Harder Pressed Than for Hoaths Freach Around Virduo Attacking Geimans. While Russians Are Quite Otfensiie. March 20 Heavy battles have been in progress northwest and northeast of Verdun, and on the northern part of the Russian front '.there the Russians are keep ing up their strong effensiv? against the Germans. In all these zones the losses have been large, while the changes in posi tion have been relatively unim portant. Northwest of Verdna in the seotor o f Avooourt Malancourt the Germans after a terrific bom bardment made a vicioua infantry attack in which liquid fire was employed against the French front. A fresh' German division brought up from a remote point participated in the operation. The French, however, with their certain of fire, aided by machine guns and infantry, put down the attack with heavy casualties to the assaulting forces exoept in the eastern part of the Malanoonrt wood, some-ten mfes from Ver dun, Where the Germans made a slight progress. Berlin reports the repulses alsc with heavy losses of the French who attacked the village of Vaux, northeait of Verdun. Elsewhere around the fortress there have been only intermittent bombard ments a n d a continuation of fights in the sir between French and German aviators. Although Berlin dims that the Germans again have repulsed the Russians in repeated attacks with strong forces around Poitavy and between Lakes Naroc z and DreB waity, Tetrograd reports a Ger man oheck south of Lake Drss waity and the capture of German trenches in the Lake Narcos re- gi43ev4rarU triot also have been token ty the Russians. In Galicia the Russians have oaptured Austrian trenches and a bridge-head east Of the village of Mikhaltohe. There also has been considerable fighting between the Austrians and Russians along the Duiester and Bessarabia fronts. -On the Isonz3 line the Italians have recaptured from the Aui- .tiians trenohes on Santa Maria Heights. Later, after having stop pd Austrian counter-attacks, the Italians retired to another posi tion oi their auvanoe line, in or der to avoid being enfiladed ty fresh Austrian batteries. Artil lery engagements have been in progress on the remainder of the Auitro-Italian front. The Russians continue their pursuit of the Turks in the Oau casns region and have taken ad ditional prisoner! and guns. An it tempt by the Turks to advance on the Blask Sea lateral was stop ped by Russian naval and land fcuns. Proper Treatment for Biliousness. For a long time Miss Lula Skel ton, Churohville, N.

Despite the reports that Genrral Oano's foroes had r gaged those of Villa at Nam iqurpa. persons well informed here expresied the opinion that the Carranift forces had failed to hold up their end of the net by which it was, proposed to capture the bandit chieftain. There were confirmatory reports received today of the news received for the last week that the Mexican trr ope not only were. failing to oo operate with t he Amerioan loops, but in oertaip initinoes at iast, wire actual ly; withdrawing from the field of operationi. The Arsoeiated Press learned on ur q "estionable s uthority that the troops of the de facto Government whioh had been sen at Cases Graides h'ave be?cvii.;$drawn and are now in abouiarss. Ff oo tha same source, wilearted that at least one;43ttchant cf Carransa troops had rclcied to fight Villa and had-wittdp-jD on the bandit's approaob, VJsaying him fre to nass into hi V favcrita monjtalolaslY; men t withdrew n- receipt of ' a 1 message that he was warring not on Mexioans but the enemies of Mexicans. The extraordinary npidity with which tha Amerioan cavalry, push ed into Mexico gave rise to high hopes yesterday that the nnex peoted had happened and the no torious bandit wai cornered. This etemed inevitable if the Carransa soldiers did their part and 'if the aooount of the strength of their field foroes was ccr eo. Villa, out off from the north by the for ward sweep of the American col umns, from the west by the Siem Msdre barring the approaches t the State of Senora, was supposed to be f qaall f barred from east and south by powerful Carranst foroes It now seems oertain that Villa hss been moving fresly in at leait a large seotion of the oountry sup posed to be held by the troops of the first ohief, In the last few days he has been variosly reported by General Gauira, the Carranz commander at Jairez, at pointi along a line reaching north and south from Oaleana to Namiquipa a distance of about 75 miles. By the same accounts he has not been moving steauuy soutn nut roving n:rhand east. The mountain ous, cannon-split, roadless conn try in whioh he ii operating, adds many miles to the oonntry he his covered is compared with its dis tance on the map. The reason for the Carranza troops moving to the border re mains unexplained. It is impos sible even to make a fair estimate of the number of men under Gen eral Gauira at J uarez. The large staff at his headquarters and the AV A. I A. . iaot saat new troops are arrivicg daily indioates that his forae ie large one. The moat conservative estimate places it at 8,C00 and cal culations range from that point upward to 8,000. Every precau tion has been taken to prevent the facts being known and most of the men are kept outside the town among the hills, Reports from Agaa Prieta and Ojinaga tel of Mexican leiforoements reach kg those points alsc, but nothing is knewn rso their numbers. There ie no question that there is serious and growing uneasiness in El Paso which has been sharp f accentuated by tha problem Craly Ccirt Ilfois f Ed Litaker, the oolored mgn who lait Thursday pleaded guilty to baviog stolen articles from the Emmett Thompson garage, : was adjudged guilty of seven similar caies ia the bonnfcy court lastFri day morning.

Americans here do not- beliefs that Carranza dare grant this tequeit, especially as it it understood that General Funs ton proposes, if it is granted, to take train crews and equipment into Mexioo and place military guards at the stations. The pree euce of American soldiers on Mex ioan railroads, it ie said, is very likely to be misnnderstood by the peons and it 1 is feared, would be ure to provoke outbreaks.

To the north and eaet of Veri lau, the cannonading has been only intermittent. In the'Ar goniiB foreet, in Lorrain and in Upper Alsace the Frenoh guns have been active against German positions and marchicg columns On ths River Somme the Germans entered a British trenob, but imt mediately were driven out.
