BANDIT VILLA DEAD; BODY IS EXHUMED Persistent Mexican Reports Say Carranzaistas Have Corpse. VERACITY OE RUMOR STILL DOUBTED A Joke With An Afterthought. PRESIDENT WILSON FRAMES VIRTUAL ULTIMATUM 10 BERLIN GOVERNMENl Washington, D. C.— Preaidant W il son completed his indictment of Ger many Tuesday for her submarine oper ations and it will go forward at once to Berlin. The communication, according to those who have seen it, will leave nothing to the imagination. It is vir tually an ultimatum without a time limit for response. As thg alternative of refusal to make thorough reparation and give complete guarantees that submarine operations hereafter shall be conducted in accordance with the principles o f humanity and interna tional law, Ambassador Gerard will be withdrawn from Berlin. It develops that the President has been considering three courses to pur sue with reference to Germany. They are: 1. To present all the facts in pos session of this government to Germany and to demand an explanation of how that nation can square its deeds with its promises. 2. To send a note reciting that Germany has violated the solemn as surances made to the United States, and notifying her that unless prompt reparation be made Ambassador Ger ard will be withdrawn. 3. To break off relations without discussion. It is not understood the President is prepared at this moment to adopt the third proposal. It is the second which appeals to him and which probably will meet with his approval. A newspaper humorist quotus this from a letter received by one of the Georgia congressmen: "M y youngest sou has run away and enlisted lu the regular army. I can’t get hint out. Won't you help me? He la a good boy and I was raising hint for tny own use." In one sense this Is a Joke— a Joke upon the father, who was bringing up the boy to get as much work out of hltn as possible— and the young sol dier probably has chuckled over It iii. ie than u ii ybody else. But the story Is more serious than humorous. This boy ran away to escape three or four years of hard labor for his father’s profit.
