By Robert J. Bender. i I'nited Press staff correspondent.) Washington, April 22. There is lit tle hope in Washington that Germany will meet fully the, American submarine demands. That was apparent today. The interview which Carl W. Acker man, I'nited Tress stff correspondent, obtained with Admiral Von lloltzen di.rff furnished the state department with its first definite line on the Gor man attitude. Some officials concluded that modification of Wilson's demands would be the only chance of avoiding a break mid modification is out of the question, they said. The administration is leaving Oer Jiiany to decide whether she can concfuet her submarine operations effectively without violutitng international law. Secretary Lansing feels that if (lermaa submarine commanders visit mid search vessels before attacking them, aio as sure the safety of passengers on doom ed ships, the campaign will be robbed of its dostruotivouesj and hence of its effectiveness. If (formally ngrees to 'follow the visit, search and safety of passengers pro visions America may nefept her assur roves, but Germany' must adhere to its pledges. The problem there is: Will G.-nunny abandon her present method of submarining which imi-t be the first step toward a policy healing strained relations with the I'iiited States. Got Ready to Leave.

In order to prevent the loading down of the army mails with Faster gifts this year, the German military authorities have caused notice to be published in the press reminding the soldiers' relatives and friends that such things will not tie forwarded. The notice also informs the peo ple that, with all due recogni tion of the spirit of good-will prompting these girts, the send ing of articles thur easily spoil, such as eggs, sausages, etc., would not be in accordance with the strict economy demanded, by the present state of affairs. Vcn Igefs Papers, If He Is An Official, Place Germany In Bad Light Washington, April 22. The German embassy expects to receive today or to morrow instructions from Berlin with regard to additional representations concerning the arrest of Wolf Von Igel, former secretary to Captain Franz on Papon, embassy attache, and seizure of his papers by United States secret agents. The embassy intimated that this situ ation is so serious that it may perhaps warrant Germany recalling Ambassador Von Bcrnstorff. Germany, it was Ilia" ed, would at least ask a formal apology from the state department. The papers seized from Von Igel ar rived at Washington today. No photo graphic copies of them were surrender ed, however. The latter he L'li'ted States marshal refused to ;iv; un wi'h out a specific order to return ull evi dence in the case. No sr.-k order has boon issued yet. Von Igel was arrested in connection with the federal investigation 1' alleged German bomb plots. YALE WON JUNIOR EIGHT Philadelphia, April 22. Yale this af ternoon won the junior varsity eight boat rrtce from the I'niversity of Pennsylvania by half a length.' icaus are preparing to close their af fairs and leave Germany on two days' notice if diplomatic relations with the I'nited States are severed, it is kuowu today. A number have arranged to come to Holland and leave their affairs in neutral hands in Berlin. Others, however, intend to remain in Germauy even though relutions be severed, feci ing confident that war will not result. There has been no exodus of Amei icans since the latest submarine crisis developed. Several Americans here post poned going to Berlin pending the out come of the recent events. About SOU Americana are in Germany. Those leaving would probably concentrate in Berlin and go to Holland on a special train. German-American excitement is up parently subsiding. The feeling is grow ing that Germauy will either yield im mediately or maneuver to prevent aa edy rupture in diplomatic relations. AUSTRIA FAVORS YIELDING Pome, April 22. Austria will exert pressure on Germany to prevent a break with the I'nited States, it was learned from neu tral diplomats today rather than have a severance of diplomatic relations. Austria's influence, it is declared, caused Germany's "back down'' in the Ancuua case. Mexican Rumor Factory Works Three Full Shifts By E. T. Conklo (United l'res Staff ( orrespondent.)

