MADERO'S SLAYERS
WILL BE EXECUTED

WASHINGTON, D. c., July IL
Wilson's representative, John Sill
man, notified Carranza that America
demanded that he (Carranza) grant
amnesty to foes and forbid all whole
sale executions. Carranza has not
replied definitely yet. He told Sill
man he does not intend to punish the
rank and file of Huerta's army. He
has not promised that foreigners will
not be interfered with.
Silliman said America would not
recognize Carranza's government un-
less he assumed power with clean
hands.
The constitutionalist junta here is
sued a statement declaring that Car
rama will not grant amnesty and will
invoke the "Juarez decree of 1862"
providing for the execution of any
one implicated in overthrowing ex-
ecutive power. Madero's murderers
will be slain if caught. The junta
denies that wholesale butcheries are
contemplated but insists that certain
executions will be carried on and "no
interference from the outside will be
tolerated."

states that Colorado, with the possi

advertised state in the union. Rail-
roads and newspapers everywhere
dwell especially on our climate and
scenic attractinons. The railroads are
trying to make Colorado the summer
playground of the world just as Cali
fornia is the winter playground, but
in the advertisements it is necessary
for them to generalize. It is up to
the different sections to set forth spe-
cial attractions. Has any portion Of
the state greater number of things
to attract tourist visitors than the
Durango country?

Population Must Not be Hostile, Gen.

The following proclamation, print

Moltke, chief of the Imperial Ger
man Staff, is said to have been post
ed in all towns and cities occupied
by the Germans in France:
"All the authorities and the mu-.

peaceful inhabitant can follow his
regular occupation in full security.
Private property will be absolutely
respected and provisions paid for.
''If the popuation dare under any
form whatever to take part in hos
tilities the severest punishment will
be inflicted on the refractory.
"The people must give up their
arms. Every armed individual will
be put to death. Whoever cuts tele-
graph wires, destroys railway bridges
or roads or commits any act in de-
triment to the Germans will be shot.
Towns and villages whose inhabi-
tants have taken part in the combat
or who fire upon us from ambush
will be burned down and the guilty
shot at once. The civil authorities
will be held responsible.

DESCRIBES WAR SCENE
ROADS STREWN WITH DEAD AZ
TER GERMANS PASSED.
Desolation Of Country Beyond River
darne is Revealed by Correspond
ent Who Followed Armies.

The country beyond the Marne
over which the German host rushed
towards Paris, and over which the
latter hastened in retreat, is worth a
visit, if only to show what war IS.
The farm houses are blackened by
shells, the haystacks masses of smok-
ing carbon; the roads are zigzagged
with trenches and broken by the
great wheels that has passed, and
their hollows are filed with rain.
Shell fire has smashed trees and
blown deep holes in the fields. A
land as wide as England looks as
though great hurricane full Of
lightning which had missed nothing
had passed over it.
Long professions Of motor cars
and wagons, anything on wheels,
pass continually south, bringing
loads of shattered men. Nearer the
firing line one comes upon villages
where the walls of the houses have
collapsed into the streets, and piles
of wrecked furniture, agricultural
implements, and farm carts show
where the barricades and mitrailleu-
sese were.
Cottages have mattresses half fill
| ing the window spaces. There rifle
men made a stand. In attitudes OF
dreadful and pitiful last collapses
they lie spread-eagled on the road
on their backs or sit against walls to
which they had crawled in agony,
staring with awful eyes at nothing
on the ground.
Dead horses are everywhere, and
so are their abandoned but living
fellows, standing motionless with
shocking wounds waiting for the
end. Everything is wet with rain,
but the puddles are thick and dis
! colored.
All the towns south of the line OF
battle, says an Englisr writer, have
been converted into Aosp1tal bases.
At Orleans he was informed that for
five days 1000 wounded passed
throuh daily. A French medical army
doctor showed me a scene at night
| when train arrived with its wretch
ed load. 1t had travelled for at least
ten hours from the battle line.
No British were there; the stricken
were French and Germans. Rapidly
the great medical staff went over the
| consignment, rebandaging where nee
essary and sorting out serious cases.
These were to be retained; the others
were to continue their journey to an
| other base.
Under an electric globe in the sta
ton hall was a young Prussian Off
Ger. A bullet had passed through his
body. Even while he was being held
up he died, but he had given mes
sage for his wife and two young chill
dren.
The French gave the wounded
Germans first and special attention.
There is no hatred of the foe shown
by any of the allied forces, except
ing, it is necessary to add, by the
Turcos. In the morning when the
business is over the station floors are
cleared and washed and disinfected.

fortune. I could not have hoped
that circumstances at this stage Of
the war would have been so favor
able for the Allies.
GAS far as the navy is concerned
it can not fight while the enemy re-
mains in port. We hope that the
navy will have the chance of settling
the question with the German feet
yet If they do not come cut and
fight in time of war they will be dug
out like rats out of a hole

TRAIN WRECKED.
Ten Lives Lost and Many Injured in
Alabama Wreck.

Alabama Wreck.
Search was being made Friday
night for train wreckers believed to
have caused the death Of ten persons
and the injury of thirty others, by
derailing Queen and Crescent train
No. 2, at 3 a. NJ. Friday at Living
ston, Ala. Bloodhounds failed to
pick up trail.
William Jones Of Birmingham, en-
gineer of the wresked train, who lost
his life, is said to have been given the
"clear" signal at the last automatic
switch post before the Klondyke
switch, where the wreck occurred.
Supporters of the "wrecker" theory
think some one tampered with the
switch in the brief interval after the
train passed the block and before it
struck the switch. It also is said
that the switch was thrown against
the train; that the switch light was
out, and that the oil tank of the light
was empty.
