Fighting The Coyote
Epidemic In Nevada

With the news from Senator Pitt
man received by DR.. Mack December
81, that the force employed in fight
ing coyotes would be increased to
fifty men, the war against rabies
should become even more effective
than it has been. 1t has been going
forward well since Sans and the pres
ent force went into the field. In ad-
dition to the federal fighters there is
a small army of civil fighters, so to
call them, in Elko and Humboldt
counties and these are doing their
best against the pest. 1t is reported
from EIko and from Winnemucca
that coyote scalp bounties are in de-
mand.
The spread of the epidemic Of ra-
bies to other States will of course in
duce them to do what Nevada has
been compelled to do with the aid of
the federal authorities. No one
realized the extent of the evil until
it had already gained a hold and al
ready the losses in cattle and sheep
have been quite heavy because we
did not act in time. But Nevada is
acting now, all right. and the federal
government is hard at work. too, so
that by next Spring there should be
little danger of further damage to
focks and herds or danger to human
beings.-Reno Gazette.

Us. TO PROBE LINER
PERSIA ARMAMENT
Action of Administration as to
the Death of Americans Rests
on Matter of Guns the
'u Boat Carried

Washington. January 5.-The ad-
ministration is puzzled as to its
course in the Persia case because OF
the fact that the liner was armed.
This was learned on reliable authori-
ty tonight. ai
The State Department has lett it be
known that the Navy Department
has been asked for expert opinion on
just what uses the Persia's arma-
ment could be put TO- -eean, ~ 81,
In additionlto this, it was learned
that the State Department has or
dered Consul General Arnold at Alex
andria to obtain sworn statements
from the British officers of the Per-
STA as to the vessels armament.
President Wilson held a long con-
ference with Secretary of State Lam
sing to-day on the Persia. After
ward it was officially stated at the
State Department that the mind of
the Department is open on all ques-
tons involved"
Officials reiterated that this Gov
eminent will mark time until a re-
ply is received from Ambassador
Penfeld at Vienna to the query as to
the nationality of the submarine that
sank the Persia. 1t is now thought
that this reply will not be received
before tomorrow night or possibly
early Friday. In that event it Is
said the President probably will take
up the Ease with his cabinet at the
regular meeting on Friday.
Experts of the Navy Department
said tonight that if the Persia car
ried a 4.7-inch gun a reported, she
could have sunk a submarine any,
where within approximately eleven
miles. They declared that even a l.
inch gun would be sufficient for sink
ing a submarine q bmile and a half
away. These experts also declared
that the fact that the gun was mount
ed aft necessarily would not keep
it from 10 being used extensively.
They said that the liner could be
turned quickly enough to permit of
the guns use in any direction.
In discussing the State Depart
ment's action in sending for state
ments of the British officers of the
Persia about the guns on the liner,
an official said:
The evidence of the British officers
will be extremely important. We
expect that Austria will reply in
part that the Persia was armed in a
manner contrary to international
law. In that event it will become
necessary for us to take up the arma-
ment of the Persia with Great Brit
ain. In that way Great Britain will
become involved in the case before a
decision is reached. San Francisco

London Tells of German
Move for Peace Through
Washington.
SAFE CONDUCT
NOT YET ASKED
RumOr He Will Succeed Bern
stOrff Lacks Confirmation
in Capital.

London, May 2I. Prince Bernhard
Won Buelow, ex-German Imperial Chan
cellor, is to proceed almost immediate
ly to Washington on special dlplo-
matte mission from Emperor William
to President Wilson, according to re-
ports current in diplomatic circles
here. II is reported that he will sue
coed Count Won Bernstorff as Ambassn
dor in Washington or present peace
overtures.
No request has been made by the
German government for safe conduct
for Prince Won Bulow either through
the American Embassy here or through
the German Embassy and state Depart
ment in Washington. There is little
Likelihood that the former Chancellor
would attempt any voyage without iirsV
obtaining this permission. Should he
sail without a safe conduct the British
would arrest him as servant of the
Kaiser.
Until recently Prince Won Buelow
has been living in Switzerland, where
he conducted a big propaganda bureau
TO influence neutral opinion. After the
outbreak of war Won Buelow was sent
as Ambassador to Rome, where he
worked desperately to keep Italy out of
the war. The fact that Italy declared
war against Austria and not against
Germany is credited to him as a partial
victory.

legitimate expectations have found the
sincerest sympathy and will have the
most eficacious aid. was assured
that the Allies are united in their
determination that Serbia must be
restored.
"While waiting for the deliverance
our poor population in Serbia has suf-
fered terribly from the cruel regime
under which il now lives. IL is Mace
donia that is suffering the most from
Bulgarian terrorism, and IL is precisely
Macedonia that the Bulgars claim is
exclusively Bulgarianl
1.-THE fate of our civil population is
what worries US most, and We are try
ing all the time 10 find some way 20
stop this determination of our already
almost half exterminated race"
The prince spoke with deep emotion
of the efforts of the Americans to aid
the suffering Serb civilians. He
praised especially the work of DR..
Edward Ryan, who is now in Belgrade.

Berlin, May 24.-The capture by
Thuringian troops Of the village OF
Cumieres. east of Dead Man Hill, on
the Verdun front, was announced by
the War Office to-day. The village was
taken by storm. So far more than 300
prisoners, including eight officers, have
been taken by the Germans in this
operation.

