Frenchmen Win in a Counter Attack Vital Part of Two-Mile Gain by Ger- mans Is Again Taken from Them Paris, April 3.-The battle for the village of Vaux, the formidable ob- ment undertaken by the defenders as against Verdun east of the Meuse, is still raging seriously, but when night settled upon the battlefield it saw the French victorious in a vio- lent counter attack, the first one of the large scale thfts far attempted and the most successful counter move- stacle in the Crown Prince's drive regards results. In fighting of the most savage char- acter which lasted all last night and, throughout the day, the French coun- ter attack gained steadily until tonight they had recaptured the western part of the village and thrown the Germans back to the northern edge of Caillette wood and to the pond north of Vaux. All of these positions have been firmly held by the Crown Prince's in- fantry after their latest drive on this section yesterday and the two previous days. Thus a vital part of the two- mile gain made by the Germans was wrested from them by the French in the counter attack. Col. Ginilliat to Lecture lTonight Culver Academy Superintendent Ex- plains Military Methods and t Shows Pictures1 Colonel L. R. Ginilliat, superintend- ent of Culver Military Academy, will give a lecture this evening at 8:001 o'clock in Hill auditorium on the mili- tary training methods used in that institution. This lecture is one of the series of free speeches upon "preparedness" given under the auspices of the local National Security League branch. In addition to outlining the Culver sys- tem, Colonel Ginilliat will show mo- tion pictures of the troops there in action. K. W. Heinrich, '16E, of the U. SC Navy, will also speak on the foundingl of a naval reserve force here.- Reserve Division of Navy Possible Student Battalion of 5 Members May Be Formed; Explain Details at Tonight's Lecture Provided it is enrolled by Friday, the university will have a Unitedj States Naval Reserve division with, a strength of 85 men.. This announcement was made last night following the receipt of general orders from naval headuarters. The division is to be called Number 8, and will be connected with the first bat- talion in Detroit. The incentive for joining Division 8 lies in the fact that the force will bef eligible for the Bermuda cruise of4 the Atlantic squadron during the com- ing summer. Throughut this train- ing trip, the men will receive the regu- lar navy pay. Included in the 85 men will be five officers elected from the students who compose the company, and several advisory officials chosen by the au- thorities. Full "details of this plan, including the. plans for examination of fitness to take places in the division, will be given at the Ginilliat lecture this eve- ning in Hill auditorium. V1ILA LOSES ONE OF, HIS CHIEFS IN A CAVALRY ATTACK NUME ROUS SKIRMISHES H E L I) WITH SCATTERED BAND SINCE WEDNESDAY COLORED FORCE SCALES CRAGS Natives Are Surprised at Mobility American Troops Over Rough Country of (ay George H. Clements) Special Correspondent of New York Sun Field Headquarters, Punitive Expe- dition, United States Army, near Nue- vas Casas Grandes, Mexico, by radio to Columbus, New Mexico, April .- The murder of five Mexican employees of the Carrolitos ranch by a band of five Villistas on their retreat from Co- lumbus, March 20, was avenged Fri- day night when, in an attack upon a party of bandits east of San Geronimo, the cavalry killed a number of Villis- tas, including Manuel Boyca, one of Villa's chief lieutenants and the man who is said to have ordered the kill- ing of the men at Carrolitass. This information comes from Car- ranzista forces and is not vouched for by the military forces. No details of the Friday night engagement are available. The American forces are vigorously pursuing the Villa bandits and there have beet several skirmish- es with the scattered bands since the big fight last Wednesday between Vil- la's personal escort and Major Irwin's cavalry command of Colonel Dodd's brigade. It is not intended that Villa shall escape if he has penetrated into the mountains out of the reach of the American cavalry, for General Per- shing has arranged to have the 24th infantry (colored) scale the mountain crags. Natives Are Surprised The natives generally are suprised at the mobility of the American troops and the staying qualities of the big American cavalry horses, which they had supposed would be unable to negotiate the extremely rough country over which operations are now being conducted. The men and horses are standing the strain wonderfully well, no men having been reported sick and no call for remounts having been issued. Carranza Offers Only Cooperation So far as is known here there is absolutely nothing to warrant border alarm that any of the Carranza com- manders are offering anything but co- operation to the American forces. It is positively denied that Colonel Cano's Carranza command fought with the Villistas against the American forces near Guerrera last Wednesday: A dispatch set forth that the victory was more complete than first reported. It is now known that Villa lost 60 men killed and a great many more wounded.

Rev. ""ouglas"elivers Address Sunday morning a memorial address was delivered by Rev. Lloyd C. Doug- las at the Congregational church, of which Dr. Angell was a member. The Angell pew was draped in black. "In part Mr. Douglas said: "We are paying tribute today to a profound scholar who; though he had met the problems presented by science, still raised his heart in prayer to God as the Author and Source of all power. We are paying tribute to a world- traveler who, though, he had met, in- timately, the problem of conflicting faiths, still saw the hand and mind of the All-Father leading his children with slw but certain footsteps out into the light of truth. We are pay- ing tribute to a man of affairs who, in the midst of a busy life, found time to commune with the infinite.. "Deep in his loyalties, strong in his tamth, sincere in his friendships, gentle, gracious, and kindly toward all mer,-- we may not soon see his like again." Plan for Memorial Service Plans for a memorial service for the late President-Emeritus James B. An- gell will be discussed at the next meeting of the University Senate, which is expected to be held within a few days. FREE Questionnaires seeking information for use in the anti-tuberculosis cam- paign, which is being launched by the university health service, will be cir- culated over the campus this week.' An effort will be made to get one of the blanks in the hands of every stu- dent of the university. The questionnaires should be filled out carefully, according to Dr. H. H., Cummings and Dr. C. P. Drury, who are managing the campaign, and, will be collected in university classes. To all whose answer~ appear to indicate symptoms of tuberculosis, letters will be sent asking them to call at the health service for an examination. In cases where the presence of the disease is suspected by the health serv- ice physicians, further examinations will be made by Dr. A. W. Hewlitt, professor of internal medicine in the Medical School, and a specialist in the study of tuberculosis. If a still closer examination is necessary an X-ray pic- ture of the lungs will be taken by Dr. J. G. Van Zwaluwenburg, professor of Roentgenology. All of these examina- tions will be furnished free to students although it is calculated that the or-, dinary fee for a complete examination would be about $50. eral members of the faculty were pres- ture will be announced as soon as pos- ent. sible.
