REFUGEES CURSED BY
CARRANZA'S SOLDIERS
Passengers Arriving at Douglas Tell
of III Treatment They Are
accorded

DOUGLAS. Ariz. March IA
American refugees who arrived here
today from Nacozari declared that
they had run a gauntlet of curses
hurled at their train by CarranZa
soldiers who lined the tracks at
Cabullona.
Refugees from Cananea reported
that General Gales has placed that
town under martial law. A decree
had been posted in all public places,
they said, stating that no person
would be allowed to remain who is
not engaged in business there or can
not give satisfactory reason for his
presence. The hotel registers are
watched closely and all train arrivals
are closely examined. They are put
through strict catechism as to
where they came from and why, how
much money they have and how long
they propose to stay.
Police patrols armed with rifles and
revolvers. parade the streets night and
day and have orders to disperse crowds
and prohibit lettering. The refugees
assert that several men have been
shot on the streets for not moving as
quickly as the patrols thought desir-
able. They also maintain that the
majority of the people of the town are
sympathetic with Villa. The mines
and smelters are said to be still work
Ing their full forces.

TAKE FIVE YEARS
TO SETTLE MEXICO
Find II Difficult Task to Capture Man
In His Own Country With
Own Friends

NEW YORK, March l4.-Col. Ed
win f. Glenn, chief of staff of the
department Of the east, told the
Sphinx club tonight that "the United
States army is pathetic and all the
other nations know it,"
"Our army is like a fly gazed at
through the wrong end of a tel
escope," he said. Until the European
war came you have shown as much
interest In our army as you would a
fly"
Regarding the Mexican situation he
declared:
Some of us have had experience
In capturing man in his own coun-
try, n man who has his own friends
| tell you 1t is not a matter of a day.
Ii is matter of months, maybe years
I'VE are told we are not going to
war but to capture villa; let us look
at the reverse side. Suppose Mexico
announced she was going to send five
thousand men or ten thousand or
twenty thousand men into this coun-
try. How long would we stand for
1t? DO you think Mexico is going to
stand for It?
81 have studied the Mexican situa-
tion and have figured that II we are
going In there to stabilize the govern
ment 1t will take five years and at
least one hundred thousand men Sr
more TO do 1t properly"

\ MAN OE HIS WORD.

Whatever may bc said in criticism
Of villa. and there IS room FOR
plenty it must be acknowled that he
ALWAYS tries faithfully to tccp his
promises. especially when those prom
iscs are Of a vindictive nature. Soon
after recognition was granted Car
rama he made the promise that he
would compel the United States to
intervene in Mexican affairs. The
idea was that if he could not be the
boss Of Mexico. he would see to it
that Carranza should not be for very
long. His expectation evidently was
that he could stage a series OF out
RACES that would aPerayate Mr. Will
son into permitting an invasion of
Mexican territory, that such an inva-
sion would be resisted by the de facto
government, and the result would be
that American arms would depose
Carranza and set up new regime
NHu'l american Ilptt'llbH. II WAS
not that Villa himself expected to
profit by the change, but he would
have the satisfaction Of rejoicing at
Cnrranza's downfall. His plans were
built on the rule or ruin, dog in the
manCer principle And Il must be
said for Villa that he has made an
excellent effort to carry out his pro-
gram. He has at last reused the ire
of Uncle Sam beyond the restraints
now on Mexican soil. Should the
de facto government have attempted
to resist our punitive expedition, the
result would have been an American
seizure of Mexico and the fulflmcnt
of Villas intent. Right here, how
ever, the bandit chief seems to have
made miscalculation. Carranza. in
stead OF taking offonse at the Slocum
raid, has indicated that he would, II
not actively assist at least passively
permit the American attempt to cap
ture the bandit and his gang. The
best laid plans OF mice and men can
not fathom the workings of the
Latin American mind.
