The former emperor is not short of
money, as he possessed consider

his followers transferred further large

But William is troubled as to the fate

the empire. The revenues OF these
properties are Tor the present at ledSL

which hitherto has paid from their
proceeds all Herr Hohenzollern's bills,

These accounts have been quite for

consumes, as well as for his accommo-

besides paying the wages of the gar
Geners and domestics of the Bentinck
estate who render him services while
wood cutting or in the household.
The expenses of the Dutch guard of
gendarmes on duty around the castle
also fall on the Hohenzollern purse.

Ell Paso, Tex. - Uneasiness for
American citizens in northern Mexi-
co is felt here. Because of the ex-
pedition by United States troops into
Mexico TO disperse Villas forces at
tacking Juarez, it is feared Villa and
his men will attempt rep-isals upon
Americans persons and property in
the north Of Mexico. Mormon Off
cials here and in Juarez are mucn
concerned over reports that Villa
was heading toward Casas Grandes,

colony OF Colonia Dublan, where
many Mormon families live.
Several American mining COM
panies have ordered their American
employees TO leave for the border as
soon as possible. The American

once. Other companies have ordered
their men to concentrate in the larg-
er towns and cities and to abandon
outlying properties until Villas at
titude toward Americans is known.
Two thousand Yaqui Indians have
been sent to Parral by Gen. Manuel
Dieguez to reinforce that town, which
was captured by Villas forces Easter
morning. Following this informa-

decided to have their men remain in
Parral for the present.
Reports were brought from Juarez

LABOR DELEGATES PASS REso-
LUTON ATTACKING POST
MASTER GENERAL.

Atlantic City. n. Radical ana
conservative delegates attending the
reconstruction convention of the
American Federation Of Labor clash
ed at the meeting. The contest.
which arose over resolution propos-
ing inauguration Of a policy OF initia-

OF organized labor, was marked by a
display Of bitter feeling, which re-
suited in the radical element being
crushingly defeated.
A vote on whether there shall be a
roll cali on the resolution disclosed
there were only 35 delegates out of
about 500 favoring the measure This
was interpreted as representing even
more than the maximum ratio of
radicals within organized labor.
The clash developed after all the
delegates-radicals as well as con-
servatives-had adopted unanimous
ly a resolution assailing Postmaster
General Burleson for his labor poll
cy' and calling on President Wilson
to remove him. During the consider
alton Of the resolution, which was
among the great number disposed OF,
the postmaster general was severely
criticised by delegates and termed
administrative misft."
As soon as the initiative and ref
erendum resolution was reported,
James Duncan of Seattle declared
the measure was for the benefit Of
the rank and file of workers" He
accused the Resolutions Committee,
which recommended noncurrence
into the measure. OF being unprogre--
sive and holding the belief the rank

LondOn.-The German officers and
sailors. forming the compliments Of
the German ships interped at Scapa
Flow, sank most of their feet. All
the big ships, the battleships and bat
tie cruisers, excepting the Baden and
many Smaller craft, were sunk while
others went ashore in a half-sunken

beached by tugs: four are still afioat
while the remainder went under.
The wholesale sinking of the Ger
man ships, which were surrendered
under the terms OF the armistice,
was carefully arranged by officers
and crews. All explosives had been
removed and therefore the only
means of destroying the feet was by
opening the seacocks. The ships
went down slowly with the German
flag. which the crews had hoisted,
