Refugees Crowd Into Juarez- Outlaw
Stops LOOting-N Nothing Known OF
Americans in Fallen City.

JAUREZ, Mex-Ancient Juarez was
in the backwash of battle Thursday.
Thursday night the campfires of an
other remnant army burn on the
plains to the south. Grim cannon
are parked in the customhouse yard
with garlands of "jerked beer hang
ing from the muzzles of the guns
which recently hurled death from
their mouths.
In box cars women camp followers
of the Carranza soldiers cooked their
meager meals over charcoal braz-
lers, while barefooted children-many
born on tlefields-shivered from
the cold as they lowered in the lee Of
the big funs.
Since early morning this old border
town has been the scene of military
activities. Soon after Thursday the
first troop train brough the tagged
survivors Of the defacto force which
had fought at Chihuahua City against
Villa and has escaped to the nortf.
Accompanying this train was a sani-
tary section consisting of three second
class coaches and one white cross
hospital car
1t is believed by the refugees and
Carranza officers that Trevion left
forst for Taboloapa south of the city
and from there moved to Aldama,
about 20 miles from Chihuahua City.
Another report said the Carranza
commander was at Hacienda Dolores,
west of the city.
One Mexican civilian refugee de-
clared Thursday he had seen Francis
co Villa in the city Monday morning
before the train left. He said Villa
was walking without the aid of his
crutches as if to inspire his men with
his fortitude. His moustache was
shaved off and he looked much thin
ner than of old.
To obtain medicines for his wound
Villa is said to have broken into two
drug stores in the city after he had
penetrated the business section
Thinking this action meant the begin
ming of looting, Villa bandits broke
into stores and private homes, the re
fugee said. Villa, to stop looting, is
said to have shot two of his fol
lowers and succeeded in stopping thu
pillaging.
Nothing was known of the Ameri
cans by these refugees.
George Birmingham, an American
was seen at the station in Chihuahui
City, one foreign refugee said, but h
did not get away on the last train Al
of the refugees agree that there hat
been no killing of foreigners up t
the time they left, although there wer
rumors that several Chinese had beel
killd.

London Post Says England Protects
America From Aggression of Ger
many.

LONDON-The foreign office has
sent Ambassador Page note definite
ly refusing to grant safe conduct to |
Count Adaf Tarnowski Won Tarnow,
the new Austro-Hungarian ambassador
to the United States. The allies as
sert that the ambassadors of the CEN
tral powers are unduly active in 9TH
er than diplomatic lines. The same
question may be involved in the grant
ing of safe conduct to the Turkish
ambassador recently appointed. Re-
ports received from the United States
that an organized effort is being made
there with peace the objective has
brought out several editorials in oppo-
sition TO such move.
"If the allies are even reduced to
an armistice by the American in
trigues," says the Morning Post, they
would regard the United States a trait
or to the cause of world freedom
Therefore, we suggest to our Ameri-
can cousins that, as they have decid-
ed to take no part in the war except to
make money out of it, it would be wis
dom for them to leave us to fight out
what is, after all, their battle"
The Morning Post argues that the

anything they desire, but only on one
CONDITION, namely, that Germany be
allowed a free hand in Central and
South America.
"We understand" the newspaper
adds, that the condition has been put
forward, of course, discreetly and un-
officially, by the German government
and that it has been rejected by the
allies. But why should it be rejected
We are selling out South American
securities and if the Americans really
want peace and do not object to having
Germany for a neighbor why should
England intervene? Any time in
the last ten years we could have had
an agreement with Germany by allow
ing her a free hand across the Allan
tic. Great Britain stands between
Germany and America like the counter
scarp of a fortress, and if the Ameri-
cans induce us to peace before this
job is finished what they will have
accomplished is to destroy their best
defense against Germany.
"The Americans, who, if we may
say so with politeness, are raLneI
painfully ignorant of European af-
fairs, do not seem to realize what Ger
many is fighting for-nOt merely the
domination of Europe but the domi-
nation of the world And if the allies
are defeated what is there to stand
against Germany"
