upon American soil today with the
main object of its invasion of Mexico
unaccomplished.
Riding at the head of the American
column, General PerShing, command

the international line at $50 a. m. to-
day. As the front ranks of the line
winding across the desert, set foot
upon the soil of their home land, the
men broke into wild cheering and
shouting. The column, as it covered
the final stretch of the hike to the
border was nearly fifteen miles in
length.

the American flag was dipped in sal
ute. The entire expedition formed in

PREDICT HORRORS
Spanish Deputy FOresees Bar
barities on Foe in Germany.
Serves Notice There Are 100000
Germans in Spain.

Paris, Feb. 5.-Alejandro Lerroux.
Spanish deputy and leader of the Re-
publican party in Barcelona, inter-
viewed here today, declared that
Spain should protest energetcally
against the German submarine cam
paign and make clear her intention
to defend herself if necessary.
Spain possesses said Deputy
I4erroux, the means of making her
self fully respected. She can say ana
will saw to Germany, Halt, you have
here loo, 900 of your compatriots, fifty
of your ships lie helpless in our ports,
and YOU have besides important ma
terial interests in Spain; therefore
avoid all acts likely to affect the lives
and interests of Spaniards-
Should there be a diplomatic rup-
ture between Spain and Germany
hesitate to say that there will be
one thing should be remembered.
Must Have Witness There.
"If the last representative of great
country disappears from Berlin IN
the interests even of the entente. some
one ought to remain in Germany as an
authoritative witness of the violations
of the law of nations and the bar
barities which evidently are going to
be committed. Who can protest
against them in the name of the civil
lied world?. There must be some one
to defend the prisoners and the I'M
happy populations of the invaded ter
ritory and those who have been de-
ported.
Spanish policy. in my opinion,
should dictate a reply protesting ener-
getically against German pretensions
and making clear our intention to de-
fend ourselves. At the same time our
representative at Berlin should remain
there to continue his work of human
ity and justice. That of course could
only last until our national honor was
insulted. However. the world thanks
America today for having won vic
tory for justice, a certain prelude to
the victory of arms for which look"

COLD TOWARD U. S.
South America Slow in Regard
to Peace Union.
No Nation Will Refuse Support,
Says Argentine Paper.

Buenos Aires, Feb 5.-President
Wilson is, most unlikely to receive
much South American support in his
suggestion for joint neutral action
if editorial comment is any standard
by which to judge.
In Argentina, it is necessary to diff
ferentiate between the lower and the
upper class opinion as to Americas
step. It is noticeable that the former
class-the most numerous-is pro-
United States because it is pro-ally,
but the upper class controls the poll
cieS of the nation. And it is coolest
toward the United States.
The same situation exists in other
South American republics.
An editorial in La Nacion today is
typical of the preponderating tone of
South American newspapers. 1t cpl
tomized the statement of Former For
eign Minister Muratore, expressing
hope that the United States will ''be
wise enough to avoid war'-imp1ying
that she can avoid hostilities if she
wishes.
The editorial was likewise typical
in it's intimation that the United
States is responsible for the present
situation, owing to it's alleged attempt
to monopolize the credit and prestige
of peace making.
In pursuance with this attempt, the
United States was charged with de-
feating the consolidation of neutrals
which the A. B. c. nations proposed
early in the war and to the formation
of which the United States at first
pledged its aid. The aid was later
Withdrawn and the project fell thru.
Since that time the United States is
held to have acted alone and on many
occasions in such way as to be di-
rectly opposed to South America s
wishes in the matter.
Will Not JOIN U. S.?
La Nacion's editorial expressed the
belief that the United States was
now alone" That expression was
taken as belief that South America
would not join the United States.
! Disagreeing with La Nacion, the
Buenos Aires Diaro Aeustrado de-
clared today:
Our only hope is that war will not
come to South America, or that there
be resurrection of the corpse of the
peace union. 1t may be said that Ger
many has declared war on the entire
world. We assume the United States
will ask South Americas support, and
we believe no republic will refuse"

MAY AVOID WAR
Government Still Hopes for Settle.
ment of Situation.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Grimly pre-
pairing and with an air of conviction
that the nations course will be shaped
immutably for it as Germany makes
effective her announced measures of
unrestricted sea warfare, the United
States government has begun a tense
vigil that may be broken momentarily
or may be long drawn out.
Despite the severance of diplomatic
relations with Germany President
Wilson believes his long struggles to
preserve the country's peace has not
yet been lost. He still hopes not only
that hostilities will be avoided but
that other neutrals adding their voices
to that of the United States will unite
the major moral force of the world to
compel peace in Europe.

