I think there' is nothing that better shows the forbearance, patience and fairness, on the part both of the civilians and the military authorities along the border, as the handling of the situation created by the strife just across the line. There have been many irritations, but, the of ficers nave remained imperturbable; ...iltr tn rt ihptr Hut., at all timt I Fairness has uniformly characterized their actions. Quevedo testified that he had been an officer in the Huerta arnry for about a year, holding the rank of coloneL He had severed all connections with the army about 15 days before coming to El Paso and intended to peacefully live here and have no further connection with any faction, he stated. He de clared that, if released, he would not go back to Mexico or in any way identify himself with the factional strife. Attorneys for the defence stated that documentary evidence in the case tend ed to show that Queevdo was being held at the request of Gen.

In the late afternoon Gen. French rode out among the troops to wish them good luck, ad dressing to all a few inspiring words. Attack After Msht. The night was not very dark but there was no moon and scarcely any wind. All the dispositions were made siic 'itlv after dusk. We were anywhere ro CO to 300 yards from the enemy's front trenches and many nasty ob stacles had to be overcome. "We had to depend on bayonets and grenades. It was too dark for shooting. "Our left attacked at 11:30 oclock and succeeded In storming the German line and overthrowing the defenders. Before Ions our left center was dashing in with cold steeL It penetrated two lines o German trenches and killed or wounded most of the defenders and made good a front of about S08 yards in the German position. Break Down Defences. "Our extreme left was less fortunate. as a Maxim fire on this flank was se vere and accurate. But the Indian troops on this side eventually penetrated through the opening made by the left center and soon began to outflank and break down the defences in front of the original left of our attack. "At 3 oclock in the morning a fresh and formidable line of British Infantry advanced from our right against the German trenches in the direction of Festubert. The men stormed the Ger man lines with the utmost gallantry and soon made themselves masters of a front of 1400 yards. They overwhelmed the second line and tien penetrated the -eserve trenches, causing the enemy heavy losses. "By 11 oclock this attack had pene trated for a mile Into the German lines and promised to extend around the Ger mans who still held on to their front trenches between our right and our cen ter attacks. We had. In short, by noon overthrown almost completely the Ger mans on our front and when the writer left the scene there seemed good hops that the inevitable German attack would prove costly and Ineffective."

BATTLE AT GALLIP0LI IS QUESTION OF LOSING MEN Ijondon. Eng, May ft. The war on the Gallipoli peninsula near the Dar danelles is a question of how many men can be lost in the capture of each trench, according to the British press representative there. He says the po sitionF already won bv the allies prove the Turks were justified in considering the positions impregnable. He says the allies have now fought their way to Atchi Baba. about five miles jp the peninsula, the first of the commanding positions on which the Turko-German force can make a stand. The message adds: "The navy has achieved an equally fine organization for the landing of a continuous supply of men and muni tions. Piers have been built out into deep water so that the largest lighters can come alongside. Roads have been ctu along the cliffs to increase the area of disembarkation and 1M devices have been utilized to assist in efficiency. At night the southern end of the Galli poli peninsula, formerly deserted and barren, has the appearance of one of the world's greatest ports.

None of the German papers has been permitted to publish the American note to Ger many, but the afternoon papers on Monday printed the versiop of it as j telegraphed by the Havas agency. All refrained from comment except the Lo kal Anzeiger. which says: The German government certainly will not delay long with the answer re quested, and probably will reply that in occupying itself with its 'sacred duties' it is not to be disturbed from any side. "That the American government should consider the Lusitania as a harmless packet boat, without taking notice of the fact that it was really an auxiliary cruiser and an ammunition steamer of the British navy, appears to us scarcely believable. But the German answer to Washington will make it comprehensible to Mr. Wilson, in lan guage as pulitie as it will be clear, that we must conduct the war as we are conducting it and can conduct it with a clear conscience." The Taglische Rundschau, comment ing on the reports that the Lusitania incident has caused a "growing in sight" in America, says: "This insight will probably lead to the dlsco ery that England really is the guilty part because it took ammuni tion on board a passenger steamer in contravention of the American laws."
