ted States by pursuing an anti-Ameri- can policy. It is even reported to me that some apprehensive souls in Amer ica foresee from victorious Germany an attempt to break down the Mon roe doctrine, and to plant it's flag in South or Central America, or even a design to leap upon the United States and crush them in order to attain mas tery of both continents.
 "I need hardly assure you such re- ports, which from time to time have been set afloat by enemies of Germany in the evident intention of stirring up feeling against her. are too absurd for denial. I need only recall that Ger many has never placed itself in oppo- sition to the American principle of the Monroe doctrine.
 Again, would ask American doubt CTS to remember the attitude of Ger many during the Mexican crisis. Al though extensive German commercial interests were involved and although there was strong demand for inde- pendent action to protect those inter = ests during the protracted era Of dis order, the imperial government at all times stood for leaving the United States a free hand in it's policy toward Mexico. The Washington government was not at any time left in doubt as to the attitude of Germany.
 FEELING STIRRED UP
 "It is unfortunately true that during the war when the thoughts of every German are bound up heart and soul in the struggle for German existence against worldwide coalition ana when the attitude of the Washington government at times has been almost forced, even, we think that there might be some basis for stories of an under standing of some sort between Wash ington and the allies. A strong feeling of resentment and bitterness against the United States has sprung up among the masses in Germany.
 Unfortunately, too, there are fool- ish persons among us who talk darkly and forebodingly of taking revenge upon the United States after the war for that attitude, but no responsible of- ficial takes, or can take such view We shall have quite enough to do al home to safeguard our own position in Europe, healing the wounds Of the war; restore our industrial and busi- ness life at home, and regain and re- build our foreign trade without revers- ing our traditional policy in regard to the American continent and taking on new and powerful enemy across the i Atlantic"

PLAY FOR PERSHING

General Pershing called the musicians over to his camp site, an open log fire blazing, cracker box for chair, and windbreak made of yellow scrub daisies, a mountain flower, the only foliage avail able, thick enough to shut out the sud- den gales for his reception. There was no sign of wind when the orchestra ar ranged itself in semi-circle in front of the general. The campfire smoke rose almost perpendicular and sounds of camp carried for great distances

NO ADDITIONAL NEWS


 Official reports regarding the an- nouncement of the German government as cabled to the United States in press dispatches from Berlin, were lacking tonight The press report was accept ed as being true.
 The news dispatches were laid be- fore President Wilson upon his return from his trip down the Potomac In all quarters it was agreed that the Uni- ted States would be obliged to move deliberately.
 Immediately upon it's arrival the in formation carried by the St. Paul will be placed before President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. Of first importance among the documents expected are af- fidavits known to be taken from Amer jeans and other survivors of the Sus- sex It is expected the statement is made in various of the documents that officers of the ship and possibly other Americans saw the wake of a torpedo. It is also possible that there are in- cluded in the documents affidavits re- garding the finding of the alleged tor pedo fragments.
 Secretary Lansing has allowed it to become known that statements regard ing the finding of the fragments might be accepted by the United States should there be sufficient reliable corrobora- tion. The state department probably will proceed very cautiously in that regard, however
 the finding of the metal fragments aboard the Sussex are understood to have been secured by the American embassies in Paris and London. off, cials are eager to examine their con tents.

prove legally that the Sussex was de- stroyed by a German submarine, will have to proceed further. Additional evil dence in the form of affidavits and statements gathered by the American embassay in Paris is arriving on the steamer St. Paul, due in New York to- morrow. and will be in President Will sons hands Monday, The situation will be thoroughly discussed at Tues days cabinet meeting and soon after ward a decision on the next step is ex- pected.
 The apparent difficulty of proving, the Sussex case alone leads many off cials to believe the decision will hinge on consideration of cumulative evil dence that Germany's promises are be- ing disregarded by her submarine commanders. Upon the strength of that evidence as it finally is judged by the President and the cabinet will depend what step, if any, the United States will take at this time.

any American military outfits. One of the machines stopped 15 miles from
 Mexican village. The aviator, knowing that curious natives would gather to ex- anime the flyer, and thinking of the easiest way to win their friendship on sight, took out several boxes of hard tack for distribution. The present army hardtack is hard in name only, being a very palatable and chunky graham crack CT made without salt. The aviator told the Mexicans the crackers were "Ameri- can bread without salt After few tastes the Mexicans shook their heads to indicate that under the circumstances, hardtack did not appeal to them. These Mexicans then pointed out a mule, de- claring with laughter that it was 'auto mobile Americana"
 ARE VERY SUSPICIOUS
 This aviator had some chocolate among his rations He offered a piece of the dark material to a man on horseback with serape thrown about his shoulders The rider refused. The aviator told him it was chocolate and placed piece in tho hand of Mexican, who seemed to consider it poison, for he threw it into the deep dust of the road. Then the aviator himself took bite of the remain ing chocolate and ate it with relish.
 After watching closely the Mexican gave startled shout, jumped from his horse and grabbed the discarded choeo- late, eating it ravenously, dust and all.
 Everywhere along this front, the minds of the people seem to have been filled with suspicion against Americans. There is evidence that Villa himself not only told the Mexicans that he would return to punish them for having anything to do with Americans, but he also spread false runors through agents all over this section of Chihuahua. In some villages where the Americans had not penetrated the Mexicans seem to expect an lmme- l diate reign of Villa in his full power. 1 However, where the United States sol diers have had time to make themselves known, the fear of Villa seems to be | wearing off.

