US, TROOPS INVADE
MEXICO IN PURSUIT
OF VILLA BANDITS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-It is reported that
a small body of American troops, under the leader
ship of Lieutenant Mort, PTiton and Waldron in
vaded Mexico yesterday crossing the international
line near Progresso Texas. The detachment is in
furious pursuit of party of Villa bandits who cap
tured two u. S. soldiers. The invasion of Mexican
territory, even when accomplished without sane
ton of the Washington government may lead to
crisis at once
Secretary Lansing today characterized the deed
as an ''hoStile act" 'The fact that the American
troops were following bandits who had previously
from the seriousness of the case, was the gist of
the Lansing statement. He also indicated that the
1ieutenants in charge of the party would be tried
by court martial Immediately. Washington Off
Gals are seriously thinking of notifying the CaTran
"a government that the United States will not con-
done the actin of its troops and will punish the Off
GERS responsible.

POWER
YACHT, CAPTIvA,
IS HARD AGROUND
MAGNIFICENT VESSEL is HARD
AND FAST ON GIIBERT'S BAR
WITH LITTLE HOPE OF GET
TING oFF-oWNER ABOARD.

Harry Payne Whitney's beautiful
new 150-foot yacht, Captiva, the larg
est private power yacht afloat, is hard
and fast aground on Gilbert's bar at
the entrance to the st. Lucie river,
with practically no hope of getting off.
She is lying easily on the sand in
about a foot of water at low tide,
but her hull is settling steadily She
draws in the neighborhood of five
feet. All attempts of the crew to
kedge her from the bank with the
winch and anchors have failed and a
steam tug, even if one were near,
could hardly reach her with a line
because of the numberless shoals.
Her position is an exposed one and
the first heavy blow is bound to dam
age her to a great extent. 1t is under
stood that she carries no movable bal
possible to tighten her unless engines
and cabin fittings are removed.
At late hour today no informa
tion as to the names of the cruising
party could be secured, but it is safe
to say that Mr.. Whitney, himself, is
aboard, as she flies no absent flag.

GERMANY NOW BUILDING
THIRD MERCHANT U-BOAT
Will Take Place of the Bremen
Deutschland Not to Carry Reg
ular Mails on Next Trip.

Another great transatlantic mer.
chant submarine, to take the place Of
the Bremen. sister ship Of the Deutsch-
land. which was lost, with all hands,
on her maiden voyage to tire United
States, now is being built in Germany.
Definite information regarding the
new vessel is lacking. The submarine.
it is said here. will be purely mercan-
tile in character. her arrangement
being similar to that of the Deutsch-
land. 1t is not known when the YES
sci will be ready for her first trip to
the United States.
The Deutschland. il is learned, will
not carry any regular mails from tho
United States to Germany on the COM
ing trip. Negotiations for a trans
atlantic submarine mail service have
been carried on between the German
embassy and the Post Office Depart
ment.
The operating company has not yet
fully agreed to the service, because
it is felt that the submarine service,
being in the nature of an extraor-
binary one, should command a higher
rate, just as the United States post
office charges a higher rate for special
delivery.

British Papers Uphold
Grey's Reply to the U. S.
and Defend Blacklist

LONDON November 1.-THE morn
ing papers generally give no particular
prominence to Viscount Grey's reply to
the American blacklist note. The Daily
Telegraph, however, comments editor
tally on the reply and says of the
American note:
I'VE wonder whether a more striking
example could be found of manner in
which interest and suspicion can cause
reasonable persons to be blind to a
plain consideration of principle and
right.
"The blacklist is based on a clear
principle of national sovereignty. No
fair-minded American can dispute the
justice~of this assertion. But the Amer
leans have not regarded the situation
from this standpoint. Their eyes have
been fixed on the principle that neu-
trails have the right to trade with any
and all the belligerents. and they have
not perceived that this right must
necessarily be modified if beligerent
exercises his undoubted right to forbid
his own nationals to trade with neutral
firms.
LAS to the American suspicion that
the blacklist conceals a design to for
ward British trade interests at the ex
pense of neutral commerce, we trust
Grated remuneration of any such design
may quiet the suspicion.
The reply is an expression of this
country's intention to stand firmly
upon rights which have always been
recoguiZed'
