Washington. = The United States
warned Carranza that he must protect
all American citizens in northern Mex
leo, which is territory now dominated
by Villa and Angeles.
This action, following that taken by
our troops to dispense Villa rebels in
Juarez, shows that the administration
is fearful of retaliatory measures by
Villa-Angeles followers on American
mining and oil men, and other citizens
in chihuahua and Sonora
1t would not be surprising for Car
rama now to renew his request that
federal troops be permitted to cross
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico for
the purpose of beginning operations
ment's request TO Carranza to furnish
adequate protection for American
lives and property Gin the disturbed
area of that country can hardly be
complied with unless he is given CO.
operation in sending troops to the dis
turbed area.
An early decision by Congress look
ing to vigorous action by the United
States to definitely clear up the long
bemuddled conditions in Mexico was
strongly indicated by developments.
These developments were:
l. Introduction of a resolution in the
house providing for a sweeping inves-
tigation of American-MeXican relations
and all phases of the Mexican problem
since 1910
2. Introduction of another resolution
in the house commencing Secretary
Baker for dispatching soldiers across
the border to protect American citi-
zens and American property.
3. Receipt of kilograms by Senator
Fall and Representative Kahn from
Ell Paso commencing the American
commanders who directed the recent
dash across the border and urging
that American troops be sent into the
interior of Mexico and kept there until
the country is pacitied.

immediate steps by the United States
to safeguard for all time the lives and
property of American citizens from
the Mexican menace.