Play some of the Mexican national airs" said General Pershing. The Mexicans played 'LaGoldorina, " and then some Carmen selections. Wonder was expressed at their musical talent for they were a ragged type of peons dressed in blue jeans, all except the vaquero, who stood at the head of the line more clothesess than all the rest, displaying pair of leather chaps reach inG nearly to his hips with pride. At General Pershing's request one of them sang "Adelita," favorlte Mexican song.
 This concert under the stars on nearly treeless wilderness lasted for an hour TheE the Mexicans climbed into their wagon and drove across the plains.
 Each day has found new uses for the army aeroplanes, which for the first time began flights among the cliffs and crags of the peaks of the Sierra Tarahumares less than a week ago. It has been discov cred that they are excellent pathfnders.
 GUIDES NOT SATISFACTORY
 The native scouts have not been entirely satisfs sctory, and in few instances when scouts could not give clear description of what trails lay beyond a ridge, an aeroplane has gone up, returning with information which in a few minutes was transformed into a good trail and topo- graphical map.
 The planes have demonstrated the skill of the army aviators by daily adven- lures which they have pulled through safely, Two days ago an aviator was caught in a wind which blew off his goggles He finished his ride with an icy wind blowing into his eyes.
 Whenever they are on the ground the aviators keep in mind General Pershing's order to demonstrate the army's friend liness and they have had some startling opportunities in this line, landing among Mexicans who have never before seen

and realizing the impracticability of maintaining the 400-mile line from Co., lumbuS to the extreme front below Sa- tevo, caused General Funston and his staff to consider seriously the estab- lishment of a new base at some point on the border nearer the field of oper- ations perhaps Ojinaga, and from there the establishment of new line or communication to the south. Unofff- cially it was intimated that such a change of base would be suggested to the war department unless perm1s- sion for the use of the railroads was received soon.
 NO UNEASINESS FELT
 Little of what was transpiring south of Chihuahua was known at General Funstons headquarters today, but no uneasiness was displayed and increased confidence was manifested.
 This confidence was not due altogether to the belief that the Americans would be able to overtake Villa, but to the cooper ation of Carranza's 5 forces who were re- ported officially by agents of the Mexican government to have occupied strategic positions in the path Villa was reported to be following. If the thousands of men Carranza claimed to have scattered through the territory in front of Villa can check him in his flight to the Soutn. It was believed here he might be brougt to a stand.
 General Rersing was officially reported to have left his temporary headquarters on the San Geronimo ranch and gone south toward Satevo, south of which the greater part of the Tenth cavalry is op- erating Col w. c. Brown, at the head of those troops, was known to be searching every trail and Investigating each story a S to the whereabouts of Villa or his fol- lowers Supporting forces have been moved forward along the line of communl- cations and in the event of serious en- gagement endorsements could be sent forward quickly. From Columbus to Satevo, General Pershing is known to have maintained a compact military or ganization.
 Officers at General Funstons headquar- ters were interested today. in report from Torreon that conference was to be held tomorrow that might result in the surrender Monday of Gen. Canto Reyes, who has been leading the most formidable band of Villa men in the vicinity of Tor reon. Some apprehension has been felt that Villa might yet succeed in joining forces with Reyes thus making much more difficult his capture.

DEPENDS ON EVIDENCE

The United States was described of ficially tonight as being placed in the position of a judge of a court of law. Upon the evidence a decision will be reached and the United States will be absolutely sure that it stands upon firm ground before rendering one. The final decision will be rendered by President Wilson. It IS likely that it drastic action is called for Congress will be consulted
 While it will be difficult for the Uni ted States to question the good faith of the German government, the United States is ready to act upon circum- stantial evidence of sufficient strength should it be secured.
 All the evidence thus far obtained indicates the Sussex was torpedoed There are two weaknesses in the case of the United States at this time, how ever. One is that no American cit izen saw the wake of torpedo pe- fore the bow of the channel steamer was torn off by an explosion. The oth- CT is that while American naval offl- cers declare that the pieces of metal removed from the hull are parts Of German torpedo. there is so far as IS known no conclusive evidence at this time that the metal fragments actu- ally were removed from the Sussex Every effort is being made to secure evidence which will establish beyond all doubt the origin of the fragments
