London. That cotton ia kept from Germany and Austria Just aa effect ively as If Jt were declared absolute contraband, is the tenor of a reply ad dressed by Attorney General Simon to a conference of chemists and engi neers who asked whether the Govern ment's action was sufficient to make it certain that no cotton reaches those countries.' "The Attorney General ventures to suggest that those for whom you write may be under some misappre hension either as to the law of con traband or as to the steps which in fact are being taken under the order In council of March 11. The steps being taken under authority of that order in council have been extremely effective in stopping cotton from reaching Germany and the declara tion " of cotton as contraband would not alter the result in the very least so far as preventing cotton reaching Germany is concerned. "If an article is declared absolute contraband, it can be stopped from going to a German port and can be stopped even from going to an adjoin ing neutral port, if It is in course of transit through that neutral port to an enemy country. These are exactly the circumstances In which, under the order in council any article can be stopped, whether it is contraband or not, and of course, this order in council is being pt into force In all proper cases. "To imagine that since March 11 anything can be gained so far as stopping the entrance of cotton into Germany is concerned by calling it contraband is, in effect, to suppose that a blockade is rendered more ef fective if you add that specified con traband articles will not be allowed to break that blockade. A blockade stops all articles whether they are contraband or not, therefore any ad ditional rulings would ret have any practical consequences. What Is true of Germany of course, is equally true of Austria. ' "Your memorialists no doubt will readily believe that there may be good reasons of .quite a different kind for not making cotton contraband in view of the precendent which would thereby be created, but as a practical matter in the present war any stop page of cotton secured by calling it contraband is equally secured by the order in council." GENERAL HERRERA KILLED. Killed by OwnMen Who Mistook Them For Villa Troops. Laredo, Tex. Gen. Maclovia Her rera, Carranza commander at Nuevo Laredo, opposite here, was killed by his own men, who mistook him and his for Villa troops, according to. in formation received here by Gen. R. K.

Fifteen persons were killed and about 20 Injured in a collis ion between a Detroit city street car and a string of fright cars pushed by a switch engine on the Detroit, To ledo & Ironton Railroad. ' Most of the dead lived in Detroit's foreign quarter. Four are women. The street car, crowded with pas sengers, stopped as it approached the railroad crossing and the conductor ran ahead to see if the- track was clear. He signalled the motorman to wait, but apparently the latter mis understood his meaning. He applied the power and the car ran rapidly down an incline and onto the railroad tracks.' . The freight cars pushed by the engine struck the street car fairly .In the middle. The wreckage was push ed along 100 feet, several of the dead and injured dropping along the street before the train was stopped. Others were crushed in the splintered mass of steel and wood and it was several hours before they could be extricated. ; Kaiser Visits in Italy. Geneva, via Paris.

Washington.' State department offi cials were prepared to take up with the German government the last step necessary to supply American textile mills with two 'cargoes of German dyestuffs bought before March 1. The way was cleared by the k announce ment that Great Britain had agreed to permit these cargoes under certain conditions to come through from Rot terdam.. The position previously taken by the German government has been that it would permit dye shipments In exchange for cotton or copper. ; Gen. Funston at Brownsville. Brownsville, Texas. Major General Frederick Funston, who has Just ar rived here from San Antonio to take charge of the border situation created by the siege of Matamoros, said his coming was due to reports that the Villa artillery was advancing and that the fighting might be expected to reach a climax soon. The day passed, how ever, with no bomliftrdment of Mata moros. the only f ""r rpportpl be- heard from t' e r.-u 71' l At Least. 80 Bombs are Sent Down Raiders Keep Away From All Large Cities. London. England experienced its third hostile air raid within 48 hours, but the last, like the others resulted in no loss of life and no serious dam age to property. Taking advantage of fine weatheT which enabled Zeppelins to visit the vicinity of the Tyne and the coasts of Suffolk and Essex early, a German aeroplane flew over the county of Kent, dropping bombs. In all, four missiles were dropped in the vicinity of the towns of Faversham and Sit tingbourne, the latter Just across the Bugle from the Isle of Sheppey, which is the birthplace of the British Royal Naval Flying Corps. All the bombs fell in fields. From Slttlngbourne the aeroplane flew over tfie Isle of Sheppey and it is thought probable the raider mis took the towns attacked for Sheer ness, the British naval base, which is on the other side of the island. On his way the airman passed over Can terbury and other towns in Kent but did not drop any explosives upon or near them. Zeppelins, for it is believed two visited East Anglla during the early hours dropped some 25 incendiary and explosive bombs on Lowestoft, South wold, Maldon, Burnham-on-the-Crouch, Heybrtdge and Tlllingham, but like the raid of the previous night on the Tynemouth district there was only sltght damage, although many persons had narrow escapes. In Lowestoft a bomb dropped in a garden, shattered a row of small houses and persons sleeping in them were cut by broken glass. During the three raids at least BO bombs were sent down by the Ger mans. The raiders kept away from the larger towns. - There they might have been discovered by searchlights and come under fire from the land. GOVERNMENT WILL ANSWER. Date for Hearing In the Rlggs Bank Case 8et for May 12. Washington. With almost a month In which to prepare for the next ap pearance in court, counsel for the gov ernment in the injunction proceedings against treasury officials brought by the Riggs National Bank laid plans to make full answer to all charges set forth in the complaint. Justice McCoy in the District of Co lumbia Supreme Court set May 12 ae the date when the government must answer charges that Secretary Mc Adoo and Comptroller of the Currency Williams have conspired to wreck the bank. Counsel for the government asked for a postponement and counsel for the bank said they were ready to proceed at any time. Gorgas Can't Go. . Washington. Secretary Garrison made it plain he would oppose Major General Gorgas' going to Serbia for the Rockefeller Foundation to fight the typhus scourge unless the surgeon general resigns his commlsrion in the army, :.,''. V Mr. Garrison takes the position that should General Gorgas go to SeN bla as a retired officer in which ca pacity he still would be under the jurisdiction of the war department a situation would be created which easi ly might lead to trouble. Villa Troops Leave Matamoros. Brownsville, Texas. A report that the 6,000 Villa troops which have been besieging Matamoros for more than two weeks had started for Celaya to assist General Villa In his campaign against General Obregon was received by Major General Frederick Funston in command of the United States troops here. Army Wants Prohibition. Washington. A delegation from the anti-saloon league called on Secretary Garrison, causing comment which In creased when he declined to make public the reason for the call.

