n0 ECRETARY BRYAN has de-
MED that he sent George c.
- CarOthers to chihuahua to pre-
sent a protest against Villas treat
ment of the foreigners" said an
American refugee from Chihuahua
saturday. In justice TO Ameri-
can consul Marion Letcher who has
done such good work in protecting
American lives and property, as well
as those of other foreigners, 1 think
that The Herald could well afford to
print the paragraph which appeared
in the Washington dispatch to the
New York paper referring to the mat
ter. This paragraph reads; Secretary
Bryan today denied widely published
reports that the state department has
sent George c. CartOhers on a spec
ial mission to protest to Villa in Chi
huahua City against his alleged afro
cities against foreign residents and
to inform the rebel chief that his
course is harming the cause of the
ConstiutiOnalists Mr. Bryan said
that the state department was acting
through the Chihuahua consul, MIR.
Letcher and that no instructions had
been sent to that office recently
''Why does not FL PasO have a
smoke consuming ordinance asked
7. c. Human. Here we have the
finest climate in the world, but IL IS
SANITY sift down from the chlmneyS
of business blocks, and from the rail-
way trains. The SCOT collects ana
eddys in little WhirlWinds on the
street, it drops down and SOILS one
face and collars and is a great. big
nuisance. If all the business blocks
and buildings had smoke consumers
the SCOT from the trains would not
be of much consequence. II does
seem a shame when our climate IS
50 mild that one could wear nght col
ored clothes all the time TO nave

we have been experiencing lately
international law provides very
explicitly for lust such occasions as
this that has brought the 4OOO oo9
Mexican federals under our charge'
said q prominent army officer. AS
long as our government is taking
neutral stand, we must care for the
soldiers of either side as prisoners OF
war. There are many precedenIs LOT
this During the Observation-Disclosures
war a fleet of Russian ships, scat
tered by the Japs, fled for safeIy 20
various ports of neutral countries.
| One ship came as far as san ran
cisco, where its crew SURRENDERED 70
United States officials. The Russians
were paroled and allowed the liberty

reimburse the United States for the

but even if there is settlement IN
Mexico it viii be a question If Mexico

"El Paso people were just beginning
to realize fully that Frank ToDln
