Berlin Admits Submarine
Attacked Steamer Sussex
(By Associated Pre**.)
AMSTERDAM. May 10.—(Via Don
don.)—A semi-official dispatch from
Berlin says that as the result of the
German government's investigation con
cerning the explosion which damaged
the steamship Sussex it can no longer
be doubted that the vessel torpedoed
by a German submarine on the supposi
tion that it was a warship was in fact
the Sussex
. The dispatch says the German gov
ernment has acquainted he United
States government with this fact, add
ing that in accordance with the note
of last month Germany will draw its
conclusions from the evidence which
now is probably adduced.
(8* Associated Preu.)
WASHINGTON, May 10.—German’s
new note acknowledging responsibility
for destruction of the Sussex, promising
reparation and announcing punishment
of the submarine commander was re
ceived late today at the state depart
ment from Ambassador Gerard.
The note expresses "sincere regret re
garding the deplorable incident,” and de
clares Germany’s readiness to pay an
adequate indemnity to Injured American
citUer.s It says tne Lierman govern
ment “disapproves of the conduct of the
commander, who has been appropriately
punished, " and voices a hope that the
United States will consider the case set
tled.
It is revealed in the text of the note
which was made public late today by the
state department that the German gov
ernment considers “it beyond doubt
that the commander of the submarine
acted in the bona fide belief that he
was facing an enemy’ warship." The
first part of the note is devoted to
statements along this line. The German
government admits however, that the
ootnmanier was mislead by the appear
ance of the vessel, formed his judgment
too hurriedly, did not art in accordance
with strict Instructions ».o exercise par
ticular care and that therefore the
Berlin government "frankly admits'
that assurances given to the United
States had not been adhered to.

Read strictly, the news considers the
German promise virtually puts the sub
marine out of action because if com
pelled to give warning of an attack the
submarine runs the risk of disaster and
cannot take the crew or passengers of
its victim on board or convoy a prize
to a German port because there is no
sea where it is safe to convoy a cap
tured vessel.
“The critical part of President Wil
son's note, however,” says the news, “is
the refusal of the condition. The presi
dent leaves Germany with the naked
alternative of surrendering the sub
marine as an effective weapon or com
ing into collision with the United States.
The firm, even abrupt, shutting off of
this discussion makes further commu
nication from Germany thereon almost
impossible. It would be to knock at a
door already bolted and barred.
"Thus Germany at last will be com
pelled to make a choice and the choice
will doubtless be determined by the
magnitude of the submarine power she
is able to launch against Great Britain
and the prospect of thus putting Great
Britain out of action before the inter
vention of the United States could have
any serious influence on the course of
the war.
"There is the further consideration
that Germany may decide to resume her
submarine campaign and, if it fails, use
the addition of the United States to the
ranks of her enemies as a reason for
confessing defeat before a world in
arms against her. At the best this pol
icy would give her a startling success.
At the worst it would give her an ex
cuse for asking for the peace she ur
gently needs.”
“NOTE HIGHLY SKILLFUL."
The Morning Post says:
"The note is highly skillful example
of diplomatic art. The German note of
May 4 was rather like a floating mine.
To come into sharp contact with one
of its several projecting horns might
have resulted in a disagreeable shock but
the American government has handsome
ly hauled the thing on deck where It
now reposes innocuous.
“Had President Wilson before pro
ceeding to discuss the German proposals
demanded that the conditions attached
to them should be withdrawn he would
have created a new difficulty. But the
president with Infinite tact accepts the
proposals and takes for granted that
conditions are not really attached to
them at all.” ,
The Daily Chronicle thinks “it dif
ficult to regard the note “ anything
but an important climb down by the
United States” because in the opinion
of the Chronicle, the note tacitly ad
mits the German conditions that mer
chantmen must not attempt to escape,
must not offer armed resistance and
must not be armed.
"Unless President Wilson has received
private assurances much more far
reaching than the sham promises of the
German note," says the Chronicle, “It
is not clear what results are to be look
ed for from the German promise. Every
time Germany sinks a merchantman
I without warning she can now defend
j her action by alleging either that the
• ship was armed or offered resistance or
tried to escape.
I "American protests so far have not
‘made the slightest difference to the sub
marine war. but the British navy has
and will continue to do so.”
“Emperor William personally sent a
| letter to President Wilson,” says the
Dally Telegraph, "in which, appealing
[to him as the greatest neutral authori
ty, he expatiated on the necessity of
urging the western pow’ers not to pro
long indefinitely what seems to him their
useless efforts of revenge-’"
The Daily Telegraph adds that Em
peror William’s diplomacy has another
aim, namely, "to make once more Presi
dent Wilson realize the glorious and by
no means unuseful part which is in
store for him if he can wait and be
I *atient long enough to allow the Ger
man schemes to mature-”
Wilson's Note Praised
By French Newspapers
(By Associated Press.)
PARIS. May 10.—Great prominence
is given by the newspapers of Paris
this morning to the latest American
note to Germany. The American note
is spoken of as a master piece of diplo
macy.
"With conciseness, firmness and clari
ty, which is in strong contrast to the
pathos with which Wilhelmstrasse an
nounced its backdown. President Wilson
'maintains the position he took up in
the preceding note,” writes Stephen
ipichon. former foreign minister in the
{Petit Journal.
[ . The Matin says the American note
i places Germany in a cruel dilemma, her
i 'suggestions having been rejected but
i ner promises registered so that they
’ will have to be kept. It continues:
"It must be clear to all neutrals that
i (Germany has suffered an unprecedented
• diplomatic defeat, it will be interest
’ i ing to see how the German government
, [explains to the public that it has con-
I sen ted radically to modify submarine
I warfare without obtaining the slightest
1 compensation in exchange."
i One of the most important points to
I be noted in regard to the American re
ply in the opinion of the Petit Parisien
’ is that it ignores the allusion in the
! German note to the chancellor's two
i declarations in the reichstag in regard
to peace negotiations. This paper says:
I “if Emperor William desired to catch
; President Wilson in a trap the emperor
• is caught in his own toils. He has met
! his master. There remains nothing for
• him to do except either to accept the
I American note at the risk of loosing

