The definite statement in the Berlin press dispatches that Germany would welcome peace was read with deep interest by officials The only comment made here. was that President Wilson's speech tomorrow night before the Leagne to Enforce Peace would make plain his position. Officials said they knew of no intention on the President's part of asking Colonel House to go back to Berlin.

Coming from Lopez, the story was almost as If from Villa himself, for Lopez was the bandit's-closeshenchman, his chief lieutenant aiii his prime aide and executioner In both affairs. Sitting in the shadow of approaching death, for Pablo is to be executed just as soon as his wounds are healed, the bandit declared that In ' killing eighteen Americans at Santa Ysabel last January, he only obeyed Villa's orders. Styling his leader "Don Pancho," Lopez asserted that Villa's motive both at Santa Ysabel and Columbus was revenge, mixed with a desire to waken his country to the danger of "gringo" domination. Ton Pancho.' he said. "was convinced that the United States was too cowardly to try to win Mexico by arms and believed that It "would keep putting one faction against another until we were all killed off. when our exhausted country would fall like a ripe pear Into their eager hands." 'Disappointed at Columbus. "We were disappointed over the Columbus raid. Well, all we got there were some horses, many bullets and a lot of hell. "My master, Don Pancho Villa, was continually telling us that since thfe gringoes had given him the double cross, he meant not only to get back at them, but to try to waken our country to the danger that was very close to It. Don Pancho was convinced that the gringoes were too cowardly to fight us or to try and win our country by force of arms. He said that they would keep putting one faction against another until we were all killed off. and our exhausted country would fall like a pear into their eacer bands. "Don Pancho also told us that Carranza was. selling our northern ftates to the gringoes to - get money to keep himself in power. He said he wanted to make some attempt to get Intervention from the gringoes before they were ready, and while we still had time to become a united nation.

In view of the improper methwhich he sent the British and French authorities in interrupting mails passing between the United States and other neutral countries and between the United States and the enemies of Great Britain, can no longer tolerate the wrongs which citizens of the United States suffer and continue to suffer through these methods. To submit to a lawless practice of this character would open the door to repeated violations of international law by the belligerent powers on. the ground of military necessity of which the violator would be the sole judge. Manifestly a neutral nation cannot permit Its rights on the high seas to be determined by belligerents or the exercise of those rights to be permitted or denied arbitrarily by the government of a warring nation. The neutrals are as sacred as the rights of rights of belligerents and must be as strictly observed. "The government of the United States, confident in the regard for international law and the rights of neutrals which the British and French governments have so often proclaimed and the disregard of which they have vigorously against their enurged so emies in the present war,' expects the present practice ofin the British and the treatment of French authorities mails from or to the Fnifed Statin tr cease and belligerent rights, as to conform to the principle gov erning the passage of mail matter and to the recognized practice of nations.
