DEMAND OF us. A.
REICHSTAG Is TOLD THAT AMER
ICANS ARE NOT JUSTIFIED
IN SUBMARINE NATTER.

London, April Friedrich Won
Payer Of the progressive peoples
party touched upon German-American
relations in an address in the reich.
stag yesterday from which Reuters
Amsterdam correspondent quotes as
follows:
''The political influence of America
has risen with the duration Of the war.
It's growth lays the heaviest RESPONSE
bility on those European states which
caused the war. We feel ourselves
united with America by ties Of blood
and we hope the American people will
give us justice.
"At the present moment America
can perhaps render the world the
greatest service by keeping out of
reach Of the flames of war"
The correspondent quotes DR.. Gus
tave Stresemann, national liberal, as
follows:
'Just interests of neutrals must be
respected as has hitherto been done
by the government In the strictest
manner. America has interpreted the
idea of neutrality in manner incom-
patible with the German notion. It
is an unjustifable demand that armed
merchantmen should be permitted to
sail unhindered within the war zone."

ON HOT TRAIL AGAIN.

San Antonio, Tex, April Fran
cisco Villa was at Cieneguillas, ten
miles south of Satevo, on April 4,
according to Gen. Luis Gutierrez, COM
manding the Carranza troops in Chi
huahua. Gen. Bell received this in
formation from Chihuahua and trans
mitted 1t to Gen. Funston today. Amer
lean cavalry are pushing forward
along the trails to and beyond Satevo.
Gutierrez reported that Carranza
troops engaged fifty Villa men at
Cieneguillas, killed ten and captured
two. The prisoners said Villa had left
there early in the morning with 200
men, leaving the fifty as rear guard.
Gen. Bell reported that Mexican
sources indicated that some thousands
of the defacto government troops were
being moved south Of Chihuahua with
the ostensible purpose of checking
the retreat of Villa.
Another column Of American cav
airy arrived at Cusihuirachic to sup
port that of Col. w. G. Brown. who re-
ported there April 4, according to re-
ports at Gen. Funston's headquarters
today. Col. Brown explained his delay
in rendering report after the en-
gagement few days ago at Aguas
Calientes, near Bachineva, by saying
he and his forces had exhausted their
money and he had none to pay the
expense of getting message to a COM
merical wire. .M. .

CLASH is EXPECTED.

Ri Paso, Tex, April Advance
guards OF the American expedition
hunting Pancho Villa are operating to.
day near Satevo and news that Col.
Dodd's cavalry has again come into
contact with the Villistas is expected.
The region between Satevo and Par.
ral where Villa is reported to be
heading, is infested with numerous
bands Of Villa brigands.
American refugees from the Benito
Juarez district say that If Villa should
succeed in uniting these bands of
marauders, he would have an effec-
tive force of at least 1000 men and
would be in position to give the ad:
vance American troops hard battle.
The last Official information from
the front showed that American cav
airy had penetrated south of San An.
tonic and was still moving southwark
hard on the trail Of the Villistas. It
is believed that more frequent reports
will now be obtained from Col. Dodd
inasmuch as it is now possible for
him to relay his message by courier
to chihuahua and thence by Mexican
telegraph lines to Ell Paso for re-
transmission to Gen. Funston at San
Antonio.

Assistant, Attorney General
Comes to Confer With
County Officer
BOTH SIDES WORKING
HARD ON EVIDENCE
Everything Will Be Ready
When Case Is Called for
Trial on Tuesday

John T. Fletcher, assistant state at
torney general, arrived this morning
from Des Moines and Immediately
went into conference with County At
torney b. K. Daugherty on the states
preparation for the custer case against
G.. c. Cremer, sheriff of Wapello
county, which will begin at the court
house at 1 80 o'clock. next Tuesday
afternoon.
Both sides in the action have been
working diligently on their evidence
and will be ready when the case
is called by Judge A. N. Hobson Of
West Union, who was appointed by the
chief justice of the supreme court to
try It.. It is probable that the large
court room will be given over for the
hearing and Judge Cornell will use the
smaller room for his work next week.
The grand jury and the petit jury
both come at 80 o'clock next Monday
afternoon. The hearing of law actions
will probably be begun at once to use
the petit jury. It is probable that the
grand jurors will be dismissed at once
and then recalled at later date, as
the county attorney will be so busy
with both courts that he will not have
time to meet with the criminal investl-
gators. .,.... .... ~.
Mr.. Fletcher will probably return
this evening or Saturday and come
again Monday. The Judge Is expected
Tuesday morning and everything will
be in readiness for the beginning OF
the case. The sheriff's a. orneys' the
states representatives and checkers
have been going over the books Of the
offices for the past ten days, making
diligent collection Of material for evil
dence. Witnt ,ses will probably not be
subpoenaed until Monday.