• parties or to take upon himself the initl
! atlve tn bringing about a rupture which

MORE MILMEN
MAY BE CALLED FDR
DUTY ALONG BORDER
I
Virtually Last of Regular
Troops Now Being Mobilized,
Including Companies of
Coast Artillery
(By Associated Press'
WASHINGTON, May IV.—Virtually
the last American troons in the United
States were being mobilized today for
Mexican border service. With the na
tional guard of three states, they were
under orders to hasten to reinforce Gen
eral Funston's army. The total of be
tween 9,000 and 10,000 included eleven
companies of coast artillery ordered out
last night by Secretary Baker.
The proposed military agreement be
tween the Carranza and American gov
ernments remained unsigned and Gen
eral Obregon, Mexican war minister,
after a three hours’ discussion with
General Scott last night, arranged for
still another conference today.
if the situation warrants, nationaJ
guards of other states will be called out
for border patrol duty, officials de
clared. Secretary Baker stated, how
ever, that no further mobilization or-
Secretary Baker informed President
Wilson today that the conference be
tween General Scott and General Obre
gon last night was not conclusive and
that it would oe continued today. He
indicated that the outlook was more
ders are contemplated immediately,
favorable for an agreement being reach
ed. Tne exact points of difference were
not revealed.
General Scott has advised Secretary
Baker that no formal counter proposals
have been submitted by General Ob
regon, but that Obregon arranged to
submit a paper containing his views to
day. General Scott did not advise the
department what counter proposals were
under consideration.
Secretary Baker today received an of
fer from Governor Pinkham, of Ha
waii. tendering the services of the Ha
waiian national guard.
Unofficial reports were received that
Mexicans along the entire border had
planned for today a concerted uprising.
From Mazatlan, on the west coast of
Mexico, came word that the consul
there had been warned by anonymous
letters that the consulate would be
blown up. All Americans were urged to
leave Mexico within 48 hours. These
reports increased anxiety over the sit
uation among officials today.
In adidtion to the 4,000 United States
soldiers and an equal number of militia
men from Texas, New Mexico and Ari
zona, ordered to the border yesterday,
Secretary Baker announced about 1,000
soldiers, comprising eleven companies
of United States coast artillery sta
tioned at gulf and Atlantic seaboard
posts, had been ordered to San Antonio
to serve as infantry with the border
patrol.
The secretary also said five batteries
of the Fifth Field artillery had been
ordered from tort Sill, Okla. Three
adidtional batteries of the Third Field
artillery were held in readiness at To
byhanna, Pa., under orders today.
Unofficial estimates placed the num
ber of troops now on Mexican duty or
under mobilization at about 45,000.
Pershing's Forces Ordered
To Return to Colina Dublin
(By Associated Press.)
EL PASO, Tex., May 10.—General
Pershing has been ordered to begin a
greater concentration of his troops.
Those detachments still operating as
far south as San Antonio, it was re
ported, will be withdrawn to Colonia
Dublan.
No answer had been received early to
day from Washington to General
Scott’s message reporting General Obre
gon's proposal for a joint patrol of the
international boundary.
General Funston said he had no idea
when he would return to his headquar
ters at San Antonio. This was taken
to indicate that today's conference may
not be the last.
From Juarez came reports that Gen
eral Obregon and his advisers were opti
mistic regarding the outcome. It is not
expected that A. J. McQuatters, the min
ing man, who withdrew from last
night's meeting, will take further part.
General Scott explained that in view
of the attitude of General Obregon he
had not thought it proper to insist on
Mr. McQuatters’ attendance.
General Funston said .the coast ar
tillery ordered to the border would be
assigned to towns which it could best
protect. The militia will be divided
among towns, bridges and easily acces
sible points with close communication

