MEXICAN SITUATION
 NOT CHANGED TODAY
Lansing Says It Remains the
 Same in Every Aspect
TROOPS STILL AFTER VILLA
State Department Prepared to SeC Ill Motion Machinery for Discussion Of Differences Between U. s. and Car

Motion Machinery for D1SCuSSIOn oA
 Differences Between U. s. and Car
 ranZa.
 Washington, April 15.-Secretary Lansing pronounced the, Mexican sit uation unchanged today in any aspect.
 Unless official reports to General Funston disclose a more serious sit uation at Parral than is now believed to exist, there was nothing to indicate that a change might be expected in the near future.
 As time passes without official in formation of the Parral fighting from American sources, officials are in clined to doubt that the clash was as serious as described in early Mexican advices.
 Some army officers thought it prob able that when a report was received it would show the detachment had passed in or around Parral since the disorder and was proceeding about it's business of pursuing Villa, headed for it's original destination beyond the town.
 Carranza Publishes "Terns.''
 
 terms the Carranza government seeks to impose, limiting any reciprocal troop movements across the interna- tional boundary, shed much light on the diplomatic tangle which preceded General Carranza's suggestion that the American troops be recalled from Mexico
 Secretary Lansing declined to dis H. facto government suggested that no expeditionary force should exceed 1000 cavalrymen and not cross a dead line, there were several thousand Auction troops of all arms in Mexico and they were 200 miles. or more south of the border.
 State departm ent officials today were prepared to set in motion diplo- mattc machinery for discussion with General Carranza of his proposal for the withdrawal of the American troops from Mexico. While the nego- tiations are under way the hunt for Francisco Villa will continue.
 Secretary Lansing has given no in- dication as to when reply to the Carranza not proposing the with drawal of the troops might be sent. Meanwhile report from the com mander of the American cavalry at tackled by Mexican natives at ParraI is anxiously awaited.
 Carranzistas Aid Civilians.
 The Carranza version is that his troops did everything to stop the fir ing upon the Americans. Unofficial l advices, however, assert that Carranza Soldiers participated in the attack.
 Apparently the immediate with drawal of the American forces in Mexico is not contemplated. It is understood that the success of the de facto government in demonstrating it's intention of ability to hunt down Villa and his bandits, in event the American expedition is recalled, would have great weight with Presi- dent Wilson in reaching a decision re- garding the matter.
 President Wilson had before him today several long messages from Gen. eral Funston, They were presented to him by Secretary of War Baker at a, conference last night.

 GUARDS DISMISSED
Alleged to Have Planned His Libera- tiOn-Eng1and Wants Him EX-
 tradicted For Forgery.

New York, April 15.-Two keepers guarding Ignatius T. T. Lincoln, the Self-confessed German spy, in the Raymond Street jail, Brooklyn, have been dismissed for alleged complicity in plans made by Lincoln to make another escape, it was announced to- day. Lincoln escaped from jail some time ago and was recaptured. He boasted that he would escape again.
 The two keepers dismissed are Thomas D. Danbeck, and Michael G. Keating, who were tried on charges based on confession made by Lincoln of his dealings with the keepers in formulating his plans.
 Lincoln's plans, which he disclosed to the prison authorities provided for the escape of two other prisoners be- sides himself.
 Commissioner Lewis said that Lin coln's latest plan was the sixth lie had made while in prison.
 To the leader of the men who were to secure his liberty Lincoln prom ised ''an easy job where you can clean up at least $4,00O.'

Washington, April 15.-Counsel for the British consul general at New York today filed with the Supreme Court brief setting forth reasons for demanding the extradition of Ignatius T. T. Lincoln from the United States to England on a charge of forgery.
 Lincoln contends the British gov ernment seeks his extradition to try him for a political offense.
 Counsel for the consul general pointed out in his brief that in the treaty between the United States and Great Britain is a provision that no one surrendered by either country shall be tried or punished for any po- Htical crime or offense. He urged the court would not presume Great Britain would violate the treaty by trying Lincoln for any political offense.

The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-10-10

Almost two years ago, the Star said
that the virtual blockade of the Amer
lean coast by British and English
cruisers was humiliating thing, and
something our government should not
submit to. And it says now that such
things as the attacks of German sub
marines on unarmed merchant ships
and passenger liners in American
waters should not be submitted to. 1t
il according to international law, OF
course, that there may be hold-ups
and attacks in four miles Of our coast,
but it is monstrous injustice, and
America is big and strong enough,
and owes it to her own people to set
it aside. The spectacle of a bunch Of
American warships held idle while
virtual piracy is perpetrated under
their guns is very humiliating to a
man who wants to see his country re-
spected.

Mr.. Walter Ray of Martel was visit
ing his Ocala friends Monday, and
looking ever more hale and hearty
and cheerful than usual. Mr. Ray is
one of our captains of industry, and
always stays with his men on the fir
ing line. He has done much to relieve
the hard times caused by the war by
|resuming the operations of his big
sawmill, and keeping it going in spite
of the rather adverse conditions of the
lumber business. The Ocala and
Southwestern railroad, of which Mr..
Ray is the presiding genius, and which
at its beginning was only log road,
but which is now well built and
equipped line, is bound, in our opinion,
at near date, to aid materially in
the development of this entire section,
and give our city another important
connection with the southwest portion
of the state. In addition to his big
lumber business and.railroad, Mr.. Ray
lis a progressive agriculturist. His
large farm at Martel is not only self
sustaining, but is an experiment sta
ton of the most practical sort, Mr..
Ray never missing an opportunity to
see what can be done in improving
crops and stock. Mr.. Ray is deeply
concerned in the prosperity of Ocala,
where he has large interests. He owns
a quarter Of the square just south Of
the postofice, and when the war is
lover and business picks up, it is be-
lieved by some Of his friends that he
will erect upon it four-story Office
building of the most modern design
The Star has been for years Mr.. Rays
favorite paper, and when he puts uT
his new building we confidently ex-
pect that he will offer the Star space
in it at greatly reduced rates, in order
that his personal friend, the editor
who is growing older and more feeble
every day, won't have to walk so fan
for his mail

There has been a great deal OF crit
icism Of the American punitive expe-
dition into Mexico, many insisting
that it did not start until so long after
the Columbus raid that it was hope
less chase. Despite the worse than
European censorship maintained by
our war department, the facts are
leaking out that the expedition came
very near catching Villa and would
have done SO had not the administra-
ton yielded to Carranza's demands
and checked the pursuit as soon as the
affair at Parral took place. After this
fight, the American cavalry was with
drawn from the vicinity where Villa
might have been caught. Later came
the affair at Carrizal, since which
time Pershing's men have been vir-
tually tied to their camps and lines of
communication. Mexicans with some
reason regard both these affairs as
victories Our army is amply able
to make the Mexcans behave them
selves, but the irresolute and change
able policy Of President Wilson gives
no hope Of speedy settlement of the
trouble.
