Washington, April 18.—Secretary Baker laid before the cabinet today long reports from General Funston re- Viewing the whole situation on the border and in Mexico. From the state department, the president and the cabinet received an ctline of the diplomatic steps taken ¢r contemplated since the Carranza government urged the withdrawal of American troops. # A decision as to what course now to pursue is to be reached between the #ilitary and diplomatic aspects of the it uation. Al night Funston's despatches c and are the fullest discus- sub- nijtted. They contain no mention of the reported death of Villa. That was the only hint of their contents Sec tary B would reveal. The sub- stance of the messag the secretary said, was beyond the realm of public discussion at this time, It is understood that show General Pershing's south now of the forthest point at which Villa's trail has been even indefinitely located. The pur- suit apparently is swinging westward, into the more mountainous regions. st the reports men to southern Villa's Escape Certain ' an Antonio, Tex., April 18.—If Francisco Villa is not dead he has now an excellent chance to escape into territory far beyond the most ddvanced of the American detach- ments, because the punitive force has penetrated about as far south as it i going to go with the present or- ganization. Official admission that it was possible to extend the main line of communication south of Satevo was taken today to mean that the field of oberations would be restricted to that Cistrict over which detachments of with provisions for one or vs could ride. Beyond the arc of that fan Villa would be safe so far as the Americans are concerned. General Pershing is believed to have explained in detail this phase of the situation in-a report to General I'unston and to have made recom- mendations that more effective facili- ties for the pursuit of Villa be au- thorized. im- MAKES NEW RECORD.

ATTACKS ON VERDUN RESUMED BY TEUTONS Germans Refreshed and With Muni- tions, Reopen Assault on “Gateway to Paris.” Paris, April 18, 5:45 a. m.—After six days rest while effectives were made up and stocks of ammunition replenished, the Germans have again begun concentrated attacks upon dif- ferent points of the Irench defense at Verdun. The first point selected was the one-mile section between the Meuse and Douaumont which forms a salient that seriously impedes the enemy. It includes the famous Pep- per Hill. Approaches to this position are fur- ther enfiladed by the French batteries on the west bank of the Meuse and it was with the view to facilitating operations against the salient that the Germans made their recent offensive against Cumieres and Dead Man Hill. That having failed, they now are try- ing the effect of direct wearing tactics, employing dense masses of infantry in small spaces, but so far with little success. The net result of their ef- forts has been the gain of a small salient west of Douaumont which, the French claim, is unimportant.
