developed the major OF the group had
been his garden mozo a few weeks be-
fore.
These revolts are pitifuily rare, for at
tempted resistance means merely greater
woe. Only a few weeks ago a sixteen
year-old girl, Miss Gutierrez, well known
among the foreigners. motoring IN the
wood Of Chapultepec with htr fance.
her parents and others. was deliberately
hot by an officer In a standing auto
mobile. escorted by tho inevitable harem.
The officer was known and was reported,
and was never punished. He Is said TO
belong to the family of Gen. Gonzales.
The shot which killed Miss Gutierrez
was one OF three fred at the unohendins
family party.
Revolution breeds disorder. but with
revolution supposedly past Mexican dis
order continues almost undiminished
The damage done BY the looting OF pri-
vate property and the deaths resulting
from plain murder are far In excess OF
all the damage done for anything resem'
bling q military reason.
Property has been lost IN all revoiu-
tons, but II Is not the customary thing
for the patriots to profit by this c'r-
cumstance. IL is not customary to con-
tinue the practices Of revolution simply
because the patriot does not wish 10 go
back to work and would rather rob.
To begin with, no ordinary citisenry
would tolerate the indefinite continu'
ance Of the outrages when the last mo-
tive for them WAS gone. Mexico's 80 per
rent. does tolerate II, and beyond q
doubt will continue to be robbed and
raped and starved and murdered just
AS long as the l5 per cent. choose to con.
tinue to do their patriotic duty TOWARD
these ends. The question Is whether
C~arransa can stop them.

GORE OFFERS HIS PLAN FOR
INTERVENTION IN MEXICO

WARRINGTON, Jan. l7.--MexIcan af-
fairs smouldered in the Senate to-day.
senator Gore introduced the resolution
he suggested on Saturday providing for
q neptral zone neal the international
boundary TO be patrolled by United
Statee troops cooperating with the
NexiaAns.
The Gore resolution provides that
this Joint patrol n the ILLUMINATION
Of thA neutral zone shall be by agree
ment with the Mexican authorities.
This 1s the resolution:
Resolved, That the President is
hereby authorized, and in case the
prevailing disorder in Mexico Is not
brought under control by the de-
facto Government thereof before the
approval of this act, the President Is
directed to enter into negotiations
With the recognized head of said Cow
eminent with IA view to the rstab-
lishment Of a neutral zone along the
northern border OF Mexico to be
Jointly pol!ced by the Governments
n Mexico and of the United states
until such time AZ order he restored
and the lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens rendered secure Under
the law. at which time the forces OF
the United States shall be withdrawn
from Mexican territory.
That in order to carry Into ef-
feet the terms Of any agreement en-
tered into in pursuance of this reso-
luton the President is empowered
TO employ such part OF the naval

to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
No action OF an important character Is
expected before the meeting of the For

At that meeting the Information from tie
State Department called for in the reso-
luton by senator Fall is expected to be
laid before the committee.

probably depend the trend OF discussion
and action. IL IL regarded certain that
unless action Is taken soon by the Gov

TO deal with the situation and restore
order, the Senate will act.
The action su gested is f~oreshadowec

favor such action. and many have so ex
pressed themselves. admit that a join

Editor Prospector: Lest we forget, permit me in this ruction over the Lusitania note (meaning of course, the first of the endless chain of notes) in connection with MT. Bryan's denial of the postscript story now disturbing the peace, be it remembered that just after Mir. Bryan slipped out of the job of Secretary of State and the first Lu- sitania note was published the ex-sec- retary emitted loud squawk averr- ing that the note was changed and modified after he resigned. Secretary Lansing denied the charge and the president allowed it to be unders. ood that Lansing's denial was straight goods.
 The news dispatch states that Mir Bryan said he did not resign from the cabinet until more than year aftes "the supposed incident" As the I.G | tania was sunk in April. 1915. and MT. Bryan resigned in June, 1915. ls'- cause he did not like the text of VII sons proposed note to Germany oi. the Lusitania incident" and the uCir or purported note was given out by the State Department day Or ;wn. later it is apparent that Mr. R'ya,' has the chronology of the incidcn' mussed up with his Chautauqua dates
