 Little was known here tonight as to the strength of the American columns or their mission but it was assumed that one of them might be detach- ment sent by General Pershing to attempt to rescue the survivors or the troops of the Tenth cavalry engaged at Carrizal.
 It is believed here that the Amerl- can command advancing in the direc- tion of San Antonio which is fifty miles southeast of Namiquipa, may be | in pursuit of bandits.
 A suggestion that the Carrizal fight was but an incident of what was | planned to be a general attack upor the American expeditionary command was received here late today iron General Pershings headquarters. Th' reports pointed out that only tho palpable strength of the American: deterred the Carrancistas.

Elias Gales, mill tary governor of Sonora, to investi- gate reports that Norton Hand. ar American miner, said to have beer captured by Carrancistas south o Naco, had been condemned to be shot and to insist that no action be takeI without a fair trial He also request ed that the body of A.

BRAVE TENTH TROOPERS ABLE TO BREAK
 THROUGH GOMEZ LINES AT CARRLZAL

No mention of the Mexican cavalry charge reported by the stragglers last night, was made in the Pershing re- port, but the fact that the Americans were able to advance and break the Mexican lines after the first attack is believed to give some indication that the charge was checked.
 According to stories told by the five men found at San Luis ranch after the MeXicans had opened fire with several machine guns, Captain Boyd

The Panama Canal is open again, better than ever. Not only has the quantity of debris that slid into the ditch been removed but channel has been made 300 feet wider at the place where the great Gen.

WE MUST SEE IT THROUGH

It evident in Mexico from the first that the United States having put it's hand the plow could back. The present opposition of Carranza and the resentment of the population hafexpected from the
 first, do change the situation It was necessary to Mexico punish Villa teach lesson Mexi- bandits in general It is than ever neoes sary stay there until that purpose is accomplished Villa may not be dead after all
 To withdraw our troops would mean encouraging Mexican awessness and contempt for the power of the United States. It would mean forays across the border slaughter of American citizens American soil We should then all over again and perform the task properly To recall part of the troops might be greater mistake, for it would only encourage subsequent aggressons but would place tine forces left in Mexico in deadly peril
 It must be recognized that after the clashes that have occurred between soldiers the natives friendly cooperation counted on As long troops remain in Mexico they will have be their guard against hostile people. Their task will grow continually difficult. They will need, there fore every and every bit of equipment that be sent them
 All this will be more and more distastefu to the Mexcans and their First Chief But if they don't like it. they have simple remedy Let them dispose of Villa their enemy than ours and army will retire from Mexico with promptness and celerity

HOW MUCH LONGER?

Those who expected that the German government would find preext for evading responsibility for the unwarned sinking of the Sussex with Americans board looked for ingenious evasion The expla- nation given would scant respect from any Am erican jury Congress President have accorded it scant respect.
 The last German note admitted that there was a Uboat operating in the precise locality where attacked and that torpedoed ship there at almost the precise time when the Sussex was blown up. The victim, too, hit the bow just as the Sussex with similar results. And yet asked to be lieve that the ship torpedoed the Sussex another craft which the Uboat commander decided mineIayer lawfully subject without warning As proof contention the German govefment sub mits sketch said have been made by the commander showing vessel differing certain respects from the Sussex
 If any other ship sunk in that part of the Eng fish Channel that time, it's strange the world has never heard word about it.
 It is possible that the U-boat commander is sincere He may have imagined he torpedoing minelayer instead of passenger ship His sketch may reproduce the image of distant ship dimly through peri scope it looked his excited imagination so there is another proof the npossibty of using submarines accurately according law reason, and therefore another argument against their being employed
 But if the commander believes what he is al. legged have reported, the German government take his report seriously and advance in formal dip lomatic note?
 It is strange-but there precedents enough It will be recalled that last May the German foreign minis ter assured the United States that the Lusitania auxiliary cruiser That defense dropped and the witness whose word Germany had accepted lightly is serving pententary sentence for per jury.
 Last fall, when the Arabic torpedoed, the Ger government cooly informed tha, she had tried the submarine, which thereupon attacked her in sefdefense. Later government informed that Germany withdrew that charge We had similar experience and again.
 Perhaps Germany will also withdraw her story of the Sussex attack when the evidence against her position is be overwhelming And she may do the with the and the next, long patience lasts
 How long will that be? What is the trying to maintain diplomatic relations with a government if that persstently refuses to deal with the demanded by all honest negotiations good faith?

DEFINING POKER

The legal status of poker has been established ten tativelv by formal opinion submitted for the instruction Of police magistrates by the district at torney of New York He holds of the magistrates did recently in a public utterance that poker. when played for recreation and for profit is not gambling It legitimate geutemans game, not subject to legal interference though of the gentlemen happen to win money by it.
 Such poker he explains belongs in che amateur class distinguished from professional poker. It is only the latter that is outlawed although heretofore in most com munities the prohibition has held to include both classes.
 The distinction between the two makes simple matter In professional illegal poker, there is oentage of the winnings reserved for the house If there is such rake-of, it is amateur game.
 This opinion, if generally accepted. would make il impossible for the police authorities anywhere to inter with the private playing poker in clubs private houses hotel As matter of fact. there has seldom been such interference in spite of laws whosc literal enforcement would ban card games when played for money Whatever may be thought Of the morals of it. ii must be said that the district attorneys opinion cords with the usual view

PUEBLO (COLO) CHIEFTAIN- President Wilson's message to Ger many may well be called the climax of blundering diplomacy. Considered in connection with the past record of tae administration it is a pitiful and most dangerous yielding of the high est weapon of national authority by one who is ineNpert and incompetent in their use. Without military pre- paration the United States is being ed against it's will into war with the greatest nation of the world and must rely for it's safety upon sn accidental and perhaps a quickly passing condi- tion in Europe.

FORT WORTH, tTEXD RECORD President Wilson has burned his bridges behind him. This is "Ameri- cas- last word" This ultimatum should satisfy the jingoes.

Perhaps it is the beginning of the end.

NEW YORK SUN--We must regard it (the address) as in part a repetition of true and now too familiar indict- ment of a civilized nation for illegal practices, and in part, re-statement of the Presidents views concerning his responsibility not only for the pro tection of American rights, but also for the general interests of humanity.
 The President went to Congress asking neither advice or expression of opinion, nor again legislative action. The publication of the notethis morn ing would have made superfiuous the delivery address to Congress, unless indeed, the President felt that his per sonal appearance at the Capitol ren- dered the war-declaring department of our government in some sense. partly to facts already accepted by the executives independent action.
