HOUSE VOTES
ON RIVER and
HARB0R BILL
p a S S e S Appropriation
Measure by 210 to 1873
Republican Leader Mann's At
tempt to Secure Reduction to
S20,OOO,00O Is Defeated

Washington, April IL. - The annual
river and harbor appropriation bill car
rying s4O,O0o00O passed the House to-
day by vote OIL 20 to 1873, with every
changed. Scores of amendments to cut
down items urged by representatives
who charged that the bill was a pork
barrel measure were rejected during
the two weeks debate. Just before the
final vote an effort led by Republican
Leader Mann to reduce the total to
s20,0o0,O00 failed, 200 to 149.
The entire appropriation except for a
100000 item to deepen the approaches
to the Brooklyn navy yard, is for con-
tinuing work on improvement projects
already authorized and under way. The
single new project was urged by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Daniels as
part Of the preparedness program. The
bill now goes to the Senate where last
years measure was killed by filfbus-
ter, and a lump appropriation of $780,
OOO, 900 substitute to be apportioned
among existing projects by the secre-
tary Of war. Among the larger appro-
priations are:

Expect Definite News

The message stated that the report
that Villa was dead was current
throughout southern Chihuahua and
northern Durango and while 1t was
far from confirmed it was expected
that definite news would be received
within the next few days.
There are only two possibilities which
are accepted here as true in the pres
ent situation Either Villa is dead
and his pursuit is automatically end
ed, or he is far to the south in Central
Durango. If the latter is. true, army
officers say that the entire plan of
campaign of Gen. Pershing must be
reorganized or abandoned altogether.
One officer who has had an active part
in the direction Of the plans Of the ex-
peditionary force, summed up the sit
uation in this way:
IF Villa is dead there Is no more to
be said except to issue an order for
our soldiers to come back to the Unit
ed States as speedily as possible. II
he is not dead there is very little rea-
son to doubt that he Is by this time
we'll into the state of Durango. It Is
simply ridiculous to suppose that our
troops can continue to go south indefi-
nitely with no railroads back Of them
They will either have to halt or ar
range for the dispatch of another ex-
petition from a southern point on the
border which will enable them to cut
in behind Villa. l am not a prophet,
but the most casual observer should
see that the existing conditions are
impossible of continuance"
Bertani Believes Report
The report of Villas death was ac-
cepted as highly probable by Gen. Ber-
TAM, the Carranza commander at
Casas Grandes who now is in Juarez.
There is only one doctor in the coun-
try where Villa now is, said Bertani.

Tentative Agreement

A general outline of the future
course of the American government is
understood to have been agreed upon,
although a final decision was post
poned pending receiptso the German
note regarding the Sussex and other
merchant ships which recently have
met disaster and additional evidence
in the same cases collected by Ameri-
can diplomats and due here Thurs
day.
1t is known through confidential ad
vices from Ambassador Gerard that
the note from Berlin will deny that
any German submarine torpedoed the
Sussex and disclaim blame in connec-
ton with other attacks about which
the amha ssador has inquired. Conse-
quently in spite of the convincing evil
dence in the hands Of the State de-
partment any reply that may be sent
probably will not deal exclusively with
any one case or group of cases.
If such communication as now is
contemplated is sent to Germany, it
will be designed to preclude the pos
sibility Of further drawn out diplomatic
reiterated assurances and promises that
international law will be respected
cannot protect the friendly relations
between the two countries if illegal at
tacks upon peaceful merchantmen car
rying Americans are continued. 1t prob :
ably will include a resume Of all the
many vessels attacked from the time
of the Lusitania down to the present.
The State department has already
begun the collection of evidence COW
ering the whole history of Germany's
submarine operations.
One of the questions discussed at
length by cabinet members today was
whether the United States should IN
clude in it's list of vessels attacked
neutral ships carrying no Americans.
An argument against doing this was
that such vessels carry the flags OF
sovereign nations able to speak for
