CARRANZA DEMANDS THAT
TROOPS LEAVE MEXICO
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.
President Carranza has sent a note
to the United States government de
manding the withdrawal of the
United States troops from Mexican
soil. The Carranzist government
holds that in the defeat and dissi- j
pitation of the Villatist forces, the
object of the American invasion ot
Mexico has been accomplished.
EL. PASO, April 13.—The situa
tion in Mexico has reached a stage
where its gravity it is impossible to
disguise. Thirty thousand seasoned
Carranza troops now have complete
ly surrounded fourteen thousand
Americans who could be cut oft
from their base of supplies with ease
This fact taken in conjunction with
the Carranza demand for the with
drawal of American troops from
Mexico is admitted to present seri
ous possibilities in the event of the
Mexicans getting hostile.
Confidence is heard expressed that |
the Americans could take care of
themselves, but that it would be at
a high cost cannot be doubted.
SAN ANTONIO, April 13.—The
first cause of the friction with the
Carranza government is that a skir
mish took place near Parral when
Mexicans deliberately attacked the
American troops. The Americans I
replied with the result that severa’. |
Mexicans were killed.
EL. PASO, April 13.—Villatists
sacked Sierra Mocada near Jiminicz,
destroying much ammunition ana
property.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—
The Carranza note contends that
the American troops crossed into j
Mexico without permission and
should be withdrawn until proper
formal compact is arranged. The
note insists that former notes em
phasized that permission for reci
procal crossing would be granted
only in tho event of a repetition of
a raid similar to that upon Colum
bus.
EL PASO, April 13.—General
Obregon, Mexican Minister of War
wired General Gavira that tho Am
ericans entered Parral without per
mission, exchanging shots with a
hostile people during which one Am
erican soldier was killed. During
the trouble that ensued many were
killed on both sides, the Carranza
soldiers however restored order.
COLUMBUS, April 13.—Many mi
litary authorities believe that unless
the Carranza demands are accepted
a break will follow with Mexico.
They attach significance to the
constitutionalists occupying strategic
points covering the American lines
of supply practically controlling
Pershing's line of communications.
VERDUN LULL WHILE
GERMANS FILL
PARIS, April 13.—Desultory fight
ing and an occasional hurst ot ar
tillery activity were all that inter
rupted the lull that prevailed today
at Verdun front after yesterday's
terrific offensive by the Gormans.
The lull is proof enough of the
enormous losses which the Germans
incurred in their attacks between
Vaux and Douamont where corpses
are blackening the fields thick as
flies upon carrion.
The Germans are now replenish
ing their depleted ranks.
PARIS, April 13.—The official
communique says that there is a lull
at the Verdun front. The report
also quotes General Retain as saying
that the Germans are losing three
men to every Frenchman killed,
wounded or missing.
ROME, April 13.—A Zurich even
ing dispatch says that the Kaiser is
again ill from the strain of the Ver
dun battle where he has been watch
ing and in many cases directing the
fighting.
The Kaiser is said to be deeply
warned over the inability of his
troops to break through, and the
tromendous losses of his Oranden
burgers who fought with a heroic
gallantry unequalled in the history
of war, is said to have had a very
depressing effect upon him.
He returned to Berlin from the
West front yesterday.
BERLIN, April 13.—The Ger
mans attacked Hill 304 this after
noon; the French are strongly de
fending this position. No advance
was made. The hill is being bomb
arded this evening.
WAR SUBJECTS STILL
TAKE TIME SENATE
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—
Legislation in connection with war
and rumors of war still occupies the
time of the Senate. Today they
wrestled with the army bill making
some progress, but the test vote to
day finally forecasts the passage of
the bill. The Senate has agreed to
the incorporation of the govern
ment's plan to establish a hydro
electric nitrogen plant in the bill.
Ths vote discloses the standing of
both sides.
It is also announced that the gov
eminent will place small munition
orders with plants throughout the
country In order to teat the ability
of these to furnish supplies in war
times.
The idea is vehemently condemn
ed by the more powerful munition
Ists, but the government says that
it is the only practicable plan. They
cannot rely on any one firm to sup
ply them with their munition needs,
no matter how large or monopolistic
they may be.
Wilson says that he will stick to
his nomination of Brandeis regard
less of what action can he taken. It
is known that ho is highly disap
pointed to say tho least that big
business should have been so suc
cessful in opposing the nomination.
Morgenthau denies his 'osignation
officially.
The report has no foundation In
fact.

VILLA REACHES SISTINA
AND CONFERS WITH RERELS
EL. PASO, April 13.—Absolutely
reliable reports show that General
Villa has at length reached the Sls
tlna Valley and he is now conferring
with the Arietta brothers who with
several thousand finely equipped sol*
rflors are ready to take the field.
Some belief la held that these will
prefer to remain on their defensive
guerilla warfare with which they
iiave already terrorized the whole
state rather than tackle the Amer
icans now after them.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. April IS.—
Notwithstanding the Carranza re
guest for a withdrawal of the forces
under Pershing It Is practically ad
mitted that the Ameicans will carry
out their original campaign and kill
or capture Villa.
SAN DIEGO, April 13.—Reports
| have just reached here that VUlatist
raids have been mado on Guaymas in
which several Americana were killed
'and Injured. The Vlllatista are ex
ceedingly active back Of the town
and may force its surrender. Am
erican ships of war are now in the
vicinity and would resist any at
tempt to attack the city.
WASHINGTON. D. C.r April 1*.
The Mexican situation Is admitted
growing serious as far as possible
developments are concerned, but so
far there are is no anxiety for a
peaceful outcome.

ARMENIAN RELIEF FUND
i NOW HALF A MILLION
NEW YORK, April 13.—It Is an
nounced that the Armenian Reliel
Fund is now over half a million.
While the fund is from one point of
view satisfactory it is recognized as
j being wholly insufficient to extend
relief to all cases which are urgently
needing it.
The disposition of (he fund is also
causing some dispute. The Russian
.roops under Duke Nicolas now prac
Ically control Armenia and whether
;o give tho relief through Russia or
through the Ottoman government
ias not been decided upon.

GOVERNMENT DOUBTS THE
GEMRAN SUSSEX DISCLAIMER
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 13.—
The government Is now considering
the German reply to the Sussex note.
It Is not regarded as satisfactory.
The point blank denial of the at
tack by a German submarine Is not
accopted. The Stato Department
claims that the Minister of Marino
has not received all tho facts be- ;
cause a mine layer was sunk at the !
same time and place as tho attack J
was made upon the Sussex and the
mine layer sinking was undoubtedly |
the work of a U boat, having been 1
given time to disembark Ur crew.
Moreover even In the event of the
Sussex case not being subjecteu to
doubts, the lack of satisfaction .7.

prior to the Lusitania negotiations,
tlie State Department is exceedingly
chagrined.
Another note along the some line
will be dispatched to Germany,
after that of course much will de
pend upon Germany's reception of
the American counter reply and the
general attitude upon the submarine
question. The trouble comes at an
awkward time when Mexico complica

correspondent forecasts the gather

Papers are generally conjecturing
what the President's plan of cam*

night’s discourse.
Strangely enough many issues are
mentioned with which his party has
no sympathy whatever: Prepared
ness on a gigantic scale, a tariff
board, and the budget system.
But it is unlikely that Wilson
will, consider anything of the two
last mentioned subjects. They are
not campaign stuff and campaiga
stuff is all that will engage the elo
