WILL SLAUGHTER
EVERY AMERICAN
Intervention in Mexico Will Mean
War to Death.
THREAT COMES FROM MADER0
Confidential Secretary of President De-
clares if American Troops Cross
Border Mexicans Will Unite
In War of determination.

Mexico City. If United States
troops cross the border line ev-
cry American in Mexico will be
slaughtered is the declaration made
by Juan Sanchez Azcona, confidential
secretary to President Madero, in an
authorized interview Azcona's state
ments are regarded as having been
authorized by Madero, and have given
the already frightened Americans
new cause for anxiety. AZcona says:
If the United States intervenes Ma
derism, Zapatism and Vasquism will
be forgotten and there will be COM
mon union of forces to repel the inter
loper. Every American in Mexico
will be slaughtered at the first news
that the American flag has crossed the
border.
1T is reasonable to believe, Of
course, that distinctions would be
made in the event of such massa-
ere. However, agitators will harangue
the crowds at every corner and indl-
cate to the mobs the differences be-
tween Americans and other foreigners.
But only Americans would pay the
penalty that outraged Mexican ideals
would deem commensurate with the
crime. l would deeply regret the hide
Gus picture the situation would pre-
sent, but when so much talk is float
ing around regarding Intervention we
might as well stop feeding each other
thin soup and realize that Intervention
means war to the death, with death
a long ways off,
BE the cause of intervention what
it may, all disputants will drop their
animosities to join the battle against
the United States"
Every foreigner in this city is wor-
ried. The Americans are arming them
selves and at the first sign of trou-
BILE will gather at Colonia Roma, near
the embassy, where are posted two
field guns. Twenty thousand cart
ridges were sold to foreigners.
Americans regard the Azcona inter
view as indicating that if American
troors cross the line Madero will make
no attempt to prevent a massacre.
Fifty-three Americans are reported
to be fighting for their lives at We
lardena against 5000 Vasquistas who
surround the town.
Ell Paso, Tex. - Juarez is in pos
session Of the Vasquista rebels.
Firing only one or two volleys and
meeting no resistance, except few
scattering shots in reply to their first
volley, the rebels marched into the
town, capturing the machine guns that
had been bought to repel the rebels,
took charge of the municipal offices,
the custom house, the barracks, the
jail and other public buildings.
The few hundred men in Juarez as
defenders fired a few shots from points
of vantage and then were ordered by
their officers to cease.

WHERE THE DIFFERENCE WAS
Little Old Lady Had Not Understood,
but, After All, Matter Was
Quite Simple.

A little old lady came into the sta
ton at Ames and asked for ticket
to Greensburg. "Thirty-nine cents
said the agent, as he got the ticket.
''Thirty-nine!" exclaimed the WON
an. why, l thought it was 40!
NO" said the man, as he gave her
the change, 1T is just 80"
The woman took the change and the
ticket and sat down, but she did not
put either change or ticket into her
purse She held them in her hand,
and looked quite troubled. Finally
she went to the agent again.
Il am sure there is some mistake,
she said. Z came from Greensburg
yesterday and l paid 40 cents"
Our regular rate to Greensburg Is
80 cents" said the agent. Its all
right, madam" he added, in Teas-
surfing way
Again she took her seat, but not Tor
long. Again she came to the window
and spoke to the agent:
"WiIl you please explain to me why
the rate from here to Greensburg is
only 80 cents when the rate from
Greensburg here is 40?'
This was a question that the agent
really could not answer, but the wom-
an looked so distressed over the I'M
expected cent received in change that
he felt sorry for her.
"Oh, it's down grade going that way,
you know" he explained. in a busl-
nesslike way.
so it isl" she said, in tone OF
enlightenment. Her face cleared at
once, She put the change into her
purse and in great content sat down
to wait for her train.-Youth's Com

tasten the blame for the execution OF
TIE generals alleged to have been
conspirators in a plot to disrupt the
Republic, upon the shoulders of Cen

Threats OF assassination have been

Doctor Sun Yat Sen is reported to be

CARDS as the murder of the soldiers,
that, disregarding yelled hints and
warnings from high quarters, he has

Even since the crushing defeat OF
the Russian fleet by the. Japanese

sian naval authorities have been en-.
deavoring TO build up service that
would compare with that OF other
nations. One result of this has been
the introduction of a discipline far
more severe than even that in use in
the army. This has, it is said, made
the navy the hotped Of anarchy, and