SENATE WAITS ACTION
Stone Moves to Endorse President,
Then Withdraws 1t.

Washington, Feb. 5.-After present.
ing a resolution asking the senate to
endorse the action of President Wilson
in breaking relations with Germany,
Senator Stone, a few moments later
withdrew his motion, when Senator
Lodge moved for a roll call
Stone then asked for action on his
resolution tomorrow.
81 do not object to the resolution
said Lodge, but 1 think a roll call
would be proper"
The Stone resolution follows:
Whereas, the president has for the
reasons stated in his address deliv-
cred to the congress in joint session on
February 8, 1917, severed diplomatic
relations with the imperial German
government by the recall of the Amer
lean ambassador at Berlin and by
handing his passports to the German
ambassador at Washington and where
as that Notwithstanding this sever
ance of diplomatic intercourse, the
president has expressed his desire to
avoid conflict with the imperial Ger
man government, and
Whereas, the president declared in
this said address, that if in his judg-
ment an occasion should arise for
further action in the premises of the
part of the government of the United
States he would submit the matter to
the congress, and the authority of
congress to use such measures as he
might deem necessary for protection
of American seamen and people in
prosecution of their peaceful and legi-
innate errands on the high seas.
Therefore. be it resolved, by the
senate that the senate approves the
action by the president as set forth
in his address delivered before the
joint session of the congress as stated
above"

TURNS LIKE BEAST AT BAY
Japan Version: Germany Must Be
Crushed for Good of World"

Toxic, Feb. 5.-The japanese news
papers, in their editorial comment on
the severance of diplomatic relations
by the United States with Germany,
compare Germany to a wild beast
which has turned savagely against the
whole world. which must unite to
crush her for the good of the world.
Some of the newspapers express the
belief that Germanys aim is to terror
ize neutrals in an endeavor to bring
about a quick peace, which they say
now is imperative to her. They fore
see the entry of the United States into
the war for the sake of honor and

Holland Will Stay OuI

fContinued From Page One.1
err scandinavian countries lean the
other way.
Holland Will Stay Out.
Holland, it is believed by some au-
thorities here, will stay out of the
struggle entirely, owing to the fact
that Germany has made exceptional
concessions to her, doubtless influ-
enced by the presence of 4OO,OOO
Dutch army on her border twenty
miles from the Essen munitions works.
majority of officials hold this be-
lief. but there are others who are not
so sure Holland will be able to keep
out These officials pointed to the
fact that Germany also has large
forces grouped on the Dutch frontiers.
But even these officials say they be-
lieve that If Holland does change her
present status, it would probably be
actually to enter the war and not
merely sever relations, as the presi-
dent calls on neutral nations to do.
Switzerland, being an interior nation,
is not directly affected by the new
German warfare.
Hence the greatest Significance will
be attached to the attitude of the
South American countries as their de-
cision may prove to be an influence
of great weight on Spain and the
scandinavian countries.
South American newspapers and
some South American diplomats here
have indicated that President Wilson
is perhaps now too late in changing
his former course of strictly isolated
action.
Doubt II Germany Will Yield.
Despite the efforts of President
Wilson to change Germany's plans by
moral force, there is a strong belief
that she will not alter. And this view
had strong backing when dispatches
from Berlin showed that close Berlin
observers would be surprised if Ger
many modified her warfare now.
The possibility-even the probable
ity of war-will not deter the presi-
dent, however, from proceeding in his
efforts so long as there is even a thou
sand to one chance of success. On the
other hand, if war is the only answer,
he is ready for it, as he said in noti-
| flying neutrals, he will ask power to
protect Americans in their reights.
Preparations that will make the
nation ready to afford its citizens and
its ships this protection, continued to-
day
The work of affording protection to
government property and especially
government army and navy property
and private and public properties that
would serve the country in case OF
war, is going on rapidly.
