editorial article today Ell Pals says:
7Does President Woodrow Wilson
know, or does he not care to know
chat IN history and before the civil
lied world he will be obliged to an
swer the charges which humanity
will make against Francisco villag
The article recapltulates the crime
Of murder and pillage attributed to
Villa, the rebel leader, at Torreon and
Juarez, alleging that If the revolution
triumphs, Villa will become vice pres
ident, minister of war or some other
functionary, by virtue of the valuable
services he has rendered to venusti-
ano Carrauza. the constitutionalist
leader. It continues:
"This, President Wilson should
know and does know for cer4
tainty, yet, wishing to justify his I'M
warranted and absurd meddlng in
our affairs. he chooses to protect
Francisco Villa. the better to impose
his win and caprice on Mexico, even
though such a course be the direct
cause Of crimes without number, such
as have been committed at Torrcon,
Juarez and many other towns"
The impartial publishes today, un-
der . scare head, the statement that
the adherents Of Carranza in the vic
Unity Of Juarez shot two american ar
my officers. This news is alleged to
have been conveyed to the federal
capital by private messages which de-
clared that President Wilson is hor-
rified by the Infamous executions
carried out by villa which has incIin-
ed him to the Mexican policy demand
ed by justice and common sense
that Is to say, the recognition Of the
constituted government, whose chief
is the illustrious Huerta.

to the American policy, as thus far
outlined, it is being taken for granted
here that, SO far as the nations OF
the world are concerned, the new
Mexican congress may legislate as ii
will, but its acts will not have inter
national sanction as the constituted
lawmaking body of the republic. Such
a favorable attitude by otte nations
generally strengthens tha confidence
OF the Washington government that
the power of the Huerta regime is
crumbling.
The fact that, by agreement, many
members Of the Catholic party did
not attend the session Of congress, is
regarded as another evidence of the
loss by Huerta Of one ii the chief
sources of his support.
