CHIHUAHUA CITY IS
MENACED BY VILLA
Americans Fear Garrison
There, as at Parral, Will
Join Bandits Forces.

WARRINGTON, May 5.-The situation
in Northern Mexico again Is reflected as
serious in advices received here to-day
,, from Mexico city and the border. The
state Department has been advised that
5000 employees of an American mining
company at Santa Eulalia have been re-
moved to Chihuahua City because Of
threats by Villa. the bandit leader.
In the capture of Parral the CarrarGa
garrison went over to the Villa forces
which now threaten Chihuahua City
Americans in the state capital are re-
ported to be endeavoring to obtain pas
sage TO FL Paso, as they believe the
garrison will join the Villistas In the
event an attack Is made on the city.
Torreon is said to be Villas next OBJ
jective and It is the belief here the
capture OF the city would clear his road
to the south. Reports from the border
say the Conchos Bridge at Ortiz. south
OF Chihuahua City. had been destroyed
by the rebels. thus closing the road for
reinforcements moving northward.
Gen. Manuel NJ. Dieguez has been or
dered from the Tampico oil fields with
1000 men to assist Gen. Castro. who was
reported as moving toward Chihuahua,
constantly harassed by yillistas DIE
guez's departure from the oil fields at
Tampico was said to leave the situation
there entirely at the disposal Of Pelaez.
a rebel leader.
Advices reaching Washington late to-
day said that portion OF the villa army
had taken Bustilfos, town on the
Northwestern Railroad about nifty miles
west of Chihuahua. These adv!ces, it
was said, would indicate that the forces
OF Villa had divided, as recent des-
Patches have said that large villa
army still was in the vicinity of Parral.
Capture of Bustillos is regarded as Sc
riously menacing Chihuahua.
II IS reported that villistas captured
Jimenez three weeks ago and that later
the Federal troops recaptured the city.
While this is doubted. IL is admitted that
the situation regarding Jimenez Is con-
fused. The capture OF Parral put the
villistas in an excellent strategical POSI-
ton, according to advices from the Dor
der as the town Is on branch line
from the main line south from Ell Paso
and is within striking distance of Jime-
neg.
Villa has demanded an indemnity OF
100000 from the Torreon region in
dustries. The superintendent OF the
Santa Eulalia mines reported that the
bandit demanded taxes for protection
and had announced that he would return
in thirty days for the money. The
superintendent said that Carranza could
no longer offer protection and that to
avoid paying the taxes he had closed
the mines. taking everything that could
be moved and all the men to Chihuahua

without Consent OF Governed.
But certainly this is no reason why
those who have proclaimed throughout
the world through all the avenues of
paid and Government controlled pub
licity their love of liberty and self
determination OF peoples should give the
sanction of their agreement and estab-
lish In international compact the very
conQuests which they pretend to oppose.
TN other words, IL we are to aban-
don our traditional policy of minding
our own business and living in friendly
intercourse and amity with all where no
great emergency endangers our vital In
terests. II would certainly seem we
should at least not become associates
and partners in the partitioning without
their consent and against their protests
OF the lands and possessions Of other and
friendly people.
THE League OF Nations is not worth
such price. It becomes in it's very In
ception what II Is bound to be through
out Its existence--an instrument of op-
| preston.
II do not mean by this in any way to
discuss the merits of the claims either
of Japan or China. I simply point out
the disastrous consequences of under
taking to put into the hands of irrespon-
siblo delegates claiming without much
foundation to represent the sentiments
Of the United States the power to direct
the affairs of the world and the abuses
which are bound to be made of any such
despotic authority. Whatever may be
the merits of the Japanese Chinese con-
troversy we should never give our sane
ton as a people TO the wholly unauthnr-
lied attempt on the part of our delegates
to establish through a league OF nations
tho permanent power of controlling the
affairs of the world in this way"

PARIS, May 5.-The mental process
by which President Wilson differentiated
the italian and Japanese questions re-
mains puzzle to nearly every one here
particularly as the two settlements pre-
scented a deadly parallel for the Wilson
principles as incorporated in the four
teen points, and as they have been ap-
piled here.
Japan, 1t Is now seen. gets even more
than Germany had. because. as the
Chinese point out, she gets the Using
tau settlement rights in perpetuity, in
stead OF under a long term lease like
Germany's. This, with railroad control,
gives Japan a new Far Eastern Gibral-
tar, a future strategic commercial
stronghold in China in fee simple.
Japan. as many view It here, with
no damage incurred by war. comes out
with more than any other nation save
Great Britain. who gets virtually all Of
the German colonies under a league
mandate, and who is generally regarded
here as the greatest gamer from the
war.
One of the Chinese delegates here told
THE SUN to-day that Americas pres
tige In China was bound to suffer ire
trievably as a result OF tho decision,
which he characterized as the most de-
plorable Of all the evil consequences
that would flow from the ruling.
There Is great surprise hero because
OF the Presidents personal silence on
the Chinese Japanese question. particu-
larry because his silence contrasts with
his Italian explanation. But in the lat
ter case tbs President wanted to appeal
to the Italian people over the heads of
their Government. this procedure being
Impossible in China's case.
PARIa, May 5.-The policy OF Japan is
to return the Shantung peninsula in full
sovereignty to China, retaining only the
economic privileges granted Germany
and the right to establish a settlement
under the usual conditions at Using tao.
said statement issued to-day by Baron
Maxine, head the japanese delegation at
the Peace Conference. In explanation of
Japans position on the Shantung Ques-
ton.
Regarding the railway, which is to
become Chino-Japanese joint under
taking, Baron Maxine said the owners
would use special police only to insure
the security of traffic. and for no other
purpose. The force would be composed
of Chinese. Such japanese instructors
as the railway directors should select
would be appointed by the Chinese Gov
eminent.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Senator POM

statement tonight:
THE reported concessions by tho
Peace Conference to Japan Of posses
sions and rights in China is a very good
Illustration OF both the futility and
hypocrisy of the League of Nations One
OF the principal objects which have been
exploited by the advocates OF the league

political independence of Its members.

I'm tho very act OF establishing the
covenant of the world with It's power

ternational relations, their trade. they
commit-and that in aggravated form
the worst possible offence which they
pretend the league Is created to prevent.
"It may be said that Japan would take
the Shantung peninsula and the various
rights and privileges which are granted
her in China anyhow. But this Is be-
side the question. The fact, II It be a
fact, that Japan can take by force such
rights in China as she claims certainly
affords no reason why these claims, II

and established in international law and

The league at least might withhold its
consent.
Little Reason for Existence.
Certainly IL II is necessary to eur

Japan and other nations It would seem
that little reason for it's existence re-
mains. On the contrary the supreme
sacrifices referred TO by Mr.. Wilson are
made, but no corresponding benefits or
alleged benefits received in return.
Not only are these benefits not re-
ceived but they are deliberately de-
