OUR DEAD IN MEXICO.

! According to the National Association for the
Protection of American Rights in Mexico, five
hundred and fifty-one Americans have been
killed in that country since November, 1910.
This is over sixty year or more than one each
week and of this murdered total four hundred
and twenty ght were civilians and one hun
Idred and twenty three were soldiers sailors.
During the Madero and Huerta regime one hun
Edred and sixty-seven Americans were slain.
Since Carranza came into power three hundred
and eighty three have lost their lives. Car
rama officials, officers, soldiers and followers
are credited with killing seventy-four OF our
citizens. Villa is charged with responsibility
for the deaths of eightyone; while bandits, out
laws, marauders and miscellaneous list OF
Irevolutionaries, rebels, smuggerss cattle thieves
Imiscreants and bad men generally have killed
the rest
Apropos of this, it might be added that Jen-
tkins, our consular agent at Puebla, whom Car
ranga had in Jail on the charge of abducting
himself and holding himself for ransom, faced
Ia firing squad of Carranza soldiers In 1913, but
was rescued by General Obregon. That leader
is now an asprant for the presidency. He and
Carranza are the reverse Of chummy, and it
seems not impossible that some friendship real
or supposed between Oregon and jenkins ex-
plains Carranza s singular course
1t is plain to most Americans that the present
execrable state Of affairs below the Rio Grande
has become intolerable. Something must be
done and the senate and Secretary Lansing
working in harmony endeavored to do some
thing. Instead of welcoming their aid the
president though on his sick bed, resented their
attempt as an infringement Of his prerogatives.
He would do himself, he said, everything that
was proper to be done; and there the matter
stands and may, for all that anybody knows,
until the end of his term. Our relations with
Mexico during the last six years have been
about as unfortunate as they could be. The
presidents implacable aversion to Huerta and
his subsequent unaccountable willingness to-
give Carranza free hand in any villany he can
invent have produced a situation for which
there seems to be no alternative but interven-
ton or the admission that our citizens have no I
rights in Mexico their government will enforce.
The open season for shooting Americans has
lasted over six years now and may last until
there is change of administration at Wash !
lngtOn.
