Suffragists Asked to
Forego New Easter Hats

Philadelphia, April Is.-There
will be no more expensive
Easter hats, shoes or other
fnery worn here if the suffra-
gists have their way.
When the Democratic and
Republican national eonven-
tions are held in june, the suf-
fragists are going to be on
hand with two big psrades.
This will take money. Hence
this appeal was.issued to all ad-
voeates of "the cause" today:
do without new Easter
hats, suits or shoes, if neces-
sary, and give the cash TO help
send a delegate from your dis
trict to the parades."

matter so seriously that they

Note TO Follow address.

Note 10 Follow Address.
The Presidents note to Germany. which
is virtually an ultimatum, demanding that
Germany cease her illegal methods OF
submarine warfare. has been held up. Il
will be forwarded after the President has
addressed Congress.
No authoritative statement was forth
coming last night concerning the Presi-
Dents address, and as a result many and
varied reports were in circulation.
There is no doubt that the President st
least intends TO inform Congress today
that his communication to Berlin Ia z. de-
cisive step which leaves the United States
no alternative except to sever diplomatic
relations in case Germany fails to seize
this last chance to modify her I~ethods OF
submarine warfare 10 meet the Pres-
dents implied demands
The only difference of opinion that
existed in Washington last night in regard
10 the Presidents appearance before Con-
Eress was as TO whether he left Germany
any lOophole for further concessions.
The general impression was that he had
left such an opening, but that IL was OF a
character which offered very little hope
and that the President had made up his
mind that a break with Germany was
now hardly TO be avoided.
VIII Outline Program.
The President had promised leaders in
Congress that he would take no decisive
step without informing that body OF his
purpose. The President regards the move
which he is about 20 take as a decisive
step and in appearing before Congress
today he will be fulfilling bis pledge.
1t Was learned last night that the
Presidents address to Congress will be
OF such a character that It Will fore
close any attempt 70 renew a discussion
similar to that which occurred IN Con-
Eress recently over the McLeuore res
olution. The President will not ask for
merely recite facts and outline the &C
ton which he intends to take.
Before the President goes before Con-
gress he will confer with Senator Stone.

tons Committee, and Senator Lodge. or

DOUBT Cast ON Villas Death.
El Paso. Texas, April 1S-Defnite word
was received in FL Paso today by an

was nothing in the way Of word to con-
firm the report that Villa had died at
San Francisco de Borja, or that his body
had been located by officers Of the Car
rama force.
The information is the first to reach
the border, with the exception Of wires
received by the constitutionalist authori-
ties, and though the wording is guarded,
It obviously is intended to discredlt the
report that the body Of Villa has been
found.
The scars, bruises, marks and Pc
cuIiarities of the body that made Pancho
Villa different from other men are be-
ing assembled by the Department of

be the body Of the bandit leader is
