Cozenave had sobbed, as they turned
toward home. Albert said nothing, but
he sat for a long time in the dark

No word came from the lad, other
than a line TO announce that he had
landed in France. Day after day dragged
by with the. reports of bloody fighting
and no news from Guillard. Cozenave
no longer boosted that he would live

could wait, dreading the morrow.

MAY PUT SUBMARINE
MATTER UP TO CONGRESS
President VIII Do So Before Taking
Any Decisive Action.

Washington, March 27.-The presi-
dent is seriously considering going be-
fore congress and laying the entire
question of submarine warfare before
the members of the senate ard house
Certainly he will communicate the sit
uation fully to congress before taking
an definite steps which might lead to
the severance of diplomatic relations.
All phases of the situation probably
would be discussed at the cabinet
meetin gtomorrow
Official expression of the attitude Of
the administration was avoided today,
but high officials made no attempt to
minimize the gravity of the situation
which will confront the United States
if it is established conclusively that a
German submarine sank the Sussex, an
unarmed, pea ceful, passenger carrying g
vessel, in violation of the rights of hu-
manity, thep rinciples of international
law and the solemn assurances regard
ing the conduct of submarine warfare
which have been given to the United
States by the central European pow
erS.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, who, it was stated with
authority today, was chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for the retirement of Grand Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz, has been out of
town for several days, but is expected
to return tomorrow. He probably will
communicate with Secretary Lansing
soon after his arrival.
The discovery of number of frag-
ments of metal aboard the Sussex, in
Guiding a large piece of bronze found
by French naval officer, has been re-
ported by Ambassador Sharp at Paris.
The naval officer, according to state
department dispatches, says the piece
of bronze is a part of a torpedo.

General Carranza has granted the
right. to use the Mexican railways.
United States army headquarters in

comotiveS and cars to make up sup
ply trains. Scores % engineers, con-
d0ctors and brakemen. who already
have seen service in Mexico, are ready
to make UP the crews.
While public opinion is pessimistic
regarding any speedy termination to
the pursuit of Villa, one hope persists.

had to match his generalship against

soldiers. The American aviators have
had little opportunity. thus far. to

EVIDENCE INDICATES

President Wilson is Awaiting Receipt
of Conclusive Evidense.

Washington, March 27.-with all ev-

ly here today that if a German subna-
rine made the attack the imperial gov
ernment would disavow the act, pun
ish the submarine commander. offer
reparation and satisfy the United
States. This, it seemed tonight, that
the issue might narrow down to the
question of whether the United States
would be wiling to accept such q
declaration from the Berlin govern
ment. President Wilson is awaiting
with deep concern the receipt of con-
elusive evidence not only in regard to
the Sussex, aboard which several
Americans narrowly escaped death.
but as to the sinking of the British
steamship Englishman. One life is
said in the latest official reports to
have been lost when the Englismhman
went down.
Already, it was intimated at the
state department, the United States
has information sufficient to warrant
the making Of an inquiry of the Ger
man government as to whether anv
of its submarines fired a torpedo al
the Sussex or the Englishman.
THE president, however, feels that
all the details available should be AT
hand before definite action is taken

today as being grave.
