War Conference In Paris Is Attended
By Premiers and Military
Chiefs.
PARIS. March 29. The notable
conference of the military arfd civil
chiefs of the governments of the
entente allies at which momentous
questions regarding the war were
taken up for consideration and de-
cision ended today.
Never perhaps have deliberations
so important had so little written
about them. Thirty-seven persons
took part yet the proceedings are
understood to have gone forward
without the least confusion because
the subjects to be" considered had
been worked 0t in advance by each
of those whose Judgment on any mili-
tary; political or economic question
was to be submitted.
The conference separated into
groups according to the questions to
be determine'd this procoes facilita-
ting the reaching of common under-
standings. The declslng of the conference
have the force of the decisions of the
respective governments because each
with the exception of Russia wa3 rep-
resented by its principal ministers
and generals.
The delegates will leave tonight
and tomorrow in the same silent and
unobstrusive way that they assembled.
Premier Asqulth and Field Marshal
Earl Kitchener will visit Italy before
returning to London.

OF VILLA CHASE

WireitE PEOPLE A HE HIS
FUIEXDS A"XI) ALLIES
.SAN ANTONIO March 29. Fran-
cisco Villa was moving towards San-
ta Catarinain the Santa Naria valley
fo'ur. days ago according to a report
received by General Funston here this
morning. General Pershing said the
residents of the valley appeared to be
frleadly to Villa which is giving the
American scouts difficulty in team-
ing Villa's movements.
As to the details of the actual chase
General Funston knows but little
more than the public. The advanced
columns of General Pershing's ex-
pedition have been cut up into small
dctachnrelUs and these are engaged
In beatingthe coverts for Pancho V1U-
la." Necessarily the danger of being
ambushed is always present No en-
gagements have yet taken place ac-
cording: to announcements at headquar-
ters. General Funston has asked for four
more companies of motor trucks
which will make 270 of these vehicles
m U8Cj provided his latest demand Is
granted.
11 the state department would de
termine the railway question It would
remove about 75 per cent of the diffi-
culties the Pershing men hnve to ov-
ercome. Unofficial remarks about the
delay nre eloquent but are deleted
by prudence.

SHIPPING BILL IS
URGED BY WILSON
President Insists or Some Measure
to Relieve the Freight
Congestion.
WASHINGTON
March
29. Presl-
dent Wilson has written to
Demo-
cratic LeWer Kitchin of the house
urging consideration of the-ishipping
bill and the resolution for the in-
vestigation of railway transportation
conditions. The railroad resolution )
was not included in the legislative
program laid h'efore the democratic
caucus last week.
The president's letter1 to Mr.
Kitchin said:
"It would seem as if the whole
movements of our trade and industry
waited on satisfactory solutions of
our problems of transportation.
"That Is tho reason why it seeaas
to me that the shipping bill shoaM
he pressed to an early passage and
I write today to express the hope
that the senate Joint resolution for
the Investigation of transportaion
by railway may find an early open-
ing In the business of the house for
Its consideration.
"The railways of the country are
becoming more and more the key
to its successful industry and it
seems to me of capital Importance
that we should lay a new ground
work of actual facts for the neces
sary future regulation."
STEAMER SERVICE
IS RE-ESTABLISHED
GALVESTON March 29. Regular
steamship servlco between Galveston
and Puerto Mexico was re-established
today "by the arrival from the Mexican
port of the steamer Fort Morgan of
tho Gulf Coast Emit and Steamship
Company. 'f
AFFIDAVITS ARE FILED STATJXG
THAT .ENGLISHMAN WAS TOR-
PEDOED AND SHELLED
J
RELATIONS MAY BE SEVERED
Washington Officials Fear That Diplo-
matic Breach May Result
From Situation.
WASHINGTON March 29. Affi
davits secured at Liverpool from three
survivors; of the British horse ship
Englishman 3ays the vessel was tor-
pedoed arid shelled by a German sub-
marine according to the State De-
partment which has received advices
on the matter today. The factjhat
the vessel was shell leads officials
here to believe that the ship might
have tried to escape.
If a German submarine attacked
either the Sussex or the Englishman
it is- admitted -that the resultant sit-
uation will be more serious.
An official but authoritative
statement; has been made that Ger-
many if it was found that one of her
submarines torpedoed the Sussex im-
mediately would offer reparation
punish the submarine commander and
take steps to satisfy the TJnitel
States that t he act was a viola-
tion of instructions. While official
expression of opinion was withheld
it was intimated that should such
a development occur the position
of the United States would not be
defined until- it was known that
the men responsible for violat-
ing the right of humanity the
principles of international law and
f the solemn assurances given by Ger-
many actually had been pynlshed.
Until now the administration has
not decided just what acUon would
be taken If Germany fldBfc denies
that any of its submariiBcas con-
cerned in either caseHkythough
the circumstantial evifjpKreceived
cleaTly Indicates the coiifety.
Relations Xay Be Severed.
Such a state of affairs officials
say. will be met when It arises. If
future developments should cause the
president ' to determine that the
breaking off of diplomatic relations
with Germany Is necessary he would
go 1 before congress announce his
decision and explain the facts lead-
ing up to It.
While the president has full au-
thority to break off relations- he
realizes that such an act almost inev-
itably would lead to war and there-
fore would feel himself obligated to
inform congress the war making
body of the government before tak-
ing such a step.
Among high officials of the ad-
ministration there appears to be a
difference of opinion regarding the
course the United States should pur-
sue should Germany deny responsi-
bility for the attacks and the Amerl-
Lpan government find convincing evi
dence that they were the work of
German submarines. Some officials
believe that in such circumstances
the accumulation of offenses against'
the United States would Justify the
severance of diplomatic relations.
Others do not feel that such action
would be justified.
FREHCE Oaifl Ml
JW ON GERMANS
The French forces at Verdun last
night launched a. heavy attack on the
German lines in the Avoncourt woods.
There was' force enough to drive the.
Germans from a part of their posi-
tions according to Paris reports to-
day. The Germans promptly made
a counter attack but were driven back
with losses.
The German statement says the
French jwsltlons north of Malancourt.
several lines deep along a front two
thousand metres long have been
stormed by the Germans. v
There is desperate fighting akg
