CARRANZA ARMY BLOCKS
ADVANCE OF u. S. SOLDIERS.

Mexican Forces Are Moved to Parral
Where Gen. Pershing is Located.
Washington.-Have CarranZa troops
blocked further advance of United
States troops near the Parral region?
That the Carranza Administration will
insist upon Immediate withdrawal of
our troops is indicated. That clash
is within the bounds of reasonable
possibility is conceded.
Reports from Mexico are reaching
the State Department daily. AS far
as known, these tell of increased diff
culties surrounding the expedition. An
instance of this is the report that an
unknown number of Carranza troops
have been moved by their immediate
commander to the Parral region, where
General Persring's most advanced
force now is located.
The observer who reported this add
ed that while the movement, he be-
lieved, was not authorized by the de
facto Government heads, it was in
tended as a hint that the Americans
must not move farther southwark.
Apparently only comparatively small
force was involved.

BRYAN AT WASHINGTON
TO HELP KEEP PEACE

Washington. William Jennings
Bryan, former Secretary of State, has
come to Washington. He said he had
come to render any aid possible to
prevent trouble between the United
States and Germany.
II was on my way to New Orleans
to deliver an address," he said, when
the news reached me that a crisis
in the submarine controversy with
Germany had arisen. I cancelled all
engagements and hurried to Wash
ington, not with any definite plan,
but in the hope, that 1 could be of
some assistance in preserving peace.
"Since my arrival have had several
conferences with prominent Demo
Gratis. I expect to have more con-
ferences within the next two days.
Beyond that time my plans are in
definite.
81 am hoping for two things in
this present grave situation-frst,
that Germany will accede to the po-
sition of the United States; second,
that if she does not, diplomatic rela-
lions will continue with a view to
reaching an amicable settlement of
the trouble.

PARRAL INCIDENT
FAR FROM SETTLED
REPORT THAT MEXICAN OFF,
GALS WARNED GEN, PERISH
ING TO STOP.
Starts Revolution Against De Facto
Government.-DIazM Movement Has
Money Backing.

Washington.-While immediate in
terest naturally centers in the situa-
ton as to the troops in Mexico there
were renewed indications about the
State Department that a wholly differ
ent aspect of the Mexican problem was
causing growing concern. That is the
movement supposedly headed by Felix
Diaz, nephew of the former Mexican
dictator, for a new revolution against
the de facto Government. None of
the information upon which the un-
easiness rests has been disclosed. 1t
is known however, that several Mexl-
cans in the United States are being
closely watched and it is possible that
some of the anti-American feeling in
Chihuahua state which has met the
troops pursuing Villa may be attribut-
ed to this movement.
1t is admitted that official dis
patches had carried as a rumOr the
report that Mexican officers had warn
ed General Pershing not to proceed
south of Parral. It was learned at the
State Department that report to this
effect was transmitted some days be-
fore the Parral incident through con-
sular agents. Mr.. Baker insisted that
the warning had made no change in
the departments orders to the border
forces.
1t was indicated that a reply to
General Carranza's telegram regard
ing the clash at Parral and asserting
that the American Government had
violated his orders and the agreement
with the de facto government in enter
ing the town would be dispatched
soon. War Department officials say
the report on the incident from Gen
eral Pershing, Major Tompkins and
other officers is now complete. 1t has
been withheld from publication be-
cause of the fiat contradiction it con-
tains of the Mexico City adVices from
General Carranza as to the part his
troops played in the fighting. With
this report as basis, the Parral Incl
dent will be treated as a matter en-
tirely separate from the suggestion OF
the de facto government that the
troops be withdrawn.

RUSSIA CLOSES ARTIc
AND WHITE SEA PORTS.
Purely Military Measure For Purpose
of Movement Of Troops.

Purely Military Measure For Purpose
of Movement Of Troops.
Washington.-Russia Embassy dis
patches announcing the closing of
Arctic and White Sea ports offer no
explanation. 1t was said at the En-
bassy that the suspension Of traffic
will be complete except in the case of
vessels carrying government cargoes
and even in that case they can secure
admission to the ports only by special
permit from Petrograd. 1t is assumed
by officials here that the closure Is a
purely military measure incident to
the use of ports for embarkation for
the heavy Russian re1nforcements go
ing forward to France. The necessity
of guarding the troops transports has
obliged the Russian government to
regard as enemy vessels all but gov
ernment-owned or chartered ships, and
to reduce to minimum the danger
of destroying neutral vessels the ports
have been closed.

INVASION OF IRELAND
BY GERMANY is FAILURE.
Daring Attempt to Land Arms on Ire

Daring Attempt to Land Arms on Ire
land to Resist Against England.
London.-A daring attempt by a
German auxiliary to land arms in
Ireland for the purpose Of resistance
against England has resulted in the
sinking of the vessel and the capture
of Sir Roger Easement, leader of
the Separatist faction in Ireland.
The occurrence is without parallel
In the annals of Erin's Isle and will
send a shock of concern throughout
Great Britain. Though the members
of the Seapratist faction had hailed
the present war as golden OppOr-
tunity for Islend to strike for freedom
from it's allegiance to England, the
actual attempt will take rank as
one of the most sensational develop
ments of the titanic struggle.
It was during the period between
the afternoon of April 20 and the af-
ternoon of April Fl, says the official
announcement, that the attempt to land
arms and ammunition in Ireland was
made by a vessel under the guise of a
neutra, merchant ship, but in reality a
German auxiliary, in conjunction with
a German submarine.

AFTER HARMONIOUS WORK

Majority Leader Kitchen is Striving

Majority Leader Kitchen is Striving
to Reach Working Agreement.
Neutrality-suspicious. Democrats and
Republicans, after having worked to-
gether tremendously for four and
half months, are on the verge of a
clash over the legislative program for
the remainder Of the session.
The majority, because Of carrying
out the wishes of the house in push
ing through the Philippine and ship
ping bills as quickly as possible, is
threatening to invoke drastic rules
which will insure the measures right
of way. The minority while making
no threats are conducting what ap-
pears to be a mild filibuster on the
agricultural appropriation bill and
urging consideration of the fortifica
lions or appropriation measures in
lieu of the Presidents special meas
ures.
Minority Leader Mann says he is
willing to come to an agreement with
the Democrats but that "the White
House can't tell us what we must do"
and he is waiting for the Democrats
to make the next move. In the mean
time the Democrats are having many
conferences in Majority Leader Kitch-
ms office in an endeavor to reach a
working agreement while on the floor
such problems as poisoning coyotes,
fighting the hessian fly and preserving
the buffalo are being discussed at
Tenth.

hington.-President Wilson told
Congress, assembled in joint session
shortly after 1 o'clock, he had given
Germany final irrevocable notifica-
ton that the United States will break
off diplomatic relations if her illegal
submarine campaign IS continued.
A note, Americas last word, prac-
t1cally an ultimatunl, and demanding
an immediate reply, presumably was
in the Berlin foreign office as the
President was speaking.
1t was declared in accordance with
the Presidents plan to have it before
the German government at the same
moment he was addressing the Ameri-
