GERMAN PROTEST. IGNORED
Killing of Submarine Crew by British
Sailor Does Not Concern This
Government

Washington, Oct. 19.-High State
Department officials indicated today
that,n no action would be taken by this
government in the matter of the aft
davits filed by Berlin alleging that
ten German submarine sailors were
killed in violation of international law,
as reported by American members of
the crew of the British steamer Nico-
sian
The report of the use of the Aneri-
can flag by the British patrol boat
which sunk the submarine, it was
said, offered the only international
question 1t was definitely asserted
that the right of warships to use the
flags of 4 neutral nation as a ruse,
whether in attacking or in flight, has
been clearly established and recog-
nized. and in actual practice for more
than hundred years.
The killing of the German sailors
as they were trying to escape does not
put any duty upon this government to
protest to Great Britain, according to
the present attitude of the State De-
partment- This alleged barbarity
stands on the same international legal
footing as alleged atrocities in Bel

EMBARGO ON ARMS TO VILLA
President Wilson Issues Orders to
Stop Shipment Of War Supplies
to Mexican Rebels.

Washington, Oct. 21.-President
Wilson today declared an embargo on
the shipment of arms and ammunition
to Mexico.
President Wilson signed a supple
mentary order, however. which ex-
empts General Carranza's government
from the embargo and permits NUM-
lions to go through to him unhamp-
cred. The prohibition applies to the
factions opposed to the government
which the United States has recog-
nized.
The Villa agency here closed its
doors today and the junta scattered.
1t was announced that, in view of the
recognition of General Carranza, there
was no further need for maintaining
1t. The closing of the agency was re-
garded as significant in the Latin col
ony as indicating the Villa forces were
not going in for an active campaign,
at least in Washington.

TEXAS HAS ANOTHER FLOOD
Near Denison Crops Were Destroyed

Denison, Tex, Oct. 19.-Crops
worth hundreds of thousands of dol
lars were destroyed and railway traf-
f1c in some sections of North and Cen

resulted from the heavy rains of yes
terday and last night. The corn crop
has been entirely ruined in various
places, while thousands of bales of
cotton have been destroyed.
The Red river, which rose thirteen
feet, carried away 165 feet of the

with four loaded coal cars, used as an
anchor. All passenger trains north

ENGLISH CABINET NEAR SPLIT
Resignation of Sir Edward Carson,
Attorney General.

London, Oct. 19.=Sir Edward Car
son, attorney general, has resigned
from the British cabinet
The resignation of Sir Edward, the
first open manifestation of the diver
gence of views known to exist among
the ministers, is the result, according
to an authoritative statement, not of
the controversy over CONSUMPTION, but
of the conditions of affairs in the
Near East
Sir Edward, himself, so far, has
made no personal explanation of his
reason for resigning, but it is under
stood that he disappToves of the pol
icy which is being followed in the Bal
kans and the method of confiding the
whole national policy to a small lin
ner cabinet
It is expected there will be exciting
debates in the House of Commons this
week, as severe attacks on the gov
eminent are planned by members of
the house in connection with the gen.
eraI military policy. especially in the
Near East.
The Morning Post, the leading con-
servatiye newspaper, says editorially:
Sir Edward Carson resigned on the
Near Eastern question The govern
ment again has had strong advice and
urgent counsel, but allowed that ques-
ton to drift, and Sir Edward Carson,
who had strong convictions on what
he regarded as the right policy for
the country, refused to share the re-
sponsibility for the results of post
poning or evading a decision. We cam
not quarrel with him for taking the
momentouS step. On the contrary no
man of intellect and courage could
remain in a government which dallies
with and postpones its decisions from
day to day on issues where delay is
dangerous and may be fatal

KANSAS WRECK KILLS ELEVEN
Through Bridge Near Randolph
Thirty-two Were Injured.

Randolph, Kas., Oct. 18.-Estimates
based on the number of passengers,
the known dead and the survivors &C
counted for here, place the toll of the
wreck of the Union Pacific motor
train one mile south of here early
Saturday, at eleven lives. Thirty-two
were injured.
The fast motor train tore through a
bridge abutment at Fancy creek and
plunged head first into fifteen feet of
water and mud. Eleven bodies have
been recovered
When the car which plunged head
first into the creek was raised today,
the front end dropped out, carrying
into the flooded streams those bodies
which the rescuers were unable to
reach last night.
All afternoon the graphing chains
of the wrecking crew sent from Man
haitian slipped and broke in straining
at the heavy car, which, due to the
force of the fall from the bridge and
the weight of the car, sank many feet
into the mud at the bottom of the
stream. In the meantime, the stream
which a three-inch rain yesterday con-
verted into torrent, banked mud and
sand about and into the car, making
the problem of raising more difficult
each hour.
OF the sixty-fve passengers in the
car when the bridge abutment sagged
under it, but seventeen escaped in
jury. In the melee that followed the
plunge bones were broken, faces and
bodies were lacerated by flying glass
and in crashing against seats, and sew
eral persons were killed outright
Those who did not hold or were not
caught were shot down the tipping
car into the inf1owing water. 1t is be-
lieved the greater part of the deaths
occurred by drowning
The official list of identified dead
follows: DR.. Louis Atwood, Topeka;
G. T. Brummitt, Topeka; A o. Shaw,
Tecumseh, Neb.; Miss Ethel Refer,
Manhattan, Kas.; Leo Smith, Tecum-
sch, Neb.; Carl Stoneberg, Randolph,
