THE MAIL CONTROVERSY IN BRIER
THE United States complains that the allied governments,
Great Britain and France, have been guilty of seizing and
confiscating all kinds of neutral correspondence in ports, forc-
ing neutral ships to enter their own ports for this purpose, sub-
jecting mail to scrutiny, mutilation and irreparable delay, and
have substituted this port seizure and examination for similar
seizure on the high seas which they (the allies) admitted illegal
in a note of February 15.
The United States warns Great Britain and France that these
"lawless practices" must stop and that it will demand compensa-
tion for damages already sustained.
TEUTONS' IBB RECEPTIVE
By Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 23 (10 p. rn., Via
London, May 26, 6:30 p. m.)— Another
visit by Colonel E. M. House to Europe
would come as no surprise to initiated
quarters here. The American rumors
to this effect are regarded as having a
certain basis in fact, although the opin-
ion prevails that the trip would nat-
urally be postponed until after the Na-
tional conventions.
It is hoped here that should Colonel
House pay such a visit he will come
this time as a harbinger of peace, or
at any rate to prepare, if possible, the
foundations for a peace proposal, dif-
ficult as this task is recognized to be.
Ihiring his la*t visit to Europe Colonel
House mnrie no effort anil hail no Invi-
tations toward peace in Iterlin, at any rate,
having perhaps found absolutely adverse
conditions In tile capitals of the nations
hostile to Germany. Presumably also he
had previous information that American
mediation would not be accepted so long
as the I nited States continued to supply
Germany's foes with munitions.
The situation, it may be said, now has
changed. Apparently there is no harm
from either a political or a strategical
standpoint in seeing that Germany would
welcome peace. As Arthur von Gwinner,
the managing director of the Deutsche
Hank in iterlin. stated to the Associated
Press correspondent recently. Germany Is
In the position of a poker player who has
gathered In all the money on the tahle
and naturally is willing to break off jin
all-night session and retire with his win-
nings while the others persist In continuing
in the hope of recouping some of their
losses.
The curds, however, to continue the sim-
ile. are running strongly in the Germans'
favor, it is pointed out. as shown in the
renewed postponement of the long-herahled
Anglo-Trench offensive in the west, rhe
steady, though slow, progress of the crown
prince at Verdun, the victories of the Turks
and finally the crushing results of the
Austrian offensive in the Trentino.
Whether these events are enough to in-
duce the entente allies to retire from what
is looked upon here as a losing game, and
whether the changed tone of the utter-
ances of Premier Asqulth and Sir Kdward
Grey and whai is considered a disavowal
of their Intention to crush Germany as a
nation and commercial rival or dismember
the empire are Indicative r,f reclptivlty to-
ward reasonable peace proposals, Is an un-
certain factor in the reckoning.
The best-posted neutral observers here,
particularly diplomats in touch with the
sentimeni In both camps, are Inclined to
give a negative answer to these questions
and to hold that something further must
occur to convince the entente allies that
the expulsion of the German armies from
occupied territories even with the aid of
the blockaTle and economic pressure. As
one possible means of bringing about this
receptive attitude in entente capitals one
of these neutral diplomats, who is not
suspected of partiality for either side, re-
cently suggested the presentation of evi-
dence gathered by neutral agencies of
Germany's ability to continue the struggle
indefinitely despite the food situation and
other effects of the blockade.
The plan may seem impractical and pos
slhly may be catalogued bv the German
government with the plans of Henry Ford
and other American pacificists, and it is
mentioned only owing to the prominence
of its originator a diplomat of the prac-
tical school, who is the very antithesis of
a dreamer.
GermSny's peace conditions are extremely
moderate in view of the militarv position
of Germany and the entente allies, accord-
ing to opinion here.
That Germany was open to reason re-

