Ell Paso, Texas.-A manifesto bear.
ing the name of Francisco Villa and
printed at San Andreas, chihuahua,
copies of which have been received
here, set forth his reasons for wag.
ing wal in Mexico. The document,
which is signed by Villa as com
mander in Chief" emphasizes the slo-
gan, Mexico for Mexicans."
Cites Belgium as Example.
All the peoples of the earth" the
document begins, "are capable in de-
termtned moments of the greatest
sacrifices when they see their nation
al integrity menaced and when their
rights as free men have been ieopar-
dlzed. OF this we have a beautiful
example in the titanic confederation
OF Europe, but particularly in the he
ro1c Belgium. which, belonging to one
OF the most cultivated peoples of the
globe, went into a devastating war
without the most remote hone of viz.
tory, but conscious of duty done.
Our fatherland also has arrived at
the solemn moment when we must
oppose the uniustified invasion of our
eternal enemies, the barbarians of
the North"
c~arranzlstas Are "Renegades."
Villa then calls on M~exicans to
initiate those people who, Serene and
smiling, offer their lives" in their
country's defense. He regrets that
Mexico cannot be united because of
the Carranza partisans, whom he
calls renegade patriots
The reason why he could not re-
main inactive, Villa said, was because
the constitutionalists, instead of re-
polling invasion, exploited the ma
tlonal situation with refined wicked
ness for their private benefit" He
declared his only object was to "over-
throw treachery' and place in the
presidency any capable patriot.
Villas declaration of principles in
clude the following:
Free suffrage in which the mill
tary vote will be included with pun-
lshlng with death. all those not be-
having themselves in the election.
The making of military chiefs in

Business.

Washington, D. CA new note
to Germany on the general submarine
situation appears to be among the
possibilities which may come out of
the latest activities of the undersea
boats.
If decided upon, such a note would
be for the purpose of clearing I'D
what appears to be differences of in
depreciation in Washington and Berlin
as to what Germany's pledges in the
Sussex case covered, especially as to
armed ships.
Secretary Lansing said that no fin
al course of action has been agreed
upon by President Wilson and him
self.
Although the state department has
beefng going on the principle of de-
Gliding each case separately on it's
merits, it was said that the number
of cases has reached such proportions
that some general action would be
justified, although 1t was made clear
that nothing has been determined up-
on.
Developments of a Day.
The developments in the situation
were: The United States asked
Great Britain for information to de-
termine the status of the Arabia,
which a German submarine command
er took for an armed transport, and
official information coming to the
state department established that the
British ship Marina, torpedoed with
a loss Of six American lives, was in
no sense a transport, and was EMIT
led to the impurities of a peaceful
merchantmen.
In both cases Germany has express
ed a willingness to offer amends if
her pledges were broken.
