With Fire And Sword To Turn
Northern Mexico Into
Wilderness of Woe.
3 COLUMNS 20 MILES WIDE
To Deyastate The Fairest POr.
ton of Republic Like Bar
barian Of Dark Ages.

Ell Paso, Tex. Dec. 20.-Northern
Mexico is to be made a wilderness.
Realizing the imposibiity of captur-
ing the country from the rebels,
Huerta has ordered the remnant of
his army, now at Ojinaga, to begin
a campaign of obstruction that will
make the states of Chihuahua and
Coahuila untenable for Villa and his
followers. Villages are to be laid
waste and farms swept off the map.
The campaign will be similar to that
waged several months ago against
Zapata in northern Mexico.
Particular attention is to be paid
to the Mormon colonies in the vicin'
ity of Casas Grandes. Inez Salazal
the socialist general, has been chosen
by Hureta to command the column
of obstruction that will march
against the Mormans. His orders as
learned here are to march from
Ojinaga to Casas Grandes, sweeping
a path twenty miles wide for the en-
tire distance. Everything in this
path will be destroyed.
| While Salazar is thus engaged
Pescual Grosca will procede up the
Conchos river from Ojinaga through
Cuchilla Parade to Santa Rosalina
where a junction will be forme'
with Generals Veladeo and Navarett'
from Torreon. The combined arm
: les then will attack Chihuahua City
Both armies wi ! destroy everything
possible on their marches to SAINT;
Rosalina. Salazar's march is expect
: ed to start within the next three
DAYS. He will follow the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande southwark
crossing the Mexican Central al
Villa Ahumada, on the Mexican Cen
trail. at Casas Grandes. Both rail
roads,will be destroyed, cutting the of
rebe S from Juarez and Chihuhua.
All men found in the path of Sal
azar's columns will be pressed into
service or shot, and the women anc
children left to shift for themselves

City Manager.

The city Of Dayton, o.. that has
gone degree in advance of the COM
mission government plan and aiopt-
ed thatof city manager" first, so It
was stated in a dispatch to the New
York Sun, asked Col. G. w. Goethsls
OF Panama Canal fame to take the
job Of directing the affairs of that
municipality. The proposition was
said to be that he might name his
own salary up to $25 600.
Golfers Weekly thinks that no
more important news has appeared
in any American paper during the
present year and said:
1t matters little whether Col. Goe-
thals wants the job or whether the
War Department is willing to re-
lease him to take it. The significant
thing is that fairly large American
city has come to the point where tits
willing to hire an expert executive to
manage its affairs. It is many q
milestone from this back to the sys-
tenn OF partisan mayors and cumb-
rous partisan aIdermanic bodies still
obtaining in almost all American
cities.
This city manager" idea was Dor
rowed from the Germans, who have
put it into effective operation. 1t isl
radical departure from the old sys-
ten of mayor and a ward elected
council still prevailing in most cities
of this country.
1t is assuredly very desirable to
put politics out of city government
and substitute purely business meth
DDS instead. but how the city man.
sger plan is going to suit the temper
OF an American community remains
to be seen. and it can't be regarded
as beyond the experimental stage.
1t would be very interesting in
deed to see Col. Goethals in complete
charge of the city of New York, ap-
plying there the methods that have
proved so effective in Panama. There
is no doubt that it would be a great
Improvement on Tammauy methods
and the kind of government New
York has had in the past.
But men like Goethals are rare,
and conditions in American cities ars
, very unlike those of the canal zone.
1t can't be taken as assured that the
city manager plan would in every in
stance work with entire satisfaction
to all concerned.
BIT the Dayton incident is a sizea-
BILE straw in the breeze of public
opinion. The sensible people of the
| United States have grown FESTIVE
under the old conditions of municip-
al government and Of local govern
ment generally. The manifest evils.
of politics and frequent elections in
both city and county affairs, where
nothing is required but honesty and
capable business administration, is
challenging the attention of the
thoughtful and there lisa demand for
more efficient system.
The Dayton experiment, whether
it be with Col. Goethals or any other
man. will be watched with a great
deal of interest.

Former Senator Foraker is daily re-

Foraker placed the correspondence
that passed between Mulhall and him

Mulhall about thirty years ago. II was

Foraker. II was cordial to him. From
that incident dates the alleged infu-
