Brownsville, Tex.?Little lessening
of activities on the part of Mexican
raiders in the Rio Grande valley
was indicated last week. Reports
which told of numerous attacks and
of several battles between the Mexicans
and soldiers. Ten men were reported
killed in the battles on one day
and night, bringing the death list
up to nearly twenty.
The ten reported dead included one
United States trooper, four Americans
believed to be members of the bandit
bands, and five Mexicans. The trooep
was killed at Palm Garden, near Mercedes,
Texas, when he with several
other cavalrymen was attacked by
bandits who appeared suddenly, shot
at the soldiers and disappeared. The
Mexicans, according to reports, had
cut the telephone wire connecting
Palm Garden with Mercedes. A farmer
found the break, connected the
wires and reported the shooting to
Mercedes. Additional soldiers and a
posse of citizens immediately left for
Palm Gardens.
News of their possible meeting was
awaited. The latest trouble reported
occurred at Sebastian, Texas, where
two Mexican bandits captured by
Texas rangers attempted to escape i
and was shot and killed.

While the Russians are fighting
desperately to extricate themselves
from the cordon of Austro-German
troops steadily pressing them more
closely in Poland, their allies are
working feverishly and with considerable
success to open the Dardanelles,
through which they hope to pour into
Russia much needed war munitions.
Arrangements for handling shipments
of Russian goods to the United

from Halifax, to which port
it was taken by a British steamer, by
special train.
An attack by German airships
which flew over the English coasts
last week was announced by the official
