BANDITRY IN
MEXICO TARGET
OF HOME GUARD

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. Feb, a.
Doom of villa and other notorious
Mexican bandits appears to have
been, sealed by the formation OF the
Defensa Social. The Defensa Social
is similar to the famous vigilantos
OF California who restored that state
to comparative peace after wild
orgy of banditry and crime follow.
ing the rush for gold.
Organization OF the Defensa Social
marks one of the significant extern.
sions of civil government. Indeed,
II is perhaps one of the most impor
tant manifestations of the average
Mexicnn's sincere desire for the re.
turn of peace after the excesses that
were a natural by.product of revo
luton.
The Defensa Social is practically
home guard. Carranza has en-.
couraged the arming OF the individual
ranch owner and peon In order that
these people could suppress effec-
lively purely local activities OF the
bandits who thinly masked their
thieving propensities with the title
of revolutonists. This home guard
is proving n bulwark Of civil gov
eminent in many dintricts and has
been able in many communities to
suppress bandit gangs.
