PROBABLY THE BREAKING OF MExIco's DARK NIGHT
Like the mills of the gods the government of the United
States slowly reluctantly but it never ~

alive and Villas hour has struck 1t has moved to do
something and better than that think and that
Mexico until all the present pesteous broods have
suppressed and the nocen and pacific and kindly peop
of that distracted country relieved and given chance
to pursue their allotted ways the security and orderess
that is their inherent right.
The Washington authorities correctly assert that the
movement only for punitive purposes, of assuring
the national frontiers from repetition of the raids DANG

ton being put under cannot do it's work without
Establishing certain authority that will be hard renquisb

Meantime Carranzas sovereignty and prestige will have been

In short incidents similar to that which led to the occupa

reasonably be expected to develop in this aggravated
situation that will lead to the extension of the pro-
