HOT JABS FROM NOTE
OF u. S. TO CARRANZA

/ IN these attacks ION specified Ameri-
can towns) on American territory Car
ranzista adherents, and even Carran-
vista soldiers, took part In the Iootine,
burning and killing.
! Since these attacks leaders of the
bandits, we'll known TO both the Mexi-
can civil and military authorities, as
we'll as to American officers, have been
enjoying with impunity the liberty Of
the towns of northern Mexico.
On January 10 train was stopped
by Villa bandits and 70 of the Ameri-
can party were stripped of their cloth
ing and shot in cold blood, in what is
now known as the Santa Ysabel mas
sacre."
Within a month after this barbarous
slaughter of inoffensiVe Americans it
was notorious that Villa was operating
within twenty miles of cusihuiriaehie,
and publicly stated that his purpose
was to destroy American lives and
property.
After numbering, burning and plum
dering, Villa and his bandits, fleeing
south, passed within sight of the Car
ranzista military post at casas
Grandes, and no effort was made to
stop him by the officers and garrison
of the de faeto government stationed
there.
While this government would deeply
=clret such a result, it cannot recede
from it's settled determination TO main
tain its national rights and to perform
its full duty in preventing further in
vasions of the territory of the United
States and in removing the peril which
Americans along the international
boundary have borne so long with pa
thence and forbearance.
! am reluctant to be forced TO the
conclusion which might be drawn from
the circumstances, that the de faeto
government, in spite of the crimes COM
mitted and the sinister designs of Villa
and his followers, did not and does not
now intend or desire that these out
laws should be captured, destroyed or
dispersed by American troops or, at
the request of this government, by
Mexican troops.
II denial is needed that this gov
eminent has had Interior and improper
motives in it's diplomatic representa-
tons, or has eounteHanced the aetiVi-
ties of American sympathizers and the
American press opposed to the de faeto
government, ! am glad most emphati-
cally to deny il. It is, however, a mat
ter of common knowledge that the
Mexican press has been more active
than the press in the United States in
endeaVoring to infIane the two peoples
against each other and to force the two
countries into hostiities.

LOOK FOR BRIGADE LEADER
Gen. c. r. 5oardman Mentioned for
Commander of Wisconsin
Troops in Field.

Milwaukee-There is a great deal Of
interest among military men of Wis
consin as to the probable commander
Of the Wisconsin brigade if it takes
the field as brigade unit.
There are now enough companies in
Wisconsin to constitute a brigade. For
this brigadier general may be named
and for the regiment OF cavalry a
colonel would have to be selected.
One OF the first to be mentioned for
the command of the brigade of infan-
try is Gen. c. r. Boardman, Oshkosh,
former adjutant general of Wisconsin.
His friends say that for years and dur
ing the Spanish-American war he wa
directly to be credited for the excel
lence Of the Wisconsin troops, and he
IS known nationally as one of Wis
consin's citizen soldiers.
One Wisconsin military man said
that if Gen. Boardman should decline.
regular army officers would probably
be taken into consideration for the
places. The two already talked of are
Capt William Mitchell, at present a
member of the general staff of the
United States army. and Capt. Lor-
raine T. Richardson. who is now as
signed to Wisconsin as inspector and
instructor at Madison. Capt Mitchell
started with the Wisconsin troops a.
a private in the Spanish-American
war, and has made his connection with
the army his lfe's career. He is a son
of the late Senator John L. Mitchell
and has been in charge OF the ayia-
tion corps

and this count concludes with the
charge that the Mexican government
itself refused to ratify the agreement
reached, thereby inferentially proving
its own charges unfounded.
The promises of Carranza to redis-
tribute his troops and TO pursue ban
dts has been so badly kept that this
government has been forced to the
reluctant conclusion that the de factO
government did not. and does not now.

Carranza that he gave orders TO Cen
eral Obregon to notify this govern
meut that no further punitive expedi-
lions would be permitted to enter Mex

failure to discharge this obligation. II
