Washington Has Little Hope
Germany Will Meet U-Boat
Ultimatum Fully
PARIS, April 22.
Germany's reply to America's ulti
matum on submarine warfare will be
drafted by Emperor William and
Chancellor von Bcthmann-Hollwog at
the Kaiser's headquarters at Mczlorca
in northern France.
In a chateau at Mcziorcs the Kai
ser has been staying with his staff
over since the attack on Verdun was
launched, and there he and the Chan
qeilor, held their first conference on
tho American note yesterday.
ROME, April 22.
Austria will bring strong pressure
to bear to prevent Germany from
breaking with the United States it
wns learned today from neutral diplo
matic sources. r
Hungnrian stntcsmon In particular
desire that Germany yield to the
United States rather than bring mat
ters to a break. It was their influ
ence that caused Austria to back
down completely in the Ancon nego
tiations with the United States.
BERLIN, April 22.
The German Admiralty today sent
to tho American section of the For
eign OfIico a voluminous report on the
accomplishments of German subma
rines during tho war. The report
shows every ship attacked and the
result.
The information given by tho Ad
miralty will undoubtedly have great
weight with tho Foreign Office in de
termining the reply to be sent next
week to the American Government's
latest note. .
WASHINGTON FEARS BERLIN
WILL REFUSE FULL ASSENT
TO PRESIDENT'S DEMANDS
"WASHINGTON, April 22. Little hope
that Germany would meet fully the Amer
ican submarine demands was apparent
hero today.
Statements of Admiral von Holtxen
dorff, German Admiralty staff chief, pub
lished exclusively In the Evenino Ledoer
yesterday, furnished the State Department
the first definite- llno on the German of
ficial attitude.
Tho conclusion waB drawn by some of
ficials that perhaps modification of tho
sternness of the American demands of
fered the only chance of avoiding a diplo
matic break. Such a modification Is out
ot the question, they said.
The United States has held two posi
tions on submarine warfare. At first,
this Government contended It could not
be conducted In accord with International
law. Later, It held "this might be pos
sible. Now, It is Indicated officially. It will
leave to Oermany the question of whether
she can conduct warfare without vlolat
Jng international law and still make it ef
fective. Secretary Lansing is known to
feel that if Germany applies the rules of
ylalt and search, and provides for safety
of passengers, the undersea campaign will
be robbed of Us destructlveness and
hence, Its effectiveness.
Announcement of the application of the
so-called Mediterranean pledges to the
English death zone probably would not
meet American demands, it Is said, Inas
much as this Government feels these
pledges have not been effective.
If Germany agrees to follow the vlst-and-search
provisions to provide ample
safety for passengers, America will ac
cept without trouble. But Germany must
adhere to her pledges. She cannot prac
tice further what officials here regard as
an Indiscriminate disregard ot neutrals'
rights. And If she does apply such laws
she must practically speaking give up
submarine warfare against all merchant
ship by reason of the nature of the weapon
she employs.
So, In short, the problem comes down
to a question of whether Germany Is
ready for such abandonment, which in any
event must be the first step toward a new

Government, was persuading the Ameri
cans to flee to the border.

ASSURED OF SUPPORTS
EL PASO, Tex.. April 22. American
army olllccrs- In El Paso ndmltted today
for the tlrst timo that tho -expedition sent
Into Mexico had not tho slightest chance
of taldnK Francisco Villa, dead or alive.
They foresco tho withdrawal of the United
States troops. It has developed that there
wasTnore truth than fiction In the Car
ranzlstas claims that tho Chlhuahua
Durango boundary was the deadline for
tho advance of the American troops. None
of the American soldiers has crossed this
line. To the south of It. In tho State of
Durango, Villa Is strengthening his forces
with each passing hour. """
To the north of u tho forces are rest
ing on their arms, awaiting the result of
the conference betwoen Major General
Scott nnd Major Genernl Funston, at San
Antonio. If It shall be decided to keep
up the hunt for the bandit chieftain, tho
task will be made much more difficult by
thetlmo that has been allowed Villa to
gain fresh recruits and supplies of am
munition. Officers' on the border also be
lieve that the American troops would have
to fight the Carranzlstas as well as the
VUUstas now.
Reports reaching tho border today
brought tho Information that Villa has
undertaken an ambitious plan, namely the
overthrow of the present de facto govern
ment and the establishment of himself as
the do'mlnant figure In Mexican affairs.
His secret envoys have approached many
prominent Carranzista leaders, already
weakening In their allegiance to the "first
chief" and pointed out to them that the
natives of Mexico would rally to his stand
ard because he not only defied, but de
feated, the efforts ot the entire United
States Army,
Those who know the Mexican mind say
that Villa's argument Is a plausible one.
If he could win over the Carranzista
forces In northern Mexico and obtain the
ammunition, bought In the United States,
he would be able to .Inaugurate a strong
campaign for mastery.
Other reports affirm that Carranza's dif
ficulties are Increasing at Mexico City
and assert that he Is preparing to flee to
Vera Cruz, where he will establish head
quarters and prepare to flee by sea If he
Is overthrown,
Carranza's failure to get financial sup
port has militated against his ever gaining
complete control In Mexico. Four days
ago hs Government boasted that In
Mexico City Its money had' the value of
five cents, on the dollar. The next day
It dropped to three cents In Chihuahua
and now It Is two cents.
Inspired reports that fresh Government
securities were on deposit In New York
city failed to check the slump. After
May 1 all duties and taxes must be paid
In gold. It is said that the three leading
banks of Mexico have combined to force
the Government to repudiate its own cur
rency. No Mexican Government can stand
without financial support
All along the American line of com
munication in Mexico, where the soldiers
keep up their grind of work despite the
inactivity of the field forces, come reports
ot fresh outbreaks pt Villa and Diaz
bands. Backed by certain wealthy inter
ests, they are becoming dally more hostile
to the Americans.
Ono report reaching the border is that a
great anti-American demonstration. Is be

