Must Do It Alone

Regardless Of whether the many rumOrs Of Carranza
troops joining Villa withdrawing from his path to
avoid him, grounded in truth not, the fact
cannot be evaded that if the Americans are to capture
Villa and his bandits they will have to do the work
alone and they will have to have stronger cooperation
from Washington. any Cauancistas really do extend
cooperation in the pursuit. much the better and easier
but it viii be folly to count them doing so. Non
interference is about all the Americans ask or
expect.
Cauanza troops are concentrating in considerable
force where they possibly be of any assistance
in the pursuit Of Villa There is nothing whatever

the Americans is enough to the Americans to lay

Carrancistas
All the warnings and mutterings Of discomfort on
the part of Mexicans Of whatever faction only serve
to emphasize the first duty Of the American govern

Panama and maintaining force in Mexico for the
so years. The Americans have shown that they have
Interior sinister purpose and they intend to prove
their good will and good faith by cleaning out this
bunch Of murderers that is following Villas leadership
Such act will be greater service to Mexico and
Mexicans than to anyone else

added to the freaks are very much larger number

which would provide a mobile army of about 100000

NO STANDARD CASH
 FOR GERMAN SAILORS

New York, Sept. s-That the Stan dard Oil company had stopped giving the funds weekly for their support was the complaint made yesterday to the Shipping Commissioner by nine Germans, representing thirty-five who had been on tank steamers of the German American Petroleum com- pany before the ships were transfer red to the Standard. They were in- formed nothing could be done for them, as they are not Americans.
 They said that under the German Marine Law the Standard Oil Com peny was responsible for their sup port until they could be sent back to their native land. One of them. Har- ry Brekwoldt, formerly second mate of the Phoebus, now the De Soto, said that after the vessels were placed un- der American registry the Standard Oil Company began the payment of weekly amounts to about seventy men at the >fequest of the German com pany.
 The amounts varied from $6.50 a week to $1O.5O. A week ago pay- ments stopped. The men showed let ters from David T. Warden, head of lHc SIcdUlSulp OcpdL OA thC OIdA- dard. which read:
 For many months past I have, at the request of D. A. P. G. (Deutsche- Amerikanische Petroleum Gesell- schaft), been assisting those of their employees who were stranded in this country and unable to obtain work. Conditions in this country for a long time past have been such that any men who honestly look for work can get it, and am beginning to feel that those of the D. A. P. G's men who have not secured work have not made a real. honest endeavor to find work
 '"The D. A. P. G. are apparently also of this opinion, because I have received instructions from them to discontinue the allowance which has been paid after the week ending Sept. 2.
 'I sincerely trist for your own sakes you are therefore making an honest endeavor to secure work in a country where work appears to be plentiful"
 When told that Anton Truckenmul- Ter, formerly cook of the motor vessel Hagen, now the Glenpoo1, was sixty five years old and blind, MT. Wa-- den said his case would receive imme- diate attention.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s45-samuel O'Rourke. famous Irish pugilist. died in Canada. O'Rourke's end was a tragic ona as he was murdered on the Ottawa by a man named Brady. with whom he had had h quarrel O'Rourke first fought in America in the early '30s, taking part in IA battles with the best of the American heavies, in all of which he was victorious. When Simon Byrne, the Irish champion. died from the results of his, battle with Deaf Burke in 1883, O'Rourke returned to the Emerald Isle and claimed the Irish championship. After several bouts he challenged Deaf Burke, the British champion. to fight for the title. O'Rourke declared that it was his purpose to avenge the death of Byrne, but he demanded that the mill be pulled off on Irishssoil, while Burke insisted that it be held in Eng land, and the affair fell through. O Rourke then returned to America and opened a saloon in New Orleans. When Burke visited New York in 1886 he was again challenged by O'Rourke, and went to New Orleans to fight him. Burke was much the better man, but after few rounds had been fought he was attacked by the mob and fled for his life, and O'Rourke was awarded the championship"

National Associations Platform Goes Through at Allan
 tic City.

Atlantic City, N .J., Sept. S.--While they did put through their platform and attended the numerous other de- tails, the National American Woman Suffrage Association, in convention at the New Nixon Theatre, was almost smothered yesterday in an avalanche of words. sThe record for the day was accomplished by Mrs. Carrie Chap l man Catt, president of the association. who spoke for two hours and twenty seven minutes, telling the delegates why she thought victory was in sight. Not to be outdone, the balance of the delegates decided right there to deliver a few verbal broadsides them selves. The speeches started when a resolution was introduced calling for the passage of the report of the exc cutive council as whole.
 MT. George Bass, of Chicago, said the report, which was really the plat form proposed by the heads of the various state organizations and the administrator, should be dissected.
 A vote was taken to discover wheth- CT there should be a consideration of the bill item by item. There was

 Amendments to amendments then became popular By actual timing the convention put one hour and forty- nine minutes deciding whether z spend ten minutes on the argument.
 nv,dY me amendments to amendments were all voted. down. The administration steam roller started steaming and rolling. Opposition suddenly fatten- ed out. The original motion to, adopt the platform as a whole was put. There were just three lonely nays. Even the administration leaders gasped. They had not expected such sudden and complete victory.
 The platform calls for million dollar war fund; a continuance of the state and federal campaigns and lob- bying at Washington, which. will be the headquarters; an executive ses- sion of representatives of each state organization at every annual session to take up reports; four national cam paign directors and 200 state organ izers; national and state press bu- reaus monthly propaganda In all languages of vote prospects; inves- tigation by the national board of all state activities before individual or ganizations start any legislative or local campaigns; the handling of all funds by the national bPard from one state to assist the work In another and that any state which does not desire to enter into the federal campaign may retain it's membership in the na- tional body so long as the state did not actively oppose the federal work.
 At the morning session the conven- ton elected Dr. Anna Howard Shaw honorary president for long term.
 After consideration debate 1t was decided that officers, starting with the election this year. should serve for two years.
 The motions to have only one or ganization in each state as the official representative of the national body was laid over for later consideration. The primaries will be held tomorrow. R1ATHISEeIoizSIAESGkYa.IAli@
