MAKING up CASE
AGAINST GERMANY

Washington. April 13.--The tables
are clear for q Showdown" on the
submarine issue. Today the admin
istration is completing evidence tend
ing to prove Germany guilty Of re-
peatedly violating Its assurances with
regard to conduct OF the undersea
campaign.
THE government will act now in
a manner entirely satisfactory to the
people," said an intimate friend Of
President Wilson today.
The fact that Germany admits at
lacking vessel near where the Brit
ish steamer Sussex was damaged by
an explosion strengthens the admin
istration's position, 1t Is held. even
though the kaiser said the ship his
war craft torpedoed was apparently
not the Sussex. 4,
The Berlin claim that Germany
never promised to treat freight
steamers the same as liners is large
factor In the discussion. Secretary
Lansing believes that Germany could
not legally decline to include freight
ers In Its assurances with regard to
liners.
Proof OF many solemn pledge vio-
lations since the Lusitania was sunk
is expected to be included In the ad-
ministration's answer to Germany.
The .Teuton disclaimer Of RESPONSE
bility proposed further negotiations.
In the past the administrations S
position has been not to consider ar
bitration of questions in which Amer
lean lives were concerned. Oficials
said that Germany's suggestion Of
arbitration had been answered by
President Wilson's previous attitude.
The Sussex note has reached the
state department. and experts there
are busy deciphering its code phrases.
President Wilson's coming reply
was characterized today as ''informa-
tion for Observation-Disclosures con-
corning what the administration has
tending to prove Germany violated
its assurances and what may be ex-
u
pected II the danger Of recurring vio-
lations is not removed. 1t was ex-
pected the American reply would be
ready next week.

that Villas band IL dispersed and on
the further ground that Carranzista
troops believe themselves able to
complete the task OF exterminatlng
the bandit leader and his few remain
Ing followers.
ofiiclals today frankly admitted
there was q possibility OF a misun-
derstanding having existed In nego-
tiations with carranza as far as they
have gone. The United States troops
entered Mexico while the protocol un-
der which Carranxa proposed the
chase should be conducted was being
completed. and before Il had been
fully agreed TO. Now Carranxa de-
clines to complete this agreement or
protocol and suggests that II IN time

lean forces. leaving further pursuit
TO Carranxistas.
In proposing the protocol. Car
ranza's note says. Mexico did not con-
slider the raid on Columbus itself
should result In invasion. He en-
phasIzes that It must have been clear
that Mexico gave the United States
troops permission to cross only In
case the massacres we're repeated.
The note indicates a belief that the
sovereignty OF Mexico has been vio-
lated. II says that Mexican agent
called on Counselor Polk OF the state
department. and that Polk said the
United States thought Mexico had
given permission for the expedition
to enter.
Faced with the nations demand
that villa be captured without regard
to technicalities. yet feeling that one
mistake may undo four years diplo-
macy intended to establish good feel
Ing between the nations. and confirm
peace In Mexico. the White House felt
that the situation required the most
careful handling. II was confident
that the issue would be handled sue
cessfully.
The note relates that Lansing ex-
pressed extreme regret at the situa-
tion and that Carranza finally agreed
troops already In Mexico might re-
main pending completion OF another
agreement by which the FIRST chief"
was 10 give them permission TO oper-
ate In his country. II again specified
that the proposal Carranza made af-
ter the Columbus raid did not give
the permission the United States re-
Quested.
America, said the note, assured
Carranza the expedition would conflne
its operations TO the sole object Of
apprehending Villa. Carranza now
considers that object accomplished.
therefore Mexico will not complete
the proposed second agreement for
further operations.
The message reminds the United
States further that the expedition has
no legal standing, and that the time
has come to consider It's withdrawal.

San Antonio, April 1S.--General
Funston made It plain today that he
would never consider the American
expedition into Mexico a success un-
til Francisco Villa had been captured
or killed. His attitude. however,
will be governed by Washington.
Funston declared the expedition
would continue hunting villa until
the war department ordered 1t to halt
or until villa was taken, He denied
the expedition would be in danger
II It's supply lines were cut and in
timated that he had full confidence
in the ability Of the Americans to

REACH CRISIS IN
MEXICAN SITUATION

! El Paso. April 13.--Army officers
at Columbus today believe the Ameri-
can expedition into Mexico is ap-
preaching a crisis.
Danger lies in the fact that there
are more than 400 miles of COM
munications to be protected and the
transportation facilities are made
quate. The troops have gone hun
cry for days and have suffered from
lack of proper clothing for high al
titudes, but they are not complaining,
The rainy season Is due in about
a month and trails south Of Columbus
will be impassaIble for weeks. oficers
stated privately that the expedition
must then have free use OF Mexican
railroads or withdraw.
The trouble caused by insufficient
equipment was due to the fact that
1t was never supposed the expedition
would penetrate 425 miles into a
strange country without using the
railroads. The recent commercial use
Of railroads sanctioned by the de
facto government has brought prac-
tlcally no relief, It was declared.
For weeks Colonel Dodd's column
has had no salt for either men or
animals. When supply reached
them. the men ate salt like children
eat candy.
Another detachment went without
sugar and coffee for ten days and
upon receiving a supply chewed the
grains ravenously. The advanced
units finally ran so short OF supplies
that two officers. with all available
cash. were sent to chihuahua City.
They bought food there. paying exor-
bitant prices.
