'Pershins's Troops Do Not Plan to Pro-
ceed South OF Satevo. s,
!. San Antonio, Tex, April 1S. - II
Francisco Villa is not dead he has now
an excellent opportunity to escape in
territory far beyond the advance de-
tachments of the American expedition,
and the punitive force has moved as
far south as it. is going to do with the
present organization. F5& as
Communications admitting that the
operations will not extend south OF
Satevo were taken to mean that the
operations now will be restricted to
that locality. Beyond the arcNof that
fan Villa would be safe as far as the
Americans are concerned.
zs General Pershing is believed to have
explained in detail this phase Of the
situation in report to General Fun
stonSand to have made representations
that more effective facilities for the
pursuit of Villa be authorized.
Officers here regard the Parral inct-.
dent as indicating clearly that General
Persing's men now have not only to
guard themselves from Villas men but
from those detachments of Carranza's
army that are antagonistic to his an
nounced cooperation. .l s1.s,z ss,s3 e.
General Funston today asked that
reports be made to him at once on the
report that forage sent to chihuahua
for American troops had been seized
by Carranza authorities. No advices
that the shipment had reached the
army has been received. - 4
General Funston was awaiting today
the confirmation Of the story that Villa
was dead. No American official has
sent any report other than the uncon-
firmed story Of Mexic4 officials. ~.

Washington, April 1S.-The cabinet
discussion of the submarine crisis to-
day resulted in no change in the situ-
alton and it was announced that moth
ing had come to prevent the dispatch
Of the American note to Germany as
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, acting under instructions
from his government will discuss the
submarine crisis in general terms with
Secretary Lansing at 4 o'clock this aft
ernoon.
1t was said some changes might be
made in the phraseology in the note as
drawn up by President Wilson yes
terday. Just what points to be
changed were not revealed.
It is understood the ambassador has
no instruction to discuss any specific
case hut 10 take UP the question
broadly.
There was some indication today
that Ambassador Gerard had been in
formed by the Berlin foreign office of
its desires to meet the wishes OF the
United States, if it is shown that the
channel steamer Sussex was destroyed
by submarine Of the German govern
ment.
, Count Won Bernstorff's engagement
to discuss the situation with Secretary
Lansing in general terms late today
will not delay the sending of the note
nor cause any change in its terms.
Will Not Inform Public.
According to the present plan Of Mr..
Wilson, Germany is to be let into the
secret Of the attitude of the adminis-
trarion in advance of the American
pee ple This is in accord with the
presidents policy of secret diplomacy.
Upon this practice of the president
public men are sharply divided. De-
tenders of Mr. Wilson argue that none
knows so we'll as he what Is best for
the country and that if he takes any
distinct action the people may rest as
sured he is following the wisest course.
Critics of. the president contend that
this is the policy of the secret chan
cellec:es Of Europe, which brought on
the great conflict now raging, and that
in the American democracy the execu-
tive has no right to take a step which
may mean war without the knowledge
OF the 100000, 900 people who are most
vitally concerned.
Hint Lansing May Quit.
Even Secretary Lansing does not
know the final shape in which the pres
ident has cast the statement of the ad-'
ministration's charges that Germany
has violated international law and
broken it's pledges to the United States
in regard to submarine warfare.
1t was reported last night that the
president had taken the whole matter
out of Secretary Lansing's hands. Mr..
Lansing denied this report 1t Is sig
nificant, however, that the moderation
faction of the cabinet was confident
last night that it has won a victory
over the drastic policy party headed
by Secretary Lansing. The moderates
have reason to believe Mr.. Wilson has
rejected the advice Of Mr.. Lansing
who was urging extreme action IN
dealing with Germany, and has modi-
fed the whole tenor Of the note.
Reports that the president and Mr..
Lansing are not entirely in accord con-
tinue to be heard, and the resignation
of Mr.. Lansing would not create much
surprise in the capital.

L London, April 18.-Premier Asquith
will not make his expected statement
in the house of commons on the re-
cruiting question today, according to
an official announcement made.
The postponement Of Premier AS
qufth's statement which he had prom
ised to make this afternoon, was taken
as an indication that the cabinet min

brought about the most serious crisis
the premier has had to meet :.
The decision came as a complete sur
prise to those not within the inner
circle but it later transpired that ne
gotiations had been in progress during
the night and early morning with that
end in view. a5gs.s t rs vi
There was a conference OF special
committee appointed to make final
effort to solve the problem. but like the

David Lloyd George, the minister OF
munitions, who. putting all his old
principles behind him, has come out
strongly for compulsory service for all
men Of military age; Field Marshal

.favors conscription; Gen. Sir William
Robertson, who As expected TO follow
the course OF his chief: Walter Hume
Long, president of the local govern

posed to further extension Of compul-
sion. @
Premier Asquith is expected to ex-
plain the delay in the house and will be
asked when a decision will be reached.
Split In Cabinet Probable.
It is generally. understood that Mr..
Lloyd George. Earl Kitchener. and Earl
Curzon are the members Of the cabinet
most insistent for general conscription
and the possibility that they will re-
sign II the majority OF the cabinet de-
cides against them is being discussed
widely. George Bonar Law hnds hirn-

the wreckage resulting from q rear-end
collision Of two trains on the New

ternine whether it contained any bod

cate themselves from the burning mass.
Thirty persons were injured. ss
<t All the victims were. occupants or the

started to run into siding when the
'S1ilt Edge" express from Boston ran
into it. Sparks set the wreckage afire
and the nearby station and freight
house were destroyed. together with
four wooden coaches OF the local train.
Trainmen were at variance in state
ments as to the signals. .e,-
The engineer Of the local train SAID
that he had trouble in making steam
and when he arrived at Bradford re-
wired to New London for instructions.
He was told to draw to a siding at
Bradford to let the express pass and
was just moving his train from the
main track when the express bore
down upon him. There were only about
fifty passengers on the local and the
loss of life and most severe injuries
were suffered by those In the rear car.
