NEW FORCE TO PERSHING
Carranza Again Demands With
drawal of Punitive
Expedition
EL- PASO, April 10. By orders of
General Alvnro Obrcgon, Minister of
War in the Carranza Government,
American soldiers will be attneked
shoutd they enter any Mexican city or
town in the future. The attitude of
General Obrcgon was shown in a
proclamation posted in Pnrrnl nftcr
the recent clash there.
The proclamation was brought by a
refugee nnd turned over to General
Bell here. It concludes:
"As Mexicans we arc called upon to
defend our country. Any future at
tempt on the part of the expedition
ary forces to enter Mexican towns
will be met with armed resistance."
MEXICO CITY, April 19. Scnor Ama
dor, sub-Secretary til Foreign Relations,
today declared that lSllseo Arredondo, am
bassador designate of the do facto gov
ernment at Washington! had been In
structed to demand the withdrawal of tho
American troops In Mexico. ,
Tho do facto government Assorts tho
Villa bands nro completely dispersed and
the presence of tho troops Is no longer nec-t
cssary. The belief prevails here that the
demand will bo granted by President Wil
son. Tho War Department states that tho
nurse at villa's deathbed has been cap
tured and gives details. Tho nurso will
guide Carranza oIHcers, accompanied by
one American, ofllcer, to tho. grave.
Juarez officials here- still believe that
Villa's body has been found, although no
confirmation of tho report was received
today over Mexican -telegraph' lines'.'' pm-'
cers 6C the de facto government calf 'at
tention 'to tho fact that Villa never has
been reported south of San Francisco.
.Bqrja. Whore h!a bpflx Is, sdld , tor havo.
been located, and that the AmerlcanTOfcea.
proceed over the.Durango-Chlhuiliua Uric.
If Villa's body has been found: It should

next 48 hours,-' ' '
Explaining the' faith ,d'f Carranza offi
cials Ih 'the report' that Villa's body was
found at San Fnfnclsco Borja, Mexican
Consul parcta at El Paso said today
"Our belief In Vllla'a-death-ls as strong
as overhand wo expect otllcinl confirma

body must be carried over a. rough moun

requires delicate handling. Every one.

Antonio told us he could stake his lifo on
Its being true."
2300 ADDITIONAL TROOPS
RUSHED TO PERSHING'S AID
SAX ANTONIO, Tex., Aprll19.
General Funston Is sending to General
Pershing 2300 additional troops, and. It
'was learned today, thero Is reason to be
lieve that more will be dispatched If tho
campaign against VJUa Is continued.
The troops which have been ordered to
General Pershing's base at Columbus are
now on dutx along the border. What
troops wlH relievo them and where they
will come from was not announced. The
War Department, It was said, will Have
to' authorize the sending of the few re
maining troops In the United States Into
this department, or tho filling of the
vacant p6nts may be lert to tho State of
Texas, which may send militia.
The troops selected for General Per
shing are the 6th Cavalry, from tho
nrownayllle district: the 17th Infantry,
from Kagle Pass; Troop Ii. of the 10th
Cavalry, from 'Fort Apache, Ariz., and
'one battalion of tho 2ith Infantry, one.
company of which- is at El Paso, one at
Marfa, and another at Fabens., Marfa
Is just north of OJInaga, on the Mexican
frontier, and Fabens la on the Bio Grande'
only a few miles from Kl raso.
In addition to these forces, deneral
Pershing now has in his base guard at
Columbus 800 men, but the necessity of
maintaining at' least that many there la,
recognized. - -
Stnff officers here were convinced some
days ago thatunlcsa VHIa was taken be
fore lie got beyond Satevo, the chances of
getting him were remote. That point has
been reached, and Villa remains' at large,
or Is dead, and to that situation Is added'
an undisguised hostility of various Car
ranra organization that army men here
declare makes doubly necessary the
.strengthening of Oeneral Pershing's force.

Crisis Grave
ASQUITH DELAYS STAND
LONDON, AprlNs. The Dally Chron
icle's Parliamentary correspondent In this
morning's Issuo of that paper says:
"The, Cabinet crisis assumed an oven
graver' character yesterday and last night
thero were only faint hopes of nn accom
modation being, arrived nt. In fact. It is
no exaggeration to say that tho life of
tho coalition Is hanging by a thread, which
may bo snapped In the course-of today.
"The dividing lino is, the question of
general . compulsion. It Is now certain
that unless the Cabinet today decides to
take somo step in that direction, not only
Mr, Loyd George, but Bonar Law and
nil the Unionist members of tho Cabinet
will resign. Whether In theso circum
stances Premier Asqulth could carry on
a bold reconstruction of his Government
on a liberal labor basis is highly prob
lematical. "Thero remains the other possibility
that a majority of the Cabinet may, after
all, decide In favor of general compul
sion on the ground of necessity and of
conviction that without It the number of
men required by-the army council between
now and next December could not be pro
vided. Any decision of this kind, how
ever, would mean the retirement from the
Government of the three labor ministers.
"A. meeting of the Parliamentary Labor
party- was held last evening, and after a
prolonged discussion a resolution V car
ried against any further extenalo'hVc.f-the
principle of compulsion.
"Today's Cabinet council will probably
decide tho fate of the coalition. Mr.
Lloyd 'Geofgo has submitted a proposal
for a bill In favor of general compulsion,
with the promise that compulsory powers
are only to be exercised If the yield of
unattested married men under the new
voluntary recruiting plan falls short of
S 0.0 00 per month.
"It U possible that. a majority of the
Cabinet may accept this proposal, but
labor will be no party to Jt.
It is understood that the army council
desres tl)e guarantee of a steady In
flow of pen right to the end of the year
and there la no certainty that this guar
antee can be provided In the absence of
the general question."

