GENERAL FUNSTON MAY ASK ARMY OF 100.000
Americans Swarming Across Mexican Border
(By International News Servics.)
PARIS, March 13.—French troops
in their counter attacks against the
left wing of the German army men
acing Verdun have scored a success,
the French War Office announced in
an official communique issued this
afternoon. The success was won in
Le Petre forest, where the French
troops penetrated 2 German trench on
a front of 200 yards. The French re
turned to their original lines after
setting off mines.
The communique states that there
was no infantry action in the region
to the north of Verdun. It says:
“The bombardment continued dur
ing the night against Bethincourt and
in the region of Douaumont, as well
as in the Woevre region. In the sec
tors of Moulainville and Ronvaux our
artillery is showing great activity on
the entire front.
“In Le Petre forest a body of our
troops penetrated an enemy trench
near Croix des Cannes on a front of
about 200 yards. Having exploded
mines and caused some losses to the
enemy, this body of troops returned te
sur lines with twenty prisoners,
“The night was calm on the rest of
the front.
Air Squadron Buey.
“Ons of our bombarding groups in 2
night flight threw 30 shells of large
caliber upon the railway station of
Conflans, where five houses are known
to have beeén get on fire. Though vio
lently shelled, all our machines re
turned undamaged.”
All along the Verdun front and far
ther west along the Aisne River gi
gantic artillery duels raged all day
Sunday and througout the greater
part of the night.
The thunder of the big guns could;
be heard on the outskirts of Paris.
Increased activity on the part of the
German airmen led to reports that the
Germans were carrying out fresh
troop movements behind their front
and that the German aviators were
trying to keep the French air scouts
from learning the destination of the
fresh reserves. |
Refugees are flocking into Paris in
great numbers from the Verdun dis
trict. They .tate that the small towns
of Eix, Moulainville, Damloup and
Bras, north and east of Verdun, have
been wiped out by the terrific big gun
duels. S |
Girl a Verdun Heroine. |
Officers from the Verdun sector say |
that last week's slaughter of Germans
around Vaux reached a record mark.
Among the refugees arriving here
was 15-year-old Josephine Denis, one
of the heroines of the Verdun fight.
With her was an aged peasant woman |
whose life the girl had saved. When
the hamlet of Monthariens, a suburb
of Verdun, was bombarded the aged
peasant woman could not flee with
the other inhabitants because of {ll
ness. Josephine went to the nck‘
woman's side and remained with her
throughout the bombardment. When
the old woman was able to walk she
and Josephine left the ruined hamlet
together.
“It i& now poeitive that a great Ger
man defeat at Verdun s certain’
writes Jose Reinach, the famous
French histerian and war critic. “The
Germans will never get the fortress.”

Munitions to Mexico
(By Internatioral News Service,) ;
SAN FRANCISCO, !'ur;:h 13.~An
bar on the shipment of war muni
:i'gm f'rgm the port of Ban Francisco !o'
Mexican points was annouced to-day by
Collsctar John O. Davis
’ Mrs. Hollie Pannelle, who shot to
‘dea.th her husband, L. Edward Pan
nelle, in their home, No. 47 Chastain
istreet, last Wednesday, and in whose
case the Fulton County Grand Jury
Monday returned a “no bill,” was re
leased from custody Monday after
noon and left Police Headquarters
‘with her sister, Mrs. C. O. Pylant,
of No. 20 Hendrix avenue, with whom
she will make her home.
~ Mrs. Pannelle was overjoyed when
‘told of the Grand Jury's action.
“I knew they'd free me,” she sald.
“I just had to shoot him in self-de
fense. I'm so grateful to the people
who have aided me in this trouble,
and especially to Mrs. Mamie Heard,
the Police Matron, who has heen most
kind and considerate of me while I
have been detained here in her quar
ters. I want to thank the newspa
pers, too, for the interest they have
taken in my case.”
The Grand Jury, F. J. Cooledge,
foreman, had consumed two hours in
hearing evidence before its decision
was made and a “no bill” :endered.
- The testimony of little Elva Pan
nelle, 15-year-old daughter of the
nrisoner, was said to have been the
;prlnclpn factor in swaying the Grand
Jury. Elva, who had maintained si
len¢e ever since the tragedy, broke
down and cried when the jurymen
questioned har, but she sivod braveiy
by her mother. She said her father
had threatend to beat her, that her
mother had protested, and then her
father sald he ‘“would beat mother
instead.” FElva said she ran out of
the room then and did not see the a>-
tual shooting. ‘
The two smaller children—Helen, 8,
and Mildred, 4—were questioned byf
the jury and they told what they
could, though evidently greatly fright
ened. Pannelle’s mother, Mrs. Annle‘
Farmer, and his sister, Mrs. C. C‘
Holt, were examined, as were De-J
tective W. F. Harper, Undertaker Fd
F. Bond, Dr. J. W. Hurt and several
relatives of the Pannelle family.
The action of the Grand Jury prac
tically ends the case, it is believed.
It can not consider the charges againrst
Mrs. Pannelle again, though a future
Grand Jury has power to reopen I:.
It is not considered likely that a war
rant will be taken out for Mrs. Pan
nelle by her husband’'s relatives, for
this would merely hold Mr. Panneile
for Grand Jury action, and in view of
Monday's decision this would be fy.

TROOPS BEHIND SANDBAG- BARRICADE
= NN AN TN SNEINININPININAIANINPIAPASRINIAISAPANIIPPAPPPPNPI
Photograph shows a detachment of United States infantrymen behind a hastily constructed sandbag barricade. On account
of the sandy nature of the soil along the Mexican border 1t has been found that trench digging is difficult on account of the continual
sliding of the loose sand. For this reason when a hasty defense works is essential the troops throw up mounds which are topped
with sand bags. This affords good security, and the soldiers use the openings between the bags as loopholes to fire through at the
enemy.

'A greement in Full Force 4
’ WASHINGTON, March 13.—8ecretary of State Lansing made
public this afternoon the text of a telegram sent to First Chief!
Carranza, of the Mexican De Facto Government, in which ths
United States accepts in full the proposal for a reciprocal agree«
ment in dealing with bandits along the Mexican border. "
In his telegram Secretary Lansing says that this Government
understands that in view of this agresment to the Carranszista
proposals the arrangement ‘‘is now complete and in force and the
reciprocal privileges thereunder may asccordingly be exercised by
either Government without further interchange of views.”’
Lansing declares that this arrangement is very gratifying h\
the United States Government. In making public the text of Q
telegram to Carranza, SBecretary Lansing also issued the sow
statement: %
“‘ln order to remove any apprehensions that may exist either
in the United States or in Mexico, the President has authorized me.
to give in his name the public assurance that the military opera
tions now in contemplation by this Government will be scrupu
lously confined to the objects already announced and that in no
circumstances will they be suffered to trench in any degree upon
the sovereignty of Mexico or develop into intervention of any kind
in internal affairs of our sister republic. :
"‘On the contrary, what is now being domne is deliberately in.
tended to preclude the possibility of intervention.’’ ;
Text of the Telegram
The text of the telegram which was sent to Carranza was com.
municated to Ambassador Designate Arredondo here. It was ad
dressed to Consul Silliman, who is with Carranza, as follows:
You are instructed to reply as follows to Secretary Acuna’s
note of March 10: -

and which are a constant menace to the lives and property of resi.
dents of that region.
‘The Government of the United States, in view of the unusual
state of affairs, which has existed for some time along the inter.