$400,000 IN BONDS
TAKEN FROM MAIL
FOUND BY CHANCE
New Yorker Arrested With
Them in Baltimore on
) Mere Suspicion
NOT HIS, HEV PROTESTS
"I Rive my word of honor the natrlirl
In not mine. A man nnd woman loft It
on the train when they cot out at Phila
delphia. I Intended to leave It where It
could be returned to them."
This was tho explanation offered by Ed
ward J. Qulgley, of New York, when he
was arrested nt the Union Station In Bal
timore last night. Vn a little black satchel
carried by Qulgley was more than $400,000
worth of securities, which were stolen on
February .28 from mall sacks on a ferry
boat of the Central Railroad of New Jer
sey, bound'from Jersey City to New York.
Philadelphia police are working on the
case.
It was only by merest chance that
Qulgley was apprehended. The prisoner
was arrested on suspicion of being wanted
In St. Louis for raising money orders.
Ap' alleged confederate, named George
F. Windall, wns arrested with htm, but
Is held on a technical charge.
Qulgley fought .against arrest and tried
to get a loaded pistol from his pocket,
but was overpowered by the inspectors,
and It and a quantity of what is believed
to be cocaine was taken from him. His
alleged confederate submitted to arrest,
but denied that they knew each other,
although the Inspectors saw them together.
When told to open his grip, Qulgley pio
tested and said he could not be made to
give it up. It contained a large bundlo
with old newspapers for a wrapping. In
side were found certificates of stock ot
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the Chi
cago, Burlington and' Qulncy Railroad,
New York city stock and other securities
of nggregate face value' of $400,000.
A sight draft for $38,000 drawn on S.
B. Chapln & Co., of New York, by Smith,
Lockhart & Co., of Baltimore, was also
found In the satchel, attached to certifi
cates for 100 shares of "Union Paclda and
100 nhnrefl of Northern Pacific stock.
Chief Postotfice Inspector J. C. Koons
said he believed that the satchel con
tained all the securities which had been
sent from Baltimore in the registered
mall pouches stolen on the New "York
ferryboat. Some of the securities found
In the satchel were mailed from Wash
ington. One of the stolen pouches was
from Baltimore and three were from
Washington. Inspector Koons said that
there had not been time enough to check
up all the securities found In the satchel,
but from early Identification, tonight, he
says that they' are those stolen on the
ferryboat
One theory of the Fostofftce people here
Is that he came on Intending to make a
deal with the persons owning the securi
ties. Thomas F. Benson, who was re
leased in New York today, on ball, on
the charge of stealing some other pouches,
is thought to be a confederate of Qulg
ley. One took the Jewelry and the other
the securities, in the officials' opinion.
Qulgley said that he Is 16 years old
and lives 'In New York, but that he be
longs In RldgeAeld Park. N. J. He is
5 feet 11 inches and weighs about 180.
Windall said ha met Qulgley on the
train. He Is 21 and said he came to
Baltimore for work.
The men are held by the police pending
an investigation.

The demand for ships built on the Del

here. To keep pace, capacities were en

operation last month. The demand con
tinued; the output predicted would still fall
short of the requirements.
It was with a view of helping Phlladel

other link in the chain that binds together
the metropolitan district of Philadelphia.
It was learned today that negotiations
for the erection of the plant have been
