The denial from Washington that any
of Gen Trevinos' forces have denounced

Is that the Carranza forces are focking
to the Villa standard faster than the
bandit leader can reorganize them. These
reports indicate as wholly false Trevtnos'
assertion that he has sent an army to

ALLIES FILE PROTESTS
Declare Big Submersible Is a
Warship Without Right to
Merchant Privileges.
ITALIANS PLAN TO OBJECT
State Department Official Says This
Government Must Accept English .
Statement if Craft Is Sunk.

British naval vessels will fire upon the
German super-submarine liner Deutsch-
land "at sight It will be treated as
warship, regardless OF any ruling the
United States government may make.
II the Deutschland is destroyed by a
British warship. the State Department
will make no inquiries
These facts were made plain at the
British Embassy and at the State De-
partment yesterday
The British and French Embassies pro-
tested to the State Department against
this governments action in permitting
the Deutschland TO enter an American
port. They protested also against per-
mitting the Deutschland TO take on pro-
visions. They declared to the State De-
parement that the Deutschland is a
warship and therefore is entitled to none
Of the rights enjoyed by a peacea BILE
merchantmen.
At the British Embassy the position OF
the British government was outlined as
follows:
British Point of View.
In view OF the methods Of subnna-
rine warfare employed by Germany in
the present war, the Deutschland must
be considered as a war vessel
No enemy vessel moving under the wa
ter can be considered by Great Britain
as anything but Varship. and it will be
treated accordingly.
The British-and the allied,-view is that
the submarine vessels ought not to be
permitted to take on supplies at all in
neutral port Norway and Sweden
adopted a rule during this war prohibit
ing access to their jurisdictions of bel
ligerent submarine vessels and airplanes.
The movements of a submarine vessel
may be quite invisible. and its actions
cannot be controlled as those of an
ordinary vessel. 1t can dive quickly. and
there would be every reason for believing
that one seen at sea was a warship.
The submarine is essentially a war vessel
and to treat it otherwise would be to
invite disaster.
Not Regarded As Merchant
The allied embassies in washington
were desirous of "dissipating the senti-
ment that the allied governments regard
the Deutschland as a peaceable merchant
ship" it was declared at the British EN-
bassy. 1t was said another formal pro-
test against the admission Of the
Deutschland to an American port will be
presented to the State Department by
the Italian government.
The British protest to the State De-
partment means that the right of visit
and search and warning will be denied
to the Deutsc hland, to the Brennan and
to all other German submarine merchant
men. 1t will make no difference, from
the British point of view, whether or
not the submarine liner carries mails and
passengers. In view of the potentialities
of a submarine ship, a State Department
official said. the government will be
obliged to take Great Britain's word II
one of her war vessels destroys the
Deutschland and she asserts that it was
destroyed while attempting to escape.
