carran.a Aids Go Mistaks.


Washington. March At developed
today that in Its determination to effect
q virtual withdrawal Of Carranza from
the position set forth in his notes. the
United States will employ Consul Car
others, who has gone to Nogales, and
will enjoy the assistance of the Wash
ington agents Of the Mexican revolu.
tion.
This assistance will not be rendered
by reason of any solicitation upon the
part of the state department, but be-
cause the Washington representatives
of Carranxa consider that their chief
erred grossly In his rebuffs Of the Unit
ed States and Great Britain.
They appreciate to the full the harm
which has been done their cause. and
the weakening Of Carranza's hereto
fore strong position with relation to
the Wilson administration by his "im.
possible" demands upon Washington
and London.
Will Ignore Rebels Demand.
Great Britain, and also Spain, which
is involved by reason of q case against
the constitutional authorities somewhat
similar to the Benton case. will not
even consider granting Carranza's de-
nand for direct dealing with him, In
stead Of thru the United States.
The United States will be no less firm
in refusing to accept Carranza's con-
ception Of what the Washington gov
crnment can and can not do in the
Mexican situation.
The rebel leader will be informed
that the United States will insist on
doing business with him whenever
necessary to fulfill the obligations It
has undertaken with regard to the pro-
lection OF European interests In con-
StitutionAlist territory.
Benton Investigation on?
The proposal to investigate the death
Of Benton, by means Of an examination
OF his body, which Villa says Is in
Chihuahua, has been shelved, pending
the establishment Of q satisfactory
basis for relations with Carranza. The
opinion is generally held here that the
proposed commission will never 90 to
Chihuahua as planned.
The British embassy, and practically
every official at the state department
except Mr.. Bryan, has expressed the
conviction that Benton was murdered.
Il Ii believed Mr.. Bryan privately
shares the general conviction as to the
cause OF Rentonss death.
Action upon the part Of the United
States with regard to the deaths of
two American citizens in Mexico is pro-
ceeding q slowly as the Investigation

REV. THOMS RESIGNS AT
VERMJLIION: HERE. SOON

Rev. Craig S. Thoms of Vermillion,
S. D., has resigned from the pastorate
of the First Baptist church of that city.
and members of the local church are
anxiously awaiting word from him as
to whether he intends to accept the
call issued from this city some time
ago. Rev. Hurley resigned from the
local church and went to Atlantic, Ia.
and since that time the local Baptists
have had no regular pastor. Rev.
Thoms occupied the pulpit here one
Sunday and was so well liked that the
members decided to make an effort to
secure his services.
The fact that he has resigned his
Vermillion charge is taken here to in
dictate that he intends accepting the
call to Moline.
