OFFICIALS IN DILEMMA
NO SCORES UP TO THIRD FRAME
.
By L. V. B. RUCKER,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
EL PASO, TEXAS, May 5.—~0n the
eve of concluding the diplomatic ne
gotiations between the United States
and Mexico the American army has
again definitely located Pancho Villa.
General Pershing from his headquar
ters near Namiquipa today wired
General Funston that he has informa
tion which he regards as reliable that
Villa is hiding in Durange
In the message it is asserted Gen
eral Pershing gave detalls as to the
bandit's hiding place. These, how
ever, were withheld by General Fune
ston, who sald It was impossible to
reveal at this time, for military rea
sons, the exact whereabouts of Vilia.
Coincident with the announcement
that Villa had again heen located,
General Funston made a significant
statement which indicates that the
American troops will not be as re
stricted In their pursuit of Villa as
popularly supposed,
“It's all over but the shouting™
sald Gegeral Funston “Carranza
made concessions surprising to us,
Of course, there is a possibility that
new instructions from Mexico may
complicate the situation, but we think
there is nothing left but the last for
mal conference some time today, at
which the agreement will be signed
and ratified. Call it a protocol if you
wiil—that agreement which was
reached Tuesday night”
Mexican Minister of War Obregon
today put the new American-Mexican
agreement into active operation by
giving his consent to the use of Mex
ico’s rallways by American contrac
tors who are shipping supplies to
General Pershing.
At a long conference with the con
tractors General Obregon assured
them that they could count on his co
operation for use of the roads. and
sald he would give them an official
permit to this eflect at once.

Of Germany’s Reply to
- , -
President’s Ultimatum
HE German Admiralty has issued a new order to smbma-
T rine commanders, a copy of which is ineluded in the note,
by which no more merchant ships shall be sunk without
first being visited and searched and that all persons on board
the merchant sfiips shall be given a chance to escape.
Germany declares that unless the United States compels
England to cease violating the rules of international law, ‘“‘a
new situation will arise in which the German Government must
reserve for itself complete liberty of decision.”
Germany declares that:
The United States has diseriminated against her in fa
vor of the Allies;
The German people have become aroused by the atti
tude of the United States;
The German Government is determined not to give up
its most effective weapon (the submarine), although a re
striction of its use will be allowed ;
The United States is expected to co-operate with Ger
many in ‘‘restoring the freedom of the seas;"’
The German Government wishes to prevent a break
with the United States;
The German Government wants to confine fighting to
belligerent nations and not extend the bloodshed to coun
tries now at peace;
The United States will be held responsible if the Ger
man armies are defeated through the ‘‘starvation policy"’
laid down by England in her blockade ;
Germany intends to continue her submarine warfare
and frequent references are made in the note to ‘‘the Ger
man people’” as apart from the German Government.
The note intimates that responsibility for a break would
rest with the United States and the note plainly indicates that
a further exchange of representations is desired before certain
elements of the submarine controversy are cleared up.

NIGHT
By International News Service.
WASHINGTOTN, May s.—During a discussion of
the submarine situation this afternoon Secretary of State
Lansing stated that if in the official reply handed to Ambas
sador Gerard at Berlin Germany promises to abandon her
present method of submarine warfare, then this Govern
ment will be in a position to discuss collateral questions with
her. He made it emphatically plain, however, that there
must be no repetition of submarine acts complained of while
such discussion is under way.
WASHINGTON, May s.—Secretary of State Lansing
announced at 3 p. m. that no portion of the German note
had yet been received at the department.
WASHINGTON, May s.—The conclusion of the German reply
leaves the submarine question in this situation:
Germany yields to the United States’ demand, providing
Great Britain is forced by the United States to abandon its illegal
practices.
Unless this is done, the note states, ‘‘the German Government
‘would then be facing a new situation in which it must reserve for
itself complete liberty of decision.”
The note says the following orders have been issued to subma
rine commanders:
‘‘ln accordance with the general principles of search and de
struction of merchant vessels, as recognized by international law,
such vessels both within and without the area declared a war zone
(the waters around the British Isles) shall not be sunk without
warning and without saving human lives, unless ships attempt to
escape or offer resistance.’’
It is for President Wilson to decide whether the answer meets
his demands.
He has heretofore taken the position that he could not treat
with Germany with such conditions imposed. .
His demand of April 18 called for an immediate cessation of
““{llegal submarine warfare,"’
The reply announces that Germany has stopped that, but says
it reserves the right to make a new decision unless Great Britain is
forced by the United States to stop its illegal practices.
