TAFT'S LETTER
CAUSES D|SNAY
President Hopes Appeal to
Country Will Bring
Ratification.


president was not seeking TO make
any Eratuitous attack on Mr.. VIII
sons previous policies but really
10 help put the Republicans in n
better frame of mind by voting for
the treaty 80 that the Republican
party would be free "frOm the
burden of defeating the treaty"
and its issue removed from the
next political campaign.
The former presidents letters are,
however, evidence Of another thing
that Mr.. Wilson's efforts at personal
persuasion have not been very sue
cessfuL Practically a score of Repuo-
leans must be brought into agreement
with the IS Democrats who stand by
the president in order to get the
treaty ratified. Mr.. Taft sees the op-
position impenstrable.
Mr.. Wilson has still another card to
play. the American people. He thinks
senatorial sentiment will change after
the people have been given all the
facts.
If he does intend to compromise in
the end or II he is obliged 10 act, IL is
certainly not Wilsonian to do SO at a
when he thinks public opinion
is in his way. And that is what Mr.
Wilson has asserted, that an over
body of public opinion
wanted the league established first
and correction and revisions made af-
terwards.-Copyright. 1919. the FL

COURT To HEAR
BANDITS PLEAS
One Hundred Villistas
Awaits Trial in Court
at JuareZ.


Approximately 100 Viliista prisoners
Fill be tried during the coming six
months before judge Jesus II Cuen, of
the federal district court in Juarez. it
was announced Friday. Most Of the
prisoners are now in the Juarez Jail
Or in military hospitals in that city.
Additional prisoners viii be brought
70 Juarez within a few days, it was
announced.
Judge Cuen is now attempting to
sorroborate the testimony Of vnlista
prisoners that they were impressed
nto service by examining into the
family records of prisoners.
Many OF these prisoners are from
itates in the Interior and much time is
equired TO make full Investigations
The testimony Of wives, relatives or
friends are taken in an effort to sub
stantiate the claim of many villa pris-
oners that they were Impressed into
The service Of the bandit leader.
Testimony Of several witnesses
bears out the rumor that much OF
Villas army was recruited by means
Of a very crude system Of conscrip-
ton In fact. some prisoners claim
that the bandit leader came TO their
homes and kidnapped them during the
night time Several testified that they
were seized and hurried many miles
INTO the wide mountain ranges be-
fore the coming of day. The men
were then threatened with death in
case they attempted to escape, they
assert
Federal officials largely discredit
the testimony Of many Villista pris-
oners. II is believed that some really
were impressed into the service. but
that the majority Joined the standard
OF the insurrecto chieftain through a
desire for loot and banditry. All
prisoners viii be tried on the charge
Of banditry, it is announced.
