Wilson Care "Courier" AFTER MR. VILLA ; San Antonio, April 8. With Frau : cUeo Villa apparently between Satevo and Parral, two American columns were reported marching ropldly southward today In possible repeti tion of Colonel Erwlu's famous San ' Geronlmo dash. These columns hope 'to force Villa to make a decisive stand. Officers at army headquarters were convinced that Villa was at Parral or en route there.' Carranzlstaa were reported waiting for htm at that point. If they are on hand in considerable ; numbers, it is believed they may force the ibandlt leader to retreat In j the direction of Santa Rosalia. It Is 'conjectural whether Villa would at tempt to cut a path .through the con stitutionalist lines. Reports here bore out the statement that de facto troops were cooperating with the Americans. Messages to Mexican authorities said Villa and his followers crossed Rio Conchos yesterday afternoon with Colonel Brown's cavalry not far behind. FURTHER ADVANC E VERDUN KEEP POLITICS OUT OF MINOR OFFICES BV KAISER AT London, April S.Attaeklng the astern xldo of the Hethlucourt aa Iteut, tho German crown prince's armies progressed in their thrust to batter in the wedge today. While hidden artillery hurled tons of explosives over their heads to shield, the advance, German soldiers fought their way Into two small re doubts between llaucourt and Mill :s. Paris admitted. Klsewhero, Paris claimed, the 'Ger man waves rolled forward and then back, without gaining any new ter ritory. , The nerllti war office, however, claimed the Germans captured French positions on a front of one mile wide along the ridge of Ternilt- ten hill, south of llaucourt. This statement declared that 714 French men who refused to retreat before the bristling lines of German bay onets threw down their arms and sur rendered when they saw the hopeless ness of further resistance. The French busies Immediately sent fresh battalions charging up the slope toward the captured positions, Merlin assorted, but German rifle men drove back the attacks. The Paris commit niiito announced that mine fighting in Argonno forest proved advantageous to the French, especially near the Daughter of Death hill. French soldiers dashed Into a huge German mine crater on the southern slope and fought des perately with an equal number of Germans for possession of It, finally killing all Teutons who would not flee and occupying the position. All was reported calm on Woevre plain. A German reconnoltertng party discovered near Langelfeltkopf In the Vosges mountains was fired on and obliged to retreat. Berlin, April 8. Continuing their advance on Verdun, the Germans have captured French positions for a width of more than a mile on the ridge of Termlten hill, south of Hnu- court, It was officially announced to day. Olympia, Wash., April 8. Govern or Lister today declared himself In favor of non-partisan election for all state and city and county officers. He is the second governor in the United States to do so. Governor Hiram Johnson of California already has come out in favor of this movement "This Is no sudden decision with me," Lister said. "Twice I have rec ommended to the 'legislature the abandonment of party lines and the removal of faction in city, county and state offices. "Experience, moreover, has proved in an all-sufficient manner that the work of the legislature as well as other public offices Is seriously han dicapped by partisanship. Again and again it has been demonstrated that great measures received scant or no consideration by the members of one party If proposed by a member of an opposing party." London, April 8 The German crown prince has thrown large forces across Forges (brook In an efort to squeeze the French out of Bethln court, according to despatches from the front todcy. A storm of shells Is falling on both sides of the salient, preliminary to another German attempt against the village. The defense of the French who have held their gronnd for two weeks under tremendous difficulties, has excited the admiration of all England. Almost surrounded, suffering from a searching fire from scores of Ger man guns, the French have maintain ed their trenches with a loss of only 300 yards. They have repeatedly repulsed heavy frontal attacks. A strong German thrust against the west side of the salient, on a front of one mile Just east of Haucourt, was completely defeated after a stub born struggle at close quarters. BORDER TW DEPARTMENT TO GET PLOT EVIDENCE Chicago, April 8 Evidences of an anarchist plot to murder the ruling European monarchs will shortly be forwarded to the department of Jus tice in Washington, according to the expectation today of States Attorney Hoyne, who exposed the plot. Hoyne refused to reveal the name of the man who confessed the con spiracy. Such a revelation, he de clared, would undoubtedly result In the informer being assassinated. The evidence in Hoyne's possession indicates that groups of anarchists met In principal cities recently and decided by lot which of their number should go abroad to kill royalty. Each ruler was to be poisoned. Hoyne unearthed facts leading to discovery of the plot during his In vestigation of the poison soup ban quet here at which Jean. Crones, an archist, attempted to poison Arch bishop Mundeteln and a large num ber of other prominent Chicago men by putting arsenic In their soup. Crones, who' Is still at large, Is de clared to be Involved In the scheme to slay all kings. GET EXCITED Old papers, 6c per bundle, at the Courier office. San Diego, April &.
