GERMANY MAKE
 NO CONCESSIONS
SHE WILL CONTINUE SUB. WAR.
Chief of Admiralty Says Germahy Is Wholly Within Her Rights When She Attempts to Stop Landing of Supplies of the Enemy.

BERLIN, April 22.-The chief of the Admiralty staff was interviewed here today by a representative of the United Press, regarding the latest note from the United States to Ger many regarding the German subma- rine policy.
 The official declared that Germany would make no further concessions to the United States, but would pur- sue here present course of destruction of the ships of the enemy nations. This, he said, was within the rights of Germany, as her commerce had been driven from the seas, and her ports blockaded by the allies, and in return it was Germany's rights under the rules of warfare to prevent the landing of foodstuffs and munitions at enemy ports.
 At the same time the minister said. one of the last things Germany de- sired was a break with the United States. It would be insanity for the Teutonic government to court rup' ture of relations with America and the government would do everything possible to avoid it.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.- Advices received by the State depart ment indicate that the Carranza gov ernment is tottering and it's down. fall is predicted within short time.
 Uprisings against the government are reported from all sections of the country, some of which have gained serious proportions.

WILL KEEP U. s. BUSY AT HOME

LONDON, April 2E-A Morning Post Dispatch from Berne says the Germans are rejoicing over Americas $ difficulties in Mexico, and quotes the Peipsig Neuste Nachrichen, an influ- ential organ of the National Liberal party, as follows:
 / President Wilson now has the war he has been aching for and we should make ourselves ridiculous if we con- cealed the fact we are glad he has it as glad as the English are sorry the energies of the president find scope in his own hemisphere.
 German citizens have been arrest. ed, insulted, humiliated, and inter fered with at the behest of English agents. and a country less patient would have made declaration of wal months ago-as soon as it was seer that Americas money and sympathie' were with England.
 eve are unenvious to hope. how ever, that Dr. Wilson may, as agume nier of his empire, make trium phant entry into Mexico with Villas scalp hanging from his belt. We hope the ambition of the warlike Presi dent may be gratified by the acquisi tion of even the whole of Mexsco ant other Territory up to the Panama Canal, for while cracking this hatt nut, Jonathan will have no time tt play servant to Johnny Dull.'

WASHINGTON, 5. C., April 22.- The Japanese Minister to the United States, Viscount Sutemi Chinda, per sonally called upon President Wilson this morning and protested against the provisions of the immigration bill now being considered by congress.

He said the incorpo- ration of this agreement into the bill was an insult to the Japanese govern ment, as that government had kept the agreement strictly and intended so to do.
