1t is declared that the pursuit OF
the bandits under the leadership OF
Francisco Villa was taken mp at once
after they began their depredatione
and that the duty of stamping out
these outlaws rests with Mexico and
not with the United States.
IN substance the Mexican govern
ment denies the right of American
troops 10 occupy Mexican territory
and declares that the presence Of
United States troops in this country
is a violation Of the national rights
The state follows.
1T seems strange that the de-
partment of state should show sur
prise and disappointment for the
tone and character of the note Of
the 22nd Of May, which IL calls dis
courteous when the same depart
ment of state has sent 20 the consti-
many notes not only discOurteOus,
but naughty TO say the least.
During the same period 20 which
the note alludes 140 Mexicans have
been murdered in United States ter
ritory by American civilians and the
same government authorities have
also participated, although the two
countries were at peace and in none
of those cases although representa-
lions have been made TO the depart
ment of state through our minister
at Washington the guilty have never
been brought 10 justice or punish
ed. These acts have been committed
by Americans in American territory
or Texan Mexicans against the lives
and interests OF some Americans
The government of Mexico cannot be
held responsible for those acts which
have taken place in foreign territory
and which should be charged 10 the
nationals of another country Be
sides the American government was
well aware Of all these facts before
recognizing the constitutionalist gov
eminent and il now appears irrele-
want or out Of place 10 bring these
facts forward 50 as TO make a base
for an unjustified negative 20 with
draw the American troops from our
territory
1T is not true that the Mexican
government or its authorities had
protected or covered the criminals
who are claimed 20 have committed
these depredations and crimes In ter
ritory Of the United States. This
can never be proven by the Ameri-
can government

what she would do with her money
did she mean to save It? Save IT."

food TO the front line. Men in these
trenches were starving for days
The nightly raids on German
trenches accounted for many of the
defenders of these positions. and also
enabled the British to observe the eff
feet of the artillery fire during the
preceding day, and thus returned with
much valuable information.
The number of prisoners taken in
these raids has not been disclosed
but the correspondents have been
permitted to say that men were cap
tured from every battalion in the Ger
man line opposite the British forces.
Will Affect German Morale.
The information thus obtained
shows that not a single German regi-
ment has been removed from this
front. The number of Germans OPP
posite the British front and in re-
serve behind the lines was estimated
a month ago at 100000
The sector of the German front on
which the British have assumed the
offensive forms a considerable bulge
in the British line. The southern end
rests on the Somme, which is for
midable river in military operations,
because it breaks into many channels
flowing thorugh broad marsh, espe-
cially at places where it has not been
surveyed 1t is a broad, rolling eoun-
try over which the British are push
ing, although different from the fat,
marshy and bleak aspect of Elan
ders. It's rounded chalk hills are
densely wooded.
At many points on this sector of
the British front it is possible to see
the trenches of the Germans winding
about the opposite slopes. A military
expert, writing of the offensive, says:
1T is safe to say the Germans new
er expected great attack in this
country. We may hope, therefore, for
a reduction of the German salient
there and the securing of better
strategic positions. Far more impor-
tant than that, it is certain that this
attack will be very destructive to the
morale of the German troops. But
what must be borne in mind now is
the much greater length of front the
British hold. We attacked on about
one-quarter of the length of our
front"
