WASHINGTON April 14.-A speech which may have historic significance was made last night by PreSl- dent Wilson at the Jefferson banquet at which Democrats from all parts of the country present Before the banquet the news had arrived in short form of the attack on the American troops at Paa and the diners also had
 in view the recent request of Caranza that the American troops withdraw from Mexican territory. Naturally,
 they expected statement from the President these questions and they were not mistaken Mr. Wilson spoke evidently with the greatest and calculation. He prayed that the United States would not be drawn into quarrel of the United States choosing, but when he asked Eff the people are ready go in where the interests of the nation are confident with the interest of humanity and if they have the courage to withdraw when the inter- ests of humanity have been conserved" he was interrupt ed by cheers and shouts of yes During his speech pre- vousy he had mentioned the European and Mexican stu- ations but without ntimatng the least what his plans He declared that in the present situation the respon sby is with the Democratic party because that party controls the government He also declared that it was for the United States to hold the balance even and not to allow 8ome malignant influence to depress one side Or the other"

WILD RUNIORS AFLOAT

FL PASO, April 14.-The widest runors are aAoat in the towns along the border regarding the occurrences at Paa and with respect to the request of Caanza that the American troops leave Mexico The general feeling seems to be that the number of U S. troops in Mexico is not sufficient to guard against all eventuades and strong representations will probably be made for the raising of additional forces at once The first news of the ParraI
 fight was apparently exaggerated and some of the rumor were that several Americans had been surrounded and slaughtered is still believed that the force of Major Tompins is in grave danger.

RESOLUTION TO

HOUSE ASKED TO VOTE TO KEEP ON AFTER
 VILLA.

WASHINGTON, April 14-A reso- lution was introduced in the House this afternoon providing that the American forces be not withdrawn from Mexico until Villa is killed, cap tured or exiled. This resolution is supposed to be intended to strengthen the hands of President Wilson to re- sist the desire of Carranza and it is sure to be carried notwithstanding the suggestion made by the president at the Jefferson banquet last night that a nation might bonorabIy withdraw when the interests of humanity are conserved.

Cousin of King of
 Montenegro Here
Is Exporter Now and Comes to Look
 Over this Part of Alaska.

Danilo Vucetich, now an exporter and merchant of the Pacific coast but a cousin of the exiled king of Monte negro, is at present in Seward look ing around, possibly with a view to extending his business connections. He is Hooking around" anyhow, to use an old expression, but last even ing he held a roomful of people in the Commercial Club while he told most absorbingly interesting things about the Balkans and the near east. MT. Vucetich is of Serbian, Slavic, nation ality but was born in the city of Con- stantinople. He is a cousin of the present ewled king of Montenegro and his name, Danilo, was taken from Prince Danilo of Montenegro whose name has appeared so frequently in publications since the outbreak of the war. Mr.. Vucetich smiles when ex- plaining his relationship to Nicholas. His grandmother was a first cousin 70 the mother of the king but Mir. Vucetich reminds one that our idea of royalty in the Balkans is different al- together from the actuality. The king of Montenegro lived in a modest house in the tiny capital and some times would sit at the open window and speak to the neighbors as they passed by while at times he walked into the friends houses and visited just as a priest or parson might. The sons of the king are accustomed to walk into cafes like any boys and make themselves at home. Mir. Vucetich has all the patriotic cer- tainty that the Allied nations will win the war and that brave Serbia and Montenegro will again come to their own. He says three hundred thousand Serbians troops escaped from Serbia and are now on the island of Corfu, at Avlona and at Salonica, ready to take the field again when the allied ad- vance is ordered from Greek terri tory. He also tells the most remark able fact that Serbians never emi- grate from Serbia and not hundred of them can be found in the United States. The Serbians here are the ones who lived under Austrian or Bull garian or Turkish rule. In Serbia it. self every man must have a hJJle lalu and when a man does not hold his land he is an undesirable citizen. AL though born in CJnstantinople Mir. Vucetich has been again and again in Serbia and Montenegro, his birth in the Turkish capital having been only an accident, and an accident, by the way, which does not seem pleasant judging by his certainty that the Rus sians are surely now on the way around the Black sea to conquer Turkey.