UZSOK STOPS RUSSIANS AU8TRIAN8 GREATLY CHEERED BY NUMBER OF GERMAN RE INFORCEMENTS. French Are Satisfied With Successes In West Between Muse and l-o-raina Frontier. London. Two gateways Into Hun gary still remain barred, despite the tremendous Russian hammering and as the Beskld Pass is the less import ant of the two strategically, a further advance into Hungary hangs on the possession of Uzok Pass, where the Invaders are meeting with stubborn opposition. Several days ago the Rus sians captured a position which gave them command of a road leading to the rear of Uzsok Pass, but. since then the Teutonic Allies have checked the movement. The importance of the Carpathian operations is indicat ed by the half-hearted actions along the rest of the long eastern front The people of the Dual Monarchy are said to be greatly cheered by the number of German reinforcements passing through Budapest on the way to the Carpathian front to take part in the operations, which are now be lieved to be In charge of the German General Staff. The whole situation in the East pivots on Uzok Pass where the Aus-tro-German forces are in such great strength that the efforts of the Rus sians to reach the Hungarian Plains are likely to be prolonged. In the west the French apparently are satisfied with . their . recent suc cesses between the Mouse and the Lorraine' frontier and claim only to have come In contact' with the Ger man entanglements in this region. Official German reports assert that determined attacks by the French re ports assert that determined attacks by the French have been repulsed along this section. , Probably no session of the British Parliament since the opening of the war has been awaited with keener interest than the sitting which will begin soon. GOVERNMENT BACK8 OFFICIAL8. Department of Justice Will Aid Wil liams and McAdoo. Washington. Developments Indi cated that the Government ' intends to do its utmost to back up Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury, and Comp troller, of the Currency Williams in the leeal fight precipitated by the Riggs National Bank, complainant in equity proceedings to enjoin these of ficials from alleged attempts to drive that institution out Of business through systematic and long-continu ed persecution.

Asserting that be had nothing to do with the death of Fran cisco Madero, General Vlctoriano Huerta, former Provisional President Issued a lengthy signed statement re lating to the question. General Huerta deolared he knew who was responsible for Madero's death, but that he was keeping it as "a professional secret" General Huerta's statement review ed the history of the Madero revolu tion, his own accession to the Provi sional Presidency and concluded with the assertoln that "iny country can not be conquered." ' Sixteen millions of men, women and children would have to be killed be fore Mexico would submit to an In vader, Huerta assertad. The beads of the Washington Ad ministration, Huerta declared, had not been fair to Mevtlco, had been misled by false etatemonts and If they had been in Mexico fur thirty days "they would have changed their the oretical, erroneous ideas." Had it not been for the embargo on the exporta tion of arms from this country Gen eral Huerta indicated that his army would have prevailed over those op posed to it - The former Provisional President reiterated the assertion made when he left Mexico last year that he had, re signed from his position only because he hoped to bring peace to his coun try. He pointed out that in the eight months elapsed since that date the sit uation in Mexico had become "too sad for me to analyze deeply." "Anarchy is too soft a word to call it" he said. Mexico eventually would be saved, but by a Mexican, he" said. Who that would be he did not know. Huerta declined to give an Inkling as to his future movements. He de nied that he would go to, San Antonio, Texae, or any other point near the Mexican border. Discussing the death of Madero, he said: "That Is a professional secret Law years -have secrets, doctors have secrets I am a soldier why should not a soldier have secrets? It is not thorough friendship for any one that I am withholding the lnrormauon. The time will soon come when my name will be vindicated and, as Gen eral Lee said of General Jackson, the world will say of me, I stood like a stonewall submitting to the ignomity and the Insults heaped upon me.'

ThA habit of birds in migrating Rnnth when winter comes on Is. in fluenced by the need of finding a suf ficient supply of food. As food grow rarcA when winter approaches in tne farthest northern places where birds . live they naturally turn to the South, hAre. their instinct tells them, rooa will be plentiful. The, return of the birds In the spring to their accustomed haunts in the North Is one of the evl- itfnrp of their possession of an in stinct which is also strong In man. Tha anvlrnnmflnft in which a bird Or human being is brought up generally becomes a nermanent part or lis na ture. Ornithologists have not yet made It clear Just what enables the hird to find its war back and forth to the ame spot every year, and our knowledge is confined to tne taci oi what the "homing instinct" does. Aftnr thev mate and build their first nest and bring up their first fam ily, birds cherish a fondness for inai not much the same as the. attach ment that man feels for his early home. The spring migration of bisds Is their Joyful return home after a temporary sojourn abroad to secure the means of livelihood. Helpless Man. ..
