Carranzistas, in lnrge numbers, havo swooped down toward Par ral, "ready to shoot," should ex cuso bo given. Mexican civilians, enraged over tho invasion of their territory and deceived into believing the Amer icans wero roundly beaten at Parral, aro threatening.

Pancho Villa Is In the State of Zacatecas, un harmed. He la tho hero of a large fol lowing of bandits, gathered from the Durango Mountains to aid him In driving the American soldiers from Mexican soil. This Information was obtained today by agents of the State Department, fol lowing tho discovery through American sources that Villa had passed through Parral on April 10 and had gone south east from there. It was learned today that Villa's objec tive was Sombrerte, near the border of the States of Durango and Zacatecas, about SO miles southwest ot Torreon. Another report states that Villa passed through Troya, about 25 miles east of Tarral, two days before tho engagement between Americans and Carranza troops there. Evidence that Villa, If wounded follow ing the Columbus raid, as asserted by Car ranzistas, has recovered from the wound and now appears as sound as eer, has been obtained through Mexicans near Torreon, who say they saw Villa In per 1 son riding at the head of a column of men, west of Torreon on Apt 11 13, and that Villistaa In the Torreon country were quitting their homes to Join the bandit band in the Zacatecas country. Villa. Jt la said, was In Torreon with 8ernl of his men on April 13. lie was not disguised, but did not make himself conspicuous In the town, where he has thousands of followers. It was learned by Government agents that Villa met several bandit leadens In the outskirts of Torreon unit that he nroceeded on into Zacatecas. f presumably on their request to take lead ership as the head of a considerable force of Vlllbtas gathered there for him. Advices from the south, from private but reliable souces, say that the whole of Central Mexico, and especially the Tor reon district and the country lying be tween Parral and Torreon, Is aflame with violent anti-American sentiment.

A Bystcm of espionage thnt would do credit to an ab solute monarchy exists In Washington. It Is maintained by Beveral agencies, most ly representatives of foreign Governmenta As n result. Gocrnmont secrets, some ol thoni of extreme importance, have In the paRt fow months found their way Into the possession of outsiders, who havo used them to embarrass the XTnlted States. This bus been especially so In cases of Inter latlonal moment. Plans for futupn notion, affecting both l'urqpe and Mexico, hao leaked out In such a manner that carefully laid plans, sometimes having tntien months to perfect, havo had to bo changed nt the last mo ment. So serious was the situation that three of tho governmental departments nffcctedi united In an Investigation. Tho reports covering tho results now are before the chiefs of these departments. They show that virtually every leak Is directly blamablo on Government of ficials themselves. Washington officials are notorious for talking over the tele phone to nny one who wilt listen. Today, however, most of them havo received a quiet but peremptory tip to quit that method of discussing any matters that af fect Government policies. In the large residences of nearly all Washington officials there are telephone systems with ns many as a dozen branches. Servants or others In tho houses have overheard conversations ot Cabinet officials, army and navy chiefs, and other high officials by "cutting in" on these branches. This information has Industriously been "peddled," uometlmes to half a dozen sources. And It has not always been ac curately reported, one instance recently having occurred where a reported com munication from an American Ambassa dor was distorted Into a proposition en tirely foreign from what was Intended.

No other visitors were admitted to the hospital while President and Mrs. Wilson were Inside the building. Although the Chlor Executive came direct from Washington, where he has been under perhaps the greatest strain thatany President has over experienced, owing to the crisis and possible war that confronts this country with both Ger many and Mexico, ho nevertheless smiled graciously In acknowledging the great ovation that, passengers In the station gave him. While the President and Mrs. Wilson were walking from the train to exit gate an Incident occurred which wrung cheers from the crowds. Mr. Wilson had almost reached 'he open exit gate when a curly haired -Mungster nbut 5 yeara old ap proached him. The child apparently had become separated for the moment from Its caretaker.

The bundle sent contained both the originaPpapers "and the photographic prints nnd negatives of them. WASHINGTON, April 21. Ambassador von Bernstorff has been caught In a trap from which he cannot escape. If Wash Ingtou'n Interpretation of the last few days developments Is coriect. Washington has come to the conclusion that the German Embassy faces the neces sity of admitting improper activities or having the fact proved against It. Whether Count von Bernsto.ft can prove Washing ton Is wrong remains to be seen. Papers taken from tho office of Wolf von Igel, confidential secretary of Captain von Papen, and himself accredited to the embassy, form the principal basis for the belief. The alleged confession of Horst von der Gollz In London, a copy of which Is in Washington, forms an Important element. The situation was considered by the President's Cabinet today. It had already beerv-consldered 'the past few days by the Justice Department and the State Depart ment, How seriously the embassy has been Continued on Pace Seven, Column Tiro Funeral and Marriage In a Day BEADING.

GERMANY CANNOT YIELD ON U-BOATS, SAYS NAVY CHIEF Admiral Von Holtzendorfi; Asserts Submarine War Must Go On DOES NOT WANT BREAK By CARL AV. ACKERMAN Coprl(!ht. lOld. liy the United Press.)

"I am uu con vinced of that as of anything which has happened In this war. If you could read the definite Instructions, the exact orders each submarine commander has, you would understand that tho torpedoing of tho Sussex was Impossible. "Many of our submarines have returned from rounding up British vessels. They sighted scores of passenger ships golnif hetween Knglaud and America, but not one of these was touched, although us know every one of them was carrying war munitions for the Allies.

Tem perature will remain normal." "Long-distance" forecast, made two weeks ago by Willis L. Moore, professor of meteorology at the George Washington University and former chief of the United States Weather Bureau, and W. F. Ca rothers, director of the Carothers Observatory, Houston, Tex., and based on a new discovery in solnr physics "The week will open with Bhowers nnd rising temperatures." Forecast made today by George S. Bliss, section director of the United States Weather Bureau, this city "The outlook for good weather Sunday is not as encour aging as yesterday. The unusually slow movement of a storm area from the West may bring showers Sunday, but there is strong hope that the day will be fair." Great danger that an unwelcome vis ltor raln will take a prominent part In the Easter parade next Sunday developed today. The evil-minded Western storm, which has been followed by anxious eyes In Its damp eastward course, has. deliberately slowed up with the evident Intention ot giving a few showers to Philadelphia and the Boardwalk before It loses itself In the waste of the Atlantic Ocean. "It's been a long time since I saw such a slow storm," declared Weather Fore caster Bliss Indignantly. "Making allow ance for only moderate speed. It should have moved off the coast tomorrow. But It Is remarkably slow. We still have strong hope for a good day Sunday, be cause the center of the storm will move well north of us, and the showers seem to be scattering In the rain area." The cantankerous rain centre moved from southern Minnesota to Wisconsin in the last twenty-four hours. It was cen tral aver Wisconsin this morning, moving eastward across the Lake region. In case the Bhowers become widely scattered, it just may be that the volleys of rain will forget Philadelphia. ACCUSED GIRL- GETS DELAY Young Woman Blamed for Theft of $1000 From Employers Linda S.