duty for duty in the Isolated sections.
Two companies of the Twenty-flrst in
fantry left El Paso today to guard the
big bridge near Del Rio on the Southern
Pacific.
General Scott said today's conference
would be held regardless of whether a
reply was received to the plan of the
Mexican minister of war.
Increasing confidence in the ability of
Generals IScott and Obregon to effect an
agreement as to the stateus of the
American punitive expedition in Mex
ico, was evident on both sides of
the Rio Grande today, notwith
standing the situation was not
materially altered by the conferees
in thdr three hour’s talk last night.
The optimism appeared based largely
upon the admission that another confer
ence would be held, perhaps today, and
that General Obregon and his military
advisers maintained attitudes of hope
fulness.
The net result of the conferences al
ready held is that the Mexican repre
sentatives yet insist upon placing the
question of withdrawal of General Per
shing’s forces ahead of the question of
co-oporatlon. General Scott was ex
pected to receive from the war depart
ment a communication on which a re
play could be delivered to General Obre
gon’s counter proposal for a joint patrol
of the border by the troops of each
country on its own side of the line. With
this agreed to, General Obregon believ
ed that co-operation in the running
down of bandits that raided across the
line might be more effective.
Whether the conference w’lll take
place before late today was unknown
either at General Obregon’s headquar
ters or at General Scott’s. Because of
the new phases suggested by General
Obregon it was believed probable that
he would consult with Carranza and
that delays in communicating with the
Mexican capital might make the holding
of the conference before tomorrow im
possible.
The ordering into the border country
of more regular troops and militia ap
peared not to worry General Obregan
and those military men with him, nor
did Juan N. Amador, sub-secretary of
foreign affairs, appear perturbed. They
assumed that the increasing of the
forces along the border to an army of
almost 50,000 to be solely for the pro
tection of towns on the American side
and laughed at suggestions that any
thing more serious might be contem
plated.
Major Langhorne, commanding two
troops of the Eighth cavalry, was near
ing the international boundary line early
today and it is understood that he is
prepared to cross into Mexico if he sees
any chance of running down any of the
bandits implicated in thb raid of Glenn
Springs and Boquillas. Colonel F. W.
Sibley, who will be in general command,
will arrive on the border some time la
ter with two more troops and the dispo
sition of the little force will depend upon
circumstances and conditions. He han
authority to cross into Mexico if he
deems it expedient.
Mexican Labor Leader Asks
Wilson for Categorical View
MEXICO CITY, May 9.—Dr. Atl,
leader of the Mexican labor party and

ple and all latin-America want "a cat-'
egorical declaration” from him as to,
his policy toward the Latin-American

