PARIS, April 13.-The Germans still continue the severe attacks upon the Verdun defenses which was inaugurated Tuesday.
 After heavy bombardment last ing more than eight hours the Teu- tons yesterday launched heavy in- fantry attack against the French po- sitions north of Mouse. Regiment aft CT regiment were hurled against the line in close formation, but the Ger mans were never able to reach the French trenches.
 Z As in previous charges the French fartillery fire raked the approaches land moved the attackers down by hundreds, and the rife fire from the trenches added to the quota of dead and wounded. The slaughter was terrific and the Teutons were driven back time after time.
 The French line did not waver al any point, holding firm in spite of the almost overwhelming advance of the Germans.

ADMITS FIVE STEAMERS SUNK

BERLIN, April 13.-1t is officially stated that the German note deliver ed to Ambassador Girard for trans mission to the United States. in re- gard to the torpedoing of the chan nel steamer Sussex, denies that the vessel was struck by German tor pedo. The note states that steamer was torpedoed by German subma- rine near the scene of the accident to the Sussex, but sketch made by the captain of the submarine proves con- clusively that it was not the channel steamer.
 The note makes the admission that five British steamers have been torpe- doed, over which there has been con- siderable agitation, but that the Sus- sex was not among the number. The note expresses the belief of the Ger man officials that the Sussex struck a floating mine.

President Wilson Firm.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 13.- It is stated here this afternoon on good authority that President Wilson has prepared a reply to President Carranza's demand that the United States troops be withdrawn from Mexico. It is said that President Wilson's note regrets the decision of the Carranza government, but that he must flatly refuse, to recall the sol diers in Mexico until the pursuit of Villa is crowned with success.
 The note also advises the Mexican president that any steps taken by the Mexican government to force the American expedition to withdraw, or any attack made upon them by Mexi- can troops will be considered tenta- tive declaration of war, and that this government will take prompt steps to protect its honor and integrity.
 The news of the tenor of the Pres ident's note was received here with great enthusiasm and the president has been the recipient of many con- gratulatory telegrams from all over

News Creates Excitement.

El. PASO, April 13.-The news of President Carranzas demand for the withdrawal of the United States troops from Mexico, created consid- erahle excitement here, although it was not wholly unexpected. Infor- nation of semi-official character that such a demand would be forth coming was received here some days ago, but was not credited by the mil itary authorities.
 When the news of the refusal of President Wilson reached here. the enthusiasm of the people reached a high pitch, and the police force was more than doubled to prevent some of the more excitable from precipi- tating race riot by attacking the Mexican residents of the city.
 Little fear is expressed here as to the fate of the United States troops in tba,Aevent of a fight with the Car ranA forces. It is said that General Pershing is competent to take care
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-04-13

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 13.- The receipt of the note from Presi- dent Carranza of Mexico. demanding the withdrawal of the United States troops from that country, has put a new and very grave face upon the Mexican situation, and administra- tion officials are preparing for the worst It is not denied that a con- plete rupture with Mexico is possible, or even probable, and that the out look at present is ominons.
 The note of President Carranza states that Villas band has been dis persed and that the work started to be performed by the American troops has been accomplished; that there is no longer any excuse for their re- maining upon Mexican soil, and he formally demands their withdrawal.
 President Wilson and the members of the cabinet refused to make any comment on the situation, but it was mi-officially announced this morn ing that the United States troops would not under any circumstances be withdrawn from Mexico until Vil- la had been captured or killed.

War With Mexico Predicted.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. April 13.- War with Mexico is freely predicted in official circles here. Members of the administration are not at all reti- cent in declaring that struggle is in- evitable unless Carranza moderates his demands greatly. It is taken for granted that the report that Presi- dent Wilson had declined to with draw the American troops and would continue in pursuit of the Mexican outlaw leader is true, and the source of the report is such that there can be no doubt of it's authenticity It is expected momentarily that orders will be issued for the various state militias to be held ill readiness for instant departure for the border. and it is stated that preparations to this end are being hurriedly made by the war department.

! BIG STOCK LIQUOR IS SEIZED

SEATTLE, April 13.-Hyde's drug store and four others, which have been in operation since the first of the year, were raided yesterday by the police, who have suspicioned that they were selling liquor in violation of the law. and liquor to the value of $5,OOO was seized.
 It is alleged by the police that one of these "drug stores" has imported thirty-eight quarts of whiskey in the past two months.
 A determined effort is being made by the authorities to stop the illegal selling of liquors by these drug stores many of which have been opened up since prohibition went into effect, and, it is alleged, the drug depart mont is merely a blind to cover the sale of liquors.
 It is said that the proprietors of Esome of these stores have made a small fortune in the past three months from the, sale of beer and whiskey.

Six Men Arrested for Conspiring to
 Bring Prohibited Pictures Into the Country-Pictures to Be Projected

/. NEW YORK, April 19.-Six men were arrested here today, charged with conspiracy to evade the motion picture films of the Johnson-Willard fight into the United States. The i'm portation of the films into this coun- try has been prohibited. The. men arrested had made arrangements whereby the pictures, which are now in Canada, were to be projected to the American side of the line and rephotographed and by this means the importation of the films into the United States would have been avoided.
 The prisoners had all the appara- tus in readiness to carry out the plan when taken into custody.
