GEN. FUNSTON'S REPORT
Pershing's Thres Columns Hurry to
Mset Bandit After Hla Rsvsrss by
Mexican Soldiers.
Major General Funston announced
the positions of three columns of the
expeditionary force, as follows:
The first moving southward from
Cassae Grandes towards Babrlcora.
The second, moving southeast to
ward El Valle.
The third, toward Carmen, alsa
southeasL
Villa was reported to have been de
feated by Carransa'e troops at Oruct
and to be on bis way north toward El
Valle.
This is the first official report from |
General Pershing given out by General
Funston since the United States pun!
tlve expedition entered Mexico.
Later a despatch from El Paao said:
"The forces of Colonel Cano were
engaged In battle with bandits led by
Villa in Namlquipa, according to s
despatch received by General Gavira
Carranza commandant at Juarez.
"The result of the fighting was not
decided at the time of tbe receipt ol
the dspatch. Namlquipa Is in the dis
trict of Guerrero, state of Chihuahua."
The "American forces," supposed tc
be the El Valle column referred to bj
Pershing, had been reported from £3l
Paso to be at Galeana, twenty mllet
north of El Valle. General Gavira,
commanding the Carranza forces a!
Juarez, next reported Villa had dou
bled east and south to Namlquipa;
that Carranza troops had been advanc
lng from the south, while the Amerl
cans were hurrying from the north, U
close the net around tbe bandit. Thli
report said that after leaving El Valle
where he had abandoned thirty of hit
wounded, Villa turned directly west to
San Miguel!, Babrlcora.
Gavira explained that he had learn
ed the Babrlcora, where Villa was re
ported on Sunday, was San Miguel
Babrlcora, and not the Babrlcora neai
the lake of that name, some miles
further to the south on Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst's ranch. San Miguel Babri
cora Is about twenty miles west ol
El Valle. From that point Villa madt
a sudden twist and etruck toward
Namlquipa, forty miles south, accord
lng to Garvta.
Garvla said at Juarez that Colone
Cano, of the de facto force,"was tb
cflosest to Villa, as his advance post'
came within sight of "Villa's fleeing
rear guard at El Valle."
The right to operate trains in Mexi
co under the direction of the Ameri
can army is the specific feature it
the request made by General Fun
ston for permission to use the Mexi
can-Northwestern railroad In forward
ing supplies to the expedltionarj
forces. This was explained by Fun
ston.
Funston said the equipment for th«
trains would Jiave to be moved acroal
the boundary line Into Mexico anc
that American crews would be usee
In Its operation. Guards would b
carried on the trains and at somt
points along the line It would be ad
ylaable to have station guards.
If Funston's request for permlsslot
to use the railroad is granted, work
men wHI be sent forward Immedlatel}
to make the-repairs necessary be fort
trains can be operated. To get th
road in shape would require severa
days/
If the permission is granted, tbi
base for military operations will b
moved from Columbus to El Paso.
El Paso reported that Carranxi
troops stationed at Cassas Grandei
and other points of that section at th
time General Pershing began hit
march into Mexico now are at Juarei
opposite El Paso, and in the rear y
General Pershing's columns.
No reason was assigned for thi
transfer of troops from points Inlani
to the border.
From reliable sources it I* said I
Carranza detachment allowed Villa t
pass southward on receipt of a mee
•age from the bandit leader that h«
was not waning against Mexico.

AIRSHIPS ATTACK ZEEBRUGGE
Allied Planes Shell City on Coast of
Belgium.
Sixty-five allied aeroplanes bom
barded the Belgian coast town of
brugge. All returned. .
The German seaplane station at Zee
brugge and the aerodrome at Haut

eleven persons.
Tbe official report on the Zeebrugge
dash says that the raid was made
by a combined force of British, French
and Belgian aeroplanes and seaplanes,
accompanied by fifteen fighting ma
chines, and adds:
"Considerable damage appeals to
have been done. The machines on
the average carried 200 pounds of
bombs. One Belgian officer is report
ed seriously wounded. All the Brit
ish machines referred to "were naval."
The raid developed the fact that
the French war office has sent a corps
of experienced French aviators to
England to help protect the coasts.
One French machine was engaged in
the aerial battle which followed the
dropping of bombs at Ramsgate,
where a military hospital was struck.

GERMAN ATTACKS
LESSEN J FURY
Only One Infantry Action on
the Verdun Front.
6REAT ASSAULT EXPECTED
Artillery Activity on Weat Bank of
Meuse Msy Herald New Drive From
That Quarter.
Fighting about Verdun has again
•lackened, according to Paris State
ment, the only infantry attack report
ed being an unsuccessful one by the
Germans on the French positions on
Cote de Poivre (Pepper Hill), north
of the fortress and eist of the Meu;e.
Tbe artillery activity has been in
termittent in the region of Vaux,
northeast of Verdun, reaching consid
erable viollence, however, in the vicin
ity of Malancourt, on the west bank
of the Meuse. it Is believed the Ger
mans are preparing for another great
assault In this region where, It Is
thought In Pariß the conflict that will
finally determine the fate of Verduu
may be fought.
An attack made by French troops
on tbe village of Vaux was repulsed
with heavy losses, the Berlin war of
fice announced.
Attacks by the Germans Saturday
on the Vaux-Danloup front were con
tinued far into the night without suc
cess, Paris says. The assaulting col
umns were brought up short by the
French fire curtain In every case and
were unable to reach the French illnrs.
The German attempts to cover "the
flreswept zone before the French po
sitions was given up and throughout
the rest of Saturday night and Sun
day the Germans undertook no fur
ther Infantry action in the Verdun
region. An Intermittent bombardment
on this front was continued through
the night. This decreased appreci
ably In Intensity on Sunday.
The final stage of the batt?s of Ver
dun appears to have been reached
five days ago, according to the Paris
view. Since that time there has been
no decisive fighting; the German in
fantry attacks made since have In no
case had any success.
Even the artillery bombardment,
which had been on so tremendous a
scale since the beginning of the Ger
man attempt on the fortress, has now
lost much of its vigor and Intensity,
although It continues on both sides
German official accounts speak ol
the repulse of French attacks made
Sunday msrnlng upon Le Mort Horn
me (Dead Man's Hill), west of—the
Meuse, Implying that the hllil Is In
German hands, although the French
war office has specifically denied thai
it was ever captured.
British and German aviators fought
many engagements on the Artols
front, all the British machines return
lng In safety. German air squadrone
attacked French railway building* \
from Clarmont to Verdun and In towne j
as far to the east as Lure (near Bel-1
frt) and further south than Dijon.
By the explosion of mines near the
Hohenzollern redoubt, In Artols, the I
Germans succeeded in occupying three
craters.

