Protect Railways Alone.

Carranza's armies can only protect
property along the rail lines. The
soldiers Of the government are OF hut
little use elsewhere. inasmuch as they
are conscripts and refuse to go to the
interior to cast their weight against
the rebel leaders. As a matter Of
fact, according to reliable reports
which have been received from Mex
leo, the Carranza soldiers would much
prefer to remain along railway lines,
where the means Of flight from an
enemy are much easier.
The whole military strength Of Car
rama is not now sufficient to control
Mexico, according to ofi1cials in
Washington. Neither liz there pros
pect Of increasing power. To show
rebels and bandits and to show the
strength Of the various combatant
groups which are making Mexico an
unsafe place for the representatives
OF law and order, q list has been
compiled giving the names of the va
strength and scenes of operation.
The Viliistas operating in Chihua-
hua and part Of Coahufla number
about 4,110 men, according to fairly
reliable reckoning, while they have
augmented strength In about 1000
men directly under the control of Gen.
Angeles.
Felix Diaz, who controls parts OF
Vera Cruz and Puebla, has force Of
800 men, and though this army has
been comparatively inactive, It, new
ertheless, is a constant menace and
destroys the Carranza governments
power in the regions in which Diax is
operating.
Gen. Meixueiro. with n. Aguilar's
army OF 1000. controls the. larger por-
ton Of the state of Oaxaca and has in
all about $500 men.
The Zapatistas, who control q large
section Of Morelos, have 1880 men.

By OLIVER OWEN KUHN.


Frustrated in its attempt to seize
without adequate payment the prop
erty Of the Richardson Construction
Company through the workings Of
the obnoxious agrarian laws Of So
nora, the Mexican government has
sought to cancel the Yaqui river wa
ter rights which the company legally
obtained and which are essential to
the prosperity Of the enterprise
In answer to the appeals of the
Richardson concern, which Is an
American company, the State Depart
ment has made emphatic protests to
the Carranza government in Mexico
City. The protest over the water can
collation. is firm, as once before the
department was forced to act to pro-
tect the company from confiscatory
laws which the Carranza regime
seems bent upon enforcing wherever
possible, in furtherance of an appar-
emit policy to nag and aggravate
American investors and business men
in Mexico

strike.
Advices received by the union show
that on the southeastern lines $4,000
men are out, Mr.. Saunders said. These
reports also show that at Chicago all
men of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul and of the Chicago, Burling-

Trying to Keep Lid Onp

According to rumor in official and
diplomatic circles President Wilson
was fully apprised of the seriousness
Of the Mexican situation by Under
Polk. Mr.. Polk, 1t is said,
sending increasingly severe protests
to the Carranza regime, found that
the time soon would arrive when
nothing but an ultimatum could sat
isfy the dignity Of this country. Pres
ident Wilson in Paris, so the rumor
goes, being thoroughly opposed to
any serious breach with Mexico be-
fore the peace teraty was out of the
way, and being DESTROYS of settling
many OF the greater and pressing is
sues confronting the people of the
United States, took the stand that
Mexico should not be allowed to in
terfere at the moment and asked that
Mr.. Polk go to Paris to relieve Sec
rotary Lansing, who would return to
Washington not only to help 1.-The
President in the negotiations over the
ratification Of the peace treaty. but
to keep the lid on Mexico until an
suspicious moment for the announce
ment Of. the American governments
policy arrived
It Is known also that increasingly
numerous and insistent appeals are
reaching the White House and State
Department for not only prompt, but
forceful action.

More Than ESQ, 600 Men :
Idle Among Shop Forces
of Country's Railroads

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 2.-More than
$4,000 railway shopmen of the coun-
try are idle tonight, as result OF
the strike called yesterday by the
Federated Railway Shopmen's Union,
according to statements of leaders
of that organization tonight after re-
ceiving reports from all sections. The
officials said the strike Is spreading,
with no indication of immediate settle
ment.
John D. Saunders. secretary. de-
clared the men will remain on strike
until their demands for IS cents an
hour for machinists and SO cents Tor
helpers are granted. He said that, re-
CARELESS Of what the international
officers of the various unions may be
doing at Washington, the rank and
file Of the men have determined not
to recede- from their demands, with
back pay to January l.
Mr.. Saunders said no men will be re-
moved from the wrecking crews and
that no violence will be tolerated.

Has Complied With Laws.

In connection with the protest the
State Department has informed the
Carranza regime that the Richardson
company has complied with Mexican
laws in every particular; that it OBJ
tanned its Yaqui water rights through
license duly executed by the Mexican
government, and that the company had
been scrupulous in fulfilling every obfi-
cation.
As in the case of many other pro-
tests, 1t Is expected that the Mexican
government will send assurances that
the Richardson company will be pro-
tected. but government officials here
realize that Carranza's promises are
more than ever becoming farcical. in
view Of his comparatively small con-
troll over Mexican territory.
In the files of government officials in
Washington are new maps Of Mexico
based upon accurate information OBJ
tanned by American agents in Mexico
These show that Carranza's control
rests chiefly along the railroad lines,
and that all other sections Of the coun-
try are infested with lawless elements
The maps present Carranza's territorial
limits along the railway lines, and the
remainder looks like one of grand
mothers old-fashioned crazy quilts, the
many colors representing areas con-
troiled by rebel and bandit leaders in-
terlocldng over the whole country.
