Gerard Sends No Word Regarding At

Washington, April 1. = Three days
have passed since Ambassador Ger
ard was instructed to inquire of the
German government whether any OF
its submarines torpedoed the British
channel steamer Sussex, and the Uni
ted States still is without an admis-
sion or denial of responsibility.
Nor has any word come from Mr..
Gerard regarding the inquiries he was
instructed to make regarding the at
tacks on the British ships Englishman
and Manchester Engineer.
Silence Puzzles Officials.
1t is assumed here that the Ger
man government is Withholding any
statement while awaiting reports from
submarine commanders. Officials are
puzzled, however, by the failure of the
ambassador at Berlin to make some
kind of response to the state depart
ment's communication.
While the state department has al
most completed it's investigation so
far as other sources of information
are concerned, no action will be taken
until there is report from Berlin.
Proof Regarding Disasters.
In an effort to secure conclusive
proof regarding the disasters which
have overtaken the Sussex and other
unarmed British merchantships carry
ing American citizens, the United
States is employing every means at
its command. While the situation has
developed for the time into a waiting
one, high official quarters here re-
fleet the anxiety which grows hourly
as no word is received from Germany.

Contact between forces of General
Pershing and Villa had not been af.
fected at the time of the receipt OF
General Funston's latest advices on
the situation. General Funston ad-
mitted however, it was not improb-
able that the opposing troops were
already engaged, basing this opinion
on their known close proximity.
San Antonio, Texas, April 1. -

Ing to unofficial information secured

At the head of a considerable force
Villa was reported to be on the Sam
Geronimo ranch or the Quemada
ranch and troops of both the United
States and Mexico were believed to be
closing in on him.
Early Fight Probable.
This information was regarded by
General Funston and his staff as
probably correct. If correct, it APP
peared that very soon Villa either
will have to face his pursuers in fight
or make another break through the
tightening line of troops.
Whether his assault on the garri-
son at Guerrero was the same engage

likely, since the action reported by
General Pershing occurred March 81,
somewhere in that region. Details of
the engagement were not reported.
Hard for Villa to Escape.
General Pershing has been advised
of the report as to Villas location |
and it is known hat the disposition of
his troops and that of the Mexican |
government is such that Villa can
not easily escape without fight. |
American troops are converging in |
columns from the north and it was in |
Dictated that part of them had gone |

to join with the Carranza forces in |
preventing his escape in that direc- |
