BLAME MEXICAN
TROUBLE US,
CHANGED POLICY
Former Banker in Mexico
City Says Recalling
Yank Forces Made
Bad Feeling.

Washington, July 23.-William B.
Mitchell, former manager of the
Bank of London in Mexico City,
told the house rules committee to-
day that the sending of two Ameri-
can military expeditions into Mex
leo and their subsequent withdrawal
is largely responsible for the anti
American feeling in the southern
republic. The committee is consid-
ering a resolution authorizing inves-
tigation of the relations between the
two countries.
DO you think that the feeling
against Americans was strengthened
by the belief that America or its
people were afraid to assert their
rights?" asked a member of the
committee.
Twice Entered. Twice Withdrew.
Yes" said the witness. Twice
American expeditions entered the
country and then withdrew"
THE Mexicans then had contempt
for Americans?"
Yes"
Mr.. Mitchell said there was a
strong anti-American spirit in the
Carranza administration.
Americans are not being treated
with the same consideration as other
foreigners, the witness said, adding
that Henry P. Fletcher, the Ameri-
can ambassador, was openly insulted
on the streets of Mexico City while
enroute to attend the Inauguration
of President Carranza, while the
German ambassador was cheered.
$4,000 Bandits Operate.
Twenty-Five distinct bands Of
rebels with a strength of about 49,
900 men now are operating in
Mexico, according to a tabulation
which has just been published in
Mexico City. Opposing them Car
rama has force of about 10000
which, however, is able to control
little more than the railway lines
with a narrow strip along the
Pacific coast from Guayarnas to San
Bias and the territory around Tam
pico. :.
The report asserts there is GER
tain degree of cooperation between
the various rebel forces in the north.

Villa Disbands Forces.
Ell Paso, July 25.-Francisco Villa
and General Felipe Angeles have
disbanded their forces until Septem-
Der and announced to their troops
they would go to Japan in an effort
TO obtain ammunition for the Villa
revolutions, Americans who arrived
from Chihuahua City reported.
They said Villa issued an order
to his men telling them to return TO
their homes until fall. when ne
would call them together again.
This report was also given out
in Juarez by Gen. Ysidro Cordona.
who arrived on the same train. He
said this was announced in an Of
fetal military bulletin in Chihuahua
City by Gen. Manuel Dieguez.
The Americans were inclined TO
doubt the report that Villa and An
geles intended going to Japan, say
ing this was probably given out by
Villa to explain his reason for dis
banding his forces. They said Villa
would probably retire to the noun
tains until ready to resume the CAM
paign in the fall.
Villa partisans here denied the re
ports that Villa was disbanding his
men, and claimed rebels under Nico-
las Fernandez captured a wagon
train of ammunition from the Car
rama troops recently.

pied the time of the Membership

day. The luncheon was held at the

1t was reported that, owing to ir-
Irregularities connected with the cleo
ton to create special road and
bridge district, and to issue bonds
to build a road around Lake Holdings
worth and other roads, the act to
validate such election probably would
not be passed by the Legislature.
I This will it is feared, leave these
much desired improvements up in the
air, unless some other plan can be
!. put through to bring them about.

missioners to borrow 100000 to con-
struct certain county roads, includ-

THE TANGLED WEB
(By r. A. Ward.)

Wy ~ IA w diup
watched an artist in needle-work,
Who was tracing with diligent care,
A figure on fabric before him
A fabric that was costly and rare
] looked for a beautiful figure,
When all its space he should fiji
To complete wondrous picture,
/ The result Of such patience an1
skill.
But saw only tangled stitches,
without even the trace Of line:
II had neither form nor beauty,
With no apparent taste or design,
But when | turned the fabric over,
Its beauty and skill we're displayed
And could trace the artists ideal,
In the wondrous design he had
made.
And so, the Great Artist is weaving
A pattern OF beauteous design;
To us it may seem knotted and tan
gled,
With neither plan. nor trace OF q
line.
Where we looked for seasons OF
pleasure, ~
Cares and sorrows were sure to be-
tide,
! And we misjudged the skill OF the
Artist,
| BY looking at the opposite side.
i Not until our visions are clarified,
! And freed from the errors of time
VIII we view the wondrous beauty,
OF these figures Of infinite design.
! Then the opposite side will be hidden
And we shall be able to trace
The beauty and glory and grandeur,
OF these acts of His infinite grace
