GERMANS GLAD U. s. HAS WAR
 OF HER OWN

LONDON. April II. - A Morning Post dispatch from Berne says the Germans are rejoicing over America's difficulties in Mexico, and quotes the LeIpsig Neuste Nachritchen, an influential organ of the National Li- beral party, as follows;
 President Wilson now has his war, and we should make ourselves look ridiculous if we concealed the fact we are glad he has it--as glad as the English are sorry that the energies of the President find scope in his own hemisphere.
 we are unenvious enough to hope that pr. Wilson may. as agumenier of his empire. make a triumphant entry into Mexico with Villas scalp hanging from his belt We hope the ambition of the warlike President may be gratified by the acquisition of even the whole of Mexico and oth. CT Territory up to the Panama Canal, for while digesting this hard nut, Jonathan must cease to be John Bulls willing servant"

To rreat wlth carranza.

WASHINGTON. April l4.-Secreta ry Of State Lansing announced today that he Is preparing to treat with Car-anza's proposal regarding the withdrawal of American troops in Mexico. It was added. however. that no immediate withdrawal Is in con- temptation by the government The United States win inform Carranza soon Co this effect and discuss with him the time and manner Of the withdrawal of the soldiers.
 Secretary Lansing's announcement -is taken to mean that lnasmuch as Che United States fully expected to withdraw the American troops when the Villa chase was ended some formal arrangements will be made, ac- cording to Secretary Lansing, as to further deliberations on this natter The United States did not agree to restrict the punitive expedition to the territory it had reached by March 23rd. said the Secretary, "and there is evidently some misunderstanding on Carranza's part of that request.
 Senator Stone Speaks.

 Personally" concluded Senator Stone. 'T have never believed that the expeditionary force would ac- complish It's main object. namely the capture of Villa The job is too big. Villa is in a friendly country which he knows thoroughly. The question is now confronting the ad- mlnist-ation. how long shall we keep the troops there? By maintaining a force of 15.OO0 men In the heart Of Mexico. we certainly are going to ere ate friction"

 SERVING
 HUMANITY

WASHINGTON, April IS. President Woodrow Wilson was the principal speaker at a Jeferson's birthday celebration here last night, and aroused tre- .mendous enthusiasm as he applied the great underly- ing principles of the Jeffer- son humanitarianism to the conditions of today. He characterized the Republi- can party as being actu- ated by the provincial spir- it' of European monarchies and wanting the "broad spirit of humanity as was that exemplifed by Jeffer- son, whose concern was al ways for the rights of men.
 The President asserted that "this Nation is better prepared than ever before to lead the way along the paths of light"
 He charged in effect that the theory of government fought for by the Republi- cans is one of administering with a carefully hand pick ed body of trustees" while the Democratic theory is that of actual participation by the people in their gov ernment.
 WILL BACK PRESIDENT.
 The President dwelt at length on the Mexican situa- tion, and prayed that the United States would net be dawn into a quarrel not of her own choosing, but asked if the people were ready to go in where the interests of America were coincident with the interests of hu- and to have the cour- age to withdraw when the interests of humanity had been conserved.
 This question was greeted with cheers and shouts off yes"
 The Presidents audience. was soon reused to a high pitch of enthusiasm, and its agreement with the Presi- dents spirit was complete.

IF U. s. ENTERS
 WAR IT MEANS
 ALL WILL ENTER

LONDON. April n. The Daily News prints a quotation from an arti- cle by Herman yon Rath in the Tag on America, as follows
 Should the lsst great power which has hitherto remained neutral join the circle of our enemies. the idea of neutrality will become an illus ion, for then the Anglo-Saxon will. on the principle Of Who is not with me is against me, compel the small CT states to assume a definite posi- tion.
 That this position would in most cases be favorable to our enemies is vouched for by the latter's control over the food and raw materials sup plies of the Continent % Replying to the argument that America would not intervent in the war. Herr von Rath says;
 "A responsible statesman will not base his decisions on such uncertain and optimistic considerations. Indeed. they must not do it Their duty is, in case of grave decisions, to make their calculations Gs a careful mer- chant does, who is willing to under take a serious business only when he sees a sure prospect of success in spite of certain uniavorable com ditions
 Such circumspection is not sign Of weakness; it can go hand in hand with courage and enterprise lt Is, indeed, by connection with it that these latter qualities are distinguished from recklessuess and criminal lev lty."
