INTENSE FEELING OF
ISOItm It HI SIIM ATS
El Paso, June 28.—The report this
morning that another family had
been murdered by Mexicans on the
American side, caused great excite
nunt here and elsewhere along the
border. Yesterday news arrived of
t1 c murder of William 1'acker, an
American ranchman and his wife. Fol-
h wing close on this outrage conies
the news today of the murder of Jose
Ellington, wife, three children and
two hired men and the burning of the
Islington ranc,h near Vadro Piedras.
Coming on the heels of Carrizal
and the hostile attitude recently man-
iftsted toward Americans by the
Mexican civil populace and the troops
of the defacto government, the new
laid aroused widespread speculation.
The general sentiment seemed to be
that the incident demonstrated anew
ti e inability of the 'Carranza govern
nunt to offer any protection to the
American frontier and that it would
so vo to bring matters to a head
qu'ckly.
A Punitive Chase.
Military authorities lierr doubted
that the marauders, who are believed
to have been members of a band of
stock thieves, would be overtaken be-
fore they crossed into Mexico, point-
ing out that the ranch is but four
miles from the line. Officers of thft
American border patrol had been lin-
age to learn whether any of the cav
a'rv detachments ordered in pursuit
have crossed the border because of
the isolation of the district. Convle.
t'on was expressed, however, that if
the troops discovered the raider's
trail they have followed them into
Mexican territory.

Headquarters of the British Army
in France, June 28.—These young
Canadians in khaki playing baseball
in a Belgian pasture could tell you
what the shell fire at Verdun was like.
They had been under it—the worst
that has been known on the British
front. Around them was the utter
quiet, of the country side; in the dis-
tance the guns were still growling
around Sorrel Hill, Sanctuary Wood
and I looge, the scene of the Canadi-
ans' greatest battle in France.
Mud-utained, blood-stained, they had
come away from the bloody piles of
dirt which had been their trenches
and after a long sleep they had won-
d >red why they were alive and started
to play baseball to pass the time till
they should go into the trenches
again. They had been in the thick
of it from 8:30 A. M. till 1:30 p. M. ol
June 2nd, right in the apex of the
Ypres salient, that bend in the line
which had stuck out as invitingly to
the Germans us the Verdun salient for
more than a year.
The Worst Evter.
The Germans could arrange their
guns in a fan-shape around It as they
could at Verdun; and they did. Whet
their guns began to speak the British
guns spoke back; and even the old
inhabitants of the Ypres salient
agreed that it was the worst ever.
Nobody on the spot ever supposed
that there were so many guns in
it her the German or the British
army.
But the officer inside the farmhouse
sitting at the farmer's dining room
tablfc could tell all about it—his small
part of it. He and his men had been
in and out of the trenches on their
shifts till they were quite used to the
monotony of the trench life and the
laily wastage. The morning of June
2nd was very quiet. A general who
i taken prisoner afterward, was
making an inspection. An occasional
rack of a bullet over head and an oc-
asional shot in answer- At 8:30 the
inferno broke without any more warn-
ing than a boiler explosion. They al-
ways do, British, or French, or Ger-
man.
What He Knew.
"Five point nine" (that new 5.9
inch German shell), "whiz-bangs,"
trench mortar /shells and "Silent
Lizzies" (a naval gun shell of high
locity which is not heard coming
until it bursts).
"I knew what we were in for," said
the officer.
Anybody with an experience at the
front would know. At any time either
ide wants to concentrate Its artillery
011 a certain frontage of trench that
frontage is bound to do down; and
attacking side can rush its infan-
try in and take the debris. The dif-
ficulty is to hold it. This time the
shells were coming from the front
and both sides. According to the
usual system they were laid on both
the front and the support trenches
v.ith a curtain of fire between the
two.
' You know the kind of country it
is," this quiet young officer from
Toronto went on.
Nature as well as the shells is
against the soldier. If he digs a
trench water fills if. Mostly he must
depend on sandbags—roofs and walls
of sandbags. He can not dig cellars
twenty feet under the earth and crawl
into them when the "cloudburst of
hell" descends as in hilly and moun-
tainous country. So nobody ever has
