Dr. charles D. Waleott, OF the smithsoniar

DR.. Charles D. Wsleott, of the Smithsonian
Institution, told the House Committee on Naval
Affairs that if the Turkish forces at Erzerum had
been equipped with aeroplane they would have
been able to escape and very few would have been
taken prisoner by the Russian forces Whereupon
Representative Galloway, of Texas, wanted to know
if it wasn't a strange coincidence that this an
nouncement should come on the very day when
this committee has before it the subject of appro-
priations for aeroplanes?" 1t is just like those
willy Turks to capitulate at Erzerum in the nick of
time to worry Mr.. Galloway.

A Line o Cheer Each Day o the Year,
By JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.

First printing of original poem. written daii,
for The Washington Herald
CHEER
Our purpose here
Is winning cheer,
And ever do we seek it.
In or rain,
IN joy or pain,
We constantly bespeak it.
On every hand,
On sea and LAND,
Its glow is what we're after;
In smiles tears,
In hopes fears,
In sorrow or in laughter.
For cheer you know
'Mongst high low,
To King or humble clod, sir,
Is nothing more
Than just store
OF Love and Peace of God, sir.

VILLA LOCATED

please rectify these false state
ments," said Gen. Aguilar to The AS
ISOLATED Press.
1.-The Mexican government has not
given the American government per-
mission to use Mexican railways for
any purpose whatever"
Ell Paso, Texas, April 7.-Francisco
Villa was definitely located at La Bou-
quilla tonight, in a code message re-
ceived here from Torreon, Mexico. La
Bouquilla is So miles southeast of Sa-
of Parral.
Recent Travels
The message said that the bandit had
been at Santa Rosalia a couple Of days
ago and from there had turned west to
La Boquilla Santa Rosalia Is on the
Mexican Central Railroad, 80 miles south
east Of Chihuahua City. 1t was formerly
one of the most important mining towns
in central Chihuahua. Some millions Of
American dollars are said to have been
invested in the Santa Rosalia mines and
shelters, but the place has been practi-
cally deserted since Mexico's present
troubles began.
From Santa RoSalia short spur on the
Central Railroad runs west to La b.
quilla. about 20 miles distant. The lat
ter place is the site of the famous Gale
tine hot springs, famous health resort
which rivalled the most celebrated spas
Of the Continent in the days of Porfiro
Diaz. 1t was run by Americans, who
operated magnificent hotel there, but
like Santa Rosalia, it has been deserted
for the last two years.
The message from Torreon has again
revived the dropping hopes of a success
full termination Of Gen. Pershing's expedi-
ton. American troops are known to
have reached Satevo and to have passed
south Of that town. The chance that
another dash like Dodd's ride to Guerre-
70 may bring the troopers Of the United
States up with the fugitive bandit eager
ly is being discussed here. The news
from Torreon, provided it proves correct,
gives fresh support to the belief that
Villas immediate objective is Parral.

Other Officers

Other convention officers were
chosen:
Lafayette B. Gleason Of New York,
secretary; William F. Stone of Balti-
more, sergeant-at-arns, and George L.
Fart, of Roanoke, Va, official reporter.
The committeeman declined to dis
cuss Presidential possibilities. Chair
man Charles D. Hilles of New York
said the recent announcement of Col
Cncl Theodore Roosevelt concerning the
National convention was no surprise"
To Meet With Open Mind
ut is significant fact, he said
that in a majority of the states I'M
instructed delegates are being selected
and that the national committee are
being endorsed for reelection. This
condition bears out the prophecy that
the convention will meet with an open
mind and will be prepared to name the
best man for the place.

WILSON
AND CABINET
ARE WAITING
FOR GERMANY
Agree at Conference to
Take No Decisive Step
at Present
Expect German Admission of

