awaiting an interpretation of the treaty by the courts, the state de- partment is acting in accordance with precedent The executive branch of the government always has re- trained from interfering with the judiciary in such cases.
 It is believed the case of the Ap- pam ultimately will reach the su- preme court no matter what may be the decision in the district court. Should the court decide, however, that it has no jurisdiction in the matter, the decision of the depart ment may be made public imme- diately.
 The communication to the ambas- sador was in reply to a note sent by him to Secretary Lansing. pro- testing against the litigation and asking that the court he informed that under the terms of the treaty such action was improper.
 The case of the Appam is expected to come before the court in Norfolk tomorrow.

 Chairman Stone of the foreign re- lations committe at once replied that the president never had stated to him nor in his hearing that he be- lieved. or in any way entertained the thought that war between the United States and Germany would be desir- able or would result in good to the United States. When the White House heard what Senator Gore had said, this statement was issued:
 When the attention of the White House was called to certain state ments in Senator Cores speech this afternoon, the president authorized an unqualified denial of any utterance to which any such meaning could be attached"
 It was explained on his behalf that the president had told the congress- men he could not predict what would follow a breaking off of diplomatic relations and had expressed in the most vigorous terms his hope that the United States would not be drawn into war and his determination to continue to bend his every effort to prevent it. It was denied that the president said anything to convey the impression that he desired the United tSates to enter the war to shorten it or for any other reason, but he reiterated the necessity of up- holding the national honor of the United States at all costs.
 Nc attempt was made to minimize the realization of the effect Senator Cores declaration might hove On the foreign situation at this time and on all sides it was admitted to be prob ably the most serious turn that has vet been given to the situation.

border early today is persistentIy
asserted by men in close touch with

ton of throwing line of U. S. sol
diers between Villa and Sierra Madre

is believed here this purpose has al

Washington, March IA. - All re-
ports today told of quieting effect
upon Mexican popular sentiment
through reciprocal arrangement with
Carranza. Attitude of first chief not
yet known, but believed he will raise
no further objections to American
expedition as result of permission
given him to enter American terri
tory with his troops after bandits
who may raid Mexico from U. S. side.
Border reports that Carranza
forces were modifying and threaten
armed resistance to American expe-
dition declared by officials to be eX-
aggerated. While not assured that
Carranza's troops will cooperate in
Villa hunt, it is confidently believed
they will not be ordered to oppose
U. S. troopers.
Final orders for Villa hunt were in
Gen. FunstOn's hands. Few isolated
