"a parsonage particularly we'll in

is easily recognizable as Colonel Won
Haefton of the general staff in charge
OF the military department of the for

that there is no prospect of a German

The spring thaw that is now set

an offensive of any chance of success.
Even If the Germans succeeded in TAX

impossible for them to move artillery
and supplies forward for an advance

The Politiken continues:
1.-THE statements of the German gem

ent tendencies, are another example of
the German determination to quiet
Russian apprehension in every pos
sible way. The belief is cherished that
the Russians if left to themselves will
inevitably continue to quarrel over in
ternal affairs, whereas, the menace Of
a strong German offensive would weld
all Russian parties together in defense

The Berlin Tageblatt says that labor
difficulties have broken out in tile big
Vulcan shipbuilding works at Ham
burg. The workmen demand a one
third increase in their wages. The
Vulcan works are where most of Ger
many's great ocean liners have been
built.
Labor difficulties and strikes have
been reported from various sections
of Germany in the last few months.
Trouble Of a serious nature in Ham
burg was reported from various
sources following the Russian revolu-
ton. These reports were substanti-
ated by statements Of Socialist depu-
ties in the reichstag referring to the
"deplorable events in Hamburg and
Bremen"
A strike occurred in February in the
Krupp works at Essen in the heart Of
Germany's munition and artillery in
dustry. More recently strikes have
been reported among the munition
workers at Dusseldorf and among the
coal miners at Penzburg. These strikes
were said to have been caused by
the food shortage which was also
credited with being responsible for
serious riots in Berlin and other big
German cities.

In SlIPPlX SCANDAL

London, April 4-The Austrian min
listers of justice, war and finance have
resigned after the revelation of a
grave scandal connected with army
supplies, according to a dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph company
from The Hague. Three ministers as
sisted DR.. Franz, formerly director
of the Vienna deposit bank, to escape
the consequences of having illegally
sold foodstuffs to the army at exorbi-
tant prices.
At the trial of DR.. Franz documents
were produced which convinced the
judge that the ministers had forged a
paper which was used in the bankers
behalf. They were summoned as wit
nesses and admitted their guilt, later
resigning.

president Wilson's message is not
surprising" says the Tageblatt, but
do the people of the United States
have the same view? That is hard to
say.
German policy now pays the pen
atty for failure to conclude a treaty
with the United States, such as
Great Britain and other great powers
made. If such an agreement existed
the United States would be compelled
to submit even the most important
question to a commission for inves-

Such an investigation would take at
least a year."

A regiment of cavalry com

United States government from
New Mexico.
The offer will be made by
Attorney Francis G. Wilson Of
this city, formerly for five
years United States attorney
for the Pueblo Indians, who
has already conferred with
some of the head men among
the Pueblos, and who is conf
dent that such a regiment can
be raised. However, before a
formal communication is sent
to Washington, a conference
of all Pueblo governors will be
called at some central point,
and each governor will be ask
ed to pledge a certain number
OF men. Preliminary steps for
such a conference already have
been taken by Mr.. Wilson, in
conjunction with P. r.. Loner-
gan, Of Albuquerque, superin-
tendent of the Pueblo Indian
day schools.
1t is estimated that there are 5000
Pueblo Indians-men, women and
children-in the nine Pueblo settle.
ments in New Mexico.
Frank Paisano, governor or the La
6uhd PuOuio, WHO was IN santa fe
yesterday and who called on Mr.. Will
son, stated that Laguna would supply
at least two troops for the proposed
cavalry regiment, and announced that
the Pueblos appreciated what the gov
eminent had done for them, and we're
anxious to aid in the present crisis.
Similar sentiments have been ex-
pressed to Mr.. Wilson by other promi-
nent men of the Indian tribe.
1t is Mr.. Wilson's idea to raise a
regiment of 1000 men, divided into ~
troops. The Indians are we'll sup
piled with horses, and at the start
would furnish their own mounts.
MANY of the younger men among
the Pueblos have been educated at
the government schools" said Mr..
Wilson today, "and consequently
have some knowledge of military
training and discipline. They are
hardy, all are splendid horsemen, and
if necessary they could subsist on
very limited rations. They would con-
stitute an ideal cavalry force"

known to a majority of the Pueblos

OUGHT TO FIND SOME OTHER WAY,
BRIGHT IDEA OF SEN. VARDAMAN
Gronna and Stone Back Up La Toilette in Stubborn
Opposition to Will of Majority and Evident
Temper of American People; Other Senators,
For Sake of Unity of People, Will Vote For
Resolution; Wall Street and Papers Blamed
(By Leased Wire to New Mexican)

WASHINGTON, d. G., April AFTER debate on the
administration war resolution in the senate had proceeded two
hours, Democratic leaders expressed the belief a vote would
be reached early this evening and that only an unusually long
speech by Senator La Toilette would postpone action beyond
that time.
The senate's resolution was adopted by the house foreign
affairs committee as a substitute for it's own and favorably re
ported for passage with only two members Of the committee
voting against it. They were Representative Shackelfora
Democrat, Of Missouri, and Representative Cooper, Repubn-
can, of Wisconsin.
In the senate, patriotic speeches of support for the presi-
dent and a determination to press the war with all vigor were
made by Democrats and Republicans, with pledges of non-par-
tisan consideration of all war questions. Senator Hitchcock,
in charge Of the resolution for the president in place of Sena+
tor Stone, who would not support it, declared that as much as
he wished and had worked to avoid war, he would not vote
the resolution.
Senator Lodge, ranking Republican Of the foreign rela-
tons committee, pledgng the support of the Republicans to
the president, called on the government to seize all German
ships in American waters to replace those destroyed by sub
marines and in passionate terms called on the government not
to conduct a 'half war;
Senator Vardaman, Democrat, of Mississippi, was the
to announce he would vote against the war resolution.
Senator Gronna, of North Dakota, another Of the 'little
group of wilful men, announced he would vote against the
resolution.
Senator Kirby, Democrat, of Arkansas, who opposed the
armed neutrality bill, today announced that he would vote for
he war resolution, "that it may appear that we are to-
yether, = and because a vote against it, he felt, would be futile.
Senator Stone announced his opposition, but, like Varda-
pledged his support to the war when it is begun.
Announcement was made by Senator Kenyon Of Iowa,
Who opposed the armed neutrality bill and was among the
swlful men, mentioned by the president, that he would vote
or the administration war resolution, if for no other reason
han for national unity.
