The Tageblatt attributed the delay
in the publication to the Easter holi-

Villa Menace Still Present.
[By III. d. Jacobs, United Press Staff

| GENERAL PTRSHINGS FIELD
HEADQUARTERS NEAR NAMIQUI-
PA, Mexico wireless to Columbus,
| N. M, April 22.)-The menace of Viii
la and his bandits is not believed re-
moved. Hardly day passes that
small bands are not sighted or re-
ported. Within the narrowed limits
since the Parral incident, the quest
for Villa and his followers continues.
Many wild and contradictory
stories reach headquarters OF villa
dead or alive. The report that he is
dead and will be brought to some
point on the Mexico Northwestern
railway, for identification finds little
credence among officers.
While no news has been received
from the Parral district, there is no
concern felt over the position Of the
advanced American columns nearest
to the scene OF the suspected Carran-
Vista trap.
The jagged defiles and canons here
abouts are ideal hiding places for the
Villistas. A band Of a hundred or
more could remain undiscovered until
a accommodating expedition fairly
stumbled onto them. But the Willis
tas evidently have had their fill OF
American craftsmanship in the two
or three clashes to date and keep out
OF harms way.

Convinced 1t was Submarine.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Oficials
of the German embassy are now fully
convinced that the Sussex was tor
pedoed by German submarine. This
became known to the United Press
today, although all comment, official
and unofficial was withheld for fear
of embarrassing the German govern
ment.
The decision was brought about, it
is known, by the evidence contained
in the American note to Germany.
1t is understood that the unofficial
belief here is that the submarine COM
mander may have been misled by the
manner in which the vessel was
painted, which, it is said, resembled
war paint.
