bama's representation in congress prob
ably will not De changed as a result
OF yesterdays Democratic primaries. al
though with less than oIre-third of the
votes counted. it is impossible to give
anything approaching a definite result
Not one of the wards of any of the
cities had completed a count and it
was said the larger boxes would not be
returned before Wednesday night. A
long ballot and second choice voting,
employed for the first time in the state,
accounted for the delay.
Former Representative Hobson was
running slightly behind William &.
Bankhead for representative from the
new Tenth district on the face of scat
tering returns.
Ray Rushton, of Montgomery; former
United States Senator White, of Biz
mingham; Judge n. d. benson and A.
H. Carmichael, of Tuscumbia, speaker
of the house in the last Legislature,
were leading for delegates at large to
the national convention, though the vote
from rural districts may completely
change the situation. The other candi-
dates were Horace Hood, OF Montgom-
cry; J. J. Willett, of Mobile, and r E.
Spraggins, of Montgomery. The prohi-
bition question figured largely in the

Endorsed by both sides, while Mr.. Rush

by Senator Underwood, appears to have
won over Borden Burr, also of Birming-
ham, for Democratic national commit
teeman.
Sam P. Kennedy, president of the

lead for denomination over H. p. Mer-
rift and ]. A. CarEley.
Judge John G. Anderson was renom-

court over James A. Mitchell.
Five of the present representatives
in congress had opposition, namely
Dent, in the Second; Blackmon, in the
Fourth; Burnett, in the Seventh; Al
mon, in the Eighth, and Huddleston
in the Ninth. All were leading by sub
stantial majorities and it appeared that
the nominations of Dent and Huddle-
ston were assured and the others very
probable.
Returns on the contest for state game

tees of the supreme court and mem
bers of the court of appeals were too
scant to warrant a forecast of the

PerShing'S Forces Ordered

Ell PASO, Tex, May 10.-General
Pershing has been ordered to begin a

Those detachments still operating as
far south as San Antonio, it was re-
ported, will be withdrawn to Colonia

No answer had been received early to-
day from Washington to General
Scott's message reporting General Obre-
CONS proposal for a joint patrol of the
international boundary.
General Funston said he had no idea
when he would return to his headquar-
tiers at San Antonio. This was taken
to indicate that today's conference may
not be the last.
From JuareZ came reports that Cen
eral Obregon and his advisers were opti-
mistic regarding the outcome. 1t is not
expected that A. ]. McQuatters, the min
ing man, who withdrew from last
nights meeting, will take further part.
General Scott explained that in view
OF the attitude OF General Obregon he
had not thought 1T proper to insist on
Mr. McQuatters' attendance.

LONDON, May 1O-A dispatch from
the British eyewitness" with the
Mesopotamia forces gives a description
of General Townshend's holding out
against the Turks at Kut-el-Amara
while on the verge of starvation. the
men subsisted during the last fort
night on four ounces of flour daily and
a ration of horsefiesh One of General
Townshend's last wireless dispatches
before he capitulated said:
"Have destroyed the guns and am de-
stroying the munitions. Officers have
gone to Kahlil Bey to say that we are
ready to surrender. We must have
some food and officers have gone to
bring some from the Turks"
The last message sent by General
Townshend said
1--WE have hoisted the white flag. A
Turkish regiment is approaching.
On January "a the British discovered
new stores hidden in the houses, mostly
underground. They were sufficient for
nearly three months on a gradually re-
duced scale. These were Communicated
and paid for. One of the chief difficult
ties was the fact that the civil popula-
tion remained in Kut-el-Amara. The
few who tried to leave were shot by
the Turks, who made it clear that they
would execute any person who tried to
escape. Thus the garrison was bur
dened with 5000 additional mouths to
feed.

Two companies Of the Twenty-tirst in
fantry left FL Paso today to guard the

Pacific
General Scott said today's conference
would be held regardless Of whether q
reply was received to the plan OF the
Mexican minister Of war.
Increasing confidence in the ability OF
Generals scott and Obregon to effect an
agreement as to the stateus of the
American punitive expedition in Mex
leo. was evident on both sides of
the Rio Grande today, notwith-
standing the situation was not
materially altered by the conferees
in their three hours talk last night.
The optimism appeared based largely
upon the admission that another confer
ence would be held, perhaps today, ana
that General Obregon and his military
advisers maintained attitudes of hope
fulness.
The net result of the conferences al
ready held is that the Mexican repre-
sentatives yet insist upon placing the
question Of withdrawal of General Per-
shing's forces ahead of the question OF
corporation. General Scott was ex-
pected to receive from the war depart
ment a communication on which a re-
play could be delivered to General Obre-
gons counter proposal for a joint patrol
of the border by the troops Of each
country on it's own side of the line. With
this agreed to, General Obregon believ-
ed that cooperation in the running
down of bandits that raided across the
line might be more effective.
Whether the conference Will take
place before late today was unknown
either at General Obregon's headquar-
ters or at General SCOTS. Because of
the new phases suggested by General
Obregon it was believed probable that
he would consult with Carranza and
that delays in communicating with the
Mexican capital might make the holding
of the conference before tomorrow i'm
possible.
The ordering into the border country
of more regular troops and militia APP
peared not to worry General Obregan
and those military men with him, nor
did Juan N. Amador, sub-secretary OF
foreign affairs, appear perturbed. They
assumed that the increasing of the
forces along the border to an army OF
almost $4,000 to be solely for the pro-
| lection of towns on the American side
and laughed at suggestions that any
thing more serious might be contem-
plated.
Major Langhorne, commanding two
troops of the Eighth cavalry, was near
! ing the international boundary line early
| today and it is understood that he is
prepared to cross into Mexico If he sees
any chance of running down any of the
| bandits implicated in the raid of Glenn
| Springs and Boquillas. Colonel F. w
Sibley, who will be in general command
will arrive on the border some time Ia
ter with two more troops and the dispo-
sition of the little force will depend upon
| circumstances and conditions. He has
authority to cross into Mexico If he
deems il expedient.

