government intends to present con-
stantly in order that notifications OF
alleged illegal practices may De Cd

Quite an ugly story about the
shooting Of the crew Of a helpless Ger
man submarine by the marines or a
English patrol boat is being told by
multeers recently returned from a trip
to England on the Leyland line steam
er Micosian. According to the state
ments Of the multeers, the submarine
U-27 attacked the mule transport,
Nicosian, and the British patrol ship
Baralong, came up flying the Ameri-
CHI HdS. py IC0col VI NtS iSo
Baralong was able to get close enough
to the U-27 to sink it before it could
defend itself. The German sailors
Jumped from the submarine into the
water and the marines on the Bara-
long shot them to death, as they
struggled in the water. All but the
captain, who was taken on the
Baralong and shot by order OF the
commander. According to the multeers
eleven members Of the crew OF the
U-27. including the captain, were
killed. Capt. Manning, Of the Nicosian,
says that he did not see an American
flag on the NicoSian, and he denies
that the German submarine men were
murdered as the multeers claim. Af1-
davits of the multeers have been placed
in the hands Of Count o B~ernstorff.
THE wal is just beginning" said
Gen. Villa upon receiving the news or
the recognition Of the Carranza rae
ton, says an FL Passo, Texas, dis
patch Of Saturday. Villa was ready
to leave for Casas Grandes, where he
is said to have 10000 men when the
news reached him. Satisfaction rather
than resentment was generally ex-
pressed by the chief Of the northern
leaders. Col. Darcio Silva, assistant
chief of staff, one Of the three mem
bers of the original band OF eight VINO
entered the revolution with Villa, a
that now would begin a campaign that
would cause constant surprise. w
will enter Sonora with 10000 men," he
said. Twenty thousand are at Casas
Grandes. We are well armed and
equipped. Just what our plans are
cannot be revealed but arrangements
have been completed for a campaign
which l believe will surprise the
world" A reception by Villa to about
so women, a host Of Mexican officials
and others delayed Villas departure
until Saturday night. In addressing the
American women Villa said: My
enemies say / nave a hoard of money
in the banks. l have no money. l
have only faith in my cause for which
/ am fighting. Please tell Americans
recognize Carranza they only open
the way for anarchy in Mexico, for
Carranza means favoritism for the
moneyed interests"
Washington, October IL: A de-
mand upon all Americans upon pain Of
ostracism to be more than neutral in
regard to the European war, to take
their stand for America first, last n
all the time, was voiced by President
Wilson here today in a speech at the
celebration Of the 25th anniversary OF
the founding Of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution. The United
States. the president said, was not
merely trying to keep out Of trouble,
but was trying to preserve the founda-
tons upon which peace could be re-
built. Peace can be rebuilt" he add
ed. only upon the ancient and &C.
cepted principles Of international law:
only upon those things which remind
nations of their duties to each other
and deeper han that, Of their duties
to mankind and humanity. America
has a great cause which is not con-
fined to the American continent. 1t
is the cause of humanity itself" De-
claring his faith in the loyalty of the
great body of naturalized citizens Of
foreign birth, the president said he
believed the impression was too gen.
eral that a large number of these citi-
zens were without a sufficient affection
for the American ideal. But l am in
a hurry to have a lineup" he ex-
planned, land let the men who are
thinking first Of other countries stand
on one side, and those who are for
America, first, last and all the the time
on the other side"
