WORD COMES
FROM BERLIN
Ambassador Gerard May Confer
With Kaiser at Army
Headquarters.
WASHINGTON HOPEFUL
FOR EARLY SOLUTION

Washington, April 27.-Secretary
Lansing said late today that he had
no further advices from Berlin re-
garding the submarine issue and the
situation remained UNCHANGED. The
German embassy also was said to be
without information.
announcement in press dispatches
from Berlin that Ambassador Gerard
would confer with Emperor William
at the army headquarters was regard
ed by officials as being significant.
Information Lacking
Official information on the subject
was lacking but the opinion freely
expressed was that the emperor
might have in mind supplementing
Gecmany's reply to the American note
demanding the immediate abandon
ment CT present methods of submar-
ire warfare with a communication of
some kird to President Wilson.
Ambass. dor Gerard in visiting the
emperor is not acting under instruc-
tiOns from Washington. Consequent
ly the officials assume the emperor
invited Mr.. Gerard to confer with
him.
In both official and diplomatic quar-
ters the injection of the emperor's
personality into the situation was re-
garded as being hopeful indication.

N DEADLOCK
OVER PAPERS

Washington, April 27.-The state
department and the German embassy
apparently are at a deadlock over the
disposition of papers seized by agents
of the department Of justice when
they raided the Offices in. New York
of Wolfe Won lyle, former secretary
to Capt. Won Papen. recalled military
attache of the embassy. The state
department is willing to return the
papers as demanded by the German
ambassador, if he or some other re-
sponsible official Of the embassy will
identify them as being official. Count
Won Bernstorf insists upon having all
the documents removed from the Of.
flee and refuses to personally identify
them unless directed to do 90 by his
government. He has asked the Ber.
lin foreign Office for instructions.
Regarding published reports that
the state department had made pos
sible the capture of Robert Case
ment, by turning over Information to
the British government, 6ecretary
Lansing said today the department
had no knowledge Of Sir Rogers ex-
pedition until after he had been cap
tured. In other oihcial QuaStefs, it
was said there was nothing In the pa
pers taken from Won lyle that would
show such an expedition was On foot,

CAR RUNS AWAY,
ONE KILLED, 35 HURT

Cincinnati, o., April PA double
track Vine & Burnett street car,
crowded with men, women and chill
dren, became unmanageable as it ap-
preached a street today and ran down
grade for six blocks, jumped the
track and crashed into a telegraph
pole and caused the death of one
woman and injured 50 others.
The car was crowded and Motor
man Thomas Deanney in statement
to the police said he first noticed his
brakes were out of order when he at
tempted to slow down to throw a
switch. The brakes did not respond
and he could not help allowing the
car to run past the switch and onto
Highland avenue.
There is a steep down grade at
this point. The car took this down
grade with ever increasing speed and
was going at terrific pace when it
reached turn in the track at Dor
chester avenue Its velocity carried
it off the track and against tele-
graph pole. Eleven city ambulances
hurried the injured to hospitals, while
another removed the dead woman to
the morgue.

MEXICO MIDDLE
NOT INHERITED
FROM PRES. TAT 7
Former President Retired Twelve
Days After Huerta Came to
Power.
WILSON REPUDIATED
.. REPUBLICAN POLICIES
Philander Knox Gives Some In
side Facts on Mexican
Affairs.

Pittsburg, April 27.--Philander G..
Knox, secretary OF state in President
Taft's cabinet explained at repub'
Iican banquet here tonight why Mr..
Taft did not recognize Gen. IIuerta
as president of Mexico. He replied
to the assertion thai President Will
son inherited the troublesome Mex
lean situation from his predecessor
and denied that President Wilson's
course may be likened TO President
Lincoln's during the period preceding
the Macmillan Empire. "'Fhe stu
alton in Mexico" the former secre
tary declared, seemed dangerous il
not inevitable.
ut has been asserted time and
time again by the apologists for the
democratic blundering in Mexico that
President Wilson inherited the Mex
lean situation from Mr.. TAFT said
Mr. Knox Nothing could be further
from the truth than this statement
and a review of the situation will con
clusively show.
Mexico a Peace.
"When President Taft assumed
office on March 4, 1908, Mexico was
at peace, her credit good, her Golfers
filled, and her industry thriving, and
Porfirio Diaz seemed fair for the re-
mainder of his life to preside over
the destiny of the land he had done
so much to free from the Empire OF
Maximilian, set up BY coalition OF
European powers.
ut has been attem2ssA with a great
measure OF success v6 make the Ain
erican people believe that Huerta be-
came president through Madero's
death. This is not true. Huerta be-
came president through Madero Las
cuarin's resignation. Madero's death
did not occur until some days later
Only Had IL Days.
Huerta became provisional presi
dent of Mexico, February l9, 1918
Mr.. Taft ceased to be president OF
the United States March 4, 1913
There were thus 12 days within which
President Taft could have extended
recognition.
"What Mr.. Wilson inherited from
Mr. Taft was an outstanding. unan
swered diplomatic request to the de
factO government at Mexico City fOl
definite assurances for the security
of American rights and the adjust
ment of American claims as prelim
mary to the consideration Of the ques
ton of recognition.
"What Mr.. Wilson did was TO re-
pudiate the policy of his predecessor
in this, as well as all other things
and made the adjustment OF Amer
can rights impossible"

