GERMAN DENIAL
DOES NOT END
SUSSEX CRISIS

WASHINGTON, April 11.-For more
than two hours the president and cabi-
net discussed the submarine situation
today. The question Of what action
this government can take in the face
of the German denial of responsibility
for the attack of on the channel steam
er Sussex was thoroughly canvassed.
Although the text Of the German note
was not at hand the outline of it as
indicated in the messages sent by Am
bassador Gerard and communicated to
Secretary Lansing by County Won
Bernstorff yesterday was thoroughly
discussed. 1t was agreed that there
had been little improvement in the
general situation but until all the facts
now enroute to this country is in
possession of the president and the
state department no action will be
taken, officials said.

RUMORS CLAIM
VILLA KILLED

QUERETARO, Mex, April 11-Ru-
mors, as yet unconfirmed, reached
the Mexican war office here today that
Francisco Villa was killed in the last
fight with Carranzistas near the town
of Cienegjilla. Villas men, according
to the rumor, were carrying his body
as they continued their flight to the
south.
War Minister Obrigon at once wired
the commanding officer at Chihuahua
asking for confirmation Of the report
or denial, but up to the time of send

above dispatch, which is based on a
rumor current in Queretaro. 1t is

by making inquiries concerning when

may get some satisfaction from the fact
that while we are waiting, there are

There is not, and never has been,
p any doubt as to the loyalty of the
members of the National Guard of the
different states, but the present situa-
tion in Mexico has served to illustrate
the inadequacy of the system. OF the
troops selected for service on the bor-
der, large number were disqualified
for various causes, mostly for being
physically for active service and a
large number of those who were sent
to Texas and Mexico were not able to
stand the gruelling of hard march on
short rations. Then, too, the arrnge-
ments made for their conveyance to
the scene of operations was woefully
inefficient, no provision being made in
many cases to supply food, thus caus-
ing many to desert and many others to
faint for want of food. The equipment
of our soldiers has been another dis
grace to the nation. Our men were
sent to the border with old fashioned
machine guns, calculated to do as
much damage to the operator as to the
enemy, and were clothed in wool to
march and fight in temperature that
averages about 100 in the shade. And
all of this was done at a frightfully
heavy cost to the state and nation.
Until our military laws are thoroughly
revised and competent men placed in
charge of the military affairs of the
country we can hardly hope for a bet
torment of conditions, and we will be
paying heavily to maintain body of
men who may present good appear
ance on a Sunday parade but who are
of no use as fighting unit that can be
placed in the fieled at short notice.
