DeciSiUely Beaten
GERMAN CHANCELLOR REVIEWS
EVENTS OF THE WAR BE
FORE REICHSTAG.

BERLIN, April 5.-Chancellor
Hollweg made the most comprehen-
hive speech of the war before a
crowded reichstag today, reviewing
the military and political situations
and the means Of conducting further
warfare. He declared 1t was doubly
necessary to guarantee Europe's peace
after the war so the Belgian, Lithu-
anians, Poles and Flemish would
have chance for free evolution,
speaking their mother tongue and de-
veloping their natural individuality.
Since / last addressed you, the
enemies enterprise at the Dardanelles
has failed. With our Bulgarian and
Austrian allies we have brought the
Serbian campaign to victorious end.
Montenegro and Albania likewise are

the besieged forces at Kue-el-Amara.
The Russians have occupied Erzerum
with strong forces but strong Turk
ish armies checked futher advances,
Russian attacks in eastern Galicia
and the italian attack on the Isonzo
front have been beaten back Rus
san columns broke down before Won
Hindenburg. Our victories at Yer
dun prove that the enemy's reports
that Germanys military power was
exhausted are erroneous. Our oper-
ations there were prepared with pro-
found foresight and the bravery OF

LONDON, April 5.-Smashing on
the land and sea and in the air with
unparalleled fierceness the Germans
today evidently are attempting to
eounteract the effect Of the allied war
council at Paris. Four Zeppelin raids
on England within four days, torpe-
doings averaging four daily, terrific
hammerlng at Verdun and torpedo
boat battle in the North sea are evil
dences OF a supreme effort Berlin
emphasizes the fact that Zeppelin
raids mean the beginning OF a more
active warfare against England
AT the first indication OF a weaken
ing OF the German assaults on Ver-
dun, the allies grand attacks probably
will begin. 4 AAes
South Of Douaumont the Germans
were repulsed and driven back to the
second lines. The German charges
we're smothered In sheets OF mitrail-
leuse fire. The next heavy attacks
are expected northwest OF Verdun.
Today's communique claimed fur
ther French gains south Of Douau-
mont and in the Cailette woods. A
squadron Of French aeroplanes she'll
ed railway stations at Mantillos and
Damvilliers.
Air raiders dropped "A shells on
Mantillos and five at Danylll'ers
Fifteen sky battles were fought ar
ound Verdun and two German aers-
planes destroyed. With the exception
OF the French gains at Douapmont
and the intense bombardment at
Moulainvllle and Chatlllon, the YER
dun activity was unimportant. The
Germans attacked Lorrain but were
repuIsed. Berlin admitted the loss
OF fortified hill northeast Of Hau-
mont but claimed that the French
attacks at Cailette wood were de-
pulsed.

SAN ANTONIO. April 5.-Funston
admitted that villa had escaped south
and probably was heading for Par
raj, Only a few companies are avail
able for his pursuit there. Head
quarters exhibited pronounced pessi-
mism today. Funston said contin-
uance Of the chase further south
ward necessitated stronger forces
Colonel Brown had not reported to-
day concerning the clash with Willis
tas on saturday Pershing said 80
bandits were killed but no Americans.
Funston blamed false information
which villa sympathizers gave pur-
suers. for Villas escape. He said the
necessity II protecting the lines OF
communication rendered it impossible
to send considerable force further
south. Pershing reported from Guer-
zero last night, giving a meager ac-
count of Browns clash with the BAN
dts.
Trenches have been dug at some
points along the American communi"
cation lines as a protection against
small bands of outlaws.
Information from Juarez this NOR
ming said that Villa had been located
with a few followers between Cam
argo and Parrel He must be within
five miles of Santa Rosila. Juarez Of
ficials insisted that Herrera was hot
ly pursuing him.
More arrests were expected today
at Juarez in connection with plot to
seize Juarez while soldiers were lis
tening to a, concert. Followers Of Di-
az. Villa and OrozcO are suspected.
Mayor Pristo ordered that the three
who confessed be executed despite
the protest of Consul Garcia.
Knowledge of this plot caused the
recent Carranza mob lization near the
border and alarmed Americans. Ring
leaders Of the scheme enlisted as

were so constantly grouped that they
were ready to strike at the opportune
moment. Fifty suspects have been

Mr.. COlOuitt's Mistake.

So far as the record shows. Mr.. Col
quit is still Of the belief that the Will
son administration is the worst failure
in the history Of the presidency. That
estimate was expressed originally dur
ing the Joyous hours Of l9l4's Yuletide
and it has stood unamended during the
eighteen months that have elapsed
Some parts Of that interview have suf-
fered modification. Mr.. Colquitt affects
TO believe, for example, that the presi-
dent has amended his ways as 10 Mex
leo. n dclusion which proves. if anything
that Mr.. ColPuitt lacks the penctrativc
power to discern that the president has
never deviated from his purpose to- aid
the MeXicanS in all ways permissible in
setting up a free gOvcrnment.-Galves-
