With americans little army in imminent dam

ranzista forces, with American soldiers in danger
of being moved down by American bullets from
American rifles which the Government permitted
to be supplied to the rival bandits of Mexico the
American people cannot help lamenting that March
4, 1917, is eleven months hence.
That this is the state of mind of of all
parties is an undeniable fact. The organs of one
set of bossr* the other party may try to put a
different aspect on the situations, but this does not

desperately playing up Hughes. But and
more of the people are manifesng a disposition
to do their own choosing and if they don't control
i certain convention in Chicago in June, they'll
certainly have their say in November.
There aye sim sctre people who cannot believe
that Justice Flu: hes Will allow himself to be used
as a mask by the Barnes outfit. That depends. 1t
is of record that hen, Governor, he was in the
way of Rarnes machine, he allowed himself to be
removed fron IRE battlefield at Albany by pro-
motion. II would he unique in warfare for the
commander of winning host to accept promotion

HE'S RESPONSIBLE
Carranza Issued Passports to
Americans Slain.
Assured Watson Troop Guard
Not Necessary.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Evidence col
lected at FL Paso by state department
agents Indicates that Carranza au-
thorities at chihuahua assured c. r.
Watson, head of the party of Ameri-
cans killed near Santa Ysabel, that
no escort was necessary. In that
opinion many of the Americans
agreed. although they had suggested to
the authorities advisability of sending
troops with the party.
The advices further stated that the
Carranza government of Chihuahua
gave Watson personal paGspo-t and
that the Carranza immigration au-
thorities in Juarez gave a passport for
the whole Watson party. These de-
velopments are taken to point to re-
sponsibility of the Carranza govern
ment for not adequately protecting the
Americans
