Urges US.
Troops to
Withdraw

Ell PASO, April 6. - Consul
Garcia, Carranza's representative,
favors the withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops from Mexico. He de-
elared today that the army had
accomplished the purpose of
breaking up Villas strength.
THE forces are scattered now
and it is unnecessary to pursue
the campaign any farther" he
said. 1.-The withdrawal of the
troops wouldn't add to Villas
prestige.
His power has been broken.
The MeXicans realize he has been
defeated, Further progress of
the Americans into the interior
of Mexico might precipitate trou-
BILE.
THE expenditure has gone far
enough now to accomplish the
punishment of the Columbus
raiders. Had Villa met and de-
feated a small force of Americans
he might have become a hero,
but it is impossible for him now

ed. Carranzista and American
officials declared he has not been
seen since he, was reported
wounded near Guerrero.
The American pursuit is believ-
ed to have halted temporarily
south of Guerrero owing to the
danger of extending the lines Of
communication without adequate
railroad facilities.
1t is probable, however, that
500 cavalrymen have dashed to-
wards Satevo where Villa was
last reported. The latest tsei-
mates place his followers at $50
men.
Carranzistas insist he is SER
iously wounded. They predict an
early end to his flight.

DO penitentiarieS reform
the men who are locked
there in punishment for
crime?
spent three days in Walla
Walla penitentiary to learn the
answer.
FRANKLY I DO NOT BE-
LIEVE 1T is REFORMING ANY
ONE.
1t Is an institution that has OPP
Grated for decades under the me-
diaeval form. Only during the
last few years has any attempt
been made to improve conditions
and give the men inside" a
square deal.
Up to the present time I do
not believe that one-tenth of one
per cent of the men who have
been committed there have been
reformed by anything that they
learned within the four walls of
the institution.
Drum Effects eforms
Conditions there today are far,
far better, than they ever were
before. The prison reform move
ment began under the previous
administration, when Warden
Reid abolished the striped suits.
In the three years that he has
been in charge, Warden Henry
Drum has effected many marked
changes.
His first move was to take the
numbers off the clothing Of the
prisoners, and to cause the men
to be spoken to by name instead
of numerals. 80
Then he ordered the doors re-
moved from the dark holes" of
the prison.
He established the honor sys-
TEN, and has been building 1t up
month by month with remarkable
results. s.ss.s 81 -
There have been fewer esca pes
from prison and fewer outbreaks
among the men, since the honor
system was installed, than at any
previous period.

that many of the prisoners are

the text of the report.
Some officials forecast the
coming events in the following
order:
What Might Happen.
Germany's admission that a
submarine torpedoed the Sussex
and the American refusal TO ac-
cept German promises regarding
submarine activities.
A comprehensive statement by
President Wilson to congress re-
viewing negotiations from the
Lusitania to the Sussex ease and
giving Americas position.
The handing of passports to
Ambassador Bernstorff and the
recalling of L. s. Ambassador
Gerard from Berlin.
Then Up to Germany.
Events beyond that point will
depend on Germany. The admin
istration never has reviewed Off
cial intimation that a severance
of relations would result in war
with Germany. There have been
only indirect limitations from
high German officials.
The report OF the French adj.
miralty stating that a torpedo
damaged the Sussex is not accepts
ed as conclusive.