After being out Just long enough
to draft a decision, the coroner's jury
brought in a verdict that English bad

hor."
A fusillade, in which twelve shots
were fired, was the climax to a quar

It brought to a close a romance which
united two prominent families in an
elopement to Philadelphia and secrel
marriage on December 1, 1900.

Thomas Dunn English, noted poet au
thor of "lien Holt," and alumnus ol
University of Pennsylvania. Ho was
a native of New York city, where foi
years following his graduation he]
practiced.
Ills wife, formerly Elolsv Young, n
member of one of Frederick's oddest
families, Is pie daughter of the late
McCllntock Young, noted for his many
Inventions.
It was generally known that theli
married llfiywas very unhappy. They
separated and were reconciled several
times. Neighbors sny that English
treated his wife miserably, that re
cently he was virtually Insane, threat
ening many times to take her life.
The two sons were put to work by
the father, chopping wood. Knowing
that tho elder hoy was not well, Mrs,
English went out and asked that he
he allowed to stop. English Dew Into
a rage, she said.
Greatly frightened by Ills threats
and by bis savage manner, she wenl
to her room where she got a pistol,
which formerly belonged to her father
She tucked this lu her bosom and pro
ceded about her household duties.
Shortly afterward English went In
to tfie dlnlngroom where his wife was
In a fury he took u .hammer, broke
furniture, and smashed chlnaware
His wife begged him to stop, but this
only seemj'd to make hltn worse.
When again Importuned to desist,
ho threatened to "finish her." As he
raised Ills arm Mjs. English drew her
revolver and fired.
She emptied the live chambers of
her pistol, then picked up bis revol
ver from the floor and fired all seven
shots at him. Then, hysterical, aftei
she had shot twolve times, she ran up
stairs and reloaded her own pistol
again.
An examination of English's body
showed that tlve bullets had taken ef
feet In It. Two penetrated the ab
domen. One went through his side.
One passed through his heart, another
had shattered bis Jaw.

CABBAGE YELLOWS.
Disease of a Fungous Parasite and
" How It Can Be Controlled.
[Prepared by Wisconsin experiment sta
tion.]
Cabbage "yellows" Is n disease which
is ruining the cabl>age growing Indus
try In Racine and Kenosha counties
and occurs to n less extent In other
cabbage growing section* of Wisconsin, -f
It Is caused by n fungous parasite
which lives in the soil nnd attacks tbe
roots of the cabbage. Hot weather
makes the dlsonse develop rapidly, ■
while cool weather retnrds It or may
bold It entirely In chock. For this tea
son cabbage yellows caused more loss
In the warm i.u miner of 1914 than In
the cool summer of 1915.
Wherever cabbage is grown on "cab
bage sick" soil yellows appears first In
, tbe seed bed nnd later hi tbe field.
Diseased plants are off color and
dwarfed. Tbelr leaves are curled oi
one sided and hi bad cases soon turn
yellow and drop. Plants may live
throughout the sen son. The stems of
sick plants have black streaks In them,
often worse on one side than on the
other, and in bad cases these may ex-

tend well up Into the head or top if no
head Is formed. These streaks are due
i to fungous threads which enter the
roots uiitl grow up through the stem
i Into tho leaves. Diseased fields may
yield a half crop or there may be al
most a complete crop failure.
Cabbage yellows Is spread from dis
eased fields to healthy field* by (1) .
wind blown dust, which carries the
spores or germs along with It. (2) sur
face wuier which runs across a sick
field and then flood* nnothcr field on a
lower level,"(3) soli curried by.the feet W
, of men and stock, li) wheels or wag
ons, plows, cultivators nnd other fartn
machinery. In fact, anything which
may carry soil from ono field to an
other tnny also carry the dlseaco.
Because the disease lives in the soil
, the seed disinfection, fertilizers,- crop
rotation and soli treatment cannot be
( used with any success In Its control..
It can be controlled, however, by using
strains of seed selected became of
tbelr disease resistant qualities.
Such a selecti"d strain of Hollander
or Danish Hall Head, known as "Wis
consin Hollander No. 8," has been de
veloped by tho Wlsf-onsln experiment
station lu co-operation with the cab- •
bnge growers of southeastern Wiscon
sin. This strain will stand up almost
perfectly under the worst disease con
ditions. Test yields of this In 1914 av
eraged from 90 to 99 per cent of a full
. crop, while plants from commercial
seed planted alongside yielded only
from 2 to 3 per cent of a crop. In the
commercial field, out of every 100
plants set forty-six lived, but only
twenty-four made heads,Vhlch yielded
two tons to tho acre. In the Wisconsin
Hollander No. 8 field out of every 100
plants set 100 lived and ninety-eight
made heads which yielded more than
eighteen and one-half tops to tbe acre.
