Mexican Papers Show
AntagOnism to Americans

Fl Paso, Tex, June 13.-Newspapers
brought TO Ell Paso to-day from sew
eral cities in the interior Of Mexico
show Increasing animosity for Ameri-
cans. Editorials in most Of them refer
to Carranza's recent note as slap in
the face for Uncle Sam" while stories
of volunteer corps organizing for duty
in case of international trouble are nu-
merous.
The principal article in a leading
newspaper of Saltillo, semi-ofiicial or
gan, pointed out that while "the colos-
sus Of the North has an advantage in
numbers and supplies, the history Of
the Spanish Peninsular campaign shows
that poorly equipped troops were able
to break down the great army OF Ma
poleon. and guerrilla tactics now
should be able, in the event of inter
vention, to wear out the forces of the
United States"
To-day's reports to local mining
companies from their representatives,
il chihuahua City and Parral indicate
that the antagonism against the United
States continues, and that minor dem
onstrations are frequent, but that the
military has the people sufficiently un-
der control TO prevent violence. APP
prehension here for the safety of
Americans in those cities abated with
the receipt Of these dispatches, al
though rumors, apparently without
foundation, that several Americans had
been killed in Chihuahua City were
current
That some Carranza officials were
behind the sudden outbreak OF anti
American feeling in the republic was
the assertion of a well informed MeXi-
can on his arrival from the interior,
who said that they were supporting
sgitators for the double purpose Of
creating support and sympathy for the
Carranza government in its financial
and industrial troubles and embarrass-
ing the American administration, in
the hope Of forcing the withdrawal Of
the American troops.
Reports to the Mexican Consulate
here tell Of the capture at Temosachic,
Chihuahua, of Colonel Nalentin Vas
quez and Lieutenant Alexandra Amanda,
Villa officers.

A young woman who stood in the
crowd surrounding birth control dis

audience in Madison Square last night
went for a policeman when the speak

not meet her approval.
She told Patrolman O'Connor she

Twenty-third Street. O'Connor, after
examining pamphlets which were be-
ing distributed, arrested Lewis Cronin,
the speaker. and three men who were
selling booklets. All were locked up
at the East Twenty-second Street sta
ton, where the other prisoners said
they were Stephen Kerr, Joseph Cohen
and Richard Boysgian. They were
charged with selling indecent litera-
