Americans familiar with Mexican
conditions differ as to the attitude of
Villa. Some believe he will wreck
vengeance on eevry American he en-

ambitious to make success of his
revolution and does not want to bring
down upon his head the hatred of the
Americans and the possibilities of an
other punitive expedition.

This is one of the changes in the

The reason for this doubling of the

FEAR VILLA MAY
TRY TO RETALIATE
Uneasiness Felt for the. Safety of
Americans Along Border.

Ell Paso, Texas, June 17.-Uneasi-
ness for the safety of American citi-
zens in Northern Mexico was felt here
tonight: Because of the expedition by
United States troops into Mexico Sun
day night to dispense Villas forces
attacking Juarez, it is feared Villa
and his men will attempt reprisals on
American persons and property in the
north Of Mexico.
Mormon ozcials here and in Juarez
were much concerned over reports
that Villa was heading toward Casas
Grandes, Chihuahua. This is near the
Mormon colony of Colonia Dublan,
where many Mormon families live.
Several American mining companies
have ordered their American employees
to leave for the border as soon as
possible. Other companies have or
dered their men to concentrate in the
larger towns until Villas attitude to-
wards Americans is definitely known.
Two thousand Yaqui Indians have
been sent to Parral to reinforce that
town and after this information was
received here several large mining
companies decided to haev their men
remain in Parral for the present.
Reports brought from Juarez that
the feeling among the Mexicans was
bitter toward the Americans were de-
MED by American Consul Edward A.
Dow, who said he had been courteous
~ treated.

Rising City Budgets.

The increase Of about 80 per cent IN
the municipal budget Of Chicago for the
coming year is due mainly to the higher
salaries and wages paid to municipal
employees. AT almost the last moment
$4,000, 900 was added on account of wage.
increases forced by fremen and police
men, who had threatened to strike un,
less their demands were complied with
Chicago's new budget of $4,000 900
however. is still far below the totai
budget of New York City for the wear
1919, which amounts to $23s, l23, 1859. II,
Illustrative of how fast municipal budgets
have grown Is the fact that Just 20 years
ago New York's budget totaled only
500, 2oe,a59. The total appropriation
by the United States government in 1911
were 1868, 1854; that is to say, New
York City's budget this year is over
one'third of the federal governments to,
tai appropriations only eight years ago

military movements which were likely to
cost lives and money combined. Now
the testimony of William b. Mitchell,
formerly manager of the Bank Of Lon.
don in Mexico City, before the House in.
vestigating committee in Washington
elinches the accuracy of the various re,
ports which have been coming up to us
from the benighted land Of Mexico.
This confederation of the rtlmors con
corning Mexicos belligerency and her
contempt for the United States will not
stir the American people and their gov
eminent nnduly. There will be no over
towering desire to send an army into
Mexico at the first provocation and to
thrash Mexico within an inch of her gov
ernmental existence. But there will be
disposition ON the part Of the United
States and of the American people to
stand no further insults from Mexico or
Mexican people without immediate de.
mand for apology, restitution and prom
Use that the ACTION, or any action in VIC
lation Of international usages, will not
be repeated. The breaking of that prom
Use would be the signal for prompt ac-
ton either by the United States singly
or by concerted action Of the nations of
the world if the league Of nations cove
nant should happen to be in force In
the meantime the people Of the United
States will find entertainment over
knowledge of the opinion formerly held
by Mexicans toward them and their ma
ton.

BLAMING THE PEOPLE FOR COAL
SHORTAGE.

1t is fatuous to charge the American
people, the coal.consuming people, with
responsibility for the threatened short
age of coal, yet that is what George
Gushing, managing director of the Amer
lean Coal Wholesale association is do
ing. He blames the American people for
the threatened shortage Of coal because
the American people will not buy coal at
the present time, his line of argument
being that because the American people
will not buy at this time the coal opera
tors refuse to mine reserve supply Of
coal, being content to let the present
slender reserve remain These coal OPP
orators know, of course, that the Amer.
lean public is going to demand certain
amount of coal as q minimum for the
needs Of the year; they know that such
an amount is absolutely needed to carry
on industry and to heat buildings. But,
knowing those things, they refuse to
mine enough coal to meet that certain
demand, putting out the specious plea
that the public isn't buying the coal as
it should and that their reserve is piling
up; hence they will curtail mining opera
tions. 1t is high time that the federal
authorities were taking up this coal
proposition il they have any right to do
so; and if they haven't any right they
should take Immediate steps in Congress
to secure the power. The American PEG.
pie are being manipulated at the pleas
ure of the coal mine owners

Montpelier and Barre are the only H.

arrival of prohibition they feel that it
is like paying for dead horse to give

incidentally, Montpelier, as we under
stand it, has eliminated itself from the
class of those which have not paid.

