The Mexican embassy gave out tele

GERMAN ANSWER
in SUSSEX CASE
NOT final word
Washington Expected to
Reject Proposal to Arbi-
trate the Issue.

Washington, April 13.-Germany's
reply to the STATE departments in
quiry as to the attack on the Sussex,
will be laid before the president and
the cab net at tomorrow's meeting. 1T
Is probable also that rough outline
OF his governments answer will be
submitted by Secretary of State Lans-
ing.
The German communication reached
the state department today and was
decided and laid before Secretary
Lansing this afternoon. Ambassador
Gerard's confidential advices, received
days ago, had acquainted the state
department fully with the contents
of the German note and therefore this
governments course as previously
mapped out is not likely to be changed.
1t is declared that the note will
take issue over denial of responsible
:ty sor the Sussex disaster.
The belief was expressed that Ger
mans proposal to submit the facts in
The Sussex case to court of arbitra-
ton will be rejected.

side Road and Open Fire as
Troops Pass in Darkness.

Ell Paso, April 13-0ne American
sold er was killed and 20 wounded
yesterday, by Mexican snipers, citi-
zels of Parral
The attack on the American force
was made with arms issued by the
Carranza garrison commander at that
point.
The force attacked was a detach-
men't of the Thirteenth cavalry which
chased Villa across the Durango
border on Monday night. The troops
had been forced to turn back for lack
o. supplies. They had no warning
"f the attack, and were half way
through the town when the firing
hogan.
To protect themselves, they dis
mounted, deployed, and returned the
fire.
The Geographic advices by which
the news of the Eight was conveyed
to the border, tell that not less than
100 NeXicans were killed.
These messages also carried the as
sertion that numbers of Carranza
troops took part in the fighting.
The effect of the news has been to
start hurried preparations to prevent
an immediate attempt to cut the line
of communication between Columbus
and the $4,000 troops now in the field.
The frantic efforts of the Mexican
officials to minimize the importance Of
the affair as regards the casualties
am in
which they cannot cope.
They charge full responsibility for
the attack to the commander of the
American force.
Attack Carefully Planned.
The cavalry detachment was not
only without warning Of the attack.
but to all appearances the town was
deserted when they entered. TIE
troops were following the same route
they had traversed on the. march to
The south last Sunday.
Their plan to return and establish
communication with General PERISH
ing at Satevo IS believed to have been
carried ahead by couriers who had
the command as spies: These
Mexicans reached Parral two hours
ahead of the cavalry column. With
The information they brought. the
'nipers hid themselves along side

Anxiety has been expressed that UNI

fALl'S'STATEMENTs
FALSE, RIDICULOUS
General Funston Scores New Mexico
Senator for Attacking Slocum
and His Troops,

San Antonio. April 13.-In a tele-
gram to the adjutant general today.
General Funston declared that most
OF the statements made by Senator
Fall of New Mexico in recent letter
to Senator Gallinger about the Column
bus raid, were wholly false and RI
diculous.
Sharply criticising Senator Fall for
making an attack on officers and men
of the Thirteenth cavalry when they
were hundreds Of miles down in
Mexico on arduous duty, General
Funston proceeds to defend his men
against the gross injustice"
The general expresses the opinion
that when Colonel Slocum returns.
Senator Fall will have opportunity
to prove his assertions in the courts.
Intelligence officers have taken
steps to learn definitely the move
ments of General Gomez in the So
noraC Chihuahua line. If this Carran-
Vista force becomes a menace to the
line Of communications. American
troops will be concentrated at the
point of danger.

Heavy RAINS IN
VERDUN SECTIl)N
STOP ATTACKS
Infantry Forced to Remain
in Trenches, and Artillery
Hampered.

London, April 13-Torrential rains
sweeping over the blood soaked bat
tlefield and impenetrable boys, which
are seriously hampering artillery op-
eratlons, have brought temporary
lull in the battle of Verdun.
Throughout the day and the night
before, the infantry have remained in
the trenches and only bombardments
which have great intensity in certain
sectors, show that the battle is still
going on.
The French midnight official state
ment says that the heaviest artillery
actions of the day took place in the
Mort Homme-Cumieres sector west of
the Mouse, and around hill No. 3O4,
where the Germans are trying to
blast a way through to the Paris
Verdun railway. On the opposite
bank of the river and through the
stretches of the Woevre only ordinary
lighting occurred
The Berlin communication points
out that the crown princes operations
are being hampered by the unfavora-
Bile weather, but that nevertheless an
active bombardment of the French
front is being carried on

Young people should acquire
the habitof correct speaking and
writing, and abandon as early
as possible any use of slang
words and phrases. The longer
you put this off, the more diff
cult the requirement of correct
language will be; and if the
golden age of youth, the proper
season for the acquisition of Ian
guage, be passed in its abuse,
the unfortunate victim will most
probably be doomed to talk slang
for life. You have merely to use
the language which you
read, instead of the slang you
hear to form a taste in agreement
with the speakers and poets in
the country.

Taking Out the Tonsils.

Often of late medical practi-
toners have demurred at the
business of taking out children's
tonsils, which was almost uni
versally recommended a few
years ago. DR.. Max Talmey, sur
geon to the Harlem Eye, Ear
and Throat Infrmary. has come
out with the assertion that there
may be a relation between the
practice and the present epidemic
of infantile paralysis. In the
New York Medical Journal he
argues that the shock of this op-
Grafton breaks down children's
nerves and predisposes them to
the disease. There els another
danger, due to removing the ton
sils, DR.. Talmey states. That is
the elimination from the system
of a valuable protective sub
stance, the nature of which is
unknown. This substance" he
adds, may either be directly
contained in.the tonsils or else
produced from the blood of other
organs by the mere presence in
the body of the tonsils. The
latter may act in the manner of
ferments, so that even minute
quantities of their tissue suffice
to keep up the valuable protective
substance.

Happy Homes.

A woman may do her level best
to make a happy home for her
husband and children, but if she
is treated as a slave and only
given her board and clothing in
payment for her services as
mother, wife, cook, laundress,
nurse girl, chambermaid and
seamstress, is it any wonder that
little or no happiness exists in
that home If a mother spoils
her son by pampering and wait
ing on him all the years of his
childhood and boyhood, and max
ing him think that a man should
always be waited on by the wom-
an Of his household, is it strange
that he expects a wife to do the
same and that in all likelihood,
she either wears out in a few
years such service, or else be-
comes bitter and disheartened !?
There are very many reasons
why q home may not be found a
happy one and the happiness
found therein depends fully as

other things to make a local item.
If a newspaper should publish
current street gossip, or the hints
and illusions Of the best society
in the community it would be
ostracised and the poor editor
horsewhipped or burned at the
stake. Think a minute of the
mean and low things you say
about your townsmen and your
near neighbor and imagine how
it would look in print. Don't
criticise the newspapers for what
they print, but give them great
credit for what they don't print.
A newspaper that contains one
half the nonsense current among
the best citizens, would be con-
sidered unfit to read. Honest!
