PRESENT TROUBLES IN MEXICO.
A Call on Madero to Straighten Out
the Situation.

The intolerable situation that Mexico
faces today with regard to Zapata, and
the several bandit bands that are oper-
atng in his name, has caused more gen
eral indignation than any incident of this
| year Of revolution. And this Indignation
| is all the greater because the present
complications appear so unnecessary and
inexeusable.
The fact that Zapata and few hum
| dred men, well mounted, knowing the
mountains perfectly can swoop down up
on isolated haciendas or defenseless VIII
lagos, and loot and burn. is not alarm
| ing here in the capital where their meth
DDS and strength are understood
Abroad, however. where the news has
gone forth to all the world that again
federal troops fighting Zapatas
forces in the valley of Mexico. the
| gravity of the situation will undoubtedly
| be overestimated.
| The most deplorable feature of the
present question is that it now appears
| to contain more of politics than Of war
| For weeks the people have been asking:
l'Why have not the large force of federal
i and ex-Maderist troops been able to sup
press Zapata'
From the beginning Of the present ac-
tive campaign various answers have been
given TO explain the delay, but during
the last few days the facts that have
been brought TO light make il clear the
government troops have not been free
| to prosecute an active campaign against
Zapata
| The military forces In the field have
been hampered by mysterious instrue-
tons TO deal gently with the Zapatists.
land that these orders have been authori-
ltative is shown, not only by the mac
Itaon of the federal soldiers. but from the
Testimony of Zpatists themselves.
BY many President-elect Madero is held
responsible for the present situation. It
| is asserted that his friendship for Ia
pata has resulted in his receiving un-
warranted protection through both Off
cial and unofficial channels, While even
| less charitable reports have credited him
with desire to see the present situa-
tion prolonged until his administration
might have the credit of its settlement.
President de la Barra has stated plain-
| ly that his Instructions to the war office
10 prosecute a vigorous campaign have
not been carried out, and acting upon
| this declaration, Congress last evening
called upon the minister of war for a
personal explanation.
Men. who are high in the counsels of
the Madero party explain that Zapata'
last uprising was the result of the APP
pointment of Gen. Figueroa to the gov
ernorship of Morelos, as he is consider
ed a personal enemy by Zapata and his
followers. 1t is claimed that when Ma
dero takes his seat; another provisional
governor is appointed, and the govern
ment arranges to carry out its promises
to divide some OF the large estates
among small holders, the trouble in
Morelos Will promptly end.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1912-03-19

Without discussing for the moment the
propriety of such methods we would say
that if the present Zapata campaign OF
pillage and destruction began as pro-
test against a political appointment in
the state of Morelos, it has now passed
not only the bounds of the state but Of
liberation.
We are certain that Mr.. Madero has no
sympathy with the depradations of Ia
pata, and we think the time has come for
him to say so in forcible terms; to an
nounce that he will support the provis-
ional government absolutely in its CAM
paign to crush the bandits that are
bringing discredt upon Mexico, inJur-
ing business and delaying a return of
prosperity, in a manner totally unwar-
.ranted.
We cannot believe for a moment that
Mr. Madero would play politics. TO the
extent of countenancing the acts of "a
pata, or interfere with the operations of
the regular army against bandits for the
purpose of reserving glory for his own
administration. The clear way for MIN
to show his position in this matter is to
come out frankly and at once in support
of the campaign to end bandit raids in
Mexico, and to rebuke any overzealous
Epartisans who may have meddled in his
name.
The man who led the revolution, and
who has been elected president of Mexi-
Eco, is too big man TO condone in any
measure the unbrdled acts of brigand-
Iage of Zapata and we expect him to say
so in mo uncertain manner.-Mexican

First one side would get a goal and then
the other, the score being to I in favor
OIL the CORNER team Ut lllc Gnu VI tAc
first period Stuart and Morton of the
winning team did some fine playing.
Their blocking was superb and served
as an inspiration for the rest of the
team
The spectators were right on edge
when the whistle blew for the last period
to start and the hackers of both teams
were guessing as to which team would
be the winner. The Alumni team started
in strong however, and the game had
been in progress only few minutes be-
fore the score stood Is to IL in their ia
vor. 1t looked as if the Cony boys We're
surely going to win without trouble ut
this time, but with only short time left
to play the Corner boys had one OF
their ninth-inning rallies and succeeded
in teng the score by fast passing and
clever shooting. The score stood tie
when the pistol sounded at the end of
the period Referee Marshall called the
boys back to the floor and told Them to
play until one of the teams had secured
two points
About five minutes of the hardest kind
of playing was necessary before the

player who did the trick, and won the
victory for his team. The game ended
with the score Il to 15
