resent the typical farm districts Of
Mexico
Turning to border conditions, the
senator said:
More adequate preparations should
be made for border protection, not
necessarily because such defense may
be needed soon, but as a safety first
p~recaution.
Il do not know just who is to blame,
whether the state department or the
wal department, for the withdrawal
of the border patrol at Columbus, No
gales, and other points, but it was be-
cause Of this lack of protection that
made the Columbus raid possible.
There Is a nine-mile gap from Column
bus to the Gibson ranch unprotected,
and the Carranza trenches n within
10 feet Of Nogales. | am inclined to
think that the patrol which farmerly
was active along the border was re-
duced as a result Of the speech made
by General Obregon in FL Paso last
November, and that it was upon the
suggestion Of the state department
that the force was reduced at such
vitBlly strategic points as Columbus,
Hachita and other towns on the boun-
Diary line.
"The expedition would never have
been made had not the public senti
mAnt been so strong in favor Of Villas
capture. But even with the troops in
Mexico, there is no assurance that
any punishment will be melted out to
nersons responsible for the murder Of
Americans and foreigners In Mexico.
such as Santa Ysabel victims. 1t is
apparent that the Wilson administra-
tion has nc regard for American lives
in Mexico, and there is no question
Int that the troons will be withdrawn
innrnediately after the capture Of
villa"
Senator Fail said sentiment along
the border unanimously favors a gem
eral winding up of Mexican affairs,
which would mean a complete restor-
alton of order throughout the repub-
lie. He said the only persons who
show a reluctance to have the cleanup
are the copper mine operators near
the border who are getting 30 cents a
pound for their metal, and fear there
would be a shutting down Of several
weeks or months il the American
forces take Mexico in charge. He
said that If the effort to restore order
ends with Villas capture or death,
that the conditions in Mexico will be
little better than it was before the
Columbus raid, and possibly would be
much worse.

statement regarding the Mexican sit

ish question, but the fate of battles
brought them in contact with it. Now
this problem stands before the world
and needs to be solved. Germany and
Austria-Hnngary must and will solve
it. History will not admit that after
such earthquakes things will ever be
come what they were before.
"Afte rthe war there must be a
new Belgium.
Formerly Poland had been left in
the hands of a Russian police agent, a
man named Tshinovnik. Even mem
bers of the Russian Duma frankly adj
mitted that Tshinovnik should not re-
turn to the place where Germans,
Austrians and Poles have honestly
labored in the interests of this unfor-
tunate land.
MFR. Asquith mentions the principle
Of nationality. If he puts himself in
the position of his unconquered and
c%onquerable adversary can he really
suppose that Germany ever shall OF
her own free will deliver into the
hands of reactionary Russia the ma
lions between the Baltic and the Vol
hynian swamps who have been freed
by her and by her allies-no matter
whether they are Poles, Lithunians,
or Lavonians?
The chancellor began his address
by reviewing the military situation
which, he said, showed Germany's en-
emies have materially lost ground
during the last year. Discussing at
tempts he said had been made to
starve Germany, he said the empire
could withstand any efforts in that di-
rection, as the people we're conserving
their resources.
1--WE shall not run short of any
thing in the future, as we have not in
the past" he said, referring to the
meat consumption in 1870. The chan
cellor declared it was the intention Of
Germany's enemies to extend the wal
to the women and children by starva-
ton and exclaimed that no fair-mind-
ed person could blame that country
for defending itself by whatever
means at its command.
"Our enemies wish to destroy uni
ted, free Germany" the chancellor
went on.
"They desire that Germany shall be
again as weak as during past centur-
les, a prey Of all lusts of domination
of her neighbors and the ~scapegoat of
Europe, beaten back forever in the do
minion of economic volume, even aft
er the war. That is what our enemies
mean when they speak of definitive
destruction of Prussia's military
power.
"And what is our intention? The
sense and aim of this war is for us

Mr.. Ely's letter Is in reply to one
received from Mr.. Hammond, in
which the Clayton banker preached
the subject OF naming delegates for
both state conventions at the county
conventions to be held before April
20. and which have been called by the
state central committee to name dele
gates to the first state convention.
For some time it has been rumored
that both Bursum and Romero, the
other candidates for the Republican
nomination for governor, might at
tempt to select delegates for both
state conventions at the coming
county conventions in some Of the
counties, believing that they could
dictate selections at this time, and
that they might not be able to do SO
later. Ely expects to develop much
of his strength between 10Y and the
time of the second county conyen-
tions. and naturally is s~trenuously OPP
posed to any plan that would deprive
him of the possibility OF securing dele
gates to the nominating convention.

Of 100 Americans killed in Mexico.
To a representative Of the E PasO
Times Senator Fall said:
"Cafranza's scheme to perpetuato
himself is the most audacious thing
ever attempted. The a~utocracy OF
the car Of Russia is not in the same
class. The idea Of a maj Issuing an
order and signing II which reyokes
the constitution Of the republic, and
then be recognized by Wilson! 1t
would be laughable IL ii were not so
unfortunate.
'eoThe reason why the president rec
ognized Carranza is n Of the unex-
plainable things for which the Wilson
administration stands indicted. When
introduced my resolution two
months ago asking for the reason,
and the resolution was passed, there
was no response from the state de-
partment-an unheard of procedure
in legislative history, for common
courtesy demands the recognition OF
the receipt of such a request. Recent
ly the state department answered b
request in a striking way-by send
ing back a brief extolling Carranza.
and furnishing a list Of about 100
Americans who had been killed ! n
Mexico, the facts Of which had been
obtained only from Mexican sources.
CArranza Cannot Govern Mexico.
'Caranza has demonstrated that he
cannot govern Mexico. In fact, the
decree which he has issued, setting
aside the constitution Of the republic
and of the states, and placing himself
as dictator, is the most arbitrary
thing / have ever seen. And yet Will
son approved this document.
1.-THE decree signed by Carranza
gives himself power to name the gov
ernOrs. Judges, civil and military Of
ficisls Of the republic, despite the con-
stitutional provisions, and to continue
N control until such time as he sees
fit to enter Mexico City to restore
order and call for elections. When
he will have restored order, he is ex-
neeted to call his self-made congress
together to approve his DEGREES, and
then call for an election which will
be made-to-order.
His Land Reforms
1.-THE land reform which Carranza
proposes is one of the most absurd
things / have ever heard Of. He pro-
poses to divide the big estates Of Mex
leo into small tracts, to be sold to the
poems, and thereby change the plan
of working for landlords to becoming
slaves of the government or C~arranza.
He ignores the fact that the large
estates Of Mexico are without excep-
ton almost entirely comprising land
Of little agricultural value, and incap-
able Of furnishing a livelihood for
poems for farming. Such land as
would be co~nfiscated under the plan
would be the small tracts which are
