SCANDINAVIA SEEKS
TO AVERT RUPTURE
Sweden and Denmark Would Pre-.
vent Norway TeutOn Break.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Sweden and
Denmark, it is learned, have been ex-
ercising their good offices to prevent a
break between Norway and Germany
over the submarine issue.
1t was stated on excellent diplo-
matte authority that the three Scan
dinavian countries entered into an
agreement at the beginning of the war
which amounts almost to an alliance.
It's practical uses to date, it was said
have been in counselling one another
and in deciding upon a common policy
for Scandinavia.
Norway departed from this common
policy when she promulgated rules
respecting belligerent-owned subma.
rines different from those of other ma
lions and held by Germany to be
friendly to her.

Washington Credits Report
That Villa Has Succumbed
to Rigors of His Flight
By AStocinted PreSs

Washington, April II. - Unofficial
and unconfirmed reports that Villa is
dead reached the Carranza embassy
to-day and were given some degree of
credence by officials there.
The reports were represented as
having come from Queretaro, General
CarranZa's provisional capital.
They were unsubstantiated by the
latest dispatches to the War and State
Departments. The reports of Villas
recent injury, however, and the rigors
of his long and hurried fight in which
he has been variously reported as
being carried on a litter, on the
over the rough Mexican trails, gave
some color to the possibility that the
bandit chieftain may have been un-
able to survive the hardships of the
fight in his disabled condition.
Only 1000 Troops in U. S.
Official estimates of the number of
troops in Mexico and on the border
available for an emergency were given
at the War Departm ent to-day Gen
eral Scott, chief of staff, announced
that 1855 troops now constitute the
border patrol
General Pershing has about 10000
men in Mexico, including those hold

How greatly the mobile army has
been drawn upon for the Mexican
expedition and border service was also
disclosed by General Scott. He esti-
mated that only four thousand troops
remain in the United States, not en-
gagged on the border
