GEN. VILLA PUTS
!. HIS FOES TO DEATH
Prominent Mexicans. Executed
by Order of Bandit Leader, is
Report from Texas.
Special. by United Press Wire.


Washington, Aug 1S:-The Next
can "manana" is delaying responses
to the Pan-American peace appeal,
officials here thought today. Though
only three days remain of the ten
specified In the peace plea for an
swers from Mexican leaders,, not a
single formal reply has been made.
Next Saturday is the last day of
grace
That Carranza is planning to
crush Villas army before answering
is believed by many. Secretary Lam
sing admitted physical delay in
transmitting the peace appeal to
Zapata and other leaders might
ed for responses.
Ell Paso Tex, Aug. 1S.-That General
villa is not in a peaceful mood is
shown by news received from Chihua-
hua city confirming earlier reports of
the execution of a number of men by
his order in that city following his re-
turn from his conference in Ell Paso
and Juarez with General Scott.
The executions took place on Sunday,
it is said, and the victims were some OF
the prominent men In Mexico prior to
the Villa rule or since he came into
power in Chihuahua.
Washington, Aug. 18.-The state de
partment is in receipt of information
that all of the leaders of prominence
In Mexico, with the exception of Gen
eral Emilio Zapata,i have received the
pan-American note urging them to ad-
just their differences in a peace con-
vention.
Advices received here indicate that a
battle, of Importance is now being
waged at Torreon between V1llistas
and force+of Carranzistas led by Gen
eral Obregon.l

HOUSING FEDERAL
/. CONV|CTS PROBLEM
Congress May be Asked to Ap-
propriate Money for Another
Penitentiary in Fall.
eofal bu United Press Wsre.

Special By United Press Wire.
Washington. Aug. 1S:-Houstng
federal prisoners has become so seri-
Gus a problem that it is possible con-
gress will soon be asked for an ap-
preparation for another penitentiary.
For want of room in federal places
the government has been distribut-
ing male and female prisoners among
state prisons, and there are good
reasons, it is thought, why these,
especially the women, should be di-
rectly under Uncle Sans control.
Inadequacy of present prison faeil-
tiles is causing Attorney General
Gregory no little concern. After a
recent inspection of the penitentiary
at Fort Leavenwerth, he announced
that he intended to ask congress to
make further provision for prison
erS
There are but three federal peni-
tentiaries-Atlanta Ca, Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan, and Mcneil Island,
Wash. A new one probably would
be located somewhere in the East.
That would strike good medium,
1t is thought, between Atlanta and
E'OrC I6aVeuWOTtu.
lone of the reasons why the fed
eraI government should cease send
ing it's prisoners to state ~institu-
tions." said the attorney general, is
that the parole law cannot be pro-
perly administered unless prisoners
are kept directly under the eyes of
government agents. Then, besides,
this thing of scattering women pris-
oners all around is bad generally"
The need of a special prison for
women was emphasized by the attor-
ney general. The possibility of such
an institution being authorized is
considered remote, yet the head Of
the Department of Justice will
point
Uncle Sam has only about forty
out of about 500 women in his own
prisons. There are approximately
600 males that the attorney general
thinks should be taken out of State
penitentiaries.
Labor at federal prisons is dis
tinct problem with the Department
of Justice. If the attorney general
can have his way all federal prison
ers will soon be turning out general
supplies for the government, ,includ-
ing equipment for the army and navy
such as uniforms, shoes and caps.
| Congress will be asked to authorize
this The scheme has worked well
in Japan. This is pointed out as an
other reason back of the plan for
| the concentration of all federal pris-
oners in federal places.
There are approximately $500
| federal prisoners in all and their
combined labor on supplies would
save Uacfe Sam large sums OF
| money.

Alr Roosevelt. writing in the New York Times. says:
 It will never be possible in any war to commit q clearer breach of inter national morality than was committed by Germany in the invasion and sub Jugation of Belgium and in the viola . ton ot the fundamental principles of the Hague Conventions.
 If the United States had a serious purpose when il entered into these Conventions. then it's plain duty, as u trustee of civilization Is to investigate 6 the charges of the violation of the Hague Conventions. II an investigation IS made and the charges prove to be well founded then the duty of the States Is to take whatever action may be necessary to vindicate the principles of international law.
 The eXtent 10 which action should go may be the subject of discussion, but that there should be some action is
  bey ond discussion. IL is quite lndefen- sibie to make agreements and not live up to them. and il Is tho climax of ab- surdlty of any administration To do what the present administration has done during the past three months
 It Is well To remember that the spirit less and selfish type of neutrality that We are observing i'll the present war and in as much as We have not made single protest against Germany ; practices forbidden by the Hague Con ventions, il would be d rediculous hu- initiation for us 10 make the slightest appeal for assistance if ever we should suffer in a like fashion
