Cabinet Decides to
Continue Present Policy;
to Let Carranza Act
BY Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 14.-At to-day's
cabinet meeting it was decided that
the present policy would be maintained
and General Carranza would be de-
pended on to punish the villa bandits
who killed American citizens.
No formal announcement was made
but officials close to the President de-
clared the administration had no in
tention of armed Intervention in Mex
leo at present.
The view was reiterated that Car
rama should be given an opportunity
to demonstrate his ability to restore
order. This was encouraged by a
telegram form Carranza to his ambas-
sador here, promising every effort to
run down the bandits.
The attacks on the administration
in the Senate and House were gone
over at the meeting and Secretary
Lansing presented reports from the
border.
1t was generally agreed that beyond
making the representations already
sent to Carranza with which he has
promised to comply, no further steps
should be taken at present. Whether
each member of the cabinet agreed
with that view was not disclosed.
Even should the attacks on the ad-
ministration continue in Congress it
was said by officials that the president
will stand by his policy of giving the
de facto government in Mexico an
opportunity to show whether it can
control the situation. Carranza's
promises will be accepted by the ad-
ministration in good faith.
The President and members of his
cabinet were represented as being
deeply shocked over the murder of
Americans but as believing that the
Carranza authorities should be able
to control the situation.

men and others expressing an interest
in their work. the Chamber wishes to
call the attention of businessmen to
the fact that natives of the Near East
who solicit in this country for religious
and charity aid to be expended in that
section have time and again been
proven frauds, and the venerable and
bewhiskered applicants for money in
the aid of charity from the Near East
have too often been proved to be
imposters, no matter how imposing
their credentials may be.
Furthermore, the fact that these
men have to support themselves out
of their collections and are vel
dressed, and the practical impossibilitS
of people in this country who have
relatives in Palestine, Armenia anC
Assyria getting money to those rela
tives through the best banking chan

there by a person who left Salonilti,
January s, that the allies continue to
land forces on a considerably increas-
ed scale at Saloniki and at Orfano
bay, so miles to the northeast of Sa-
lonilli.
Despite the heavy forces already
landed and concentrated in the Sa-
loniki camp. no purpose of taking the
offensive has yet been displayed on
the part of the allies, who, according
to this informant, have completed
their second line of defense, and are
working actively to finish the first
line.

hammer. His wife, the prosecutrix,
is tiny mouse-like woman who

She told q pitiful story of the awful

ed. Once he knocked her down and
kicked her, she quietly explained.
Condor was convicted, reprimanded

their former friends and companions.
The meeting ended, however, with
out any action being taken.
One hundred and fifty arrests were
made during the night. Beyond a few
broken heads, it was found none of
the MeXicans had sustained serious
injuries.
The disorder started early in the
evening when a squad of soldiers in
double column marched down Ell Paso
street and declared they intended to
clean the street" of MeXicans.
Every Mexican encountered was bowl
ed over. If he resisted, he was over
powered and beaten.
Troops Advance
General Pershing ordered four
companies of the sixteenth Infantry
to take charge after it was seen that
the police were unable TO cope with
the situation and lines of troops ad-
vanccd four abreast through the
streets and established sentries on
street corners.
Orders were issued that no one
should be allowed in the streets
without a permit signed by the pro-
vost marshal. While these regula-
tions were being put into effect, it was
reported MeXicans were arming and
the Mexican quarters.
Fate of Men Unknown
No word had been received here
early to-day concerning the fate of
Benjamin Smell and Frank Woods,

rection of the massacre in Western

Desperate Resistance
The Montenegrin force that was

sistance in the Lovcen sector is being
pursued, the Vienna official announce

treat seems to be into Northern AL

against Saloniki did not occur. The
rumors that the attack had been begun
against the forces OF the allies appar-
emily originated in the activity of the
French in blowing up the bridges con-
Meeting Saloniki with the road over
which the attackers would normally
travel. Bridges were destroyed by the
French not only at Demir Hissar, on
the Struma, in the neighborhood or
Series, but also at Kilindir, south of