WASHINGTON, May 10--Germans
new note acknowledging responsibility
Tor destruction OF the Sussex, promising
reparation and announcing punishment
OF the submarine commander was re-

The note expresses sincere regret re-
garding the deplorable incident" and de-
clares Germany's readiness 10 pay an
adequate indemnity TO injured American
citizens 1t says the German govern
ment "disapproves Of the conduct or the
commander, who has been appropriately

United States will consider the case set

II Is revealed in the text OF the note
which vas made public late today by the
state department that the German gov

that the commander Of the submarine
acted IN the bona fide belief that he
was facing an enemy warship. The
first part of the note is devoted 10

Virtually Last of Regular
Troops Now Being Modified
Including Companies of
Coast Artillery
tBy Associated Press.A


WASHINGTON. May 1O.-Virtualy
the last American troops In the United
States were being modified today for
Mexican border service. With the ma
tional guard of three states, they were
under orders to hasten to reinforce Cen
eral Funston's army. The total of be-
tween 5000 and 10000 included eleven
companies of coast artillery ordered out
last night by Secretary Baker.
The proposed military agreement be-
tween the Carranza and American gov
ernments remained unsigned and Gem
eral Obregon, Mexican war minister,
after a three hours discussion with
General Scott last night, arranged for
still another conference today.
If the situation warrants, national
guards of other states will be called out
for border patrol duty, officials de-
clared. Secretary Baker stated, how
ever, that no further mobilization or

General Scott has advised Secretary
Baker that no formal counter proposals
have been submitted by General OBJ

submit a paper containing his views to-
day. General Scott did not advise the
department what counter proposals were
under consideration.
Secretary Baker today received an Of

Unofficial reports were received that
Mexicans along the entire border hao
planned for today a concerted uprising.
From MazatIan, on the west coast OF
Mexico. came word that the consul
there had been warned by anonymous
letters that the consulate would he
blown up. All Americans were urged to
leave Mexico within 4S hours. These
reports increased anxiety over the sit

In addition to the 1000 United States
soldiers and an equal number of militia
men from Texas, New Mexico and Ari-
iona, ordered to the border yesterday,
Secretary Baker announced about 1000

posts, had been ordered to San Antonio

The secretary also said five batteries
of the Fifth Field artillery had been
ordered from Fort Sill, Okla. Three
additional batteries of the Third Field
artillery were held in readiness at To-
byhanna, Pa, under orders today.
Unofficial estimates placed the num-
Der of troops now on Mexican duty or
under mobilization at about $4,000.

Wilson's Note Praised
By French NEWSPAPERS
By Associated Press. J

by Associated Press.)
PARIS. May 10.-Great prominence
is given by the newspapers of Paris
this morning to the latest American
note to Germany. The American note
is spoken of as a master piece of diplo-
macy.
With conciseness, firmness and clari-
ty. which is in strong contrast to the
pathOs with which Wilhelmstrasse an
nOunced its backdown, President Wilson
maintains the position he took UP in
the preceding note" writes Stephen
Pichon, former foreign minister in the
Petit Journal
The Matin says the American note
places Germany in a cruel dilemma, her
suggestions having been rejected but
her promises registered so that they
will have to be kept. 1t continues:
1T must be clear to all neutrals that
Germany has suffered an unprecedented
diplomatic defeat. Ii will be interest
ing to see how the German government
explains TO the public that it has con-
scented radically TO modify submarine
warfare without obtaining the slightest
compensation in exchange"
One of the most important points to
be noted in regard to the American re-
My in the opinion of the Petit Parisien
! is that IL ignores the allusion In the
German note TO the chancellor's two
declarations in the reichstag in regard
tn peace negotiations. This paper says:
eff Emperor William desired TO catch
President Wilson in trap the emperor
is caught in his own tolls. He has met
his master. There remains nothing for
him to do except either TO accept the
American note at the risk Of loosing
the fury of the German governmental
parties or TO take upon himself the initi-
alive in bringing about rupture which
would entail serious consequences Tor
Germany.