WILL PRESS CLAIM FOR LOSSES
By Associated Press. •
• WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—The United States denouncing interfer-
ence with neutral mails has notified Great Britain and France that It can no
longer tolerate the wrongs which American citizens have suffered and continue
to suffer to the "lawless practice" those governments have indulged in and
that only a radical change in policy, restoring the United Slates to its full
rights as a neutral power, will be satisfactory, This notification is given in
the latest American communication to the two governments, the text of which
was made public by the State Department tonight. The time in which the
change must be effected is not specified, but the United States expects prompt
action.
Notice is served that the United States soon will press claims against the
British and French governments for the losses which already have been sus-
tained.
The text of the communication addressed to the British and French am-
bassadors, to whom it was delivered Wednesday, follows:
"I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your excellency's note of
April 3 last, in which are stated the contentions of the British and French
governments in regard to the right to detain and examine parcel and letter
mails en route by sea between the United States and Europe.
"After a discussion of the use of the mails for the transmission of par-
cels and of the limitations to lie placed on 'inviolable mail,' the joint memo-
randum of February 15 closes with the following assertions:
"1. That from the standpoint of the right of visitation and eventual ar-
rest and seizures of merchandise shipped in post parcels needs not and shall
not be treated otherwise than merchandise shipped in any other manner.
"2. That the inviolability of postal correspondence stipulated by the
eleventh convention of The Hague of 1907 does not in any way affect the right
of the allied governments to visit, and, if occasion arise, arrest and seize
merchandise hidden in the wrappers, envelopes or letters contained in the
mail bags.
"3. That through their engagemens and respect for genuine 'correspond-
ence' the allied governments will continue for the present to refrain on the
high seas from seizing and confiscating such correspondence, letters or dis-
patches, and will insure their speediest possible transmission as soon as the
sincerity of their character shall have been ascertained.

iight that Colonel Edward A Millar of
iie Third Field Artillery. Fort Sam Hous-
c»n, will be president of the court, and
•dajor Wanton Winship will be Judge ad-
-o< ate. These were named by the War
jS^artmnnt.
. r:e court martial will be composed of
regular army officers and National Guard
officer®.
It is considered probnble the body will
be in session several da vs. Officers do
not know how many men will be brought
before the court. The number 116 has
been referred to frequently as being the
total of militiamen who 'refused or neg-
lected to present themselevs for muster."
But it has been said at various regimental
headquarters that some of the men who
held back at first have mustered. To
what extent the figure 116 has been de-
creased is not known at headquarters.
There Is an indication that the court-
martials will be met in two ways by the
men charged. It is believed some* will
decide to plead guilty with the prospect
of receiving light sentences. Other* are
•spected to figfit their cases. Grounds for
Continued an Pace Twe.
Eight men of the Texas National Guard
who failed to respond to the call of Presi-
dent Wilson took advantage r»f an order
received from Washington late yesterday
afternoon and signed the muster roll. Cap-
tain James M. Love Jr., mustering offi-
cer, received an order from the Wart De-
partment. to the effect that the men be
given another chance to sign the roll and
enter United States service. As soon as
tiie order was received, Captain Love noti-
fied General Hulen and all companies were
ordered to inform the men of the action
of the Wart Department. The mustering
officer announced that the rolls would be
open and that men could sign at 5 o'clock
and again at the same hour this afternoon.
The men who signed the rolls said that
they believed that a majority of the others
would take advantage of the order to
prevent a court-martial. Secretary «Baker
has said that he has no disposition to
prosecute the men if they now answer
the call and sign the muster roll. That
statement is believed to mean that action
against all who respond now will be
dropped.
At nightfall the Fourth Infantry, which
leaves this morning for the Big Bend dis-
trict, was ready to entrain at a moment's
notice. All heavv and bulky luggage had
been packed and made ready to haul to
the depot. Only the tents were standing
and these cau be struck early and rolled
for transportation. The regiment will move
by battalions. The first battalion is under
orders to entrain at 11 o'clock in the fore-
noon. The second will leave at noon and
the third at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
General Hullen issued an order giving
the following stations of the regiment:
Regimental headquarters, machine gun
company, supply company and Companies
E and G will go to Marfa. This will be the
headquarters of the second battalion in
command of Major C. O. Elliott. Com-
pany H is to be stationed at Presidio and
Company F at Valentine.
Headquarters of the third battalion.

