England to Demand America
Collect or Give Her Over
$1O0,000,000.

Great Britain will shortly demand
that the United States collect more
than one hundred million dollars in
damages from Mexico or pay that
sum herself. Her intention to make
this issue is known both to the State
Department and to certain members
of Congress.
OIL AND MURDER IS BASIS.
The British claims are based upon
damages to and deterioration OF oil
and other properties in Mexico. as
well as upon the murder OF William
Benton and various other British sub
jects during the past eight years
They will be followed by similar
claims from France. based in large
part upon the spoliation of certain
French banks in Mexico City and
their branchs in other cities through
out Mexico.
In this connection, IT is alleged that
the Carranza government seized many
millions in gold from those banks and
placed IL in the Mexican treasury for
the avowed purpose of basing an
issue OF currency upon Il. Much OF
this gold was afterwsrd looted from
the treasury. One prominent Mexican
official alone is said to have brought
no less than s1,OOO,OOO or IL to the
United States.
HOLD WILSON TO BLAME.
The liability of the United States Is
based by Great Britain upon the al
legged fact that at the time BENTON
was shot to death by villa she was
about to protect the lives and prop
erty of her own nationals. when
President wilson intervened and de-
msnded what to all intents and pur-
poses was q mandate over Mexico.
on that occasion Great Britain went
so far as to send her own diplomatic
agents to the border to Investigate,
but was persuaded to withdraw them
BY the promise that the United States
would be responsible for the sitsa-
tion.
