WITH C0WARD|CE
SEVERE CRITICISM OF EMPRESS men FROM

EVIDENCE ACCUMULATING THAT HUNDREDS OF LIVES
MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED IF LINERS men HAD
ODEYED THEIR OFFICERS

Quebec, Can, June Evidence
is accommodating to show that the
loss of hundreds of lives in the En-
press of Ireland disaster could have
been materially lessened. From the
suffering survivors of the terrible
tragedy are coming charges of COW
ardice and brutality against members
of the crew. The investigation of
the affair will be the most searching
that has ever been conducted in Can
ada.
Captains Kendall and Anderson, of
the two vessels will confront each
other at the inquiry and be sharply
questioned. Each commander blames
the other for the tragedy.
Survivors today accuse the crew Of
filing the first two life boats launch
ed, while men, women and children
pleading for help; that the boats
pulled away with ample room for
additional occupants. Sailors are
charged with pushing men from the
apen boats when they attempted to
save themselves.
The survivors declare that the
weather was not f0Pgy and fhey
could see the Storstad a mile away
putting out boats after the collision.

HUERTA AND BRYAN
SPLIT ON ARMISTICE
Dictator Not likely to Accept
Contention That Status Quo
Has Been Maintained.
from The Tribun. Bureau1

Washington. May 9. According to
statements made by the Secretary OF
State to-day the answer OF the govern
ment to Huerta's complaint to the A 3 G
mediators that the United States had
violated the armistice was simply that
the United States had taken no "agSres-
sive action" and that the military status
quo had been maintained. II is by no
means certain that the answer will be
satisfactory to Huerta. and the situation
may lead to complications.
When Secretary Bryan was asked what
the military status quo" was he re-
ferred inquirers TO the War Department.
The Secretary OF War however. said that
he was not going TO interpret II. as II was
a matter for the State Department.
Huerta makes the landing Of Funston's
brigade a basis Of complaint. as the land
ing took place just as the armistice was
agreed upon. The American contention
is that the landing OF Funstons force was
not aggressive. as no effort was made 70
advance, that il did not change the status
quo because Funston's men only relieved
the naval force ashore and merely oper-
ated TO retain the military position al
ready established There was no increase.
generally speaking, OF the American force
in Vera Cruz. Furthermore, Funston had
started for the front before an armistice
had been proposed.
There is no doubt here, despite official
retlcence. that Funston has been rear
ranging his forces around Vera Cruz, but
il Is said by Secretary Garrison that he
has had no orders to extend his lines, nor
has he asked permission 10 do so. No
orders have been sent for him not 10 do
so, although. according 10 Mr.. Garrison.
this might be inferentially considered the
case.
When Mr.. Garrison was asked II Fun
ston had strengthened his forces at the
waterworks outside Vera Cruz. where
there is a point OF contact with the Mex
lean army. Mr.. Garrison said that Gen
eral Funston reported that he had.
But" ssid Mr. Garrison, there IS
big difference between making line
thicker and lengthening one"

The teachers. mostly women with the
gentle faces and pretty manners common
TO almost all Mexican women, sat under
wide inner portico. while Major Miller
through an Interpreter, told them OF the
desire of the Americans to get schools
started as soon as possible and asked
those willing TO serve TO say SO.
Most Of the teachers replied politely,
saving that while they would teach their
former pupils privately, they did mol
wish TO serve officially under Americans
