BERXSTORFF ASKS LANSING FOR CONFERENCE TODAY May Have Proposition Concerning1 Sussex President Waits on Data TVASIIIXGTON. April 10. Oerman Ambassador von Bcrnstoiff re quested and was granted a conference with Secretary Lansing for this afternoon, presumably to discuss the Sussex case. Lansing would not discuss tho nature of the meeting further than to say It was at the envoy'H request. It was thought von Bemstorff might deliver certain propositions on tho situation, f Germany's official denial that a German submarine attacked the Channel liner Sussex was expected to reach tho State Department some tlmo today. As a re sult of this denial, deflnlto action by tho United States to bring the submarlqo con ' tfoVersy to a head has been seriously In terfered wUh. Officials admit that tho case Is "ser iously complicated by tho positions taken by the rival belligerents. Kngland and Franco specifically have declared the ves pel was torpedoed. Germany says that none of her U-boats wcro responsible. There Is no conclusive evidence from nn Independent sdurco that will permit of the United States reaching a verdict Officials said It was unlikely that any action could be taken for several days Inasmuch as the text of all of the af fidavits taken by the embassy repre sentatives In Paris and London cannot reach here before next Thursday, when the liner St. Paul Is due to arrive at New Tork. It had been expected that this evi dence would be ready for consideration at tomorrow's Cabinet meeting, but It was explained at the Statu Department that this would be impossible. It Is thought that the Sussex finally may be eliminated from consideration In the submarine situation. Ambassador Gerard Is understood already to have transmitted confidential reports, which show that his Investigation of the charges made from French and British sources that Germany has Issued secret In structions to submarine commanders to attack without warning, nnd then to avoid detection, are without foundation. The Ambassador Is understood to have re ported that he was fully confident that the Oerman Government was endeavoring to carry out Us promises to the United Spates without any qualifications. The reports dealing with the torpedoing of the Manchester Engineer, tho English man, and the Eagle Point are also on the Bt Paul and It is stated that until they are examined It will be Impossible to de termine whether they will furnish mate rial to address Berlin on the general sub marine question. Secretary Lansing announced at noon that he had received only the preliminary report from Ambassador. Gerard, explain ing that he had been handed the German reply In the Sussex case and would for ward It as soon as It could be coded. The Secretary declined to Bay whether the Gerard statement showed that Ger many was also outlining her position in connection with the other Inquiries made about other steamships. The Secretary Incidentally remarked that he had re ceived several reports from Ambassador Qerard during the laBt few day, but that none of them would be made public at this time. It Is believed that these re ports had to do with the denial by the Ambassador that Germany had issued secret orders to her submarine commanders.