Horseflesh Kept
British Men Alive
At Kut-el-Amara
LONDON, May 10.—A dispatch from
the British "eye-witness” with the
Mesopotamia forces gives a description
of General Townshend’s hokllng out
against the Turks at Kut-el-Amara
while on the verge of starvation. The
men subsisted during the last fort
night on four ounces of flour dally and
a ration of horseflesh. One of General
Townshend’s last wireless dispatcher
before he capitulated said:
“Have destroyed the guns and am de
stroying the munitions. have
gone to Kahlil Bey to say that we are
ready to surrender. We must have
some food and officers have gone to
bring some from the Turks.”
The last message sent by General
Townshend said:
"We have hoisted the white flag. A
Turkish regiment is approaching.”
On January 24 the British discovered
new stores hidden in the houses, mostly
underground. They were sufficient for
nearly tNree months on a gradually re
duced scale. These were commandeered
and paid for. One of the chief difficul
ties was the fact that the civil popula
tion remained in Kut-el-Amara. The
few who tried to leave were shot by
the Turks, who made it clear that they
would execute any person who tried to
escape. Thus the garrison was bur
dened with 6,000 additional mouths to
feed.

(By Associated Press.)
EL PASO, Tex., May 9. —A private
message received here today says the
sever? American employes of the Porto
Rico de Boriuillas mine near Boquillas,
Mexico, who were captured by Mexican
bandit raiders, overpowered the guards
and have escaped to the border, bringing
three of the Mexicans with them as
prisoners.
The message, which was later con
firmed, said Dr. Homer Powers, of San
Angelo, Tex., who was among the cap
tured, also made his escape.
Word of the situation of the eight
men was brought to Marathon today by
Nick Postrius, a mine emplqye who was
seized, but escaped just before the
bandits left the mine with their
prisoners.
The eight captives are: R. R. Has
brouck, assayer; Dr. Homer Powers, of
San Angelo, Tex., C. B. Halter, mine
superintendent; ——— Butler, engineer;
Scott, truck driver; McKnight,
truck driver; truck driver, name un

by CORNELIUS B. ROUBKE,

Journal and the Chicago Daily News.
PERSIMMON GAP, Tex., April 9.—(By
Messenger to Marathon.) —A story con
cerning the seven Americans who were
kidnaped by the band of Mexican brig
ands who raided Glen Springs, Tex., was
brought here by Nicholas J. Pistorius,
engineer of the Porto Rico mines at
Boquillas, Mexico. He stopped at this
place on his way to El Paso.
Pistorius himself was a prisoner of
the Mexican bandits, but succeeding in
slipping away from them and hiding
under a feeding device of the mines
tramway. He was not left there with
out a search being made for him by the
bandits, who all the while were cursing
the grlngoes. After half an hour a
leader who was addressed as lieutenant
colonel called back saying:
“Let him go, one gringo mor* or less
makes no difference.”
Pistorius, who was accompanied by
Lloyd Wade, a rancher, In an automo
bile, said that he believed J. J. Deemer,
keeper of a general store a mile from
Boquillas, had been killed by the
bandits.
TWELVE MILES FROM BORDER.
The Porto Rico mine is owned by the
International Mining company and is
twelve miles over the Mexican border.
The bandits were encountered on Satur
day morning after they had committed
the raid on Glen Springs. The narra
tive, as related by Pistorius was mostly
of his own experiences.
“At about 11 o’clock Saturday morn
ing,” said Pistorius, “I was at the mine
with four of my men. A voice sum
moned me to the shaft entrance from my
engine room. I thought It was one of
my men, but when I reached there I
was covered by a revolver in the hand
of a Mexican. I looked down and saw
the other men with the exception of
the chauffeurs were already prisoners.
I went along and as we were being
ordered with curses to proceed, the
chauffeurs, with two trucks loaded with
ore appeared.
“The chauffeurs with the others were
made prisoners and ordered to unload
one of the trucks. The empty automo
bile was confiscated by the bandits and
the other machine was disabled.
NEEDED GASOLINE.
“The chauffeurs were forced to tell
the Mexicans where a supply of gasoline
could be had and while they were busy
getting this I succeeded in backing away
without being noticed and secreted my
self in the mine. I stayed there until
dark and then made my way to the Rio
Grande. On Sunday morning I waded
the river, the water being up to my
armpits at the middle of the stream.
There I told friends of my experience
and when I left the border efforts were
being made to organize a posse of citi
zens to cross the river in pursuit of
the outlaws. It is my best belief that
the bandits all were Villlstas.
“All of the clothing, watches, money
and other property which could be taken
handily by the Mexicans were stolen.”