at Marathon. Company I will be stationed
there. Company L is ordered to Sander

Conttiued an Pace Two.
"In reply the Government of the United
States desires to state that it does not
consider that the postal union of 11MXJ nec-
essarily applies to the interference by the
British and French governments with TTie
oversea transportation of mails of which
the Government of the United States com-
plains. Furthermore, the allied powers ap-
pear to have overlooked the admission of
the Government of the United States that
post parcels may be treated as merchan-
dise subject to the exercise of belligerent
rights as recognized by international law.
But the Government or the United States
does not admit, that such parcels are sub
ject to the 'exercise of the rights of police
supervision, visitation and eventual seizure
which belongs to belligerents as to all
cargoes on the high seas' as asserted in the
joint note under acknowledgment.
"It is noted with satisfaction that the
British and French governments do not
claim and in the opinion of this Gov
eminent properly do not claim that their
so called 'blocckade' measures are suffi-
cient grounds upon with which to base a
right in Interfere with all classes of mail
in transit to or from the central powers. On
the contrary, their contention appears to
be that as genuine correspondence *is under
conventional stipulation inviolable' mail
matter of other classes is subject to deten-
tion and examination.
"While the Government of the United
Stales agrees that 'genuine correspondence'
mail is inviolable, it does not admit that
belligerents may search other private sea-
borne mails for any other purpose than to
discover whether they contain articles of
contraband transmitted under sealed cover
as letter mail, though they may intercept
at sea all mails coming out of and going
into ports of the enemy's coasts which are
effectively blockaded. The Government of
the United States, Great Britain and
France appear, however, to be in substan-
tial agreement as to principle. The method
«»f applying the principle is the chief cause
of difference.
SAY AGREEMENT VIOLATED.
"Though giving assurances that they
consider genuine correspondence" to be
inviolable and that they will be true to
their engagements to remain on the high
seas* from seizing and confiscating such
correspondence the allied governments pro-
ceed to derive neutral governments of the
benefits of thes assurances by seizing and
confiscating mail from vessels in port in-
stead of at sea. They compel neutral
ships without case to enter their own
ports or thev induce shipping lines
through some form of duress to send their
mafi ships via British ports or they de-
tain all vessels merely clearing at British
ports, thus acquiring by force or unjusti-
fiable means an illegal jurisdiction. Act-
ing upon this enforced Jurisdiction the
authorities receive mail, genuine corre-
spondence as well as post parcels, take
them to London, where everv piece, even
though of neutral origin and destination,
is opened and critically examined to de-
termine the "sincerity of their character."

bandits, Candelario Cervantes, whose
band has terrorized this section of Mex-
ico for many months and who has been
relentlessly pursued by various detach-
ments forming this expedition, was
killed this morning after he had jumped
a party of engineers.
The attack on the Americans was
made a few minutes after 9 o'clock, as
they were repairing a bad place in the
roads about six miles south of Los
Cruces. It is estimated there were
twenty in the attacking party. Three
Americans were wounded and one died
shortly after being hit. The alarm
was immediately sent to the garrison
at Los Cruces and a company of cav-
alry under Lieutenant B. T. Merchant
of New York, attached to the Thirteenth
Regiment, was sent in pursuit. The
bandits scattered as soon as they were
fired upon by the engineers and fled

