WARFARE BY
U-BOATS
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, April S.-Ihe entire
submarine question probably win be
discussed at the cabinet meeting to-
morrow. Recent evidence that the
Sussex and ether unarmed merchant
men had been attacked without warn
ing By submarines win make it neces-
sary to change the administrations
plan for dealing with the broad ques-
ton of submarine warfare.
The United States recently had
planned to issue a complete definition
Of its position on arning merchant
men. These conclusions were to have
been reached on the understanding
with Germany that there would be
no attacks on unarmed ships, partic-
ularly liners. Consequently this
statement viii be withheld until the
fact of recent attacks is cleared up.

FIGHT
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Moultrie, Ca, April 3.-W. NJ. Lo-
gan, a Moultrie merchant; Jack Cal
houn and CIeve Calhoun, brothers,
were killed in pistol fight in barn
near here late yesterday. A note
found in Logan's clothes gave direc-
tions for the disposition of his body
and what he wished to be done with
his two small sons.
Logan and the Calhouns met Sun
day morning to discuss, 1t is reported,
difficulties between them arising over
the alleged attentions of the Cal
houns toward a member of Logan's
family. They agreed to meet again
for walk in the afternoon, but were
driven into the barn by a heavy show
er. E. L. Evans was with them.
Evans said today that just as they
were to leave the barn Logan fired
five shots, killing Jack and wounding
Cleve. The latter, mortally wounded,
drew his pistol, fired five times, and
killed Logan.

Washington, April k3.-Chairman
Chamberlain Of the sNnate military
committee today chal IA that perni-
cious activity on the part Of national
guard and regular army officers
threatened to undo months of serious
work by the military committee on
the army bill. Chamberlain's state
ments came after the committee had
passed over his objection an amend
ment to the army bill creating the
national guard section of the general
staff.
When recess was taken tonight
he was fighting another amendment
which would eliminate the provision
for federal volunteer army. Cham
berlain threatened that unless army
officers ceased making personal APP
peals to senator's he would have them
disciplined by the war department.
Senators MARITIME and Lee of Mary
land and Smith and Hardwick Of
Georgia all opposed the federal vol
unteer plan. Senator Williams OF
Mississippi urged that each state uni
versity should be turned into branch
of West Point. Chamberlain warned
the senate he would ask for night
sessions unless work on the bill pro,
ceeded more rapidly.

DODDS RIDE, VILLA HUNT SENSAT TON
MADE AS HERO'S RETIREMENT NEARS!

Ell Paso, Texas, April 3.-''This
chap who put Bandit Villa on the run
must be spry young fellow" is what
Mr.. Average American probably said
when he read of Dodd's ride, made
by Col. George A. Dodd when he
routed the bandit, Villa, at San
Geronimo ranch.
'fThis chap who stuck to his sad
die II hours straight, made 55-mile
dash into Mexican jungles, with ten
miles of it a running battle, must
have youth and fire and an iron con-
stitution."
But Col. Dodd, though he may be
spry, isn't young. ''The man Of the
hour" in the Mexican invasion is
SIXTY-FOUR.
He has been In the army 35 years.
In July he viii have reached the age
limit of military service and will be
retired.
Retirement for "age limit" cannot
dim the glory that closes the fighting
days of the veteran cavalryman. To
die fighting is a fate to which any
soldier may look forward, but to re-
tire at the close of a campaign that
would have daunted the courage, and
tested the endurance of youth, is q
triumph that comes to few fighting
men.
Col. Dodd is not a stage hero
the movies" viii never catch
him. He is a soldier, picturesque
in his way, the type of man Rem
ingtOn loved to paint. He is iron
nerved, steel-muscled and clear
minded.
Except "Black Jack" Pershing, the
daredevil of the cavalry, there is no
more daring rider In the army than
Col. Dodd.
The man who routed Villa is the
man who put the monkey drill" into
the United States cavalry, and he
made his men so agile and fearless
they could cut monkey shines" on
bare back of galloping horses.
Col. Dodd, so his men say, is a
''devil for discipline" Pity the man
who tries to Soldier" IN Col. Dodd's
regiment A shot from the most
sarcastic tongue in the United States
army brings him up quick to "atten-
ton"
Col. Dodd graduated from West
Point in 1876.
He soon afterward won his baptism

Nebraska The young lieutenant
could ride like q cowboy and he was

AMERICANS FOOLED
FOR A SHORT TIME
Now They Are On the Right
Track and Driving
Hard.
BY AssocTATTD pRFss.

FL Paso, April General villa,
unwounded, and with only eight men,
was at Satevo, fifty miles south of
Chihuahua City, two days ago, ac-
cording to information received from
Aeliable Mexican sources. If this is
correct it bears out the previous re-
ports that the bandit is headed to-
yards Parral and is leading his
tAmerican pursuers by at least sixty
miles.
The route Villa is supposed to have
taken from Guerrero is known to the
natives at "Panichos Road" The
man who brought the story here said
Villa had never taken part IN any
lighting with Americans. He left the
main band at Guerrero with instruc-
tons to oppose the Americans as far
as possible. He said the story that
Villa was wounded was concocted by
Villa himself and given to poems with
instructions to tell it to the Ameri-
cans.
The American column, fooled at
first, he said, is on the right track
T, now and driving towards Villa with
the advantage of a good road and
without the handicap of a lack of
forage and water.

white girl near Blackstone.
