Will Act Quickly.

If the evidence is strong enough to
convince the president and his legal
experts that the German pledges are
being broken and were made to be
broken, he will act sharply and swift
ly. There is little probability that he
will take the matter to congress until
he has exhausted the search for evil
dence, and, when he does, it will be
with a case made up and an order
ousting Won Bernstorff from the
country.
Today's status of the matter appar-
emily is that the issue is more grave
than ever, because the good faith OF
Germany is that in question more
than ever before.

VILLA SLAUGHTERS
CARRANZA GARRISON

San Antonio, = March 31.-After'
killing every one of the 172 men in
the, garrison at Guerrero, Francisco
Villa flew northward Wednesday and
now is somewhere in the headwaters
of the, Santa Maria river, according
to unofficial information secured by
General Funston. At the head of
considerable force, Villa was re-
ported to be on the San Geronimo
ranch, or the Quernado ranch, and
troops of both the United States and
Mexico are believed to be closing in
on him.
Regarded as Correct.
This information was regarded by
General Funston and his staff as
probably correct. If correct, it ap-
pears probable that very soon Villa
either will have to face his pursuers
in fight or make another break
through the threatening lines OF
troops.
Whether his assault on the garri-
son at Guerrero was the same engage
ment reported by General Persh1ng
was not known, but it was considered
likely, since the action. reported by
General Pershing occurred March ~,
somewhere in that region. Details
of the engagement were not reported.
General Pershing has been advised
of the report as to Villas location and
| it is known that the disposition OF his
troops and that of the Mexican gov
ernment are such that Villa cannot
easily escape without fight. Ameri-
can troops are converging from COL
umns from the north, and it was In
Idicated that part of them had gone
so far south that they would be aDie
to join with the Carranza forces IN
preventing his escape in that direc-
tion.

Washington, March 31-The latest
phase of the submarine warfare
brought out by the sinking of the
Sussex, is question of evidence. I'm
til this is settled, the president will
not take any steps. He is almost at
the breaking point with Germany,
but does not wish to break off rela-
tions without clear issue.
Others to Consider.
The German contention here is that
the Sussex struck British mine but
even if this were true, the president
has not yet made up his mind that
the Englishman, Manchester Engi-
neer, Eagle Point and other ships met
their fate in like manner. He hesi-
tates to believe that Germany has
been playing with him and that her
pledges are not worth considering.
Yet, the conviction is almost forced
upon him that this is the case.> The
Baltimore Sun, which is usually re-
garded as speakingthe administration
mind, editorially asks why not con-
slider circumstantial evidence, and
goes on to cite the circumstances
which go to prove that the Sussex
was torpedoed This undoubtedly is
what is going on in the presidential
mind also-a careful canvass of the
circumstantial evidence.

PRODUCING Senator Bryan, he stressed
that gentleman's popularity in Escam-

the fair count on which he was de-
clared the nominee.
"A man can't be democrat unless
he stands by his party" said Mr. Lew
is. There was applause. Mr.. Lewis
then showed how Cats deserted the
democratic party and was the nomi-
nee of the independent and the pro-
hibition party, which actually had a
candidate in the field to oppose demo-
cratic Representative Clarke.
Cats Came to Disrupt.
"Catts" declared the speaker, "came
here few years ago with the avowed
purpose of organizing secret politi-
cal organization in Florida in order
that he might benefit. That organi-
zation is known as the Guardians of
Liberty. Its object is to drive a
wedge into the democratic party.
Nelson A. Miles, is the head of it
the man who placed the shackles on
Jefferson Davis, and put him in pris-
on at Fortress Monroe"
Declaring that Cats had no policy
but a destructive lone, Mr.. Lewis
showed how the independent candidate
had devoted his time to an indictment
of the school system, an arraignment
of our womanhood, to the SANDER of
the Confederate soldiers, to an at
tack on the state democratic commit
tee, and to an abuse. of the supreme
court of the state.
Cats wanted to change the school
system of Florida, said Lewis, yet
what did he show for qualification
Had he done anything in Alabama
that could guarantee his fitness for
the task? Of course not But know
ing only the school system of Ala
bama, he wanted to change the school
system of Florida, which stands ten
states above Alabama in educational
matters, said the speaker, and indeed
is the best in the south as proved by
statistics.
Used Religion to Get Votes.
The anti Catholic propaganda of
Cats meant nothing, said Mr.. Lewis
except desire to get votes. Cats
used the anti Catholic propaganda
where there were no Catholics, but
when he came to places like Pensacola
where the Catholic vote was heavy
he wanted to have a love feast with
the Catholics.
He referred to Cats Islander of the

Work will be commenced Monday

calls for completion within 30 days.

would not support him, had aligned

Challenges Cats to Deny Statement.
Mr.. Lewis then stated categorically
that he was present in the court house
in Mariana when Cats made the
famous declaration about the high
school girls lettering on the street
corners, hoping to get some man,
married or not, to give them soda
water and take them joy riding in
automobiles at night. Cats has de-
MED this subsequently, but Mr.. Lewis
said he challenged Cats to deny it in
his presence.
Contrasts Knots Record.
AS contrasted with this record of
destructive hate, Mr.. Lewis referred
to Mr.. Knott who has lived in Florida
for thirty four-years, and who has
been serving the people faithfully and
successfully since 1898, rising stead
lily in office until now he was the
candidate of the democratic party for
the highest office within the gift of
the state.

Cites Kehoe Recount.
Mr.. Lewis referred to the recount
of votes of 1908 by which Mr.. Kehoe
was counted out. There was no pro-
test then. And why? Because Mr.
Kehoe was democratic and supported

GASOLINE SUPPLY
NEARING EXHAUSTION
But Is Still Good for 1873 Years, Elk
pert Tells Society of Agricultural
Engineers.

CHICAGO, Dee. 30.-A note of alarm
as to the gasoline supply of the country
was sounded at the convention Of the
Society of Agricultural Engineers here
yesterday by Dr.. Oscar f. Bransky of
the Standard Oil company,
He declared that production was not
keeping pace with consumption and
that exhaustion Of the supply was draw
ing near. The tension was consider
ably relieved, however, when it was cal
culated that the estimated remaining
supply of crude oil, visible and invis-
ible, ,629 ,0oo,0 900 barrels in all, would
last l3S years longer at the 1916 rate
of consumption of 55,000,000 barrels.
Dr. Bransky said next year there will
be 100000 automobiles in operation
in the United States, or 100000 more
than this year. He estimated that
Eastern oil fields are IS per cent eX-
hausted; midcontincntal fields, so per
cent; Texas fields, 50 per cent; and the
California fields, 80 per cent exhausted.

central powers and full half of that
army, despite advantages of the defen-

this year. Neither victors nor van