BREAK;
GREAT DAMAGE

Trempealeau, Wis, April 90 The
dikes of the Trempealeau drainage
district broke tonight, sending vol
ume of water ten feet deep and five
miles wide into the Trempealeau river
and then into the swollen Mississippi.
The east girder of the Burlington
bridge was snapped by the current
and the waters swerved into surround
ing tracks carrying out everything in
it's current. Residents near the river
had been warned of the danger, and
some had abandoned their homes.
Burlington trains reaching here to-
night were forced to turn back. The
breaking of the dikes caused the Mis-
sissippi river here to rise foot with
in an hour.

!. S. MUST
UPHOLD LAW
Former Secretary Of, State Points
Out the Vital Necessity for
... This.

Washington, April 27.-1,he vital
necessity for the United States to up
hold international law at all costs
was urged tonight by Elihu Root for,
mer secretary Of state, and David
Jayne Hill, former ambassador to
Germany, in addressing the opening
session of the tenth annual meeting
of the American Society of lnterna-
tiOnal Law.
whether the United States, said
Mr.. Root, will soon have occasion,
or will long have the ability or the
will to maintain the Monroe Doc
trine lies in the uncertain future.
Whether it will be necessary for her
to act in defense of the doctrine or
abandon it may well be determined
by the issue of the present war;
Mr.. Hill said:
when nations rights are violat
ed, having no other redress, it is
called upon not only in its interests,
but in the interests of law itself to
vindicate them, not merely by word
but necessarily by action, also. II
this is not done, international law
must lose the respect of mankind anc
fall into positive disrepute.
There remains only one course il
international law is to be made more
effective-the severance of diplomat
ic and commercial relations with a
persistent law breaker. A nation tha,
after remonstrance persists in the vi
olation of the law cannot longer pre-
tend to be acting in friendly spirit
and when friendship has ceased, il
is only an evidence of weakness and
hvpocricy to pretend that it still ex
ists."

New York, April 2.-Mobiliza-
ton Of American industries and COM
merce as a prime factor for prepared
ness for national defense was urged
here tonight by Secretary Baker OF
the war department in an address be-
fore the annual banquet of the Amer
lean Newspaper association. HE de-
clared that the necessity Of such q
mobilization was one OF the great
lessons learned from the great Euro
pean war.
AT first this question prepared
ness) revOlved around mere military
preparations in the narrow sense,
said Mr.. 'Baker, "but as the war de-
veloped in Europe we learned that
these things are but a part Of pre-
paredness.
Threefold Mobilization.
"Threefold mobilization is neces-
sary in any country for war and OF
these three elements two are as val
liable and as vital in time of peace
as in time of conflict
"In the first place, there must be
arms and soldiers, ships and sailors,
and these must be honored and ade-
uate.
"The second mobilization necessity
is that of our Industries and com
merce. The war in Europe had been
under way more than a year before
some OF the countries were able to
quip the men VINO volunteered for
their armies. With all the zeal which
their governments could display the
mobilization of their industries yet
lag, not from unwilIingness, but from
lack of fOrelhought. Perhaps no 9th
er lesson of The war in Europe is 50
impressive, so UNIVERSAL
Hour Of TrIal.
"lf the hour of trial should ever
come to us, there must be no war
stock no war brides. no war for
tunes made out of the national dan
gers nor must there be built up in
America any interest which could be
suspected of preparing for profit out
of national emergency. Business
in America is patriotic. | have not
the slightest doubt that every manu-
featuring plant in this country could
be SO related to central bureau Of
the government that its special use
fulness in time of need would be
known in advance.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1916-04-28
Secretary Baker Urges
Industrial Mobilization to
Meet National Crisis