WILSON AWAITS
GERMAN ANSWER
PRESIDENT. AND CABINET De
eide TO TAKE NO ACTION ON
SUBMARINES AT PRESENT.

\ Washington, D. c., April 7.-Presi-
vdent Wilson and the cabinet consider
ed the submarine situation again to-
day without deciding on action at this
time. It was understood the situa-
ton still waits on Germany's answer
to the inquiries on the recent de-
struction Of the Sussex and other ves-
sells.
All evidence at hand regarding the
destruction of the British channel
steamer Sussex and scores of other
merchant ships, some carrying Ameri-
can citizens, has been assembled at
the state department..
The evidence includes reports Of
American naval attaches containing
the statement that metal fragments of
German torpedo were found on the
Sussex. The reports are regarded
here as positive proof that German
submarine attacked the Sussex in d.
rect violation of assurances given the
United States by the Berlin govern
ment.
Col. E. M. House, who is a white
house guest, conferred with the presi-
dent and cabinet members regarding
the publication.
The number, Of neutral vessels sunk
recently engaged the attention of Of
ficials today. Unofacial advices say
that over twenty neutral ships and
more than twenty-five belligerent ves-
sells have been torpedoed within the
last week, most of them without
warning.

Germans Lose Heavily But
Gain Foothold in the
Harcourt Defenses
FRENCH ADVANCE
AT ANOTHER POINT
Big Offensive Is Launched
Against the Britons at
st. Eloi Positions

London, April THE Germans are
not only engaged in heavy fighting
with the French again around Verdun,
but they have started strong offen-
sive against the British near St. Eloi,
dred yards of trenches which the Brit
ish took from them ten days ago.
Both Germans and French have
made gains. The Germans captured
the village Of Harcourt, which is north
west of Verdun and Is considered by
the Germans as an important strategic
point. The French official report ad-
mits that the Germans gained foot
hold at Harcourt in spite Of repeated
checks and bloody sacrifices"
In severe hand to hand fighting, the
French drove the Germans back
through their underground passages
for distance of 200 meters along q
front Of 500 meters south of Ft.
Douaumont.
A French official report says the
Germans lost thirty-flve aeroplanes
during March and that the French lost
only thirteen.
East of the Meuse the French are
continuing their nibbling tactics and
report continued progress southwest
Of Ft. Douamont.
An interesting situation is develop
ing on the eastern front where the
Germans give signs of initiating an Of
fensive. South of Dvinsk the Teuton
artillery has opened violent fire in
the vicinity Of Vidzy and in Narocz
lake region.
IN the Caucasus campaign the Rus
SLAMS are making continued progress
along the upper Tchoruk in Turkish
Armenia.
London newspaper dispatches carry
reports Of the sinking of the Peninsu-
lar and Oriental line steamer Simla, a
$500 ton vessel, in the Mediterranean.
She is supposed to be in the govern
ment service.
The Spanish ambassador at Berlin
has been instructed by the cabinet to
ask from Germany an explanation of
the sinking of the Spanish steamer
Vigo and definition of the German
submarine policy with regard to the
rights Of neutrals.

MARKSMANSH|P
Of j. s. TROOPS
AWES MEX|CANS
BANDITS AND PEONS AMAZED At
ABILITY OF AMERICANS TO
H.. SHOOT STRAIGHT.

Columbus, N. M, April Z. Proof OF
the craftsmanship OF American sol
diers has done more than any other
development of the campaign in Mex
leo to strike fear into the hearts OF
Villas followers, according to reports
sweeping across the border. The
straight shooting done at Columbus
that of the little detachment that pur
sued the bandits across the line after
the raid and that at Guerrero and
Aguas Calientes, was totally unex
pected by the Mexicans. 1t was utterly
different from shooting they had ex
perienced in engagements between
factional troops in the five years OF
civil strife, close followers Of the sit.
uation assert. ..r...
"Villa's followers had been taught
that the Americans were weakllngs;
towards who were afraid to match
their strength with Mexican forces" a
naturalized Mexican living here said
today. "They believed, in their ignor
ance, implicitly in themselves and
their ability to conquer any force they
should encounter am convinced that
before the Columbus raid their feeling
was that of contempt of larger man
for smaller, weaker antagonist"
The first shock was given the Vii
listas when seventy-nine of their men
were killed by half as many troopers
of the thirteenth cavalry, who made
the sortie across the international line
after the raid. It was at Guerrero that
the contrast between the marksman-
ship of the two forces was demon
strated. There the troopers OF the
seventh cavalry shooting coolly and
steadily sent almost every bullet to It's
mark, while Gen. Hernandez's soldiers
fired wildly as they ran.
A similar demonstration Of marks
manship at Aqua Calientes confirmed
the suspicion already growing In the
minds of the bandits that the ability
of the "gringoes' had been misrepre-
sented to them, according to arrivals
here.
Army men here point out that, al
though important, the moral effect up.

American Workmanship Is a minor
