Says People Along Border
Are Opposed to Hasty Action
in Mexico; Uphold President

People along the border are not
clamoring for hasty action in the pres
ent Mexican troubles, according to
First Assistant Secretary Jones of the
Department of the Interior. who today
issued the following statement con-
cerning the feeling of the people
there:
The people of New Mexico, as well
as all Americans, deeply deplore the
recent crime committed in old Mexico
against American citizens. They do
not in any degree feel that there is
any justification for those outrages nor
the punishment to be meted out to the
offenders. Yet even in that border
state l am convinced there is no gen.
eral demand that our government
should rush headiong ointo Mexican
affairs. This is no time for a stam-
pede.
"A strong arm moves slowly but ef-
fectiveiy. Important action such as
Intervention should not be taken until
after full information is obtained, and
not then unless it be found that there
is no other means for securing ade-
quate reparation. / believe these senti-
ments are almost universally enter
tanned by the people of New Mexico.
Only this morning l received from one
of the most prominent citizens of a
county which borders on Mexico a tel
egram, saying:
Irrespective of what sensationalists
may say, my observation leads me to
the belief that here along the border,
where people have in a way a better
opportunity to understand things, the
administrations handling of Mexican
matters has heretofore met with real
approval, and therefore in present
emergency whatever action may finally
be taken should be determined upon
only after the same kind of mature
elaboration heretofore exercised"

May Be Appointed Postmaster
of New York City.

President Wilson is considering the
appointment of Thomas Churchill.
president of the board of education of
New York city. postmaster at New
York. This consideration follows a
protest of William H. Anderson, SUPER
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
against the selection of Joseph johnson

master General Burleson.
The protest. it is understood, set forth
that Mr.. johnson was identified with
saloon interests at one time. which his
friends explained by saying that when
Bishop Potter established the subway
tavern some years ago as a reform in
stitution. Mr.. johnson assisted him in
the enterprise and was active in it's con-
duct.
What tho attitude of the Tammany
delegation in Congress, which has not

"Kermanshah has been for some time
under German control. 1t is an i'm
portant point to hold. because the roads
from the Turkish frontier meet there.
Last December there were reports of
an impending march by the Turks and
