MAYBE, IN AN
OTHER DIRECTION

President Wilson in his speech
to joint session of Congress
Wednesday laid down the facts
concerning the attitude of the
u. S. towards German submar-
inc methods. 1t looks very much
like we must sever diplomatic
relations with the Imperial gov
ernment. The u. S. has reached
the point where she will no
longer tolerate the present rules
of warfare which she has been
using namely, the attacking in
discriminatory Of unarmed mer-
chant marines of neutral ma
tons with her submarines. The
Kaiser must either back down
or lose our friendship and es-
TEEN.
The big daily papers stated
Monday that Villas body was
disinterred and enroute to Juar-
ez. 1t was reported he died of
gangrene and was buried near
Parral. One Of Villas bandits
was captured by Carranza's men
and to save himself from being
shot led the men to the grave of
Villa. The Carranza govern
ment has not confirmed the re-
port, and the u. S. government
thinks it a hoax, concocted by
the Mexicans to give Villa time
to further evade the officers and
make safe his escape.
The u. S. looks with dread
towards the unfriendly act on
the attack of u. S. troops under
Col. Thompkins at Parral, where
one negro trooper was killed.
Col. Thompkins' men killed fifty
odd Mexicans while retreating.
The u. S. troops were invited
into the town and later fired on
by citizens and Carranza soldiers
alike.
Gen. Pershing says in his re-
port that either he must abandon
the punitive expedition or move
his base of supplies further
south. This is impossible with
out more troops to assist him.
AS it now stands, nearly all our
available fighting force is either
in Mexico or on the border.
One troop at Fort Apache has
been ordered to the border and
will pass through Snowflake
tomorrow enroute to Columbus,
New Mexico.
Immediately after President
Wilson delivered his address on
the German situation, Congress
passed the Army bill increasing
the standing army to $50, 900,
with 750,0 GOO reserve.
