In their attempts to flank Verdun on the west the Germans having succeed- ed in working their way through the Malancourt wood and the Avocourt wood have begun a heavy bombard- ment of the village of Esnes, about elght miles northwest of Verdun and Hill 304 which lies about a mile and a half north of Esnes. The French, however, are vigorously contesting a further advance eastward, which not alone would bring the German line nearer the fortress, but, spreading fan-like northeastward, would put in jeopardy the French in the region of Le Mort Homme. So great has been the counter of- fensive of the French guns that_ after debouching fro mthe woods, the Ger- mans were unable to launch an in- fantry attack and presumably are be- ing held hard to thelr newly gained lines. To the north and east of Verdun the cannonading has been only inter- mittent. In the Argonne Forest, in Lorraine and in upper Alsace the French guns have been active against Germa n positions and marching columns. On the river Somme the Germans entered a British trench but immediately were driven out.

SERIOUSNESS OF THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE New England Factories Closing—Un- able to Get Supplies. New York, March 21.—Because of the seriousness of the freight block- ade in New England, where factories are reported to be closing because of their inability to obtaip ccal and other supplies, the committee of railroad ex- ecutives working with the Interstate Commerce Commissioner E. ©. Clarke, announced tonight that it would send a group of experts to New England cities tomorrow to study the situatoin at_close range and devise remdies, Reports also have been ordered from every railroad in the eastern congest- ed territory, showing the condition of their lines as of midnight on Mondav.)

BROKER ALBERT P. MILLER INDICTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT Charged With Converting Funds En- trusted to His Care. Providence, R. I, March 21.—Albert P. Miller, Jr., an investment broker of this city, who was arrested in Boston two months ago on a charge of con- verting funds entrusted to his care, was indicted today for embezzlement. At the time of Miller's arrest the po- lice stated that the amount of the al- leged embezzlement would exceed $200,000.

NO NEWS FROM TROOPS IN MEXICO. Nothing Known of Result of Battle Between Carranza and Villa Forces. El Paso, Tex., March 21.—In the ab- sence of any news from either General Pershing or General Gavira, there was nothing left today but conjecture as to the result of the fighting between Carranza and Villa forces, said to have occurred near Namiquipa. There was a strong belief that Villa was not per- sonally involved In whatever fighting had occurred. It seemed reascnably certain that the bandit chief could not have been at Namiquipa and at the! various places at which he was placed | in advices to General Gavira during . the task. If it is true that Villa clashed at! i general battle in which he was de- | feated, 1t appears highly probable that | by this time his followers have come | in contact with the American columns. The advance guard of the Americans was reported at El Vallela, only 35 miles from Namiquipa. It is not be- lieved, however, that Villa would risk an open fight with General Pershing’s troops, but instead would split his men into small parties and Indulge in his ftavorite guerilla tactics. In_ spite of reassuring reports from Washington, there was no lessening to- day in the tension along the border, nor no weakeninz in the freely ex- pressed bellef that there was serious disaffection among the Carranza troops. | THIRTY BUSINESS BLOCKS | BURNED AT PARIS, TEX.

New York, March 21.—Charges of collusion between agents of the in- ternal revenue department and manu- facturers of cigars and cigarettes who are alleged to have been evading the law, have been brought to the atten- tion of government officials, it became known tonight in connection with the arrests here of manufacturers accused of misusing or failing to use inter- nal revenue stamps. Government of- ficers who are conducting the crusade admitted that such charges were be- ing investigated. Ninety Warrants lssued. Ninety warrants had been issued up to tonight for alleged violators of the internal revenue laws and forty-seven persons had been arrested. Each of the accused was held in $1,500 baill for the federal grand jury. The charges of collusion have come principally from the accused manu- facturers, some of whom are said to have declared they had been paying from $1 to $10 a week to revenue agents for “protection” against prose- cution. Others expressed amazement ing arrested and their proper for conducting their business as they had for years in a wey they said they had cgme to believe was permitted by the government. Going on For Years. Officials of the department of inter- nal revenue and of the department of Justice asserted violations of the law had been goinz on for years and de- clared the government had been de- frauded of millions of dollars in fees. Government apd Consumers De- frauded. Not only the government but the consumers have been defrauded ac- cording to L. G. Nott, collector of in- ternal revenue. At some of the fac- tories raided boxes were found, he said, which originally had contained expensive imported cigars but which had been re-filled with an inferior imitation made on the FEast Side. These cigars, he sald, were sold over the counter as the zenuine imported product. Most of them bore clever imitations of the bands of popular high class cigars.
