WILSON PUTS IT
UP To CARRANzA

Run Down MuTdOTGTS.
BANDITS MUST Be PUNISHED

President and His Advisers Declare
Strong as Ever Ths' @1e United
States Shall Not &c Forced Into In
terVention In Mexico-General Car
ranza Promises Vigorous Action.
Days Developments.
Washington, Jan. 15.- President
Wilson mas decided to give General
Carranza full opportunity to run down
and punish the Mexican bandits re-
sponsibie for the massacre of seven
teen Americans at Santa Ysabel last
Monday.
Pending a demonstration in this
way of Carranza's ability to protect
the lives of foreigners in Mexico there
will be no departure from the admin
istration's policy of "watchful wait
ing" A decision to this effect was
reached at the cabinet meeting.
General Carranza has promised Wig
orous action. In a telegram to Are
6ondo, Mexican designate mere, the
first chief says: "The murderous at
tack on the passenger train near Chi
huahua was made by the only remain
ing band of outlaws in that region.
This band is being actively pursued
in order to insure it's capture, where
upon condign punishment which their
crime deserves will be meted out to
every guilty participant. The Con-
btitutiona!ist government troops have
been ordered to establish strong pa
trolls from end to end Of the railway
line in order to forfond against sim
liar outrages."
While the president and his ad-
visers are insisting as strongly as
ever on continuance of "watchful
waiting" sentiment in congress in op-
position to the policy and in favor
OF vigorous action is growing. An
other resolution calling for interven-
tion was introduced, and the sharpest
attacks that have yet been made upon
the presidents course toward Mexico
we're heard in the senate.
Some of the presidents supporters
in congress are showing signs Of wav
ering. Speaker Clark made this state
ment In regard to Mexico: There is
nothing to say about the Mexican sit
uation except that the United States
ought to compel the people down
there to respect American rights as te
persons and property"
