tees for the lives and safety of for
eigners.
More information was sought from
all the State Departments sources.
Ellseo ArredOndo, General CarranEa's
ambassador here, received official
confirmation of the killings and asked
his government for more details.
While the White House and the
State Department gave evidence of
action toward the punishment of the
Villa bandits who executed the Amer
leans, there was no outward evidence
of any change in the Mexican policy.
The usual talk of Intervention was
aroused In Congress, and in official
circles, but there was no indication
that the Administration, at this stage
at least, plans to do more than look to
General Carranza to put down the
outlaws.
Satisfaction From CarranZa
Secretary Lansing's only announce
ment on the case was that the United
State would look to General Carranza
"for satisfaction" The question of
what steps the United States will take
depends upon development of the
facts.
President Wilson was in oommuni-
cation early to-day with Secretary Gar
rison and Secretary Lansing and issued
instructions to send to the White
House all facts as rapidly as they were
received. Advices that at least sixteen
Americans were killed were received
by Major General Scott, chief of staff
of the army, and also by the State De-
partment.
At the White House it was declared
that while something undoubtedly
would be done, what steps the govern
ment will take have not been decided.
Many Americans Remain
At the State Department officials re-
ferred to the fact that Americans had
been warned since the United States
decided to recognize General Carranza
to leave the States of Sonora and Chi
huahua, which were then regarded as
Villa strongholds. They said that in
spite of the official warning more than
500 Americans still remain in the dis
trict. including 200 Mormons at Casas
Grandes.
An official list of the dead received
by the State Department agrees with
the list contained in the news dis
patches with the exception that 1t does
not contain the name of Murray Cros-
sett. of San Antonio.
Execution Confirmed
Washington, d. c., Jan. 12.-Eliseo
Arredondo, General Carranza's ambas-
sador here, received confirmation from
CarranZa sources of the execution of
the Americans and has asked for fur
ther details. His advices are the first
onfirmation from Mexican sources.

Kaiser's Crack Men We're

BY associated Press

Chalons-Sur-M Marne. France, Jan. IL.
via Paris. - The fact that regiments
of the imperial guard We're among the
sixty thousand ment that attacked the
French lines in Champagne, on Sunday
indicates how carefully the Germans
selected their troops for theis great as
sault. a considerable number of pris-
oners taken by the French belonged to
the famous guards.
The attack followed one of the
heaviest bombardments the Germans
have yet inflicted upon the French po-
sitions. 1t lasted twenty-four hours.
Fhe promptness of the French reply
with concentrated fire from their
three-inch guns stopped the first waves
of the attack on the parapets of the
German trenches. Only at the fourth
attempt did the Germans, after heavy
losses, get up to the French trenches.
The surprising promptness of the
French counter attack caught the Ger
mans before they could organize their
positions they had won. Many were
obliged to surrender and only a few
got back to their own lines.

Supply Is Ample, but
People Must Economic

Berlin, Jan. II. via London, Jan. 70.
Count Weslarp, on behalf of a COM
mittee, reported to the Reichstag to-
day that the committee had carefully
examined statistical material on the
food problem and had reached the
conviction that the existing supplies
were ample to support the population
however long the war continues. The
report said especially that there was
no lack of the most common necessi-
ties, like bread, potatoes and meat.
Nevertheless the committee was con-
vinced that economy in consumption
was necessary and that the people
could not live as in times of peace.
The decomposition for an ultimate
German victory, the committee re-
ported, is economy in all directions
and the conscientious observance by
the people of the governments meas
ures for conserving supplies
