villa Reported Alive, Wounded,
and Again located in Mountains

San Antonio. Tex.-Reports from
General Pershing Tuesday indicated
that Francisco Villa had been located
again, this time west Of Parral. in the
mountains Of Western Chihuahua. He
was last reported at Nonoava, 85 miles
from Safevo. The report also indi-
Gated that Villa was wounded, but only
slightly, and that he was far from be-
ing incapacitated.
General Funston regarded the infor-
nation that General Pershing had se-
cured as authentic. No troops have
been sent out. II was realized that
pursuit Of Villa in the locality he had
chosen could be successfully conducted
oniy after many more troops had been
sent into Mexico.
Unofficial reports indicated that Car
rama had sent gradually into the north
an army much larger than that Of the
American force. and great part Of
the Mexican force Is in position to
conduct q pursuit Of Villa and his
scattered organizations that would be
more effective than would be contin-
uation Of the American campaign if
conducted along the present lines.

junction with a German submarine.

Der Of prisoners we're made, amongst

The news Of the capture Of Sir
Roger was received with satisfaction.
with regret at the termina-
tion Of what previous 10 his alleged
activities with the Germans had been
q brilliant career, useful both to hui
manity and his own country. That he
should have engaged in such madeap
enterprise a. the British official com
inuincation gives rs the reason for his
seizure is considered a. lending color

that be is mentally unbalanced.
Little had been heard Of Sir Roger

ported that Sir Roger had visited the

president SENDS GERMAAY Uln-
MAIUM ON SUBMARINE WARFARE

Washington, d. C. - President viii
son Wednesday, on the anniversary Of
the battle Of Lexington, told congress,
assembled in joint session shortly
after O'Clock. he had given Germany
irrevocable notification that the Unit
ed States will break of diplomatic re-
lations If her illegal submarine cam
paign is continued
+ A n0te, Americas last word, prac-
tically an uItimatum, and demanding
an immediate reply, without setting
an arbitrary time limit, presumably
was in the Berlin foreign Office as the
President was speaking. 1t YVES dis
patched Tuesday night, in accordance
with the Presidents plan to have il
before the German government at the
same moment he was addressing the
American eonrgess.
The President asked no action what
ever Of congress. He simply in
formed it Of the accumulation Of facts
proving that Germany's assurances TO
the United States are being violated
and that the submarine campaign, de-
spite the earnest protests Of the Unit
ed States, Is being conducted with re-
newed vigor in contravention Of all the
laws of nations and humanity, and that
he means to sever relations unless it 10
brought within the law. Diplomatic
history Of the world shows that such
course is almost certain to be followed
by war.
The President said:
81 have deemed it my duty, there
fore, to say TO the Imperial German
government that If it is still its pur-
pose to prosecute relentless and indis-
criminate warfare against vessels Of
commerce BY the use of submarines
notwithstanding the now demonstrated
of conducting that war
fare ii accordance with what the gov
ernment Of the United States must
consider the sacred and indisputable
rules Of international law and the uni-
versally recognized dictates Of human
ity, the government Of the United
States is at last forced to the conclu-
sion that there is but one course it can
pursue, and that unless the Imperial
German government should now i'm
declare and effect an aban-
of its present methods Of
warfare against passenger and freight
carriny vessels, this government can
have no choice but to sever diplomatic
relations with the government Of the
German empire altogether e

Gliding whether the expedition seeking

Early Irrigation Started.

Klamath Falls-W Water was turned
into the Griffith canal Saturday by the
Reclamation service. This is week
earlier than the water win be used
generally over the project, but it was
necessary to supply the sandy lands in
the Sand Hollow and Malin districts,
as they are blown badly by the strong
April winds
The water was turned in from Lost
river. and would otherwise have vast
ed away through the diversion canal to
klamath river. Heretofore the Malin
ranchers have suffered considerably be-
cause water could not reach them ex-
cept through the main canal, but the
enlarging and extension Of the Griffith
canal last summer has brought great
relief.

IRISH IN REBELLION
Many Killed ID Uprising il Dublin.
Widespread Plot BeIieved kippd.

London - With i2 persons killes
ard 10 wounded ~ tho result Of an up
rising In Dublin Tuesday, all Irelant
IL amouldering volcano.
Although the capital was almost
completely isolated by the cutting oi
telegraph lines whom the rebels seIEet
the pcstoiIice. the government pro
fessea TO bo In control Of the situation.
Tho most sanguine. however, win moi
predict what uven the next hour will
bring forth.
Augustine Birrcll, chief secretary
for ireland. who made the first an.
nouncament OF the trouble In the house
Of commons Wednesday, could give
few details. The government knew.
hc said. that about q dozen sol
diera had been killed. that arrests
had been made. and that troops were
on the way from Tho curragh 70 Dub
lin. II did not know tho number Of
riotorn killed. or the parts Of the city
that were still In their possession.
SO far aa known. the trouble started
at noon on Monday In the center Of
Dublin. A mob, composed mainly Of
members Of the Sim Fcin society.
seized Stephens Green. large park
near the Royal university: the post
Office on Sackvilio street and several
houses Immediately adjoining.
Troops. hastily summoned. and loyal
volunteers sought 10 expel tho rebels,
who meanwhile had cut all the COM
municatlon lines. In the fighting that
ensued two policemen and two citizens
were killed. together with several sol
dlers.
II Is the connection between the re-
volt and the attempted landing Of Sir
Roger Easement with German arms on
the Irish coast that makes the situa-
tlon ominous. II IL believed now that
there u vast conspiracy afoot
through all ireland and that the arri-
val Of Sir Roger had been set as the
signal for 4 general upriaing.
The official statement, however, az
serts that the disturbances were local
lied In Dublin. Reports received from
Cork, Limerick, Ennie. Tralee and
both ridings Of Tipperary, whore the
Sim Fainers have been especially
strong. show that II any reyolts were
planned they failed to materialixe.
Tho prompt seizure Of Easement and
the sinking OF the German auxiliary
with her cargo Of arms are believed to
have disorganixed the plans Of the
leaders,.
None Of the Irish leaders here are
believed implicated in the plots. Both
Sir Edward Carson, who is one of the
strongest members Of coalition govern
nent, and John Redmond, the Nation
llists chief, unite in condemning the
lcts Of rebellion.

William Shakespeare In a decision rem

injunction issued on the petition Of
William N. Selig, motion picture mani

publication of books supporting the
Baconian theory. The court held that
the name Shakespeare had been used
