Carranza's information was that his
soldiers had done everything in their

Secretary Lansing would moi saw
whether he was prepared to negotiate
with the de factO government with =

He indicated that the time element OF

Full Report Likely.
Attention has been given to the fact
that the Carranza note rested its re-
quest for negotiations. in part, upon
the statement that the Auerican ~

his bands, and could not fulfill il. The
state and war departments are not dis
posed to allow this to 20 unchal-

and commanding the expedition.
Several days may elapse before
reply can be prepared to the CarranzasI
note and diplomatic machinery be set
in motion for the negotiations sought
by that document.
The state department saw no reason
today to retire from its position that
a formal agreement under which the
crossing OF the Mexican border in pur-
suit Of Villa proceeded had been
reached with Gen. Carranza before the
order to move was given. In its original ,
reply to Gen. Carranza's proposal for !
a reciprocal agreement, the department I
stated clearly the terms of that agree (
ment as it understood them and de-
clared them to be operative. A week
or so elapsed, it was pointed out, before
any question was raised. /
Thinks ArredOndO Mistaken.
Secretary Lansing said today he had =
no recollection OF having assured
EltseO ArredOndo, Mexican ambassador
designate, on March %, that the troops
would go no farther south than they
were until the diplomatic situation was /
cleared and that he must have been
misunderstood by Mr.. Arredondo. He /
added that at the time he did not know f,
how far the troops had gone
Many of the points raised in the Car
rama note were viewed as referring
TO the protocol negotiations which fol-
lowed and not to the original reciprocal {
agreement.

FUNSTON UNEASY.
ABOUT PARRAL
Sharply Urges Pershing to
Report; Officers Say Mex
leans Not Cooperating.

San Antonio, Tex, April 15.-Uneasl-
ness was manifest at Gen. Funston
! Headquarters TO-DAY over Gen. Perish
ing's unbroken silence concerning the
fight at. Parral. IL became known to-
, day that Gen. Funston directed TO
Gen Pershing last night communica-
ton sharply urging him TO expedite
Gen. Funston received from the war
department today a rather long com
munication, but he refused to dicuss
its character There was reason to be-
lieve the substance of his late re-
ports to Washington dealt largely
with the positions and activities OF
Carranza troops in northern Mexico
and the failure of them and other
Carranza authorities to cooperate more
effectually with the Americans
Say MeXicnns Not Cooperating.
Army officers here and in Mexico
have resented the repeated statements
that cooperation was being given,
when. as they Indignantly assert. con-
tinued refusal to use the railroads and
to permit the transmission OF code
messages on overland wires mas been
made. The number OF Carranza troops
in northern and central Mexico is Tar
greater than that of the United States
force in Mexico. but army officers here
pointed out that Villa has no apparent
difficulty in passing through their
lines when pressed forward by the
Americans.
1t is believed that Gen. Funston also
called attention OF the war department
TO his inability to protect more ade-
quatelv the detached forces at tho
front without materially weakening
the border patrol, or using the railroads
for troop movements.

MAN WITHOUT GOD

of Life Says Rev. q.
L. Byrcr.

An ungodly life is a bad life. a
life not necessarily of wickedpess is
the accepted meaning OF the word.
but a life faded and withered as "A
rose" said the Rev. G.. F. Byrer
at the United Brethren church last
night.
An ungodly individual is he who
has not accepted God" continued
the speaker. 1T is not necessary
for this individual to be necessarily
outspokenly wicked. Now, on the
other hand. the Christian has special
care. and. no difference what hopes
he may possess. he still has sus-
tanned grace and keeps his life
sweet and disposition good.
The ungodly man is bad, let US
say. Weak and bad are closely asso-
ciated. and the ungodly man is and
will become eventually a weak man
Let him therefore prepare for this
weakness, as. like the uhfailingness
of the winds, it is sure 10 come"

MAN IS PRONE To
DELAY CONVERSION

We DO not wish to come to Christ
when we are young and life is pleas
ant" said Rev. Walter c. Morris last
night at the Wesleyan NJ Z. church.
I'VE prefer TO wait until we are near
to the end of life, and then come to
Jesus with innurn cradle sins
Some Of us think that simply be-
lieving in Christ will save us. We
think that Christ demands nothing
else. A man once told me that he
didn't need to confess his sins or
make restitution for them, that sim
ply believing IN Christ would save
him Then I asked him if l could
steal his horse. and be forgiven SIM
ply believing without restitution, and
then the case seemed different to
him.
The first requirement in CONVEX
sion is conviction for sin. We must
know that we have sinned. and we
must wish TO forsake our sin. They
become hateful to us. We are not
any longer drawn by the alurements
and beauty. What we need most in
this town is that the Holy Spirit will
convince the people Of sin.
Some people think that a sinful
man makes a better Christian than
good man, because he knows the
shamefulness of sin, and the good
ness of God in giving him the oppOr-
tunity TO repent This is a danger
Gus heresy. A good man is better
able to appreciate and to know God
than a wicked one, and the wicked
ones who have come to God know
this 10 be true. Look at Billy Sun
day; he was once a sinner, and came
TO God. But as he looks back, he
would rather have been a good Chris
tan than to have been at first a sin
ner. and then a penitent
