WASHINGTON, DEC. 11.-Increas-
ed facilities for keeping the United
States from being drawn into the mael-
strom of the European War and more
specific authority for the punishment
OF persons who jeopardize American
neutrality are the principal needs of
the arm of the Government to be met
by the present Congress, according to
the recommendation contained in the
annual report of Attorney General
Thomas w. Gregory which was laid
before Congress today.
The Attorney General lays especial
stress on the many dangers to our
neutrality which lie in what around
every corner and emphasizes the pres
ent helplessnes sof the government in
putting stop to the conspiracies,
counter.conspiracies, bomb plots, fill
clustering expeditions and the score
of other crimes, the repeated commits
sion OF which by foreigners and agents
Of foreign governments, he says, has
harassed the United States since the
outbreak of the European conflict.
The added burden of neutrality
worries has not lessened internal pro-
blems, however, the Attorney General
says. His report urges that the laws
against monopolies and the statutes
as to other business matters be tigh-
tened, and recommends reforms in
connection with the judiciary, and
the operation of federal prisons.
An unmistakable outgrowth of the
Fay bomb plot which Government
agents unearthed Mt New York is the
Attorney Generals recommendation
that 1T should be specifically made a
crime against the United States to
place bombs or other explosives on
vessels sailing from the ports OF the
United States.

VILLA SEEMS ABLE
TO ''COME BACK
Mexican General, Like the ProverbiaI
Cat, Appears to Have
Nine Lives
BY Pac. and IntI News Service.

Ell PASO, Dec. 11.-Despite the fact
that Carranza troops have had Villa
and his forces surrounded, and the
world has been anticipating the news
that villa was captured and had been
either exiled or executed, but while
his enemies have been dreaming of
capturing him, he has been doing some
rapid side-stepping and today he ar
rived at MADEIRA, having eluded the
watchers on the west coast, and he is
enroute to Juarez TO begin new CAM
paign against his enemies, whom he
terms, the enemies of Mexico. He
wired his brother Col Hipolito Villa,
commander of Juarez. to repudiate the
currency that he had fioated a few
months ago. but to guarantee its ex-
change by new silver pesos. He has
planned the coming of twenty to thirty
millions of pesos from the silver in
the mines at Chihuahua which he cap
tured when he gained possession of
the mines there, most of which were
owned by Americans.

helm at Norfolk. Va, comes the re-
commendation in the report that "it
should be made crime against the
United States for any person to es-
cape or attempt to escape from an
interned warship of q belligerent ma
tion; and in any event, authority
should be given to some department of
the Government to arrest and return
ternment."
Reports of thefts of plans of forti-
fications and data of military value
prompted the Attorney General to ask
legislation to punish spies engaged up
on this work. The present statutes
are vague and of little force, he says.
The Attorney General reports Ina.
there is at present no adequate law
under which the Government may
seize and retain arms and ammunition
which are being exported or which
there Is no reason to believe are about
to be exported in violation of the
Presidents proclamation of an embar-
so on shipments of arms to Mexico.
Neither is there any adequate law for
the seizure of arms intended for the
outfitting of a military expedition. The
Attorney General recommends that
authority be given the United States
to make such seizure.
These meaters require immediate
attention, Says Mr.. Gregory, but he
adds that questions have arisen
which show the need of a revision of
the statute law bearing on our in
ternational- relations"
The work of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation in connection with neu-
trality cases, says the report, has
steadily increased and 1t is still In
creasing."
The Attorney General asks appro-
priation for the next fiscal year to the
extent of $11,107,546, an increase OF
$437,227 over last years supply.
