WASHINGTON. March 16.-An im- penetrable wall of secrecy surrounded tonight the movements of American troops beyond the Mexican border. So far as official Washington was advised the columns might have vanished into thin air after they crossed the inter- national border yesterday in pursuit of Villa. Even the commander in chief. President Wilson, did not know where General Pershing's men were
 Secretary Baker received virtually no reports from General Funston dealing with events beyond the border. Late today he said he did not know whether the troops had proceeded southward from their first advance on Mexican soil last night.

 SALT LAKE CITY, March l6.-The jack of spades, the death warning of the "K. o. D." mysterious organiza- tion which has been threatening the life of Governor William Spry, has been received at the office of Governor Spry. The governor is in New York. When his secretary, John K. Hardy, opened an envelope addressed to the governor, the jack of spades fell out.
 Six months ago, Governor Spry re- ceived among the thousands of letters of the execution of Joseph Hillstrom, the I. ". W. leader, several of which were signed ID. o. D." In each of these letters this statement was made:
 When you receive the jack of spades you will know that your time has come. sYour death. will follow"
 Following the execution of Hil.strom, the threatening letters ceased coming to the governor until about two weeks ago. when he began to receive num- Der of particularly vicious letters from all parts of the United States. Follow ing these came the jack of spades. The envelope containing this dire card was mailed in Salt Lake.
 In the governors mail have come from Chicago 9 number of postcards containing a picture of the body of Hillstrom, showing the wounds made by the Utah firing squad when it exc cuted Hillstrom. These postcards beaI the inscription: Murdered by the au- i thorities of Utah. We never forget The governors office is informed that thousands Of these postcards have been mailed from Chicago to all parts of the country.

Net until February 25, when the presidents note to Senator Stone ap- peared. was any real step taken to protect Americans in their rights, and that step which the president then took in words boldly and clearly, but in words alone, came only because his own party in the house were clamoring for the public surrender of American rights in order to concili- ate one belligerent and it's voters. The democratir party showed itself to be worse than it's own administration. There is. it would seem. a point of humiliation at which the president steps, definitely. I trust. firmly, i hope.

 We are told the great cry of the democratic party is to he that their president has kept peace. The virtue of keeping of the peace depends alto gether on how it is kept You can always keep the peace if you will submit to any wrong, to any outrage, to any oppression The peace of this country would have been far better kept. we should be in far less danger of war today or of war when peace cores among the warning nations of Europe, if we had kept it without

 The Tubantia left Amsterdam We'd nesday for the river Plate and was to have stopped at Falmouth for additional passengers and freight. Early this morning wireless distress calls from the steamer were received at the Hook of Holland and torpedo boats and other craft rushed to her assistance. Some of these boats reached the steamer be- fore she sank and took off passengers and members of the crew, while others picked up survivors from the ships boats in which they had taken refuge after the explosion.
 The first flashes from the liner said she had been torpedoed and was in a sinking condition near the Noord Him der lightship. Later messages credited the disaster to the vessel coming in contact with mine.
 Among the American passengers said to have been on board the Tubantia was Richard Schilling. described as an American consul, and his wife and daughter.

nent, the one for which our people are more deeply grateful than any other, is that the president has kept us out of war and in a condition of profound peace while all the world beside seems torn with war or internal violence.

When Kawata's wife rushed in, Harashima stepped into an adjoin- ing room where he committed suicide. About year ago Harashima was badly beaten in an altercation with another Japanese and spent considerable per iod in the hospital.
