The Vague Points.

II - confidently believed that the
President will seek an explanation from
the Imperial Government IN certain
points in the German note which are
vague and subject to several interprc-
tations.
The'" is appdr, ,ntly no desire here to
question the good faith of o;ermanys
orders To- submarine commanders direct
ing tnat submarine operations he con-
du ted according to the general nrinCl-
pies Of visit and search OF merchantmen
Rut the German note contains the det-
mite statement that orders to suhma rine
commanders. which have been in effect
right along, haN" been to operate in ac-
cordan e with the general principles Of
visit and search, except in the case OF
enemy freghters in the war zone.
This part of the note presents n puZ-
zling and unsatisfactory 'roblem for the
Administration. Germany intimates that
except in the case Of enemy freighters.
the present methods of warfare have not
been changed he aIse il was not neces-

Reports from Alpine. Preside, Mara
thon and other towns say the set
tiers have been appealing vainly for
months. both to the national Gov
ernment and to the State Govern
ment, and that they We're assured
by Gen. Funston that they were In no
real danger and that the CarranZistas
could be trusted to prevent fOrays into
Texas, Now the citizens are organiz-
ing into posses and are going south
to try to protect themselves.
Meanwhile Gen. Funston, in COM
mand at the border, is hurrying troops
toward the scene oi the murders and
the robbery. He has placed Col. Fred
erick Sibley in command of IA cavalry
detachment which will strike south
from Marathon. on the Southern Pa
cic Railroad, and will try to catch
up with the bandits before they cs-
cape across the river.
Probably Col. Sibley will go into
Mexico after them. since his orders
from Gen. Funston are merely to get
the raiders, Troop A of the Four
teenth Cavalry, under Capt, Cole rode
southwark from Alpine this morning.
Two troops of the Fourteenth are
now on special train hound from