"There's not n chnnee of tho American troops being withdrawn from Mexico " This was Major Kunstnn's comment to day, when ho was told of unolllcl.il re ports that t'nrrnnzlst.i leaders declared l-'rnnclco Villa had pscrm1 Into IJuraiigo. and that the L'nltcd States forces would thoteforc have to Ieiie the country. Kunstun said Hint. Judging from all he had heiii'l from Washington, the hunt for Villa would I'ontluuo. Latest olllclal ad vices said that Colonel Dodd and Colonel Brown wei'p puihing southward from Satevo and Cuslluilincliic respectively, tho advance cavalry screen having already passed I'arral. "Wo nre still going south " said Gen eral Kunston. From Columbus tho American commander received word that tho guaid over the Hues of communica tion In northern Mexico had boon strengthened during the List tin oo davs by the dispatch of additional Atnerhan forces. Ti cliches have been constructed at strategic points along tho supply routo nnd General Kuiistnii Is so satisfied with tho situation from n mllltnrv standpoint that he ees no lenson for shifting his headquaitci-s from San Antonio. General t'unslon was Indignant todav over the demand of tin1 rltlztMis of Pol K!u that the negro troops tlieio lie with drawn owing to n cliu-li u Itn Texas Hangers and replaced with white soldiers lie s.ild that soldiers nt lel Itlo had bei-n sent tlieie In response to u hysterical pica for protection, that tliey could well bo used In Mexlno and that thete was no possibility of sending white troops to ro placo them. Kunston today regarded as highly sig nificant reports of I'nrriiiixlsta en-upi-i.i-tlon. The muiteous treatment received fiont f'nnaiizlstaH by the American avia tors who landed at Chihuahua was grati fying. . In addition to these advices General Pershing's report on his visit to Han Geronlnio. where General Luis Ilerrcra called upon him, tended to hrlghtvii tho outlook, jlcrrt-ru. onco reported to be le velling against Carranzn. pionilsed Pershing full co-operation, tho general said. Pershing's report reiterated the story of Villa having been wounded. Funslon believed this might account for the com paratively slow pi ogress of tho VHllstas Indicated by recent advices on Villa's whereabouts. Ills dispatches strongly in dialled increasing uctlvity by the Car lanzlslu troops. Heiera and Pershing discussed the manhunt In friendly terms and exchanged views on luimliig down the bandit At Chihuahua thi-io was no indication of an effort to withhold sup plies from Americans, according to head quarters' reports, but the shortage of pro visions made It difficult to obtain them. Storekeepers were liberal with their stocks. ON DEAD MAN'S LINE AT VERDUN VILLA KEYON!) IWRANfiO LINE, FAR AHEAD OF FOE i:L PASO, Tex., April 10. -Mexican re ports reaching the border today nsseited that Francisco Villa hail escaped from Chihuahua and crossed the Una into Du r.ingo. his native State, through which bis couriers nave liecn galloping for sev eral days, calling upon outlaw bands of that wild section to Join the brigand chief and fight tho pursuing Americans. According to Carranztstns, the Cblliun-hua-Uurango State lne was the limit of tho pursuit by the American expedition. They declared tho withdrawal of tho United States troops from Mexico might bo expected within aN few days. A cen sored dispatch from tho headquarters of the expedition says that General Pershing has gone to the extreme southern front, and thnt on Sunday he was camped only a few miles behind tho American troopers who tried to Intercept Villa before ho reached I'arral. CONSUL GARCIA QUOTED. Andreas Garcia, Carranza consul In El Paso, Is quoted In nn Interview as having authorized tho statement that the south ern boundary of Chihuahua was fixed by President "Wilson and First Chief Car ranza as the deadline of the American pursuit. (The agreement between tho American and Mexican Governments as given out recently in Mexico City, did not contain any clauso covering this, but Arti cle 7 of the pact was not mado public at that time, nor has It been revealed since.) It Is possible that the diplomatic com munications which recently passed be tween Querctaro and Washington may have had to do with this phase of the sit uation. General Pershing's dash In an automobile 18 miles to get to the front Indicates that Important developments aro pending. "Whatever the dlplomatla exchanges may lead to. It Is apparent that Villa In his flight southward had a well-formulated plan of campaign. While his rear guard held back tho Americans, he sent Into Durango two trusted messengers, win opened negotiations with General Do mingo Arrleta and General Mariano Ar rieta, brother rebeli. who have in the neighborhood of Durango City an armed force of 3000 men eager to take the field against either Carranza or Americans preferably Americans, according to the threats that the Arrietas have made, VILLA SEEKS IIRCRUITS Villa's envoys are said to have won the support of the Arrieta brothers nnd when word was received today that Villa had pasbed MagUtral. n Durango mining camp six miles from EI Oro, which Is 30 miles south of the Chihuahua border, It was predicted that he would lay his course direct Srovn Dumngo City.

General Pershing reports that ho has had n Very satisfactory confer ence with General Herieira, nnd ex perts today to meet (lenoral Gutierrez to whom ho sent messages by aero plane to Chihuahua, and received re plies offering full co-operation.

General Pershing further reports that ono neroplnno was badly dis abled In landing on the Gth, leaving only five out of the original eight now In serviceable condition! hut It Is evident that tho aeroplanes In uso nro performing valuable.
