TO WITHDRAW u. S. FORCE
AT ONCE IF VILLA Is DEAD
Administration officials Make UnquaIi.
fled Statement-Must Have Com
plete Identification.

Washington, April Is. - American
troops will be withdrawn from Mex
leo Immediately il Francisco Villa is
dead. Administration officials made
this unqualified statement, comment
ing IN reports from Mexico -ources
that the bandits body had been dis
covered and was being taken to Chit
huahua City by special train.
Neither the state nor war depart
ment had any c~onfirmatory advices on
the subject from American sources.
Reports reaching FL Paso and other
border points were forwarded for in.
formation, but neither American on
suls nor military authorities in Mex
leo were heard from.
Officials would not discuss what
proof they would deem necessary to
establish the fact that the body men
toned In these reports io that of Villa.
1t is certain, however, that every eff
fort will be made to obtain so com
plete an identification as to make sure
beyond reasonable doubt that the man
who waged war with a few hundred
bandits against the United States and
the de facto government of Mexico sim
ultaneously has paid the penalty.

st. Paul, April 1S.-In seeking the

they will call attention to his past
record. They admit that there is no
burning issue over efficiency and

SHIPS LEGALLY SUNK BY
U-B0ATS, GERMANY SAYS
Rules of War-Believes Sussex
Struck Mine.

Berlin, April IA (by wireless).-The
German reply to the American note
concerning the damaging or sinking
of five steamships contains the state
ment that the steamers Englishman,
Eagle Point, Manchester Engineer and
B~erwindvale were destroyed by Ger
man submarines. Evidence is pre-
scented to show that these vessels were
~torpedoed legally in accordance with
the rules of war.
The note states that a German sub.
marine torpedoed a steamship in the
vicinity of the place at which the chan.
mel steamship Sussex was damaged
by an explosion, but that evidence at
hand indicates that the vessel torpe-
doed by the submarine was not the
Sussex.
Captains Sketch Cited.
The commander of this submarine,
the note says, made a sketch al the
time. This sketch has been compared
with a photograph of the Sussex and
has been found to show dissimilarities
~ puiAb oiiohSCiiCht vi StiChS, etc.
Therefore, 1t is presumed a mine was
responsible for the damaging of the
Sussex. In the way of confederation,
1t is stated that German naval forces
destroyed 26 floating mines on that
day.
Regarding the cases of the English
man, Manchester Engineer, Eagle
Point and Berwindvale, it is stated
they were signaled to halt, but disre-
garded the signals. Thereupon warn
ing shots were fired.
Crews Safety Assured.
The statement is made that the sub
marine commanders assured them
themselves before sinking the ships
that their destruction was justified
and that the crews were safely In
boats, no man being left aboard the
vessels.
