EUROPEANS PROTEST.

Carranza and Villa have murdered
on a wholesale scale Cinnamon,
Spaniards and Americans, outraged
their women and confiscated their
property. So far as known, they
have murdered only one Englishman,
one Benton-and they thought he
was an American-and no Germans
or Frenchmen. Carranza, however,
has gone too far in his confiscatory
policy, as was to have been expected
Of a bandit, and serious conse-
Quencs promise to result. France

States with responsibility because Of
President Wilson's courses in driving
out Huerta and recognizing Carran-
"a, are preparing to inform this
country that anarchy in Mexico must
stop or they will employ forcible
measures-in other words, intervene.
Intervention would, of course, be
violation of the Monroe Doctrine,
but It is admitted at Washington
that the administration has no plan
by which to forestall such violation.
The Temps, OF Paris, official organ
OF the French government, asserts
that Carranza arbitrarily annuls le-
gal contracts and that anarchy ex-
fists; an anarchy for which the
United States is entirely responsible,
while the Atlantic City conference is
perfectly futile" 1t declares that
France still refuses to admit that
fits demands will remain without re-
suits, but II that should be the case
she will take such action as the situ-
alton requires in other words,
send an armed force into Mexico.
The French and British ambassadors
have renewed their protests to the
Wilson administration in terms far
more peremptory than heretofore,
and the British charge has clearly
intimated that unless President Will
son compels Carranza to conduct
himself properly, England will take
whatever steps may be necessary to
force him to.

rare interest in aviation. In fact,
he reads the papers every day with
view to ascertaining just which
factor contributes the most to the
sudden demise of the aviators on the
