FEAR WILSON DOESN'T
KNOW THE SITUATION

WAsHtNGroN. March ci-It became
known here to-day that foreigners in
Mexico city and particularly Americans,
feel that the United states Government
does not fully appreciate the situation
in the Mexican capital and the necessity
for further action than has yet been
taken by the Wilson Administration.
Dispatches have been received here
Within the las, few days through diplo-
matte channels indicating that the news
given out at the state Department dur
ing the recent critical days in Mexico
city did Mt by any means tell the whole
story
Inasnuch as the state Departments
advlces are now practically the only
direct means Of getting Information
about events in the Mexican capita,
anything withheld at the Department Is
likely TO remain secret for a consider
able period OF until other reports can
reach this country through less direct
channels.
An example of this has just become
known in connection with the murder of
John H. McManus with the American
flag dying on his house and he doors
bearing the seal of the Brazilian Con-
sulate.
After killing MoManus. 1t became
known to-day, the Zapatistas tore the
American flag from the building. II was
first shot full Of holes, then dragged
through the air, anu dctiled.