Closest Race Apparently That
Between Hobson and Bank
head in New District
(By Associated Pr»s.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 10. —Ala-
bama’s representation in congress prob
ably will not be changed as a result
of yesterday's Democratic primaries, al
though with less than orre-third of the
votes counted, it is impossible to give
anything approaching a definite result.
Not one of the wards of any of the
cities had conmpleted a count and it
was said the larger boxes would not be
returned before Wednesday night. A
long ballot and second choice voting,
employed for the first time in the state,
accounted for the delay.
Former Representative Hobson was
running slightly behind William B.
Bankhead for representative from the
new Tenth district on the face of scat
tering returns.
Ray Rushton, of Montgomery; former
United States Senator White, of Bir
mingham; Judge N. D. L»enson and A.
H. Carmichael, of Tuscumbia, speaker
of the house in the last legislature,
were leading for delegates at large to
the national convention, though the vote
from rural districts may completely
change the situation. The other candi
dates were Horace Hood, of Montgom
ery; J. J. Willett, of Mobile, and R E.
Spraggins, of Montgomery. The prohi
bition question figured largely in the
contest for delegates at large, although
all had announced their support of
President Wilson. Judge Denson was
indorsed by both sides, while Mr. Rush
ton is a local optionist and Mr. Car
michael is author of Alabama’s present
prohibition law.
E. D. Smith, of Birmingnam* indorsed
by Senator Underwood, appears to have
won over Borden Burr, also of Birming
ham, for Democratic national commit
teeman.
Sara P. Kennedy, president of the
public service commission, has a slight
lead for renomination over H. P. Mer
ritt and J. A. Camley.
Judge John C. Anderson was renom
inated for chief justice of the supreme
court over James A. Mitchell.
Five of the present representatives
in congress had opposition, namely,
Dent, in the Second; Blackmon, in the
Fourth; Burnett, in the Seventh; Al
mon, in the Eighth, and Huddleston,
in the Ninth. AU were leading by sub
stantial majorities and it appeared that
the nominations of Dent and Huddle
ston were assured and the others very
probable.
Returns on the contest for state game
and fish commissioner, associate jus
tices of the supreme court and mem
bers of the court of appeals were too
scant to warrant a forecast of the
probable winners. No other state of
fices were voted on.
President Wilson, unopposed on the
presidential preference ballot, received
all but one of the votes counted in
Montgomery. Henry Ford's name was
written In by one voter.

SAYS E. H. M'DANIEL
Well-Known Atlanta Man
Says He Was in Bad Health
3 Years and Only. Weighed
107 Pounds—Now Weighs
140 * - d
"I don’t know what was the matter
with me but I had been going downhill
for three years and was so run-down
I was about ready to give up my job
and go to the country and do something
else.
”1 fell off in weight until I only
weighed 107 pounds and it just begun
to look like I would waste away to
nothing. I was sick at my stomach
nearly all the time, and didn’t hardly
have strength enough to do my work.
Sometimes my back would ache and J
thought I had kindey trouble, and I
was always taking kidney pills and other
medicines, but they didn’t do me any
more good than pouring water on a
duck’s back.
“Well, one day Mr. Mauldin told me to
take Tanlac and I got a bottle and start
ed on it I hadn’t taken more than half
of a bottle until I began picking tsp.
I began to eat and sleep and felt like
working again.
"I have now taken three bottles and
it is the honest truth when I tell you
I weigh 140 pounds. Yes, sir, that’s a
fact, and everybody who knows me will
tell you the same thing. Tanlac is
what did it, too, and it luts done me
more good than everything else I ever
took put together."
This remarkable statement was made
by E. H. McDaniel, who lives at 106
South Boulevard, Atlanta. Mr. Mc-
Daniel has held a responsible position
with the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills
for the past five years, and is well and
favorably known by hundreds of people
in that section of the city.
There is not a happier couple in At
lanta than Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel, and
they feel so grateful to Tanlac over the
wonderful improvement in his health
that they want everybody to know about
it
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists in
all principal towns of the south.