Executive Will Recite Violations of Promises Made by
Berlin and Will Announce His Determination
to Cut Off Diplomatic Relations,
Officials Declare
WASHINGTON, April 19. Grnvcly npprchensive, ConRrcss and the
Nation today waited upon President Wilson.
For the first time in years the dignified offices nnd corridors of thef
Capitol, th Senate and the House, office buildings were crowded before eight
o'clock.
Groups of excited members, In almost total ignorance of what the day
might bring forth, but confident that great events were impending, gathered
to talk things over.
From the meagre information available there developed a feeling that
before nightfall the long-expected crisis in the relations between this country
and. Germany would be reached.
PARIS, April 19. President Wilson bases his conviction that the Sus
sex was torpedoed partly on the affidavits of two Americans, which wire
forwarded to Washington by Ambassador Sharp, it was learned on good)
authority today. Both Samuel Semis, of Medford, Mass., and Miss Gertrude
Warren, of St. Louis, swore that they saw the' wake of a. torpedo.
WASHINGTON, April 19.
As tho next to tho last stop in his long and patient effort to bring
Germany to n proper respect for the laws of nations and her solemn pledges
to the United States, President Wilson will go before both houses of Congress
nt 1 p. m. today.
The President will say that Germany has shown herself unfit for friendly
relations and that he has determined to break those relations short off.
Congress will not be naked for advice or authority. It will simply be asked
to listen to a statement of fact.
Jt is expected that the President's address will still "give ''Germany a
last opportunity to come to terms- But the fact that the President will lay
tho- case before -Cojigesa shows that, he expects .no -such action; 'Germany
has said repeatedly that she cannot dfs'continuo her submarlno warfare- Jho -
harshest of tho many noted tile President has sent to- Berlin, was nut fn code
this afternoon and ia ready for. tho cable. This.communicntiqn is now; intended
for transmission udmo time after the President makes (s address to Con
gress. When it goes, if circumstances still require its sending,, the' continu
ance of diplomatic relations between the two, countrlees will have to depend
wholly upon Germany. The United' Statcswill have spoken its last (word.
The President-will not mince words in his address to Congress. He is
determined that Congress shall know tho Jong series Of o'ffenses which Iio
purposes to bring definitely to an end. He read his address to the Cabinet
this morning, and he nnd his advisers have no doubt that the case ho will pre
sent to Congress can lead to but one verdict. Indeed, the President's address as
now written carries the verdict in it, and this verdict is that Germany has
violated every law of nations, has broken every solemn promise to the United
States and is no longer worthy the acquaintance of self-respecting people.
Carrying Out Promise to Congress
Tho address of tho President today is not expected to announce in
itself that relations with Germany have been ended. When the armed ship
crisis over the McLemore resolution, in which Congress gave the President
a signal triumph over tho recalcitrant members of the two houses, was near
its satisfactory issue, it was formally announced in the House that tho
President wouldconsult Congress before taking a definite step. Tho Presi
dent today will scrupulously carry out that understanding and tell Con
gress what he proposes to do.
A member of the Cabinet said this evening that what the President would
say to Congress wou!dgivo no opportunity for a repetition of anything like
the controversy in Congress over the McLemore and Gore resolutions. ,It is
known chat there is a minority in both houses opposed to courageous action.
Tho statement, therefore, that thero will bo no opportunity for congressional
dispute can only' mean that tho President will show that things have gone
so far that there can bo no drawing back. Congress can then only join the
President in waiting for Germany to show her hand, hoping that Germany
will return to reason and law and tho observance of pledges.
As a symbol that the time for all partisan divisions is past, the Presi
dent has arranged to see at 10 o'clock this morning the ranking mem
bersboth Democratic and Republican of the two committees dealing with
foreign affairs Senators Stone, of-Missouri, and' Lodge, of Massachusetts,
and Representatives Flood, of Virginia, and Cooper, of Wisconsin. Yesterday
the President intended to seo Mr. Stone alone, but the effort to arrango an
interview with Senator Stone was abandoned, and it was decided to consult
with tho whole of Congress.
Expected to Announce Prospective Break
As sketched last night, the President today will lay the whole situation
before Congress. He will review the mass of evidence in the long list of
German outrages review it like a judge, said one last night. Then he will
state his conclusion that Germany has been guilty', guilty in many ways of
many different offenses. And his conclusion will be that there is only one
thing for the United States to do. What this would be was not told, but
everything that was said made it plain that the President would announce his
intention to break off all relations. '
Exactly when tho American communication to Germany will go forward
Is not known. That Is the one, element of uncertainty 3nthe situation, It
was said last night authoritatively that it would go "subsequent to the address
to Congress." It is not plain, however, whether there will be an interval
between speech and written communication in which Germany may have time
to give full satisfaction.
If there, is (his interval and the note goes forward at the end of tt, it is
not unlikely that Germany will be regarded as having rejected her oppor
tunity, and the communication may conclude with the statement that rela
tions are in fact broken. If the communication is dispatched immediately
after the President's address, it will probably be more in tho form of an
ultimatum demanding prompt compliance than of an announcement of accom
plished facts, v
While things have moved rapidly only since Monday, the President has
been, carefully measuring the steps he might have to take. Six days ago he
outlined at the Jefferson Day dinner the circumstances under which the United
States would be justified in taking extreme measures, More definitely still,
he repeated this thought yesterday to the Daughters of the American Revo
lutions And all the while the causes of resentment against Germany were increas
ing, till now Jhe, SpSsex case, which loomed big a week ago, is only one of
many incidents. Since the attack on that unwarned and unarmed liner four
ships have, been attacked by German and Austrian submarines in violation,
of pledges to. the United States.
