we have every reason to believe
that the accredited representative of

Carot!Iers. is being influenced by
Francisco Villa, alias Doroteo Arrange
This is his true name. He has as
sumed the name Of Francisco Villa only
for reasons known TO himself This
fact we would like the State Depart

"At the very moment that he was
openly declaring friendship for the
United States lie was threatening to
invade this nation ut Ell Paso. and de-
clared to his closest advisers that he
would conquer the nation in Il few
months campaign. That when few
the conduct OF the United States was
justified in the Vera Cruz matter. he
was at the same time swearing Ven
Seance upon this nation.
II think the Washington admins
tration, and especially Mr. Wilson HIM
self should know. in view OF his Mo-

pressed then. that the special interests
that have played such an important
part in American politics and sustained

In addition it is now believed that

Eighteen bodies had been recovered

which was lost off Munising Harbor,
when Captain Jennings ordered the
ship turned back from the harbor en-
trance in an effort to save one Of the
two barges which had broken adrift.
This attempt to aid the doomed barge
caused the wreck Of the Curtis and
