When Senator Cummina said in

that the heavy hand Of the presidenl
had been felt by every democratic
senator on every important measure
that had been before that body for
three years past, he told the truth
Many a democratic senator voted for
the tariff annihilation bill, though
in his soul he felt that it was an out
rage, but voted for it because to re-
fuse would have closed the door Of
the White House against any request
no matter how reasonable. 1t was
the same way when the president
wanted Endorsement of the farce of
sending the fleet to Vera Cruz. 1t
was the same way when the Panama
canal toll business was up; the same
when the merchant marine propo-
sition was before the senate-indeed
1t has been a constant schOolmaster

Congress has not been treated as
coordinate branch of the govern

The voters of Phillips county

OF the facts that have been published
in this paper and in others through
out the district that Judge Utter
would try and redeem himself if such
q thing was possible and get back in

the case, as only this week he made
another one OF those 2lunders and

To have beard the case in Malta
where it should have been heard
would have cost the county but the
expenses Of the judge, while in his
taking it to Glasgow, will in all prob

we have said the expense in this par

judge Utter to remain close to the

Washington, April 14-President
Wilson'S final word in the submarine
controversy with Germany is embodied
in a note the cabiner ratified today.
1t was reported that the note mott.
fies Germany another submarine dis,
aster jeopardizing Americans will mean
severance of diplomatic relations.
No hint as to its exact contents could
be obtained at the White House. 1t was
stated that Germany would be Informed
of President Wilson s decision within n
day or two.
The communications rs sharp, concise
and permits Of no dickering nor of any
extended negotiations. 1t is understood
it touches not only the Sussex case but
also presents proof of repeated viola.
tions Of German assurances.
The note is said to request not only
punishment for offending submarine
commanders, but to demand assurances
of changed submarine policy whicl
will remove the possibility of repeti
tion of the Incidents which brought
the nations dangerously near to n
break.
A tentative draft of the eommunica-
tion will be presented to the house
and senate foreign committees before
Secretary Lansing shapes it into n
formal message. This may possibly re-
suit in slight changes in its text.

Washington, April 14.--Momentarily
forgetting the threatened break with
Germany, official Washington sought
an answer today to these questions:
"What were the facts at Parral,
where American soldiers fought NGexi-
cans with the loss of an American
lifeq"
"What will President Wilson dos"
1t was hoped that reply to the first
question would be found in Brigadier
General John j. Pershing's dispatches,
supplementing the reports from Carran
zista sources.
The cabinet was expected to answer
the second inquiry, There was reason
to believe the president would meet
his advisers with his mind made up that
withdrawal of United States soldiers
from Mexico is essential to the humani
tartan purpose for which they entered.
President Wilson last night turned
HRS jefferson day address to demo
cratic leaders into a challenge, asting
in effect; "Have you the courage to
come out2"
His words puzzled the banqueters. II
the president S statements meant that
he proposed n withdrawal Of troops it
was indicated that such a move would
meet opposition in his own party.
President Wilson is known to believe
that Intervention will undo his three
years work in which he sought to allow
the Mexicans to save themselves. He
feels that failure to find means
whereby the American columns may
withdraw with honor from Mexico
means Intervention.
President Wilson recognizes that
fight in his own ranks may develop, it
is believed as he told the banqueters;
''I am not interested in personal ambi
tions. / am not enthusiastic over mere
party success"
While the trouble at Parral temporaT-
lily overshadowed the task OF catching
Francisco villa, ARM men indicated q
fear that the bandit had escaped and
that only with Carranza IS cooperation
could the Americans hope to overtake
him.
Secretary Of War Baker would not
comment with regard 20 the request for
withdrawal of American troops. He said
that General Funston had been given
free hand to control the Parral situa-
ton. Bakers understanding IS that
there is no objection TO the passage or
troops through towns on the line OF
march, though the soldiers have been
ordered not to occupy any settlements.
II is likely that Consul Rodgers will
confer with Carranza in Mexico City.
Although Secretary Baker would not
verify the report, it was learned Cen
eral Funston had asked for additional
troops and had suggested that the main
supply base be established at Ollnaga'
