Held In Readiness After Carranza Warning That Villa Forces Are on the March.

BULLETIN.

EL PASO, Tex., July 8.—Carranza forces expect to give battle today to the Villa bandits who raided Jiminez, Chihuahua, according to a dispatch received by General Gonzales, in Juarez, from Gen. Trevino, commanding the army of the north.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 8—For more than two hundred miles eastward from El Paso, American troops were being held In readiness today to move to any point on the border that might be threatened by the newly organized bandits in Chihuahua.

Early morning reports to General Punston added nothing, however, to the rumors ot yesterday, most important oi which was the warning rrom the de facto government of Mexico that bandits who defeated Carranza soldiers near Jiminez were believed to be moving northward toward Opinaga, opposite Presidio, Tex.

Colonel Gaston, in command of the American forces in the Big Bend district, was authorized by General Funston to make such disposition of his troops as he deemed wise to prevent bandits crossing the river. He has at Presidio and at stations east-and west of Presidio a considerable force, including the Sixth cavalry, his own regiment and the Fourth Texas infantry.

Although taking all precautions and not minimizing the reports that Villa himself is at the head of the new organization of bandits, army officers today were not inclined to believe the bandits will attempt any movement in force towards the north, especially if led by Villa. The opinion of army officers generally was that the bandits would confine their activity for a time I in harassing the Carranza troops north of Chihuahua City and move north and

1

west towards Durango and southwest of Chihuahua, old haunts of Villa. i General Pershing's retirement from -points in this region would leave the pursuit there to Carranza's army that i has closed in as Gen. Pershing's army moved northward.

Zeppelin Torpedo Failed To Explode

AFTER A BOMBARDMENT.

This photograph shows the type of huge, ugly torpedoes that the Zeppelins project upon, the enemy in their soaring bombardments of trenches, woodlands where companies, have sought hiding places^and protection, and upon clumps of foliage that perchance mask enemy batteries.

These projectiles weigh more than 500 pounds each, and notice is to be taken of the four flanges on the tail which serve to carry the torpedo on a steady course, after the manner of a dart. The big torpedoes, any one of

In this instance the loamy condition of the ground in the peaceful woods.where it was cast, evidently" in the belief that the forest concealed an enemy force, offered such small resistance to the nose of the projectile that the force of contact*" was insufficient to explode it. It is to be observed how completely the torpedo has snapped the trunks of the saplings among which it fell.

It was dropped from a probable altitude of 8,000 to 10,000 feet.

The Ones That Were Sad.

The only sa5 men in camp at thte time of the departure of the Third Infantry were those who had changed from the khaki to civilian clothes and prepared to j-eturn to their homes because they had been physically disqualified. They were down in spirits because their former comrades had to go away without them.

Capt. John C. Lochner, quartermaster of the Third, was one of the most disappointed of the several officers who failed to meet the physical test. He has been a member of the guard for twenty-one years and has been one of the most loyal and faithful of workers. His home is at Auburn, Ind.

Killmer, whose home is at Warsaw, formerly .was a ihajor of a battalion to which the Indianapolis infantry companies then belonged, but more recently he had been on the retired list. He is a man of military experience which will be of value to the Third.

ALLIES LOSE HEAVILY.

Berlin Report Says Attacks Met With Repulse. BERLIN, July 8.—Today's news from the western front throws little light on the fighting during the last twenty-four hours, but the advices show that the fighting in the period immediately preceding was most intense at three points, at Thiepval, around Hem, and the region eight to ten miles south of the»Somme river.

In the Thiepval sector there was a succession of bitter attack.* and counter attacks. The British several times sucoeeded by violent assaults in obtaining a foothold in Thiepval, but each timei were ejected from the ruins of the village. Their losses .''.re described as "extraordinaiily heavy."'

The only British success, and this is declared to be unimportant, was the capture of a salient of German trenches feast of LaBoisselle,. only a short distance from the original German line. At^ LaBoisselle and to tho southward flgftting was of an unusual character.

German Dam Holds.

The Germans'have thrown a strong dam around the British flood wave, and isolated attempts to break the dam have been unsuccessful.

The capture of the village of Hem was accomplished by the French only after three desperate attempts. The first two attempts, although delivered with great force and determination, were repulsed. Th« third assault gave them possession of the village and enabled them to straighten out their line between Curlu and Feulllers.

The fighting at Estrees and Belloy-Eri-Santerre also was of a house to house and hand to hand character. The wave of battle swept back and forth, both French and Germans resorting chiefly to the use of the bayonet and hand grenades and fighting with the utmost desperation.

The losses, as was to be expected in this sort of .ightinpr, were very heavy. The French finally remained masters of Belloy.

The German commanders have prepared for attempts by the French or British to extend the front of the" bffensive- 6r for a renewed attack at new places on the long front, but as yet no serious endeavor in- this direction has been reported.
