VILLA CLOSE TO , CAPTURE DURING
 PARRAL ATTACK

El Paso. Tex. July 247Only by the merest chance did Francisco Villa es- cape capture when his column was repulsed by de facto troops in its at tack upon Parral two weeks ago, ac- cording to a,eprivate letter received here today from an American in the town where Villa personally directed the bandits that attacked the city.
 The letter said; "He directed the operations from a carriage about a mile behind the lines. In this car riage were two women and man. When the bandits were pushed back by the government troops, they fled past the carriage, stopping only to provide the chieftain with a horse. on which he made his escape. The women fled into. the bush and also escaped. A moment or two later the carriage was seized by. Carranza sol dfers and one of the women was cap tured. <In the carriage were Villas crutches ard several rolls of ban dagest The nurse said Villas wounds necessitated an immediate operation and complete rest for some weeks"

Not only are the officials of the Eastren Forwarding company ma1n- taining close watch on the subma- rine, but agents of the Rllied powers are busy. Off a short distance from where the submarine rocks laztly In the murky Patapsco are a corps of Secret Service agents. It is their duty to keep the Deutschland under close lsurveillan"e day. and night. From their position they can watch every activity around the slip of the subma- rine. There is an agent on watch continually.
 How it was possible for the Deutsch- | land to cross the Atlantic and keep in touch with her home port by wireless without detection also has leaked out. The Deutschland is equipped with new kind of wireless, German in- vention, that is part of the equipment of all German submersibles and war ships HIT operating radius enables her to talk with Helgoland, which is ! in tune with the submersible's appar- atus, So fine can these instruments
 be tuned, that other stations cannot pick up the messages. l Not even the powerful stations at
 Sayville or Tuckerton can tune with
 the submersible except at the will of the commander on the submarine.
 However, the operator on the Deutsch-' land can Iick up all messages sent by other stations and vessels.

.BREMEN'S DELAY
 NOW HOLDING UP UNDERSEA LINER
Agents Here Are Worried Over Failure of Second
 U-Boat to Arrive.

Baltimore, July 24.-White hum dred and one reasons, including one that insurance has not yet been ne- gotiated for $4,0O0,000 in gold said to be aboard, have been gwen by tnuse connected with the big submersible merchant ship Deutschland to account for her delay in starting on her return voyage to the Fatherland, the real cause for holding the undersea craft in leash so long over her expected time for departure is a secret of Paul Hil- ken of the Schumacher Co., and his as- sociates. f
 MT. Hilken, Captain Hinsch of the interned German liner Neckar, and Captain Paul Koenig of the Deutsch- land all betray their anxiety and ten- sion in their countenances and move ments They are worried, it is appar- ent, over the non-arrivaI of the Brem- ien, the Deutschland's sister commer- cial submarine. which, according to tGermans close to, these individuals, should have arrived at an American port a week ago.
 The plan was to have the Bremen make a record-breaking dash into New York or Boston harbor just week after the Deutschland's exploit. The | projectors of the German adventure | figured that if the Bremen found the allies cordon of warships too tight of New Tor she could submerge and dash down the coast and into the Chesa- 1 peake bay. as did the Deutschland.
 Through German sources it is also | learned that it is not the company's l intention for Baltimore to get all "the | glory of the German undersea trade | exploit. It would be considered o1 much greater importance to German. American trade and of deeper chagrir | to the British blockaders could the l Bremen make a sudden appearance ir 1 New York harbor among a bunch o, l British and French steamships. Experiment 8 Costly One. 1 Captain Koenig in a little talk II | German last Friday said signifcantl, that he would see them again in few weeks and intimated that he ex pected to make frequent trips in tn, Deutschland to this port.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May
6.-The submarine issue is
closed, President Wilson's
advisors believed today.

No comment was made from
the White House.
Officials in touch with the sit
uation considered the issue so
completely closed that the presi-
dent will not reply.
Secretary Lansing may issue a
statement calling attention to the
essential point, that Germany has
ordered submarine activities con-
fined to warships.
II is believed the issue will re-
main closed and that Germany
will not reopen ii by resuming
undersea warfare against mer-
chantmen.
Officials saw danger only in the
fact that submarine commanders
may perhaps be difficult to con-
troll.
Following the receipt of the Of
fieial text of the note President
Wilson is formulating a decision.
The conference between the
kaiser and Ambassador Gerard
suddenly doomed large.
II is believed the details of the
submarine issue never had been
seriously discussed. Since the
arrival of the reply it is strongly
believed that peace talk lad a
prominent part in the conference.
Several persons near the presi-
dent believed lie should tenta-
lively approach the belligerents
on the question of possible peace.
