Uncivilized Warfare
in Mexico
The Following Editorial, from the Albu-
querque Morning Journal is very Clear
on the lass of Warfare in Mexico.

From Juarez comes the cheer
full information that General
Francisco Villa, being in COM
plete and undisputed possession
of that border stronghold, is
making his victory more COM
plete by executing" the officers
of the federal garrison who
were taken prisoners when the
town was captured. Some
stress is laid up On the fact that
the conqIIeror has been so
humane as to spare the lives of
the private soldiers who fell in
to his hands, with the proviso
that they joined the rebel forces,
and is combining his homicidal
activities to the men who were
in command.
SO far as appears from the
press dispatches, these officers
have been guilty of no greater
crime than being members of
Huerta's army. No warrant
whatever for putting them to
death is in evidence, and by
every rule of civilized warfare
they should be protected as
prisoners Of war ana given the
best treatment consistent with
their status as prisoners and the
ability of their status as captors
10 care for them.
The incident is Illuminating.
1t demonstrates conclusively
that there is no such thing as
civilized warfare in Mexico at
present, and goes far to prove
what has been SO often asserted,
that, stripped of fancy phrases,
the only issue involved in thu
conflict now being waged is as
to which of two sets of bandits
shall control the destinies Of the
country.
We shall wait with interest
to see if General Carranza I'M
der whose banner Villa is fight
ing. dieclaims responsibility
for the barbIrities committed at
Juarez and visits deserved pun
ishment upon the man guilty of
them. Unless he does, Presi-
dent Wilson will stulttfy him
self by having further negotia-
tions of any sort with this So
C He'd 'constituiionalist" leader.
We have placed or refusal to
recognize he Hnetta govern
ment upon The high ground that
we will have nothing TO do with
a man whose accession to power
was brought about by murder
and violence. We cannot afford
to be placed in the position of
recognizing murder by Carranza
as any more Justifiable than
murder by Huerta.
Intervention is brought a long
step near by Villas savagerY.
Whichever side wins in t h g
present struggle, it is practically
certain that we will have a band
of cut throats to deal with i'll
Mexico City. A government of
law is the only thing we can
tolerate in Mexico, and it is be-
coming increasingly evident
that the only way for us to
bring about that sort of govern
ment is to go and establish it
ourselves,
