j. S. SHOULD FIGHT
ONLY FOR HUMANITY
President Makes Above State
ment to D. A. R.
DELEGATES APPLAUD WORDS
Wilson Declares That Tradition of
Our Forefathers Is Only Guide
for the Country to
Follow.

Washington, April 1S.-President
Wilson, speaking before the Daughters
of the American Revolution here, de-
clared that the only excuse for the
United States ever to fight would be in
the cause of humanity. His words were
applauded enthusiastically by dele
gates from all parts of the country.
Tradition is a handsome thing in
the proportion TO which we live up to
it," declared the president. But we
must never fall below that tradition.
The birth of this nation was signif-
cant because no other nation was ever
born in the world with the purpose of
serving the rest of mankind.
III we fall away from the tradition
of the fathers" said the president,
I'VE have dishonored them. If we for
get the tradition of the fathers, we
have changed our character; we have
lost an old impulse; we have become
unconscious of the principles in which
the life of the nation itself is rooted
and grounded.
No Excuse But Humanity.
America will have forgotten her
traditions whenever upon any occa-
sion she fights merely for herself un-
der such circumstances AS will show
that she has forgotten to fight for all
mankind And the only excuse that
America can ever have for the asser-
ton Of her physical force is that she
asserts it in behalf Of the interest of
humanity.
What a splendid thing it is to have
so singular Il tradition. E tradition of
unselfishuess, When America ceases
to be unsetish she will cease to be
America. When she forg3ts the tradi-
lions of devotion to human rights in
general, which gave spiric and impulse
to her founders, she Will have lost her
title deeds to her own nationality

lNDICTS Won PAPEN
FEDERAL GRAND JURY RETURNS
TRUE BILLS AGAINST OTHERS.
Recalled German Military Attache
Charged With Eeing in Plot to
Blow Up Welland Canal.

New York, April 1S.-Capt. Franz
Won Papen, recalled military attache
to the German embassy at Washing
ton, was indicted by the federal grand
jury in connection with the alleged
plot to blow up the Welland canal in
September, 1874.
Won Papen was one of the five per-
sons indicted in the case, including
Capt. Hans Tauscher. husband of Cad
ski, the singer, who already is unaSr
arrest charged with being concerned
in the plot
The indictment is understood to be
based on testimony given before the
jury by Horst Won der Goltz, also
known as Bridgman Taylor, who was
brought here from England last month
after it had been discovered that check
stubs taken from Won Papen on his
return to Germany showed payments
by the military attGche to Won der
Goltz.
Won der Goltz is understood to have
testified that Won Papen engineered
the plot to destroy the canal.
The indictment charges, according
to Assistant District Attorney Wood
that Won Papen provided the money
to carry out the plot, which is de-
scribed as military enterprise" 1t
alleges that on different dates in Sep
TENDER, 1914, he gave Won der Goltz
checks for $500, two of them payable
through John T. Ryan of Buffalo.
The Indictment also charges that
Won Papen made arrangements with
those who were to carry out the plot
during a visit he made to Baltimore
in August, 1914.
1t was charged when Tauscher was
arrested that he and four accomplices
obtained large quantity of dynamite
in New York and took it to Niagara
Falls for the purpose to blowing up
the Canadian waterway. The plot for
some reason was abandoned.
Two Others of the five persons in
dicted are Alfred J. FritZen and kon-
stantin kovanni The name of the
fifth was withheld by the district at
torney.

AERO CHIEF OUSTED
LIEUTENANT COLONEL REBER
RELIEVED OF DUTY.
Two others Are Hlt-Air Service &c
Be Separate Body, According
to Secretary Baker.

