WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The

or the Carranzistas are abe to as

troops have driven the Villistas 400
miles into the interior, robbed Villa

gringoes, checked the likelihood of an.
other revolution in northern Mexico,
virtually assured the border against
raids and nearly completed the job of
scattering the bandit bands.

BERLIN IS GREATLY AROUSED
Report Over Wilson'S Latest Note
staFtles People; Washington Ex-
epts That Message to Germany VIII
go Forward Thursday Although
Further Delay Is Feared.

BERLIN, April 1S.-It was learned
today that members of the Reichstag
who demanded more vigorous sub
marine campaign are preparing to
take a hand in the German-Ameri
can crisis. They will strongly oppose
further concessions. II necessary they
will break the true arranged recently
and openly criticize the German gov
ernment if it makes its policies con-
form with Wilson's wishes.
The situation has suddenly grown
tense with the receipt Of reports that
Wilson has framed a new note with
out waiting for the exhibits which
Won Jagow forwarded. This is be-
lieved to corroborate the reports that
the new note is most drastic. offici-
ais are under the pressure of public
opinion which again is growing hos
tile toward America. The success of
the submarine campaign, inaugurated
in March is a strong argument against
making concessions.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing
held a final conference at 10 O'Clock
this morning over the latest subma-
rlne note. The communication was
expected to reach Berlin on Thurs
day or Friday. OFFICIALS pointed to
the attack on the Russian steamer I'M
perator and the wounding Of an Am
erican as an alleged abuse of the law,
Bernstorff arranged for a confer
ence with Lansing at four this after
noon. The German note was read at
the cabinet meeting today. After
wards it appeared possible that the
dispatch of the latest note might be
delayed.
1t was learned that the administra-
tons profound hope is to avoid a
break with Germany The note leaves
q way for Germany to act to preclude
the possibility of further crisis. The
president cites in his note that it was
not only ships carrying Americans
which were attacked, but neutrals
which were attacked The cause OF
the probable delay was not learned,
though officials hinted there was still
some undetermined elements in the
issue

Ell PASO, April 1S.-Hunting for
Villa became a secondary matter with
the military authorities today The
protection of the American expedi-
ton was the main thing. Pershing Is
understood to have told Funston. Fol-
lowing the Parral clash and the Mex
lean request for a withdrawal Of
troops, the safety Of the troops be.
came uppermost in the minds OF
army men.
Pershing has returned to Nami-
quipa, midway along the communion
ton lines. to watch the situation more
closely. If the exhumed corpse is not
Villa, neither the Americans nor the
Mexicans have an adequate idea Of
his whereabouts, it was admitted. The
Mexicans claimed that the telegraph
wires are down, preventing the receipt
of further information. The failure
to quickly produce the body for iden-
tification has increased skepticism.
Intervention advocates anxious to
prevent withdrawal. circulated exag-
gerated and alarming reports OF the
destruction Of American property in
Chihuahua.
Consul Rodgers at Mexico City. re-
ported that Carranza is disposed to
stand pat on the withdrawal sugges.
ton until he receives a formal reply.
Carranza is not inclined to discuss the
matter further. pending the arrival Of
a reply.
Army chiefs at Ell Paso. refusing
to be quoted. privately expressed the
opinion that nobody below Juarez ev-
er heard Of the discovery Of Villas
body. The Enrlquez report is indefi-
mite Latest advices were similar to
Sundays messages regarding the
body. Gavira stated that the Epri-
quez message strengthened the be-
lief that Villas career had ended and
that the expedition was practically
over. Local mining interests received
a message from Cusihuirachic which
failed to mention the finding of the
corpse.