WILSON TO VOICE
BELIEVE CRISIS IS NEARING
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—
Two reports of deepest significance
reached Washington tnroug'n unofficial
channels during the day.
One was that General Pershing was
moving his entire command from
Namiquipa to Colonia Dublan, about
half way to the border from his pres-
ent base and something over fifty
miles from Columbus.
The other was that General Obreg)n
had issued a call to arms for all men
of military age "to fight a common
enemy," whether they had fought
against the Constitutionalist cause or
not.
While desiring official information on
Obrcffon'N reported action before making
public comment, many officials privately
admitted that, taken in connection with
other straws, this report gave added cause
for concern.
The cumulative effect of these incidents
is to convince officials that tlie Mexican
sitnntion is fast approaching a crisis, it
is believed matters will come to a head
with the arrival of Carranzu's note next
week.
ZAPATA MORK ACTIVE.
Evidence of the increasing uctlviiy of
Ueueral Zapata reached Washington today.
The Mexican Foreign office has asked the
didlomatir representative of every foreign
cojintry in the City of Mexico to inform It
of the departure by train of their nation
als into the territory infested by Zapa-
tistas. so that escorts may be increased on
the train on which they nre traveling. This
action follows the blowing up of a train
on the Cuernuvaca & Pacific Railroad and
an attendant massacre in which 300 men,
women and children were murdered and
their bodies mutilated three weeks ago.
News of this Zapata exploit reached Wash-
ington today. It is not known whether
any foreigners were on the train, but If
there were, they are declared to have met
the same fate as the other passengers.

dent Wilson Is giving more serious con-
sideration to the possibility of restoring
peace to Europe tlmn at any time since
the outbreak of the war. From an au-
thoritative source It was learned today
that the President is preparing to do

tween belligerent nations, although he has
not indicated his Intention Immediately
to offer his services formally as medi-
ator. His address tomorrow night before
the League to Enforce Peace is expected
to be in the nature of a preliminary over-

nations, both belligerent and neutral.
Through various channels, Mr, Wilson

EL PASO, Tex., May 26.—Three Americans who canie up to the bordei
loday from Chihuahua City, predicted that the Carrancista armies would be
fighting the United States punitive expedition within thirty days.
They based their cock-sure predictions on the unprecedented troop ar-
rivals in Chihuahua City, on the elaborate preparations they saw being made
to equip Trevino's army and on the plentiful fight talk they heard during
their ten days in Chihuahua City. The returning Americans brought this in-
formation:
Forty-seven troop trains have jammed into Chihivihua City in the past
ten days.
These trains have brought tipproximatcly 30,000 troops from the south
to the north.
Artillery Accompanies Troops
Four trains of artillery have accompanied the rush of Carrancista
troops to the frontier. One of the arriving Americans said he personally
counted fifty-six pieces of artillery on incoming trains. He estimated the
equipment of artillery in Trevino's command close to 100 pieces.
"I had never dreamed before" he said, "that there was all that artil-
lery in Mcxico. But I saw enough of it with my own eyes to be convinced."
Chihuahua City was greatly excited over the situation, said the Ameri-
:ans. The government-owned press of the State Capital had lately broken
loose with one anti-gringo screed after another, and the populace were do-
ing their part to make life disagreeable for the few lingering Americans
there.
The day before the Americans left Chihuahua City, the government
press published a tirade accusing the American Government of breaking
faith with Mexico in sending another punitive expedition into the country.
One of the Americans had a few minutes' conversation with General
Trevino.
"You can take it from me,' said this American," that there will be hos-
tilities within a short time. I don't often make predictions—I've been
through these border criscs before—but I saw enough and heard enough while
I was in Chihuahua'to convince me that unless the United States troops are
withdrawn the Carranza forces will open up on them. They are getting ready
for action; they are nearly ready. All of them, from generals to tenientes,
expect a fight."
C apital Newspapers Are Bitter

CITY OF MEtXICO, May 2(\—The newspapers, in editorials today, make *
savage attack on the policy of the United States in Latin-America, which they
denounce as imperialistic and hypocritical. Colonel Roosevelt is charged witn
altempting to foment war and the papers assert that President Wilson is un-
able to cope with this "campaign of the Republican party." One of the prin-
cipal administration organs says:
"The Mexican nation cannot permit itself to be made the tool of Yanked
felony or submit to the corruption of American gold. The American conspira-
tors are aided by the machinations of Mexicans who desire to see General
Scott in the National Palace, tutor of a government presided over by Calero,
