OFFICERS INSIST ONLEAVING ARMY Asquith Unable to Persuade Them to Remain. STATEMENT TO COMMONS Premier Goes Direct to Parliament From Second Conference of the Day With Field Marshal Sir John French and Lieutenant General Sir John 8. Ewart. London, March 28.—The resigna- tions of Field Marshal Sir John French and Lieutenant General Sir John S. Ewart have not yet been withdrawn and Premier Asquith, after twice deferring his statement, was able to announce in the house of com- mons only that the government still was waiting the reply of the army officers to the cabinet’s request that they remain in their posts. Premier Asquith reached the house of commons straight from the second of the two cabinet meetings of the day, both of which were attended by the chief of the general staff, -Field Marshal Sir John French. The premier said matters in the question involved great complexity and difficulty and seemed to the gov- ernment to require very full consid- eration. A partial or provisional statement would be unsatisfactory. Sir John French and Lieutenant General Sir John S. Ewart, the ad- jutant general of the forces, had in- timated a wish to be relieved of their offices, Mr. Asquith said, not because of any differences between their views and those of the government, but hav- ing issued the memorandum to Briga- dier General Cough they thought this course incumbent upon them. Requested Not to Retire. “The government has conveyed to them its wish that as there is no dif- ference of opinion on any ground or policy they should not persist in their request, the carrying out of which the government would regard as a serious misfortune to both the army and the state. We are still awaiting their final reply. “These two gallant officers believe that in the circumstances that they were justified in believing their action was in accordance with the instruc- tions of the cabinet and that they were transmitting those directlons to the officers concerned. “It is clear to us and to them that there has been a misconception—a genuine misconception—in regard to the intention and purport of the pro- ceedings in Ireland out of which these difficulties have arisen. “In view of these misconceptions and to obviate the possibility of their recurrence in the future the. army council has—Iield Marshal Sir John French and Lieutenant General Sir John 8. Ewart being present—unani- mously determined to issue a new army order.” DEATH RATE IS VERY HIGH Health Conditions Among the Indians Deplorable.

HEAVY LOSSES SUSTAINED Both Armies Impaired by the Des- perate Nature of the Engagement Before Rebel Success Is Achieved. Federals Retire to Torreon to Make Final Stand in Crucial Battle. Constitutionalist Headquarters Near Torreon, March 28—General Villa and his rebel army, after four days of almost incessant fighting, during which victory seemed first with one side and then with the other, have occupied Gomez Palacio. Losses on both sides have been heavy. The rebels delivered three assaults before permanent success was achieved and at times the battle ex- tended into the lanes leading into Torreon proper. Villa predicts that he will have the latter city in a day or two. Federal forces have retreated into Torreon and there are prepared to make the final stand in the crucial battle of the present revolution. Losses on both: sides have been so heavy that the fighting force is im- vaired. Federal wounded are being cared for in Torreon and Villa is pre- paring to- send the rebel wounded north on special trains. Villa took occasion to remew his acknowledgment of Carranza as su- preme chief of the revolution. The telegram added that the brigades of Generals Benavides, Herrera, Ortega and Urbina were being concentrated for an assault on Torreon proper. VAUDEVILLE MAGNATE DEAD Benjamin F.

DEMOCRATS BADLY SPLIT Majority Leader Underwood Counse His Followers Not to Support the President” In His Efforts to Get Measure Through Congress. +++++++++++++++++ 5 Wxshin:ton, March 28 —Pres- ident Wilson won the first bat- tle of his fight to repeal the Panama, tolls exemption when the house, by a vote of 207 to 176, Tefused to continue discus- sion on the rule to limit to twenty hours the debate on the Sims bill. The special rule then was adopted, 200 to 172. That put the Sims bill to repeal the ex- emption squarely before _the house for twenty hours’ debate and protected against inter- vening motions and ‘amend- ments. ’ ++++++++++++++++++ Mo e e e e T e e e e b P bk +++++-‘<+++++++++++ Washington, March 28.—Lines of battle in the house of representatives were drawn tighter than in years over the proposal of President Wilson fo. the repeal of the Panama canal tolls act. So serious is the situation it may mean a break in the Democratic con gress fatal to the legislative program of the president. Lined up against the presldent ‘when the house met were Speaker Champ Clark and Representative Underwood, floor- leader of the Democrats. Rallying about these two leaders were many Democrats and a large contingent ‘of Republicans and Pro- gressives, bent upon defeat of the executive’s program. Great interest was manifest early in the day in the tense situation. The galleries were. crowded. Every mem- ber was in his place early. Speaker Clark warned the floor and galleries that “an acrimonious and ex- citing debate like this” should call for perfect order. He had some difficulty in quieting the house, but finally suc- ceeded. The house disposed of routine busi- ness in less than ten minutes and ‘the rule to limit the Panama tolls repeal debate to twenty hours was taken up Representative. Sherwood (Dem., 0.) was the first speaker. He urged an amendment to dismantle the forti- fications of the canal and absolutely neutralize it. The administration forces opened |- their fight in a”twelve-minute speech by Representative Adamson. He re- ferred to the arguments in favor of the tolls exemption as “cldp-trap, poppy-cock and delusion.” Underwood in Opposition. After more debate Representative Underwood held a whispered confer- ence with Speaker Clark at the desk and returned to his seat smiling. As he did so Representative Camp- bell surprised the house by yielding to Representative Underwood. The house burst into cheers, which con- tinued vigorously for several mo- ments. As the house quieted down Mr. Un- derwood began: “I am opposed to this bill and nat- | g urally T am opposed to rule for its consideration,” he said. “I regret that the bill is before the house. I hope it will be defeated. But the president having laid this important question before the congress I believe it should be considered, but considered in the proper way. “I have always ‘endeavored to sus- taim my party’s platform. I believe this plank of the platform is right. Believing this, there is but one posi- tion I can take; that is, to sustain the Dposition expressed in my party’s plat- form. “I regret that I differ with the presi- dent of the United States and am compelled to differ with my colleagues here, but I say if we are to make a mistake in this matter let it be one mistake. Let us not turn our faces against the battery that made a Dem- ocratic majority in this, house first possible.” Speaker Clark did not take the floor to discuss the rule, STRIKERS TIE UP TRAINS Cut Air Hose of Frelght Cars on Pennsylvania Road.