THE MEXICAN IDEA OF AMERICANS

THE MEXICAN IDEA OF AMERICANS
Testimony by British banking man
who has been in Mexico City for some
time that the Mexican people have had a
feeling of contempt for Americans and
for the United States because of the be-
lief that the Americans would not fight
the Mexicans confirms the belief which
has been current for a considerable pc
riod in the United States There have
been previous reports that Mexicans
thought they could commit nearly any
sort of act against American people and
American property along the Rio Grande
border and do it with impunity; and, in
fact, there have been rumors that Ger.
tain bellieose Mexicans were even con.
sidering an invasion of the United States
and direct march on Washington, so
convinced were they that the United
States was a great big, supne nation,
somewhat similar to China. And it was
not only the common people of Mexico
who seemed to have this impression of
our spinelessness; the officials of what
ever government happened to be in pow
er apparently carried less exaggerated
notion of the Discrimination of the United
States to 60 to war or to engage in any

the notion that Vermont has gone mad

roads. Ten million dollars would go a
long way toward rebuilding all the main

Despite the fsilings of the man, Pre-.
mier Clemenceau stands out distinctly
as one of the great figures of the war
and when he wins such decisive victory
in his home country as he did in the
French Chamber of Deputies when vote
Of confidence was given his cabinet there
is a general desire to cheer the old hero
and to give him mental slap on the
back. Clemenceau steered France through
some of her most perilous years and he
imbued the allies of France with courage
by the virility of his thought and the
sturdiness of his actions 1t would have
been base ingratitude for France at this
time when danger of war is over to have
kicked him out the back door, so to
speak But France was not ready to be
so unappreciatiye as that, and the old
Trojan comes out of the maelstrom Of
politics as triumphant as victor in war.

The peace conference at Paris and its
attendant conferences made an excellent
school for diplomacy, that is, for study
ing the different styles of diplomacy in
troduced by the various nations of the
allied side in the war, while the assembly
at Versailles gave some knowledge Of
the manner of procedure carried out by
Germany in her international relations.
There is yet much of this school to be
held, the treaty with Austria not having
been signed and the treaties with Turkey
and Bulgaria not having been framed in
their entirety. Therefore, it is likely to
be a valuable training for Americans
who are building their way up the diplo-
matte ladder after having been more or
less restricted heretofore. James X.

 From the depths of the hooded sleigh he bundled diminutive figure, swaddled in furs and laprobes, with two big, sparkling round eyes beaming on them and red lips curved up into ar adorable smile.
 Angelique was four-year-old baby girl whom he had adopted from war devastated village near the front!
 Her people were all killed by the Germans" Henry. explained apologet- ically, "so thought I'd bring her along instead of letting her be sent to some orphanage."
 Ma Barker gave a choking sort of cry and caught the baby girl for which she had prayed so long to her relieved breast As for old John, he swallowed hard, winked broadly at the grinning | Jed beside the horse, and said:
 We've got some hard cider in the house, Jed. Better come in with me and have a nip before you put the horses up. Gosh, but come to think of it. Santa Claus presents always are supposed to be surprises anyway, ! rent they, Jed"

ing else. She knew of old exactly all the good things that her boy liked for the Christmas dinner-juicy black fruit cake, steaming plum pudding, odoriferous brown-roasted turkey, and but oh ! she didn't know what to pre- pare for her-coudn't get any frog legs if she had wanted to. And the geography said that frog legs were a favorite French dainty.
 Oh, whatever would the minister | say? yes, and Sally Howarth, too, when they heard about-about "Angelique!" Sally had been sweet" on Henry, and poor old Ma Barker had | hoped
 But, ah well! She mustn't let her dear boy know! He and his Angelique would be there tomorrow.
 Christmas eve the old folks deco rated the house with fir boughs, holly and strings of colored popcorn. They even trimmed tree as they had done for Henry ever since he had been | little boy. Ma Barker thought, with a rising lump in her throat, that may be the French girl would look on 1t all as silly; would curl her lip at their homely endeavors, but ..
 Christmas morning Jed, the hired man, drove off in the sleigh to meet their boy and his bride at the station in town. The OdOr of savOry good things on the kitchen stove permeated | hoJ Co fho fire in the dining room cracked in comfortable contrast to the sparkling cold of the snow outside Ma Barker hustled about, sadly setting the table with her best dishes. She caught old John stealthily coming up the base ment stairs with dusty demijohn.
 "Why, Pa Barker" she exclaimed. Whats that you've got there? I do believe it's that cider that fermented so as we couldn't use it!"
 "Yes, 'tis," admitted old John pretty shamefacedly and shuffling his feet to hide his embarrassment. But you see, I I thought that maybe as Henry's girl Is a French woman, she'd rather like hard cider, seeing as we haven't any light wines nor champagne for her to drink"
 A few minutes later they heard the sleighbells jinging, the snort of the horses and the crunch of runners on the snow in front of the house. h. stantly the old folks forgot the dread that had been overshadowing them since the letter came. Ma Barker, with trembling fingers undid her apron, smoothed her hair "so that Henry's girl would see her looking right" and rushed out of doors. Old John followed more decorously and stiffly, for his rheumatism had been troubling him more than ever lately, making work harder for him about the farm. Yes, he certainly WIS going to miss Henry's help when
 My boy! my boy!" cried ma as she threw herself into the extended arms of the sturdy young soldier in khaki as he leaped out of the sleigh behind the broadly-grinning Jed. They clung ecstatically together for a few minutes until old John forced them apart to pump his sons hand up and down and humble something about the bright sun on the snow mak- ing his eyes water.
