British subjects In Mexico. Prompt

The government will hold General
Carranza responsible and look to him
for reparation. Sharp, urgent rep
reservations to him are expected,
though formal action will be defer
red pending receipt OF official con-
firmation OF details.
The British embassy inquired In
formally concerning the British SUBJ
jects involved. and II is expected that
England will make separate pro-
test to Cararnza.
The state department expects that
Carranza Will promptly dispatch
troops to seek the murderers and to
protect other Americans engaged in

ARMED INTERVENTION IS
ARGUED IN j. 5. SENATE
Senator Sherman Introduces Resolution Seeking to Have
the United States Establish Representative Govern
ment in Mexico, Action Being Called Up by Massacre
Of Americans on Monday by the ViIista Bandits

Washington. Jan. 12.-Armed In
tervention In Mexico. establishment
OF representative government there.
and immediate American evacuation
after this has been accomplished, was
demanded today In senate resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Sherman
OF Illinois.
This resolution. actuated by the
Mexican massacre Of Americans Mon
day. had more or less OF counter
part In the house when Representa-
tive Dyer OF Missouri introduced a
resolution asking the president to ad-
wise congress II ''watchful waiting
ought not to be ended.
Both Sherman and Dyer are re-
publicans.
While these attacks were on In
congress, Secretary Lansing wired
Carranza about the affair. but the
state department said this message
was not a demand on him.
The department expects him to do
all he can. and there will be no ne
cessity for a demand for action until
the frst chief has shown he Is un-
willing to seek redress for the mas
sacres.
In fact, Lansing issued state
ment indicating that he does not hold
Carranza greatly to blame In the situ-
alton. but instead blames Americans
for remaining In Mexico In the face
OF warnings to leave. This state
ment said:
THE department feels that II took
every precaution to prevent Ameri-
cans from exposing their lives in the
region where guerilla warfare is in
progress.
He called attention to the fact that
passports to Mexico have been con-
sistently refused
Meanwhile the state department Ia
energetically investigating the mas.
sacre.
In congress the assaults upon the
administrations Mexican policy were
not confined solely to introduction oi
the resolutions. Senator Gallinger
declared that II was time to substi.

waiting"

CONSUMPTION IS
COMING IN ENGLAND

London, Jan. 12.-The govern
ment's bill compelling "slackers" to
respond to the call of Your King
and Your Country Need You," wheth-
er they wish to or not, seemed likely
to pass to second reading today with
flying colors.
A conference with labor leaders
was planned, In this government
leaders hoped to get labor support
for the measure, so that England
would at least appear to the outside
world to be a united factor In press
ing the war to successful conclu-
sion. The task appeared the easier
in view of the growing support for
the bill.
Sir Edward Carson, who recently
quit the cabinet, was on record today
as declaring the bill is essential to
success. In support of this state
ment he pointed out that lack of
men had been prime factor In de-
termining the failure Of the Dardan-
elles expedition. AT the same time,
he threw down the gauntlet to John
Redmond, deploring that the Irish
leader had not seen At to seek In
clusion of Ireland in the terms Of
the measure.

BULL MOOSE HEAD

Chicago, Jan. 12.--Peace between
the republicans and bull moosers

Perkins frankly stated today follow
ing yesterdays bull moose vote to
hold convention June at the same
time that the republicans do, and, IL

Only little coaxing, leaders de-
clared, Ia necessary to bring the bull
moose into the fold for double
harness race with the G. O. P. ele-
phant against the democratic donkey.
Perkins and others are hopeful
that Colonel Roosevelt will be the
chosen standard bearer OF the two
parties, but they are not certain Of
this result. Who is desired for Sec
ond choice has not been indicated.
Justice Hughes of the federal su-
preme court is strong with pro-
gressives In the east and west, but
nine out of ten Of the progressive
committeeman, whose session adj
journed last night, believed Roose-
velt will be the republican and hence
the progressive nominee.
Medill Mccormick, who recently
announced his transfer Of allegiance
from the bull moose to the republi-
can party, will be one of the princi-
| pal intermediates in the proposed
compromise between the two parties.
But. despite the virtual agreement
OF the committeeman to combine on
national issues. there will be several
hot state fights before local amalga.

The military evacuation of Cettinje
began Sunday, when the arsenal was
dismantled and everything Of military
value was removed. The new capital.
however, has not yet been selected.
The Austrians are striking forcibly
at the Montenegrin defenders, handi-
capped by lack Of equipment and
foodstuffs.
Mount Lowcen fell after five days
of terrific and uninterrupted bonn
bardment from q squadron in the
Cattaro gulf and from the forts and
lighter artillery brought up to close
range.
