WILSON TEMPORIZES WITH
THE CARRANZA DEMANDS
WASHINGTON, D- C., April 16.—
A soft answer turnoth away wrath
and Wilson is now disposed to an
swer quite softly the demand of Car
ranza that the American troop3
withdraw.
The American reply will be in the
nature of an assurance that Amer
ican troops will not penetrate much
doepor into Mexico, and that they
: will withdraw within a reasonable
time or when Carranza is able to
handle the situation.
Thp administration is determined
to avoid all war with Mexico if poss
ible, and it is roalized that Persh
ing’s penetration too deep into Mex
ico might result in disaster to tht*
whole punitive force.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—
There is no mistaking the strong
interventionist sentiment that pre
vails in Congress and recent events
have not by any means abated it.
However it is deemed imprudent to
take any action at this
time might make more diffi
cult the problem which it
is conceded. President Wilson has
so far handled ably and well, al
though Wilson freely concedes that
all the credit Is due to Lansing.
The reply of the State Department
will be of a temporizing nature, In
the meanwhile American prepara
tions for emorgendies will be rushed
at top spoed. • The crisis i.; by no
means over.
NEAR ULTIMATUM DUE
GERMANY FROM STATES
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—
Secretary Lansing admits that the
relations between the Unitc4 States
and Germany are now strained to
the breaking point, and almost past
redemption. He admits further that
after a cabinet conference with Pre
sident Wilson steps had been ap
proved which would perhaps have
very serious results but for which
the nation must make ready.
I A near-Ultimatum is to bo4 dis
patched to Germany and will be
ready on Monday.
BERLIN, April 16.—The Chan
cellor lias assured Ambassador Ger
ard that the government is posses
sed of a profound desire and deter
mination to satisfy America.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—
Little stock is taken In the declara
tion that Germany desires to satisfy
America. It is believed' that Ger
many intends to diplomatize witn
one point of view and act with an
other.
It is pointed out that the Morgan.
Albey and Invcrlyn were attacked
without warning although absolutely
unarmed, and on each of these were
Americans and the lives of these
were everyone of them thus imper
illed.
Moreover, Amoiccns endeavoring
to escape from tho wr.r zone under
the German system of attacking
outgoing neutrals proceeding to neu
tral nations, are denied safoty in
any way. The situation is officially
declared to be intolerable.

SEATTLE, April 16.—Wr.r is now
declared upon r.ll bootleggers an!
Prosecutor Lundin announces that
he will roughhouso bootleggers and
those drug stores that are making
a speciality of selling booze against
the law.
The new chief of police haa given
summary orders to this end also to
patrolmen and detectives, and it 1-,
not likely that bootlegging will be
come a flourishing business.
The flagrant and brazen attempt
to violate the law at tlio very be
ginning of its enforcement has
helped not a little to make this town
really dry.
