WITH AWFUL MASSACRES IN SERBIA
A. P. A. Service.
ROME, March 23.—It is inti
mated in official circles that the
allied governments have obtained
possession of evidence of a docu
mentary nature proving beyond
the shadow of a doubt that the
Austrians and Bulgarians are
guilty of the most horrible crimes
in Serbia since the beginning of
the joint invasion of the armies of
Germany, Bulgaria and Austria.
It is claimed that the evidence
shows that massacres worse than
those perpetrated by the Turks
in Armenia may be charged to
the Austrians and Bulgarians.
Germany is exonerated from all
zoiuplicity afid the conduct of the
German forces was exemplary so
far as the records show but the
acts of the Austro-Bulgarian
troops are declared to be of the
most outrageous nature. The
Serbs were killed in thousands
and in the most wanton manner
while women were subjected to
the most unspeakable brutalities.
The claim is made that the vic
tims will exceed seven hundred
thousand in number. It is said
that the report will shortly be
published. _

* SAN ANTONIO March 23.—
Although reports have reached
here stating that the American
troops are now in touch with the
Villa bandits and skirmishing is
going on at intervals the reports
are not accepted as official at
present as up to noon today noth
ing had been heard from General
Pershing for sixty hours.
The last report filed by the
commander of the expeditionary
force concerned the disposition
of the cavalry scouts araund Casa
Grande and indicated nothing as
to the probable location of the
VILLA REPORTED WEST
OF NAMIQUIPA
By A P. A. Service.
EL PASO, March 23.—Ac
cording to reports arriving here
today Villa has established a base
somewhere to the westward of
Namiquipa to reorganize his com
mand and recruit men for a larger
army. The reports say that the
bandit leader is in communica
tion with Herrera and will prob
ably lay plans to operate in con
junction with Her^*ra’s force
which is said to consist of about
three thousand men. The failure
to hear from Pershing for the past
several days is now attributed to
the operation of numerous wire
less stations along the border.
.Complaints arriving from Dou
glas indicate that amateur wire
less operators along the bound
ary line greatly interfere with the
wireless from Pershing’s com
mand.

thought to be a considerable dis
tance from Casa Grande.
t'unston professes no anxiety as
to the welfare of any o"I the
troops. He admits, however, that
the exact whereabouts of Persh
in gis unknown at headquarters.
It is considered probable here
that Pershing is out with one
; f the three detachments which
are operating away from the
wireless and is therefore in no
position to report.