Washington, April 18.-Creation of
separate army corps for aviation
distinct from the signal corps was fore
cast by Secretary Baker in announcing
| general shaking up of the lying
branch of the army by the president
and the war department as a result OF
the recent investigations OF the serv-
ice.
If this plan is followed it will pave
the way to the addition Of battle air
craft to the scouting and message
bearing aeroplanes now used.
Recommendation of the court-mar-
tial which tried Lieut.. Col. Lewis e.
Cooler, judge advocate of the west
ern department, were approved, as
were those of special board OF ON
GERS appointed to inquire into the
whole question of discipline and con
duct of the aviation section. These
steps were taken:
Colonel Goodier was censured by
President Wilson as commander in
chief of the army for having failed
ito observe the attitude which his Of
flee and seniority of rank required
him to observe among junior Off
GERS"
Secretary Baker censured Brig. Gen.
George p. Scriven, chief signal officer
of the army, for his failure personally
to supervise the disciplinary features
of the aviation corps administration
Lieut.. Col Samuel Reber, chief Of
the aviation section, signal corps, was
relieved from that duty and censured
by Secretary Baker for disrespect to
a coordinate branch of the govern
ment, failure to observe the restraints
imposed by law with regard to the
personnel and pSy of members OF the
aviation section" and for other rea-
sons.
The appointment of a committee OF
the general staff to study the reorgan-
ization of the aviation section was dl-
rected by Secretary Baker.
Colonel Goodier's case was only in
cidental to the general shake-up of
the aviation section, although hear
ings in that trial held at San Fran
cisco several months ago served to
call attention to the conditions that
resulted in these orders.
After his son, Lieut. Lewis f.. Good
Ter, Jr, of the coast artillery, had been
injured while studying aviation at San
Diego, Colonel Goodier. according to
the testimony made every effort to
GUST Capt. Arthur S. Cowan from his
post as commandant of the school,
and alec attacked the aviation section
in letters to brother officers, many of
which found their way into print.

GIVES DETAILS OF
AFFAIR At PARRAL
Mexican Officer Asked Tompkins
to Enter City.
U. S. COURIER IS MISSING
Messenger Sent Ahead Of American
Force Fails to Report-Funston
HaIts Further Advance South
in Mexico.

San Antonio. Tex, April 1S.-Satis-
fled that all the essential features Of
tho Parral incident have been received
and reported to Washington, General
Funston and his staff officers are push
ing plans for the Mexican campaign,
pat will not send men farther into
Mexico.
A report from General Pershing re-
ceived contained the names of dead
and wounded in the Parral fight
Wednesday and gave few more de-
tails of the incident that preceded Ma
jor Tompk!ns entry of Parral.
He said a captain of General Lozano
visited the American camp Tuesday
night, leaving after breakfast Wednes-
day morning.
1t was his insistent invitation that
they go directly into Parral that
caused Tompkins to enter the city,
but to guard further against any UNI
pleasant incident he sent forward a
courier, but what became of him has
not been learned.
List Of Dead and Injured.
Following are the names Of the dead
and wounded in the action at Parral:
Dead: Sergeant Joe Ridgley and
Private Herbert Ledford
Wounded Major Frank Tompkins,
Lieutenant James b. Ord, Corporal
Benjamin McGliel, Corporal w. E. Will
bingham, Corporal Richard Taunous
and Private l. NJ. Shedyer.
In addition, Private Charles Eichen-
berger was reported missing.
With the exception of Lieutenant
Ord of the Sixth infantry all belong
to the Thirteenth cavalry.
Corporal Taunous injury is the only
one reported as serious.
Can't Extend Lines.
General Funston said that the main
line of communication, now as far
south as Satevo, could not be extended
further south with the present number
of troops available, and frankly ex-
pressed his conviction that operations
farther south could not be conducted
unless authority was obtained for the
establishment of a new border base,
the free use of railroads or the ma
terial strengthening of the forces now
in Mexico.
He said that in stretching the line
to Satevo the maximum Of its elias
ITCHY had been attained.
Fall Back to Satevo.
Detached columns OF cavalry are OPP
Grating south of Satevo, but only so
far as rations for man and horse can
be carried.
The three detachments that met at
Santa Cruz, eight miles from Parral,
now have left there and probably
fallen back on the line at Satevo
General Funston explained that the
country in that district was absolute
" barren Of fOOdstuffs for either the
men or the animals and that unless
they had returned to Parral their re-
turn to Satcyo must have been neces,
sary He assumed they had not re-
turned to Parral.
Headquarters is awaiting news from
Col w. c. Brown Of the Tenth caval-
~. General Funston was advised that
Colonel Brown had asked Consul
Letchcr at chihuahua to have an aero
plane sent to Santa Cruz, near Parral,
to carry back a dispatch on an oc-
currcnCe last Thursday night
