WASHINGTON, Aprit Jl.—Anx- Anxiously awaiting Germany's final word on America's demand that present methods of submarine warfare against merchant shipping be abandoned, otficialdom today gradually was losing its Initial feeling of intense pessimism. There was in evidence at both the White House and the State Department a feeling of hopefulness that the two great nations yet would be able to reconcile their differences. This feeling grows out of the realization that if Germany will announce that she has abandon- , ed pi-esent methods of retaliation President Wilson will agree to debate how submarines may lawfully be used. KL PASO,. Tex., April 21.—Venustiuno CaiTBilza'R power In Mexico is tottering and his downfall is regarded us ,only a matter of time. This news reached the border today from reliable sources.

The train also carried a number of refugees. Maiiy women and children were also killed by the explosion that wrecked the train.

EL PASO, April 21.—Adres Garcia, Mexican consul at El Paso, received word today that - Francisco Villa Is in the mountainous district west of Durango City, In the state of Durango. An earlier report had located the bandit leader in the state of Zacatecas, but Garcia said his information had come from a reliable source. The consul admitted that the report of Villa's death had been officially discredited. The antl-Carranza faction of the government, headed by General Obregon and General Agullar, respectively ministers of war and foreign affairs, is dictating every move now made by .Mexico. The American campaign in Mexico brought the long smouldering enmity against Carranza to a head. Carranza made 110 protest against the entry of American soldiers into Mexico, and his foes took this opportunity to solidify the opposition. The demand for the recall of the United States followed. Carranza was forced to leave Queretaro and go to Mexico City to save his life, instead of making a triumphal journey from Qircretaro to the capital Carranza was fleeing for his own safety.

An earlier report had located the bandit leader in the state of Zacatecas, but Garcia said his information had come from a reliable source.

Carranza made 110 protest against the entry of American soldiers into Mexico, and his foes took this opportunity to solidify the opposition. The demand for the recall of the United States followed. Carranza was forced to leave Queretaro and go to Mexico City to save his life, instead of making a triumphal journey from Qircretaro to the capital Carranza was fleeing for his own safety.