Funston Asks More Men;
War Department Refuses

San Antonio, Tex, May 24.-General
Frederick Funston's request for more
coast artillery, il is understood here,
has been refused by the War Depart
ment. The additional units of the reg
ular army and the militia of three
border states have enabled him TO
strengthen materially the patrols along
the long border, but even with that
points, it is said, and 1t was to protect
them that he asked for more companies
of coast artillery.
Reports from General Pershing to-
day indicated no sharp developments,
but reports from him and from other
sources reflected activity among Mexl-
can troops. In strong numbers the
Mexicans were reported moving 10 sta
tions nearer the frontier, but there
was nothing to indicate that the motive
was other than to establish over North
ern Mexico an effective police force.
A truck train was prepared at Column
bus tonight to leave for the south
carving men TO disinter the bodies OF
American soldiers killed in clashes
with the Mexican bandits and bring
them back to American soil.
While no accurate list of the Amer
lean troopers buried in Mexico was
available here, military authorities be,
lieved that the total would not exceed
ten. The train leaving tomorrow Will
90 TO the field base near Namiquipa for
instructions and then proceed south
under escort to the temporary resting
places of the soldiers.

President of Sim Fein
Volunteers Convicted by
Court Martial.
TRIED TO CHECK
REVOLT, is REPORT
J. J. Kilgallon, of Far Rockaway,
Caught Bearing Arms, Say
British Authorities.

London, May 24.-John MacNeiE.
president of the Sim Fein Volunteers.
has been found guilty by court mar
tial Of completely in the Irish rebellion.
His sentence will be announced within
a day or two.
There have been conflicting rumors
as to MacNeill's part in the rebellion.
One was that at the last moment nc
advised against the uprising, asserting
that defeat was inevitable. His advice
being dsregarded, according to thi,
report, he issued a general warning 10
Sim Feiners against participation in
the revolt, and with some of his imme-
date adherents took no part in the
actual rebellion.
John Dillon, in the House Of Com
mons on May II, said MacNeills &C.
ton broke the back of the rebellion.
MacNeill besides being president OF
the Sim Fein Volunteers was professor
Of law in the National University and
was the organizer and vice-president
OF the Gaelic League.
The British authorities say that
John J. Kilgallon, seventeen years old
of Far Rockaway, n. Y. a student at
St. Enda's College, Dublin, was caught
with others in the act Of bearing arms
during the revolt. He is now a pris-
oner at Stafford, England.
The first known of Kilgallon's case
was on May 10, when his parents at
Far Rockaway made inquiries. Since
then the American Embassy has been

PERSHING'S TROOPS
SLOWLY WITHDRAW
Movement of Mexican Forces to
Border Creating No Alarm
in the Capital.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, May 24.-Reports re-
ceived at the State and War depart
ments to-day confirm the belief of Ad-
ministration officials that the settle
ment Of the difficulties with Mexico is
progressing.
General Funston reported that he
saw no cause for alarm in the move
ments OF Mexican troops in Northern
Chihuahua. On General Pershing's left
front General Trevino continues to col
lect his forces with the apparent pur-
pose of pursuing bandits. Civilians in
the town of MADEIRA, near the Hearst
Babicora Ranch, are reported in state
Of agitation, but General Funston has
no confirmation of the report that Car
rama soldiers are responsible.
Special Agent Rodgers, at Queretaro,
reported 10 the State Department that
a new note from the Carranza govern
ment would arrive here early next
week. The fact that it is coming by
special messenger is accepted as an
indication that it makes no summary
demands.
Recent reports from Mr.. Rodgers
have indicated a growing friendlines'
toward the United States and have led
the State Department TO hope that the
new communication would suggest 6
resumption of negotiations for a proto-
col covering the operations of the
American expeditionary force.
The march of the Pershing column
toward the border is believed to be pro
ceeding in orderly manner. The troop
withdrawn from the expedition will be
used 10 police the border, cooperating
with the 10000 troops sent TO the boun
dairy by the Carranza government. This
manpuvre is expected TO minimize the
danger of further raids and thus fore
stall new complications.
Administration officials believe there
is no cause for alarm in the unexpect
eddy large number of Mexican troops
ordered north. They point out that the
tendency of the situation from now or
is to improve. and believe that Car
rama would not be so foolish as to re
sort TO display of force that might
compel intervention.

Request for Mediation
Seen in Visit by BuelOW

IIrom Tie tribune bureau.
Washington, May "a. The revival Of
the rumor that Prince Won Buelow ~ 10
come to this country on special diplo-
matte mission. with the possibility that
he may supplant Ambassador Won
Bernstorff. was received with the great
est interest in official circles here to-
day. Neither at the State Department
nor at the German Embassy, however,
had any official confirmation OF the re-
port been received.
Count Won Bernstorff has had no In
timation that he is 10 be replaced,
while the State Department has neither
been asked concerning the acceptabillty
of the prince as an envoy nor requested
20 obtain a safe conduct for nm.
Without safe conduct obtained
through this government Prince Won
Buelow would be unable to come here.
1t is believed possible, however, that
the German government is considering
sending the former Chancellor here
with somewhat the same status as
Colonel House enjoyed on his recent
trip to Europe. Ambassador Won Bern
storff has had very imperfect means OF
communication with his government
since the war broke out and has been
out of touch with the German Foreign
Office as far as personal or confidential
matters are concerned.
1t has been impossible for the am
bassador TO obtain exact information
as TO his governments attitude IN the
matter of seeking American mediation.
II Prince Won Buelow came here he
would presumably bring instructions
for the ambassador which might lead
to more or less formal requests TO
President Wilson for mediation.
