dublin as a. dangerous blow at the heart afid hopes of Ireland. PEpPLG MOST DRAW CONCLUSIONS. "On the morrow of this tragedy wa feel called upon to make a solemn appeal to rri t. tr.innrt rt dmw t ho conclu sions which theso events force upon! them. We must leave' no misunderstanding in their minds as to"our convictions and ,our resolvos. Kither Ireland Is to be given dver to unsuccessful retdlullon and an archy or the constitutional movement is to have the full support of tho Irish peop e and go on until It has completed Its work." . Tho manifesto recalls the futile efforts to secure redress of Irish wrongs by revo lutionary methods, nnd traces at lcngtn the progress made by constitutional metn ods Inaugurated by Butt and Parnell, which finally resulted In placing on tn statute books "the greatest and largest .,! nt frlnh self.aovernment ever proposed and 6ver achieved." "If, then, the constitutional movement has triumphantly vindicated Itself." the manifesto continues, "and If, on tho other hand, the revolutionary moxement has shown Itself to be at onco futile and dis astrous, have we not the right to ask the people of Ireland to Bland by the con stitutional movemont and to uphold It until Its entire mission Is accomplished? Have we not the right to call on men In all stations of life In Ireland, who havo the duty and tho power to guide the de cisions of tho people, to make a strong, united nppcal to the peoplo to chooso tho wise and oppose the Insane course of Irish pollcy7" The manifesto concludes as follows: "The time for hesitation Is now past. Wo repeat that the country stands fnco to face with tho alternative of futile revo lution and anarchy or of tho maintenance of tho constitutional movement by full and vigorous support of tho tr.Bh people. Kach Irish nationalist has to put before himself these alternatives. "We hao no doubt what the course of the Irish peoplo will b. but It la on thnt answer thnt the constitutional movement and our future conduct must depend. If tho people do not want tho constitutional movement they do not want us. Without their actlvo support, wo should bo en. gaged In an Impossible task. With their support wo can complete tho fabric of Irish reform and Irish liberty which wo have been building up for tho last cen tury. "We shall realize all the reforms and all tho hopes wo and our predecessors In tho constitutional movemont havo held out to them ; we shall lead tho Irish peo ple Into tho Parliament house for which they havo boen praying and working for moro than a century."
