KAISER AND 7|RP|Tz BREAK
GERMAN MINISTER OF MARINE TO

Admiral Won Capelle, Director of Al.
ministration Department of Ad-

Berlin, via London, March 16.-A
change in the head of the ministry Of
marine is now an accomplished fact.
1t is officially stated that in order to
avoid misunderstanding and wrong
conclusions it must be noted that this
change does not signify any modifica-
ton in the submarine policy of tho
German government.
London, March ia dispatch to

hagen says the Wolff Bureau, the
German semi-official news agency, an.
nounces that Admiral Alfred Won
Tirpltz, German minister of the navy,
has retired and that Admiral Won
Capelle, director of the administration
department of the admiralty has been
appointed his successor.
Berne, March Is via London, March
16)-The Stuggart Tageblatt says that
Admiral Won Tirpitz probably will re-

expressed desire for more activity
by the German feet at this particular
period.

%F VILLA IS TAKEN ALIvE'
Bandit Leader Probably viii Ba
Turned Over to De Faeto Govern
ment for Prompt Execution.

Washington, March 16.-While ap.
parently there has been no formal dis.
cussion Of what shall be done with
Villa, If he is captured, it is regarded
as probable that if taken alive, the
bandit leade: will be turned over to
the de facto government for prompt
execution.
That would avoid embarrassing
questions which might arise if the
United States undertook to arrange
for his extradition to Texas for trial
on the charge Of murder.
Army officers think, however, it is
altogether unlikely that Villa will per.
nit himself to be made prisoner.
Knowing the certain fate awaiting
him, he is expected to fight as long
a. there is breath in his body.