IB FIND WARM CAMP, TAKE Gang Thought To Be That of General Cervantes, 109 In Number LIEUTENANT FIRED ON IN SUBURBS OF NAMIQUIPA Small Bands of Yiilistas Show Themselves Boldly Near Parral :! WOMAN IN THE CASE Namiquipa, ilex., April 22. General Cervantes, Villistn chief, now held responsible for the raid ou Cuximbus, held trysts with his sweetheart in Jiamiquipa almost under the nose of sentries at General Pershing's headquarters. An- other woman, jealous, told the storv and Cervantes fled to tlio hills'. :. 5' By H. D. Jacobs. (I'nited Press staff correspondent.) Namiquipa, Mex., by wireless to Coi uiubus, N. M., April 22. Following tic receipt of one of the numerous re ports that Villistn bands were in the neighborhood, American cavalrymen found a warm camp believed to be thu of General Cervantes and 80 or 100 men. They captured four V nMstos and a num ber of horses, but wore unablo to ovoi take the main force, it was learned to day. An orderly and a first lieutenant, tid ing on a motorcycle, were fired ou in the outskirts of Namiquipu. Since tha Parral clash, increased animosity to Americans is evident, among the na tives. Menace Not Removed. By H. D. Jacobs. (United Press staff correspondent.; Namiquipa, Mex., April 22 (By wire less to Columbus.) The menace frora Francisco Villa and his bandits is no: believed to have been removed by ihe American expedition's operations. Hardly a day passes that small bands are not sighted and reported. Within narrowed limits since the Parral clash the quest for Villa continues. Many wild and contradictory stories have been received. Some say VilU js dead and some say he is alive. T!i report that he is dead and that his bsdy will be brought from somewhere in Mex ico over the Mexican Northwestern rn'l way for identification is not credited. While there is no news of the Par ral situation, no concern is felt for the position of advanced detuchments near est the scene of the suspected Cnrruu zista trap. The jagged defiles and canyons in this region are ideal hiding places fo" the Villistas. A band can remain un discovered until reconnoitering parties fairly stumble upon them. But the Villistas have evidently had their fill of American marksmanship in the two or three clashes w hich hav occurred already, and they keep out of harm's wav. ARGUMENT NOT BATIiIED Washington, April 22. The bill to ratify the agreement between the Washington ami Oregon fishery laws ou the Columbia river was practically hilled today when thp senate fisheries committee deadlocked on it, the voto resulting i" a lie. I b'e olulionists stationed in America were reported active despite the oper ations of the United States secret sor- 'vice. The revolutionary movement of Felix Diaz is believed to be the most foniiicl.ible. lie apparently has unlim ited backing, and is awaiting the - American expedition withdrawal. It was reported that both Carrana and Din:', had used Gorman money. Charges that Germ ins inspired the Vil listn raid, on Columbus brought from Consul Garcia .i statement that he had heard reports that Germans financed Villa to cause a war between the Unit ed St.ites and Mexico so that America nvouhl keep out of the Luropcau con llict. Ua'cia said Mexican secret ser vice agents were investigating this. The rumors are not confirmed. Villa has apparently escaped from danger of immediate rapture. If he has not re t' hed Southern Mexico by this time it is because he preferred to ,stay within tantalizing distance of the I expedition. FOUR PRISONERS THE POPE'S MESSAGE "PEACE BE WITH YOU' New York, April 22. The pope 's . Faster message to the United States was cabled from Porue through Cardinal Caspar ri, papal secretary of state, to the United. Press today. It follows: (Copyright 1910, by the United Press; copyright in Great Britain.) "The I'nited Press, New York: Peace ' be with you." These sweet words which the Risen Saviour spoke to the Apostles, the Holy Father read dressed to all men. May the nations at peace preserve it, thanking God for so great a blessing. May those at war presently, laying down the sword, end the slaughter dis honoring Europe and all human ity. ' Prices Broke Badly In Stock Market Today New York, April 22. The New York Kvening Sun's financial review today said: What had every appearance of a carefully planned and wel( executed bear raKf-sivaa responsible for a severe break in prices on the stock exchange today. The street resumed business after the Friday intermission with the depressing news of little or no possi bility of a modification in Germany's submarine iiolicy calculated to avert a severance of diplomatic relations. Jn addition, long continued declines and weaki(y margined accounts weakened the market's technical position. First prices were lower with losses reaching to one point or more in issues like Studebaker Corporation, Baldwin Before the end of the first hour re cessions -of from two to l'ive points were common on the specialty list. Selling relaxed slightly toward the end of the first hour and some prices hardened on profit taking, but pres sure was resumed in the closing half session, influencing heavy liquidation. While this was centered in industrial specialties, munitions stocks and Mex ican issues, is afro--,, the entire list. The attendance wu meager and a lack of. buying power contributed to the success of the selling movement. Other influences unsettling the market wore Japan 's protest on the immigra tion bill and the Sonorn governor's cancellation of franchise granting con cessions to foreigners.

Flame projectors were also used against the north front of Caurette wood. Violent fighting developed along the Mouse north and northeast of Verdun following a heavy shelling by batteries of both sides. The Germans attempted to take trenches in front of I f ort Vaux prior to mining a i nai 'e against the fortress itself, which is sit- tinted on a stony height, but the guns of Vaux and connecting works pre-i vented the Teutons from emerging trom their bomb proofs. Artillery caused heavy losses among a few companies of Germans that scrambled out of their defenses only to be blown back into them again. The fact that there is no shortage in French artillery despite the vast num ber of guns that have been massed at Verdun was demonstrated, the war of fice pointed out, by the fact that scores of batteries were rushed to.ihe assist ance of the British in the recent battle between Ypres and Pillicken. Von Dor Goltz Dead. T-ondon. April 22. The death of Field Marshal Von Der Goltz, commander-in-chief of the first Turkish army and supervisor of the sultan's military establishment was a severe blow to Turkey's armies, critics here said to day. Perlin announced that he died of spotted fever at Turkish headquarters. He was ill ten days. Many regarded him as Germany's greatest soldier, despite the reverses the Turks suffered after he had recon structed their tinny. Ho also organized Germany's secret defenses on the Rus sian border. Von Der Goltz personally was a bluft man, fearing no superiors. He was not a favorite of the kaiser. Soon nftcr the war started he served for a short time as military governor of Belgium.
