WON'T DIsARM SHIPS.
Allies Base Rejection of u. S. Pro
posal About Merchantmen on
Regard for Law.

Washington, March 1.-THE En-
tente Allies have agreed to inform the
United States that they cannot accept
the proposal in Secretary Lansing's
recent circular memorandum that q
modus vivendi be entered into for the
disarmament of belligerent-owncd
merchant ships. Conferences between
the Allies on this subject have end
ed. and formal replies to the .Ameri-
can suggestion are expected in the
near future.
Advices to the State Department
from the embassies at London, Paris
and Rome some time ago made it
apparent that the disarmament plan
had met with no favor. and the de-
partment has been proceeding on the
assumption that it would he rejected.
The United States does not ques
tlon the right under international law
of merchant men to arm for defense.
Disarmament by agreement was pro-
posed purely as a humanitarian eX-
pedient on account of the develop
ment of submarine warfare. With
out such an agreement the law stands
as it always has, and it was in re-
cognition of this principle that the
United States informed Germany
that her announced intention Of sink
ing armed merchant ships without
warning was inconsistent with assur-
ances previously given in the Lusi
tania and Arabic cases.
In their replies, which it is under
stood will be couched in the friend
liest terms. the Allies will express
appreciation Of the high motives
which moved the United States Gov
crnment in the interest Of humanity
to endeavor to remUve the dangers
to the lives of non-combatants.- But
they will advance the view that the
proposition to voluntarily surrender
the right of merchant ship to car
ry arms for her own defense would
really amount to change in the
principle Of international law itself.
instead of being. as viewed by the
State Department. merely a change

BENT ON SLAUGHTER
Said to be Preparing to Strike one
More Blow Before Retiring to
Mountain Fastnesses

Ell paso, March 11-While Ameri-
can troops are expected to cross into
Mexico in half a dozen places before
night to avenge the Columbus and Sam
ia Ysabel massacres, the border coun-
try fears renewed slaughter of Am
cricans today.
The greatest slaughter of American
colonists in Mexico's history is re.
ported to be the object of Francisco
Villa race toward train of Nor
mons due this afternoon at Guzman,
Mexico, small town about fifty mi
les southwest of here.
Warned of the proposed campaign
of determination against him by Am
erican troops, Villa is said to have
determined to strike one more blow
against the "gringoes" before retiring
to the mountain Businesses of western
chihuahua. There he hopes to escape
the vengeance Of the United States
soldiers.
The special train is bearing 500
American Mormons refugees of the
Casas Grandes and adjacent colonies
to the border. Repeatedly urged by
Americans to leave and threatened by
Villa personally, the Mormons stead
fastly held to their fertile ranches
which by. industry they had converted
from barren brush.
The first word of the Columbus raid
however resulted in an order from the
local head of the Mormon church to
the colonists to leave for the border
Immediately.
AT the same time CarranZa officials
at Chihuahua City, in response to
urgent appeals, ordered 1000 troops
from Chihuahua to act rs an escort
for the refugees.
On ten trains the troops left there
Friday afternoog. They must come
northward to Juarez on the Nationai
Lines of Mexico. however, and then
turn sotthaaM Qn;the Mexico and

mons are travelling. >;
American and! Mexican army official
alike concede there is no possible
chance of the Carranzistas intercept

would annihilate the entire trainload
of Mormons if he intercepted them

LOOKING TO AMERICA
Belief in Europe That the United
States is to Bring War to a Close

London. March 1.-THE Nation, IN
an article discussing the position OF
the United States as a world power
says:
America is slowly moving away
from her old moorings and shortly
will have entered more consciously
and definitely into world politics as a
great power. 1t would be idle for the
European belligerents to pretend that
they will and can settle the AFFAIRS
of the world without her.
"America's strength, both material
and moral, will be relatively so much
greater that her will and intentions
must operate with weight upon the
policy of reconstruction IN Europe.
"The votes taken this week in both
houses of Congress show that the at
titude of Germany is keeping the bal
lance of public sentiment n Amer
er;co--where it always has been
strongly on the side of the entente
allies But let us not expect that Am,
erica should come at once formally
into the fray.
"For the present, America probably
thinks she can do better for the worlt
by keeping out of the war, even at
considerable sacrifice of pride and self
esteem But the time will come-it !:
fast approaching-when her interven
ton may be Europe's only means, no
: only of ending the war, but of at
tanning tolerab,e and durable peace

ALLIES IN THE BALKANS
$4,000 French and 10000 British
Troops Preparing to Move

SaIOnKl, MarcH
Balkan offensive of the allied ar
mics is popularity believed to be ar
ranged for the first week in May.
Should weather conditions prove ex-
ceptionally favorable, it may occur
ever earlier. That it will take place
soon no one in Saloniki doubts 1oi
a moment. The only thing that can
stop it is for the Germans and the
Bulparians to move first--and there
is little belief in this contingency.
The increasing stores Of munitions
and supplies arriving in this port III
an unending stream. the constant
hard work of General sarrail and his
staff, the activity Of the allied scouts
and aeroplanes and the CHEEKY fea'
lures and high spirits of the French
and British soldiers and the eagerness
of the Serbs to get themselves in
fighting trim again at the earliest
moment has brought the con-
viction that an allied offensive from
Saloniki in the spring is certainty.
There are today some $4,000 French
and 10000 British troops here, which
is about man tc every foot and
half of defensive line to be held. Be-
sides the British and French, there
are some $4,000 Serbs in Saloniki
and along the Greek frontier. There
are also said to be some $4,000 more
French on their way from Marseilles,
making total of 226,000 allied
troops as garrison for Saloniki, not
counting the personnel of the war
ships stationed in the harbor.
Assuming that there are only 10000
of these ready to be dispatched to
Macedonia or Egypt as occasion may
require this would bring the figure
of those available for instant use IN
Saloniki up to $4,000 men by spring.
There are also $4,000 Serbs in Amer
ica and elsewhere who have only re-
Gently been called to the colors and
some Of whom are arriving every
few days at Saloniki, which brings the
figure up to SCI 900 men.
Meanwhile in Corfu there are some
1874 ,0G9 Serbs rcfitting. and at BteIta
some 25,000 more, making a total Of
$4,000 Serbs available for work in
Albania, to be added to whatever
force the Italians decide to concentra-
te at Avlona. Considering these figu-
res, the general impression here is
that they indicate either waSteful
excess of force gathered in and about
the Balkans or that general Bal
kan offensive is planned.
In the event of such an offensive
being successfully begun it will be
impossible Of the King of the Hc:-
lenes or anyone else to hold the
Greek Army back from going on 20
Sofia with the allied powers. In tins
event, to the $4,000 men available
for Balkan offensive in the spring
may be added 100000 Greeks, mean
ing total of 100000 men operating
in the Balkans by midsummer against
maximum of 100000 Germans, Aus
trians, Bulgarians and Turks.