Seems to Be Adequate Punish
ment of Commander

Washington, April 7.-President Will
today the recent attacks on merchant
vessels carrying Americans and agreed
to defer any decisive steps while await
ing the German governments reply to
the inquiry of Ambassador Gerard as
to whether German submarines sank
the Sussex, Englishman, Manchester En-
gineer and Eagle Point.
The President and Secretary Lansing
expect the desired information from
liminary report from Ambassador &C.
rard, said in unofficial dispatches to
have been forwarded from Berlin, had
not arrived here late tonight.
Wilson on Yacht
President Wilson left Washington to-
night on the naval yacht Mayflower
taking with him complete data on the
Sussex and other cases prepared for him
at the state department. He expects
to be away until Sunday night or Mon
day morning, unless definite word from
bcTllu Is IcCclNcO III lilC IlcoitiLiC. Any
information will be sent to him imme-
diately by wireless. Although some
ranking officials Of the government al
ready have concluded that Germany is
deliberately attacking vessels regardless
Of the rights Of neutrals it is declared
authoritatively that the United States
cannot question the German govern
ments good faith until full opportunity
has been allowed for response to Am
bassador Gerards inquiries and for a
demonstration Of whether submarine
commanders are supported in attacking
vessels contrary to international law.
The administration virtually has con-
cluded that a German submarine tor
pedoed the Sussex. and officials now con-
slider the principal point at issue to be
whether Germany will adequately pun
ish the officer responsible.
Just what punishment would be con-
sidered adequate apparently has not
been determined.
German Attitude

regarding the attitude of German Off

INDEPENDENCE
OF CANTON HAS
Been DECLARED
Observers Believe Detection
Points to Downfall of
Yuan Shi Kai

Shanghai, April THE independ-
ence of Canton was formally declared
yesterday afternoon after a conference
of military and naval officers and lead
ing citizens with Lung Chi Kuong, gov
ernor of ksang- Tung province No
fighting took place.
The secession is considered impor-
tant as observers of the situation look
upon 1t as pointing to the probable
downfall Of Yuan Shi Kai and expect
it to lead to the detection of other
southern provinces and strengthen the
hands Of the southern leaders in their
reiterated demand for Yuan's retire
ment and the redistribution Of the Nam
king Constitution.
1t is considered noteworthy that
there are no apprehensions for the
safety of foreigners.

Another Amendment

The Senate voted on only one
amendment to the bill today adopting
without roll call the proposal of SEN
ator Smith Of Georgia that enlisted
men in the regular army hereafter be
given opportunity for - hours of vo-
catlonal education a month during
their active service in peace time. CT
villain instructors to aid army officers
in this work are authorized by the
amendment which specifies that the
training shall be in agriculture or the
mechanic arts. Senator Chamberlain
accepted the amendment when Sena-
tor Smith reduced the time allotted
from "a to 70 hours a month.
Debate on various proposals for the
erection of a government plant for the
fixation OF atmospheric nitrogen oc-
cup1ed the remainder of the day. The
pending amendment was that of Sem
ator Smith of South Carolina to an
propriate s15,0000OO for a plant, site
and process to be determined by the
war department. The surplus capacity
over the government needs in peace
times, under the proposal, would 60
into the manufacture of fertilizer to be
sold by the government through the
secretary of agriculture.
Lodges Attack
Senator Lodge attacked the project
but addressed himself particularly to
the amendment offered by Senator
Underwood of Alabama which would
provide for war department investi-
cation of the question of waterpower
sites and the process to be used. He
placed in the record an outline of the

French Gain

Continuing their vigorous ccunter-at-
tacks on the trenches taken from them
by the Germans between Bethincourt
and Hill PCS, the French with the use
of hand grenades, have re-captured adj
ditional portions of their lost ground
and in addition made progress in COM
municating trenches.
Around Haucourt the Germans made a
violent attack against the French, pre-
viously having prepared the way by a
heavy bombardment lasting several
hours. The French, however, through
the use of their curtain of fire and raj id
fire guns, put down the attack and fore
ed the Germans to retreat, leaving nu-
merous dead on the ground as they made
their way back to their trenches.
Artillery DueIs
On the remainder Of the front in
France and in Belgium artillery engage
ments alone have been in progress On
the eastern front there has been a con-
tinuation of the lively artillery engage
ments in the lake region south Of
Dvinsk, especially about Lake Narocz
where the Russians succeeded in occu-
plying portions of German trenches. The
artillery on both sides also has been
busy around Riga and Friedrichstadt
and in East Galicia.
Austrians Take Ridge
The Austrians have re-captured from
the Italians ridge north Of Montecris-
tobal and in the operation made num-
Der of prisoners and captured two ma
chine guns. Attacks by the Italians in
large force north of the Sugana valley
were repulsed according to Vienna
Flood conditions along the Tigris river
are again hampering the British force
which is endeavorng to make its way
up the river to the relief of the British
besieged in kut-El- Amara. In the eau
casus region near the Black sea coast
the Russians have captured Turkish po-
sitOns along the karade river and inland
along the Upper Tchoruk river continue
their progress against the Ottomans de-
spite the cold and heavy SHOWS.
