Grave Responsibility of the
United States In Mexico
(From the Washington Posi)

Every hour intonsifes the serious
ness Of the situation in the City Of
Mexico indeed throughout that re-
public-and serves to direct atten-
tion to the duty of the United States
government in the premises.
In July. 1900. Americans and other
foreigners were threatened with
death by a mob of bowling savages
in Peking, China. The foreigners were
mostly officials connected with the
legations The leading nations
promptly organized expeditionary
forces. which made their way to Pek-
ing and rescued the imperiled peo-
pie.
In July, 1915. Americans and other
foreigners are threatened with death
at the hand OF mobs and armed forces
in the City OF Mexico. II Is reported
that the poems have been melted 70

almost disappeared. and The soldiers
are taking possession Of the little
food In sight. leaving civilians 20

has been seized by armed forces and
given to soldiers. Mexicans are com

II appears, further. that the wires
between the City Of Mexico and Vera
Cruz have not been cut by Hapatis-
tas. but have been deliberately closed

zales, acting upon orders from the
first chief. Carranza. Tho only way
in which the United States can obtain
information regarding its imperiled
citizens is by courier.

THE PARnON OF rRANK.

From the Dover Index
The climax of what was probably
the most widely discussed murder
case since the shooting by Harry X.
Thaw Of Stanford White. the brilliant
New York architect, came with the
pardon of Leo Frank by Governor
Slaton, of Georgia This exercise of
the pardoning power Of the governor
came after the case had run the full
course of our judicial system.
The murder of the little factory girl
created a profound anger throughout
Georgia and the South. The news of
the murder was followed by an i'm
mediate cry for justice, a demand that
has grown more and more insistent
until apparently Georgians care not
so much whose blood pays the penal
~ as that some one pays.
The case is unique. in that the press
and the sympathies of the people OF
the country are so conflicting. Geor-
CLANS are united in condemning Frank
