Capt. Lane. and foreigners tell me that

murdered Americans were shot from the
river banks while they were in boats.
Two were killed in a pumping station
near Panuco.
John Smith. engineer for the East
Coast OIL Company. was murdered
Saturday. He was shot by a Mexican

to do their work when Americans are

killed last week. The Americans were
unarmed. I vas unable to learn their

the killing are bandits from Carranza

Ell PAso, June 2.-Expressions Of
surprise and regret over the failure Of
President Wilson to devote even a para
graph of his Mexican note to the atroci-
ties perpetrated upon and the murders OF
Americans In Mexico during the four
years revolution were heard here to-day.
The El Paso Herald says the note indi-
Gates more Presidential interest In the
welfare OF Mexican poems han In the
protection OF American citizens abroad.
Among Mexicans tho opinion most
generally expressed was tina the do.

The hope apparently entertained by
the President that Mexico herself will
find a way to restore order In the u
try Is not shared generally by WASH
ington officials. They base this opinion
upon the known temperament of the men
now prominent in Mexico.

O~'Shaughnessy at Mexico city. acting on
his own initiative. invited a number of
Mexican leaders for a conference. He
asked them frankly what Mexican could
command the support OF all elements.
Each OF Mr.. O'Shaughnessy's confreres
arose and solemnly named himself a. the
man best fitted to restore order In
Mexico.

themselves to compromise on any one
officials who take a pessimis,ic view OF
the situation are convinced mat the
United States will be compelled ulti-
mately to intervene and assist the man

government.
The United States will have the cordial
support of Europe and South America
in any plan that 1t may adopt to restore
order In Mexico. The subject was dis
cussed at a conference to-day between
Secretary Bryan and the British and

Time for 4. =. to Act.

II Is time therefore that the Gov
nme OF the United States should
frankly state the policy which In these
extraordinary circumstances IL be-
IN it's duty to adopt. IL must pres
emily do what II has not hitherto done
or felt at liberty to do-lend its active
moral support to some man or group
of men. II such may be found. who raj
rally the suffering people OF Mexico
to their support In an effort to ignore.
II they cannot unite. the warning fac
tons of the country, return to the con-
stitution of the republic SO long In
allegiance and set up a Government at
Mexico city which the great Powers
OF the world can recognize and deal
with. n Government with whom the
programme OF the revolution will he
a business and not merely a platform.
I therefore publicly and very SOL
EMMY call upon tn eleaders OF factions
In Mexico to act. to act together and
to act promptly for the relief and re-
dempt!on of their PROSTATE country.
I feel 1t to be my duty to tell them
that II they n accommodate their
differences and unite for this great
purpose within a very short time this
Government will be constrained to de-
eide what means should be employed
by the United States in order TO help
Mexico save herself and serve her
people.

There Is 10 proper protection either

IN these circumstances the people

want nothing for themselves In Mex

Whitlock Explains
His Recent Actions

wINoNA, MINI. Nov. 2-Cspecial Tel
lock. American minister to Belgium, has
transmitted a lengthy report to the
United States government reviewing In
detail the steps taken by him and the
members OF his legation staff in conneo-
ton with the execution by the German
military authorities of Miss Edith Cavell,
n British nurse.
The minister declares that the reports
made by him on the subject constituted
merely a recital OF facts without express
sion Of opinion, and that he had sub
mitted them TO Ambassador Page at Lon
don for his Information, but not for pub
LEGATION. The British foreign office made
them public.
Publication OF the letters, Mr.. Whit
lock says. greatly embarrassed him in
Brussels with the German authorities, al
though he adds that the latter now seem
satisfied with his explanation. and there
Is no indication OF further difficulty.
