REBEL LEADER SLAIN
General Zapata Falls in Battle
With Mexican Cavalry.
Strongest and Most Successful Of All
Bandit Chiefs Is Killed in Sur
prise Attack.

Mexico City, April Pit is officially
announced that Gen. Emiliana Zapata,
the strongest and most successful of
all bandit chiefs in Mexico, has been
killed.
General Pablo Gonzales, who re-
stored order in the state of Morelos-
Zopata's stronghold few months
ago, reported to President Carranza
that Zapata had been shot by Col,
Jesus Gualfardo. The latter's cavalry
surprised the bandit and his follow.
ers, killing many and scattering the
others.
Zapata's body was taken to Con.
zales' headquarters, where it was fully
identified.
For years Zapata was virtual dicta'
tor of Morelos, which is within a
days march of Mexico City. At one
time he actually invaded the capital
escaping with a quantity of booty.
Advices from Morelos say the death
of Zapata was brought about by STRAIT
egg. Zapata with his followers had
been hiding in an inaccessible noun
tain region since the government
| troops had pacifed the state of More
los, which had been the stronghold O.
Zapata since he began his revolt IL
1909.
At the height of his power severa
years ago, General Zapata figured a:
the possible head of the Mexican gov
eminent.

Company of American Infantry
Mutinies When Ordered to
Russian Front.
STATEMENT IS ISSUED
War Department at Washington Con-
firms Recent Press Dispatches Re-
ceived From Correspondents
at ArchangeI.

Washington, April 12.-The War de-
partment issued all official statement
confirming advices from Archangel
that what amounted to a mutiny &C.
CURED among the American troops
there March 80.
A company of infantry, the message
stated, refused to entrain for the front
until personally urged to do so by
Col. George b. Stewart, commanding
the American contingent. Open
threats were made of general mutiny
unless a definite statement from Wash
ington, insuring early withdrawal was
forthcoming.
The text of the paraphrase OF the
code message, dated March 81 follows,
the department having eliminated the
Identification of the company and GER
tain military information not bearing
on the incident.
Men Refused to Pack.
yesterday morning, March 80, a
company of infantry, having received
orders to railroad front, was ordered
out of barracks for the purpose of
packing sleds for the trip across the
river to the railroad station.
The noncommissioned officer who
was in charge of the packing soon
reported to the officers that the men
refused to obey. Officers then took
charge and all except n man began
reluctantly to pack after considerable
delay. The one soldier was placed
in confinement. Colonel Stewart had
the men assembled to talk with them.
Upon the condition that the
prisoner above mentioned was. released
the men agreed to go. This was done
and the company then proceeded to
the railway station and entrained for
the front. That they would not go to
the front line positions was openly
stated by the men,, however, and they
would only go to Obozerskaya. They
also stated that general mutiny would
soon come if there was not some
definite statement forthcoming from
Washington with regard to the re-
moval of American troops from Russia
at the earliest possible date"
Withdrawal Is Ordered.
Inc department mas caDled Tor more
information. From the message re-
ceived officials were unable to ascer-
tain whether a condition Of mutiny
had in fact developed in the past ten
days. No comment was Forthcoming
as to the course to be pursued.
Presumably, it was said, Colonel
Stewart had been advised directly
that it was the purpose of the Supreme
War council to withdraw the entire
force from Northern Russia when ice
blockading the harbors goes out.

Present Foe Government More Stable
Than Appears on Surface, Says
Dispatch From Berlin-Can
Maintain Order by Force.

Berlin, April IA special dis
patch from Bamberg to the Vos-
sische Zeitung says the German
government has announced that
the Entente powers have informed
1t Bavaria is not to be included in
the conclusion of peace and that
measures will be taken to prevent
any Entente foodstuffs from reach
ing Bavaria.
Berlin, April 14.-The present Ger
man government is much more stable
than appears on the surface. 1t can
throw half a million we'll trained and
equipped troops into the field, if nee
essary, and is in a position to main
tain order by force.
But the government is not averse to
the occurrence of strikes and other
truubles-until peace is made. Then we
probably shall see the Germans bring
ing order out of chaos, like an Ameri-
can business man wading into the

MARSHALL WOULD TEACH
BOLSHEVIK AGITATORS

Washington. Feb. 7.--Vice President
Marshall, speaking tonight before the
National Press club, denounced boil

what he termed a new creed for Amer

president said
II believe that the American republic
as instituted by the fathers constitutes
the finest system of government ever
ordained among men and affords the
machinery for the righting of grievances
without resort to violence, tumult and
disorder.
II believe that every inequality which
exists in the social and economic con-
dition Of the American people is trace
able to the successful demands Of in