"The third mobilization that is
necessary is spiritual. In order to
make sacrifices for America, we must
be sure that our stake in the country
justifies it.
Spiritual Mobilization.
"The military mobilization will take
place easily and will not be upon a
magnificent scale in advance. The
'industrlal and spiritual notifications
ought to .be constant and as wide as
the country. Both are useful, nay,
indispensable in time of peace as we'll
as in war;
Secretary Baker commented on the
work of the press in developing CO.
herents of national thought and ac-
ton. He said that American news
papers were. in a large sense, an in
stitutiOn of representative govern
ment in their broad informative
sphere.
Urges Fair Play.
A message from President Wilson
expressing the hope that the press Of
the United States always may use its
influence for "fair play, right under
standing, peace, prosperity and glory
of America" was read tonight at a
banquet which brought to an end the
annual meeting of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
Men prominent in many walks Of
life were the guests of the OrganiZa
ton. They included Gov. Charles S.
Whitman, Secretary of War Newton
d. Baker, Mayor John p Mitchell, DR..
Thee X. Wellington Koo, Chinese
minister to the United States. Sena-
tor Warren G.. Harding, Otto II. Kahn
and Daniel Willard.
In reply to the presidents telegram
message signed by Herbert L..
Bridgeman. president of the assOcia-
ton, was sent to the White House as.
surfing Mr. Wilson that the American
New spapers' Association stands "for
the first word of its name, and will
defend it against all cOmerS.'
Governor Whitman in his address
declared the press to be the great
interpretatiVe factor in American
life"
Mayor Mitchell said good govern
mrnt in this country depends on good
newspapers, because we depend on
them for our knowledge of current
events" He declared this RESPONSE.
bility is very great at present.

It is stated on good authority that
members of organized labor in North

that organization.
The first step, it is said. will be
taken Sunday when the labor unions

QUEER FORMATION.

A queer formation of the Aurora
Borealis was quite visible in the sky
last night, about 10:30. Many of the
capital residents watched the strange
sight, which was one of the largest
seen here for some time. 1t lasted
for over a-half hour and could be
seen quite plainly.

less.

Washington, April 27.-Outside Of
the possible activities OF Gen. Perish.
ing's cavalry patrol there was anOth.
er lull in the Mexican situation to.
day. Gen. Obregon and the Carranza
officials accompanying him were ap.
preaching the border from the south.
while Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston
were preparing to meet the Mexican
officers in JuareZ or TEL Paso, in the
conference upon which much may de-
pend.
No Definite Word.
Neither in Washington, nor on the
border, was there definite infOrma-
ton as to when the conference would
begin. Gen. Obregon should reach
Juarez tomorrow at the latest, it is
thought, and the American officers
also will be at the meeting place by
that time.
Pending the result of this attempt
to secure the cooperation Of the Car
rama forces in the campaign against
brigandage beyond the border, the
Washington government will take no
further important steps, either mill
tary or diplomatic.
Engines Too Light.
A complaint that the four new aer.
Oplanes sent to the border were in
adequate came from Gen. Funston.
The engines were too light for the
work required.
Secretary Baker reported that the
four had only been sent because they
were the only type available, for im-
mediate delivery. s,1' ssss5 ~. 4. i
Four additional $50 -hourse. power
machines are on their way to the b0r-

United States.
EARLY RETIREMENT.
Chihuahua, Mex, April 27.-Gen.
Elvira Obregon, minister Of war Of
the defacto government, will submit
his assurances to Major Gen. Scott
and Gen. Funston, at their coming
conference in Juarez or Ell Paso that
the Carranza forces now are fully
able to cope with the Villa bandits
operating in southern Chihuahua
The minister of war said he hoped to
arrange for an early retirement of the
American troops from Mexican soil.
ON WAY TO CONFERENCE.
San Antonio, April H.-Major Gen.
Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff of the
American army, was on his way to
night to Ell Paso to discuss with Gen.
Obregon, questions incident to the
presence Of the American troops in
Mexico.
Just what Gen. Scott and Funston
are going to discuss with Gen. Obre-
gon and what preparations they will
make remained unknown here to-
night. 1t was not expected by Gen.
Scott and Funston that all would be
adjusted after one brief talk with
Gen. Obregon. 1t was regarded as
more than likely that the conference
would be one OF a series and that
they might be wanted by Gen. Scott
and Gen. Obregon to communicate
with their governments.
Gen. Scott has no plenary powers
and it is not believed that Gen. Obre-
gon had authority to enter an agree.
