ZAPATA CREATES TERROR
BY MARCH ON CAPITAL
CBy the sun News service.D

El Paso, Tex, June 4.-Consterna-
ton was created along the Mexican
border and throughout northern Mex
leo today by news from Mexico City
that Emiliano Zapata and his forces
are pressing their attacks hard against
the Mexican capital. which was fol-
lowed by confidential orders to the
generals commanding Carranza forces
to hold themselves in readiness to
dispatch south any troops they can
spare If called upon to do so.
The sudden daring of the Zapatis-
tas in pressing so close against the
Mexican capital may result in the
Mexican troops recently rushed into
northern chihuahua ostensibly to put
down banditry.
This would greatly relieve the
strain now existing between the United
States and the Carranza government
over the question of the withdrawal Of
American forces from Mexico.

GERMAN TACTICS CALLED
milling OF HUMAN LIVES"

CBy SENATOR CHARLES HUMBER.
OF FRANCE.)
CBy the international News Service.D
Paris, June 4.-More than 100 days
have passed since the Verdun battle
opened and it still continues Persons
who despise the German tactics as
elementary and say that the Germans
are only stubbornly persisting in a mad
enterprise. are mistaken. When German
military critics reiterate that the only
draw the French army to Verdun and
waste it there, We ought to seriously
weigh what they say and not scoT.
Let US finish talking about stupid
stubborness when it is very probably a
case of minute calculation. Instead of
continuing to dream Of grand strategical
and tactical combinations let US get it
well into our heads that this war con-
sists OF stagnation, interminable bonn
bardments and long mechanical milling
of human lives, and let US feverishly
manufacture the crushing machines that
grind into the German reserves, that is
big guns.
The allies immense reserve Of men will
enable them 10 reduce the German hopes
to dust as long as We wage a war OF
attrition by shell fire. It is our urgent
duty to supply the necessary guns and
shells.

WILSON PLANS
SHARP REBUKE
Reply to Carranza's Note Ex-
pected to Contain Strong
Reprimand.
WILL NOT WITHDRAW U. S.
TROOPS FOR SOME TIME

sharp reply to Carranza's note will
be drafted early this week and proba bly,
be sent before the Republican national
convention adjourns. The President and
Secretary OF State Lansing will discuss
the reply today.
Because of the political motives imputed
to the Administration and the expected
attacks on President Wilson's Mexican
policy by Republicans, it has been de-
cided to couch the reply in the most
severe terms and indicate unmistakably
that the American troops will not be
withdrawn until peaceful conditions pre-
vail.
One high official intimated last night
that it would be the strongest diplo-
matte document yet drafted by this ad-
ministration.

The German guns had been relative

from the heavy Howitzers to trench

But it was not this time as it was
