THE NOME DAILY NUGGET
U. S. IS READY TO
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, April 14
To all appearances the United
States is preparing to take the Iasi
step in the submarine negotia
tions that will either Jead to a
complete solution of the problem
or to a severance of diplomatic
relations with Germany
After a prolonged cabinet meet
ing this morning it was announc
ed that a communication to Ger
many will go forward probably
within the next forty eight hours
in which the administration will
definitely outline its attitude to
ward the German reply to the
Sussex note and also inform the
Berlin government that the Uni
ted States cannot consider the
German refutation at all satisfac
tory
It is said that the case against
Germany is now complete with
out the affidavits of the survivors
of the attack which are due to ar
rive here on the steamship St.
Paul. The feeling is general here
now that only a miracle can pre
vent an open break between the
United States unless Germany
shall give complete satisfaction in
all the causes of contention. Lead
ing officials assert that the presi
dent has firmly determined tc
press the matter to a definite con
elusion and is fully ready to acl
in behalf of the rights of neutrals
regardless of what may result.
Close friends of the executive
say that he is convinced that the
promises made by the Germar,
ambassador relative to the im
munity of neutrals from subma
rine attack have been rutFilesslj
0 "" - - - - •**
violated by the German admiral
ty. The situation today is looked
upon as far more critical than ever
before as it is clearly indicated
that the action to be taken by the
government has been fully decid
ed on and Germany will be forced
to take a definite stand one way
or the other.

GRIPMAN IS AUTHOR
OF DOUBLE TRAGEDY
A- P. A. Service.
S EATTLE, Apr'l 13.—A shock
ing addition to the long list o!
tragedies occurring in Seattle ir
recent months occurred last nighl
when David Garette, a gripman
in the employ of the street cai
company, shot and instantly kill
ed J. R. Orgis, a nephew by mar
riage and then suicided.
The double tragedy was caused
by the act'on of young Orgis ini
crossing his relatives wishes in re
gard to a pet dog belonging to thej
late wife of Carette. A quarrel
ensued which ended in Carette j
suddenly drawing a revolver and
shooting his nephew dead. He
then turned the gun upon himself
inflicting injur'es from which he
died within a short time. Carette
is thought to have become men
tally unbalanced as a result of
losing his wife and mother, both
of whom died recently within a
short period. Friends assert that
he has appeared to be d'straught
with grief over his bereavement
and has given many signs of men
tal instability.

CARRANZA SAYS MANY WERE
KILLED PARRAL ENGAGEMENT
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, April 14.—
If the reports arriving here may
be relied on the engagement be
tween the American troops and
the citizens of Parral was of far
more serious moment than was at
.irst indicated.
According to the accounts the
number of killed and wounded on
the Mexican side was considera
ble. The Americans apparently
did not suffer greater losses than
have been already given though
several accounts state • that the
cavalry suffered severely.
Carranza informed his embas
sy here last night that many
deaths occurred on both sides. It
is believed, however, that this is
a mistake. The Carranza report
says that the Carranza troops oc
cupying Parral aided the Ameri
cans in attempting to restore or
der. At the present time the out-i
come of the affair is hard to .con
jecture.
Nothing further has been heard
from Pershing relative to the mat
ter and it is not known whether
Americans have succeeded in
getting safely away or not. Offi
cial circles express great anxiety
over the fate of Major Tompkins
and His little forec of cavalry as
their numbers were too small to
resist a continued attack.

situation during the course of his
address at the Jefferson day ban
quet. President Wilson said that
it was his prayer that the United

were concerned with the interests
of humanity and when interests
of humanity have been conserved
to withdraw again- Referring to
the submarine crisis he indicated
