NOT AN INVASION.

(Raleigh, n. c., News and Observer)
The movement of the United
States troops into Mexico is not an
invasion Of that country. 1t is mere
ly a punitive expedition for the
capture of Pancho Villa either dead
or alive that he may no longer prove
menace to America and American
citizens. his activities such as to de-
mand the presence of troops pa
trolling the border between the
United States and Mexico.
Because of this purpose the Unit
ed States troops do not wish to oc-
cupy any city or town. Their only
purpose in Mexico is TO lay hold on
Pancho Villa that they may rid our
people Of the menace of his raids
across the border, and OF his ter
rcrizing Of Americans engaged in
business in that part Of Mexico over
which he rOams and over which he
appears to exert control.
Because of this it was easy 10
agree with Gen. Carranza that our
troops would not occupy Mexican
towns. In fact it can be considered
nothing more than a proper objec-
ton. Always it must be remem-
bered that the Carranza government
is not yet firmly in the saddle. and
that If we want TO see peace re-
stored in Mexico we must be will
ing 70 do that which will arouse no
antagonism on any minor questions,
for none of them involve prin-
ciple.
Concerning this matter the Phila-
| delphia Record well says:
Gen. Obregon's objection to the
occupation OF any Mexican cities by
the American punitive expedition,
which has been communicated by
the subordinates Of Mexico's war
minister TO the American cOmman-
ders. is a very proper one. It. was
hardly necessary 10 present the mat
ter in the form Of an objection.
American commanders know the
difference between a punitive ex-
petition and an invasion: and IL il
should be necessary for our forces
/ q halt OF establish a temporary
sub base. a camp out on the mesa
would serve as we'll as a group OF
adobe houses called a town. Since
this expedition carries all Of its
supplies along with il on the march.
there is no need Of a line OF COM
muniCations or OF garrisons 10 guard
the same. OF course the Carran-
lists must put no impediments in
the way OF our troops. and any hos
tility on the part OF the former
would change the aspect Of the affair
materially"
