Washington, April 12. ? Official Washington was amazed tonight when a high official of the adminis tration made the statement thai had It not been for the gross careless ness of the war department, or some of Its officers, the raid on Colum bus, New Mexico, by General Villa, woiUd not have occurred and the presence of American troops in Mex ican territory would not have been necessary. The statement comes from a man so high lu the councils of the Washington government that Its accuracy cannot be doubted. information that Villa was pre paring a raid on Columbus was sent to Washington by secret service agents of the department of justice, and that department transmitted to the general staff of the array exactly six days before th^ raid actually oc curred. For some reason the gen eral staff paid no attention to the report that the bandit was preparing to cross the border and the official communication sent by the state de partment was pigeonholed. It 1? said, also, that practically every officer of the 13th cavalry tvh*ch hsd been sent to Columtiua to cnard the border was at DemmlrifT 30 miles from Columbus, on the night or the raid, attending one of the aristocratic army "hops." The absence of these Officers from their post of duty, it 1* claimed. Is respon sible for the large number of Amer ican women and children being mur dered by the ba-ndlta and their esr cape Into the wild region* of their native country.

Army ofHfe!al-? In Texas believe that the Villa puni-j tlve expedition le approaching the ' critical stag*. Danger lies along the; communication line, -which It over 4 00 jnlles long and without adequate' transport service. The troops are known to hare gone. hungry for days and suffered for the Igck of clothing in the high altitudes. With the rainy season due In about a month, when the trails will be Impassible, army officers stated privately that the expedition must have the .free use of the railroads or j e'.so withdraw. The only alterna-1 tive. they said, le to continue pro- ' vislonlng la the iiibbkuI haphazard one and costly manner. Recent com mercial use of the railroad a, they de cla+ed, has afforded Inconsequential relief. It has also been learned here that Dodcfs men and animals lived a ?reek without salt. When a new sup p'y arrived, the men ate It like chil dren do candy. Another detachment ' was without coffee and sugar for ten days. Arrivals from the front say that Carransa soldiers are acting well, but the lower classes are ugly toward the Americans. 8nlping has been resumed along the communlca- 1 tton lines.

This much was made plain when he was told of Carranza's demand for the withdrawal of the United States troops. HAVE THE GOODS ON GERMANY ( By United Press) Paria, April 13. ?

In Letter to President of Natonal Security League, Col onel Slates that Organization Exists Solely as a "Professional Lobby" Charging the National Security League with "lobbyianTHit the *orat kind." Co!. W. C. Itodman has ten dered hi*. resignation to tbH organi zation and, in his correspondence with North Carolina senators and the president of the Security League, brings out some interesting facts re garding the nature of the League. His letters to Senators Simmons and Overman. In part, read as fol lows: "Having rend in the public press, the charges of 'lobbylsm' made by Senator Chamberlain, et als.. with reference to the national guard. 1 beg to enclose herein a printed letter which I have just received from the National Security League. "This, it seems to me, is 'lobby ing* of the most undesirable kind and I suggest if you think proper, that you present It to the senate in rebuttal of 'he charges made against, the officer? of the national guard. I have received many such letters from the National Security league and have received none whatever from the National Guard association. "In connertion with this, 1 take the liberty of enclosing a copy of my letter of resignation forwarded to day. Yours very truly, "WILEY C. RODMAN. "Colonel Second Infantry, N. C< N. G.

Your letter of March 28. is to me the ultimate proof. "In resigning I feel constrained to say that it seems to me that your organization la not founded in the interest of the welfare and protection of our country, but exists solely as a 'professional lobby.' which seeks by every means within It power to con trol and dominate our country, at the same time seeking to impute its own faji'.ts to others.

While disclaiming any responatbil Jty for the Sussex d'saster, Germany admit# submarine attack* on the four otlipr ships that carried Americana. In each case she claims that those attacks were legal and confirm!*!? to international law, with the assur ances heretofore given. American officials, however, take the opposite point of view. They believe that the issue is clear-cut in words of one who is close to the president: "Thia government will act now in a man ner entire 'y satisfactory to the peo ple of this country."

WON'T WITHDRAW AMERICAN TROOPS No Action Has Been Take Upon Car ranza's Note. Message Not Con sidered as an "Ultimatum." (By United Press) Washington, April 13. ? The Mex ican situation, state department of ficials today stated, stands the same as it was. The war department Is taking no steps toward concurring with Oarranza's demand for the withdrawal of the United Slates troops. The expedition is going on ai before, as far as any army men know. I'pon receiving the otlicia! text of C'arranza'H^-note. the depart ment said that there was. no an nouncement to make as yet. Not An Ultimatum. Carranza's note Is in no sense an "ultimatum" or "domand" that the American troops be withdrawn. It WILLIS SCORES ANOTHER VICTORY Joe Willis, the local wrestler, threw Herbert Hartley, welterweight champion of England, in two straight falls at the armory last night. The body sclBsora resulted in the Eng lishman's shoulder being pinned to the mat In both cases. A large frody of fans were present to witness the contest. The outcome of the match was a surprise to many who had seen the: two men wrentle before. At their previous match, the general impres sion appeared to be that the toe hold was the only thing that saved Willis from being thrown. Hartley seem ed to have the better of It In every way. I^ast night, however. Willis was seldom In danger. In spite of the {act that the use of the toe hold was barred. He appeared to have Hart ley completely outclassed. The first fall was secured in R7 minutes and the second In 1 9. L Willis will meet V*Reau of Ply mouth at the IWllmo theatre next Wednesday night h?r the N closing match of the season. The men met before but wrestled for two hours without being able to get a fall. OARRA?fUWTA8 FTRK UPON AWKRIUANft (By United Pram) San Antonio.
