Pres!dent Y7Dsqn bas so decided and" formal connutsaicatTon. setting forth -wttSr a wealth of detail what - the United States regards as Improper action by German U-boat officers, is now being drafted. It -will be considered and probably approved at tomorrow's cabinet session at which time the German reply claiming privilege in the staking of various vessels and denying responsibility for the disaster to the Chancel steamer Sussex will be discussed. The United States will not accept the German claim that the Sussex was not torpedoed. The report of the sabmarine commander insisting that he attacked a mine layer at the time and place where the Sussex was attacked is held by the president and his ad riser: to complete a circumstantial case against Germany. The submarine commander says that the vessel he attacked was struck ' well forwacd and smashed back as far as the bridge. All of the evidence at hand shows that this is just what happened to the Sussex. The attention-of Germany will be directed to this fact and at the i same time it will be set forth that ; American lives were endangered ruthi lessly and without warrant. It was made plain at the white

FUNSTON HOLDS GARRANZA MEN FIRED ON ARMY

AN ANTONIO, April 13. General

Funston is very suspicious that the

"citizens" who fired on the American cavalry at Parral yesterday were Carranzistas. General Guiterrez made a rather elaborate explanation that the arrival of the Americans was a surprise but this is regarded here as strange In view of the fact that the

United States soldiers have been in the vincinity of Parral for narly a week. " General Pershing has not yet reported on the Parral affray and Funston has been unable to learn whether any Americans or Mexicans were killed or wounded. -' General Funston expects no official notification from Washington of the Carranza demand for the withdrawal of the American troops. Washington will saw wood and I will saw wood here," said. No preparations for an sensational developments are being made at Fort Sam Houston. It is believed at Funston's headquarters that there will be a prolonged interchange of notes before any action is decided on.

fccrsa tcdsy that the proposed com

munication to Berlin will not be open to discussicfl ox lengthy diplomatic exchange. In many respects, it is said, it will resemble an ultimatum in that it will insist that tne United States will no longer tolerate a violation of pledges. The case of the United States will be presented in dear terms showing the accumulation of cases in which submarines have violated existing international law and will take issue with the German claims that freighters can be sunk without provision being made for the safety of their crews.

MEXICAN TROUBLES INJURES HIS TRADE WRITES JOHANNING

In a letter to Mark Johanning, of this city, Ray Johanning,, son of H. H. Johanning, South C street, . asserts that business in El Paso, Tex., is being threatened by conditions arising from, the Mexican situation. Johanning, who is in the plumbing business at El Paso, writes that much Carranza money is being circulated in El Paso and surrounding cities. Mexicans accept the money at its face value. True worth of the Carranza money is but half that of United States money- Citizens of El Paso, Johanning writes, are becoming alarmed over the situation.

AMERICAN TROOPS PLACED UNDER FIRE

REFUSES TO COMMENT

SAN ANTONIO, April 13. Major general Funston refused to comment on the Carranza government demand for the withdrawal of American troops in Mexico. He declared he would have nothing to say until he hears from Washington.

SAN ANTONIO. April 13 Anieri

can soldiers were fired upon at Parral yesterday. Major General Funston was officially notified of the matter today. The report to him, however, made no mention of casualties.

ARGUE OVER RECORD IN LIPSCOMB CASE

Argument arose this morning between attorneys in' the Lipscomb estate-Standard Oil case when a motion was made to correct the clerk's record. Recent action was taken to appeal the case to the supreme court of the state bnt there were serveral minor .errors in the record. The trouble started over the fact that Judge Fox, it was said by Ray K. Shiveley, attorney for the estate, had failed to sign his name to a petition. The record will be straightened out and the case taken to the higher court.

ENGLISH FLEET IS AT KIRKWALL

NEW YORK, April 13. The whereabouts of the grand home fleet of England was definitely located for the first time when the ScandinavianAmerican liner Frederick III arrived here today. Among the passengers on board was E. C. Evans of Des Moines, la., who said that England's fleet consisting of one hundred warships, is plying at Kirkwall, Scotland. A naval officer told Mr. Evans that they expect a combined fleet and airship attack by Germany, which will surpass any single conflict in the history of the world. The British are thoroughly prepared to meet it. Nearly six hundred bags of mail were seized on the Frederick by the British naval authorities.

Cigarette factories have been established in China, but more particular smokers prefer a .United States brand mark.

SUSSEX ALIBI FAILS

LONDON, April 13. That tGermany's attempt to prove an alibi with reference to the channel liner Sussex had completely failed was the unanimous opinion expressed in the British press and in official circles today. The admiralty records show it is asserted, that no other vessel was torpedoed in the vicinity of the spot where the Sussex was blown up and therefore the official statement from Berlin conflicts with British opinion.

HORSE KILLS OWNER

PERU, Ind., April 13. A few minutes after a $500 insurance policy was handed to Oral M. Baker today, he was kicked to death by his horse. Baker was a prominent horseman.

Some military experts profess to see much less use of cavalry in the possibilities by which an entire army of infantry may be rushed to a given point with motor truck transport. They predict that, after the present war, the horse will largely vanish from one of his most ancient fields of endeavor. This theory was tested by Ohio national guardsmen over the admirable system of brick paved highways which radiate from Cleveland. They

found that a speed of twenty or more miles an hour could easily be maintained " in the movement of a considerable body of troops. Under these conditions many of -the ordinary problems of a military campaign disappear. If wood and water are lacking at a camp site, both commodities are easily brought. Field pieces can be hauled behind such vehicles at a speed determined by the ability of the gun carriage to withstand the vibration. The exist-

of 2,500,000 motor vehicles

ence

America has led to the suggestion of a motor, militia, to . be armed with machine guns, a force which could be concentrated with deadly rapidity in case of attempted invasion. A part of such-a plan would be system of paved highways leading to points of vantage and enabling complete resistance against landing forces at close range. These highways would of course be more than a mere. military investment, having all the utility jf market highways in times of peacs". :
