Chinese Revolution
Believed Succeeding
Election or 1.1 Yuan Hung, vice Presl-
dent of Kepublic, President of Se-
oltlng Provinces, Is Significant.
Washington, May 13. (L P.) Tre
state department believes that the
Chinese revolution is on the high road
to success. Significance is attached io
the recent election of 1,1 Yuan Hung,
vice president of the republic, to U.
presidency of four revolting p'rotlncei
in south China.
If President Yuan Shi Kal is forcci'.
to resign, 1.1 Yuan Hung will auto
matically become the Chinese execu
tive. This will probably mean a recun
dilation of the warring factions. The;.,
or if the revolution is otherwise suc
cessful, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, former pres'-
dent, would return from his exile and
take a high place In the administra
tion. It is reported that Sun Yat Sin
is directing the revolution from Japan.

COMMANDER PLANS TO
MAKE 50 MILES DAILY
Two Troops of Eighth Cav
alry in Pursuit of Raiders,
60 Miles Beyond Border.
By Edmond Behr.
Marathon. Texas, May 13. (I. N.
8.) Lieutenant Colonel Natlvidad Al
varez, leader of the bandits who raid
ed Boqulllas last Saturday, is guiding
Major Gecrgo T. Langhorne's cavalry
Into Mexico to rescue Jesse Deemer
and Monroe Payne. Both are believed
to be alive.
Colonel F. W. Sibley, with three
troops of the Fourteenth cavalry, en
tered Mexico for the second time late
Thursday night. By tonight it is es
timated they are 60 or 70 miles from
the Rio Grande.
Leading this column was Lieutenant
Colonel Alvarez, the bandit commander,
who was overpowered and made pris
oner with two of his men by seven
Americans from the Boquillas mines
whom the bandits had captured and
were carrying Into Mexico.
Alvarez Hopes for His Zilfe.
Alvarez has offered to guide the
Americans to the spot v here Deemer
and Payne are held prisoners. In ex
change for this service he expects to
escape the death penalty when- tried in
Texas court for the raid.
JJeemer and Payne, according to Al
varez, are at a point 125 miles south of
the border, near Sierra Blanca. This.
Bpot apparently was chosen by the
bandits as a rendezvous where they
would gather after the attack on
Glenn Springs and Boqulllas.
Five days' rations have been carried
south by Major Langhorne, who aims
to make 50 miles a day and return with
the American prisoners before hia food
supplies are consumed. -- Such a ride
Wflt be heartbreaking for both men and
corses. .
Colonel Slsley to Ooaxd Aear. "U X,
Colonel Sibley intends to march
southward wltn surplus rations and
guard Major 'Langhorne's rear. He ex
pects to meet his advanced forces on
their returns from the perilous trip to
Sierra Blanca.
A private of troop A. Fourteenth
cavalry, was lost in the hills yester
day between Glenn Springs and Bo
qulllas. Up to an early hour this
morning, he had not been found, al
though civilian posses were search
ing for him. His name is not known.
This news was brought here tonight
from Bnqulltes by Deputy Sheriff
James Shoemaker, who left the river
early this morning in an army auto
mobile truck.
The deputy brought with him the
(wo bandits who wore captured with
Lieutenant Colonel Alvarez. They
gave their names as Macario Alvarez
and Hijinio Garcia.
Alvarez la "Texas Mexican."
W. K. Ellis, who was at Glenn
SpihiRs the night of the raid- and
barely escaped with his wife to safe
ty, said that the Mexican calling him
self Alvarez was a resident of this
side of the river.
Air. Kllis tvlieves he saw hiin In
(ilenn Springs a number of times be
fore the raid. American river guards
say that his real name is Munoz, and
he is a "Texas Mexican."

was among the arrivals who brought
details of the entrance of Mexico. He
said:

Paris, May 13. (U. P.) German
losses in 80 days of battling at Ver
dun now reach a total of 240.00J, ac
cording to estimates made here to
night, a high percentage of the number
representing German dead.
Since the attack on tlu fortress was
resumed 10 days ago with thrusts at
the French line on both sides of the
Meuse, the Germans have lost nearly
20,000 men. In positions recaptured
by the French in a successful counter
attack east of Deadman's Hili, the
bodies of nearly 1000 Germans were
counted.
On the west bsnk of the Meuse north
west of Verdun the opposing armies
apparently are in another deadlock. The
French last night improved their de
fensive positions by an advance in t.-.e
direction of Hill 287, the war office
announced, the Germans making no in
fantry attack.
On the east bank of the Meuse sev
eral heavy German attacks on the
Thiaumont-Fort Douaumont line were
repulsed.
