TWO RENEWED REPORT ; OF VILLA'S DEATH Rumor is Persistent Among Peons in Chihuahua of ) Bandit's Death MEXICANS CALLED TO REPEL INVADERS \ Incendiary Proclamation at Parral Supi^lying' the Troops. ft] Paso, Texas.?The growing beV.'i' til:>t ftrimrisi'n Vilbi is: <losiil v.fceth or 01* not his body lias been re1 ?verod, is strengthened by messages yccirved liy Anieriemi mining concerns here from their agents at C'l&ihiiiriachic, Parral, Santa Barbara and Guerrero. All of these messages agreed that iAie report of Villa's death was eomr>un among the peons in northern Chi>.itnhua and was generally accepted as 1*iie. One very circumstancial story ?w nt, to the head of a mining concern! operating in the Guerrero district by } is MeKicnn superintendent, was pos-, ytr.ve that Villa had been buried in the! neighborhood of San Francisco I.?orja,j Ihe hamlet, where the grave of the bandit has been reported found. His rlory gave a number of details regard ivg Villa's death, but it was discount-) ?.:] by the fact that it related to the al-| #<ged murder of an American woman l .v the bandit just prior to his death, j A* all American women who havej been in northern Chihuahua during j pcest year have been accounted for. tnUo credence was given to tliis feature of the story. Toe alarmist here have seized on a proclamation issued in j IVii-ral, calling on a!I Mexicans to lcrate t? resist the American invaders j and wsMpurting to have been issued by | Gift. Obrcgon, Secretary of War. As fftsiilar proclamations appear almost daily in Juarez and are suppressed by. Gen. Gavira as speedily as they ap-j Uniil-e attention was paid by men fiwtfr Mexico to this latest proclamation. Reports b'om Chihuahua say absolute quiet reigns in the State capital, jiwi thai there has been no signs of J>?*:tniUes toward the American, especially as it lias been reported that the United States soldiers were being j, withdrawn from Mexico. li to returTTpapers german embassy': ? - t? ... !' I |; Washington, April 21.?The State Justice Departments today an- , XHiumrcd the government's willingness ' to return to the German embassy all | papers seized in New York with tb e arrest of Wolf von Igel, which j Count von Bernstorff will identify as official. i*hotographs of the seized documents have been made and will be retained. . Count von Bernstorff has protested Vigorously against the taking of the papers and it was said at the State Department, that Secretary Lansing vas considering the necessity of an official apology. Should the ambassador assert that all the documents are official, it is understood that they will all be leturned tc him. It was said to L< the present intention of the officials to keep all the photographic copies. Officials were interested today in learning if Count von Berntrtorff would declare any documents to >*: the property of the Germany embassy. The papers were said to disclose several subjects of an unusual vmtnre which had not before come to the attention of this government. Definite connection with the German embassy would be confirmed, it was believed, by a declaration that the documents are official, if none of the) documents ?ire declared official, it wn* understood that the United States will use thern all in the prosecution of von his associates and possibly oth*Krs as yet unnamed. Whether Secretary Lansing would nr.nil a note to Ambassador Bernstorff cr.presaing regret, for the seizure was ?trt announced, but such action is believed probable. It also was suggested that the State Department might dtel&y action until the result of the eibmttfine dispute with Germany as vaicd a defnite state.

Since the outbreak of the war, 3,171 non-combatants have lost their lives in maritime disasters due to mines 01 to submarines of hostile nations. The French again have taken the offensive in the Verdun- battle and launched attacks against the German lines on the right bank of the Meuse. The Greek government has made a formal protest to the entente allies against the establishment of a naval base in Suda Buy 011 the northern coast of Crete. Russia has come- to the aid of France and Great Britain in the great struggle on the western front, sending a strong force of troops to fight wii:? the allies there. Some officials expressed the belief fU.,4 * . umi um uiiiumi states must wait and sec what happens beyond the border before it could determine greatly to increase the American forces there. An army reorganization bill that would produce regular army and reserve military forces in the United States aggregating 1,000,000 men was passed by the senate last week without a record vote. Legislation repealing the free sugar clause of the tnrilT*, which was to have become effective May 1 next, will be enacted immediately by Congress. Alienists who spent more than an hour examining Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, confessed slayer of his fatherin-law, John E.

As the result of the seizure of Gorman and Austrian subjects aboard the China maiT liner China last February while bound from Shanghai for the United States the intelligence department on the British government claims to have uncovered a plot of immense ramifications conducted with the purpoes of creasing a revolution in India. The milling interests of the Northwest have assailed and asks for the withdrawal of the recent report of Dr. Kupcrt Blue, surgeon general of the United States pubfic health service declaring that highly milled bleached flour in common use is deprived by milling elements of nutrition and often deficient in essential food substances.. TREBIZONOS FALL ENTHUSES PARIS Paris?Paris received with great enthusiasm the news of the fall of Trebizond. This event was looked for, but it was thought the Russians would b ; able to capture the city so quickly. The political as well as the military consequences are expected to be most important, particularly in view of the fact that Turkey has lost one of the most valuable ports of Asia Minor at a time when, according to reports reaching Paris, Germany is weakening her forces in the Balkans to carry on attacks on the western front. French military writers state that the plan of campaign of Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian commander. was a daring one, which at first was looked upon as fool hardy, but now is fully justified. The grand duke decided to advance boldly to the attack on this front where maneuvers of war fare were possible, while the other fronts were still held in deadlock. Excluding the operations on the Per sian front, Grand Duke Nicholas, in this campaign against an experienced and stubborn foe, has to his credit the storming of ten cities in less than two months. n For Sprains, Lameness, Sores, Cuts, Rheumatism Penetrates and Heals.
