Blount, Collins, .Strlbling,Member of Naval -Advisory Board De­

clares Our Army Would Be about One Day’s Killing.0F0.S. El Paso, Tex.—Soldiers, policemen

and many citizens, angered by the massacre of a score oi American min­ing men in Mexico, on the night of Jan. 13 began a round-up of Mexicans in El Paso, with the intention of driv­ing all adherents of Francisco Villa from the city. Many fights took place and all the ambulances and doctors available were kept busy.

More than a score of former Villa officers were arrested on charges of vagrancy and forced to take a train for California. In this consignment were Miguel Diaz Lombardo, once for­eign minister in Villa’s cabinet, and Gens. Manuel Banda and Juan Prieto.

United States soldiers to the num­ber of 60, aided by city policemen, started through the streets announcing that they were looking for Mexicans. News of the round-up spread and most of the Mexicans in the path of the Americans took to their heels. One street was soon cleared of undesirable Mexicans.

Many Mexicans, however, resisted expulsion and knives were flashed free­ly. Calls for ambulances and surgeons kept the police stations busy. Many of the fights were between American soldiers and Mexicans who refused to be rushed, according to police reports.

Later in the night matters grew more serious and martial law was de­clared. Four companies of the 16th infantry were ordered to take charge in the downtown district after it was apparent the police were powerless to check the crowd. Lines of troops four abreast swung through the streets and established sentries on the corners and in the middle of the squares.

The crowds thinned out when or­ders were issued that no one appear on the streets without a permit signed by the provost marshal, but the search by (American soldiers of the Mexican quaurter for armed Mexicans con­tinued.

While the disorders were proceeding reports reached the police that Amer­ican cattle raisers and miners were holding a secret meeting to organize an armed band to invade- Mexico. It was said their object was to seek revenge for the murder of the American min­ers slain by order, it is said, of a Villa chieftain in pursuance of a threat made by Villa when Gen. Carranza’s govern­ment was recognized by the United States that he would avenge himself on Americans.

Fifty thousand cards for distribution throughout the United 8tates were or­dered printed hearing the phrases:

“Remember the Alamo.**Did we watch and wait?” Remember the Cusi.”Shall we watch and wait?”

Police at all hotels are searching out Mexicans and advising their departure.

New Haven, Conn.—Danger of for­eign aggression will confront the Unit­ed States after the European war is over, no matter which sides wins, Hud­son Maxim, member of the naval ad­visory board, declared in an adress be­fore the chamber of commerce here. He made an appeal for a larger army and navy, declaring that any of the great foreign nations now at war would “have available several million war- tried veterans’ for a trial at arms with us.

“When the great war Is over, which­ever side wins, there will be sure to arise between the winners and our­selves serious complications to be ad­justed,” said Mr. Maxim. “Either Ger­many or England would have a navy far superior to our own, and, conse­quently, could not successfully he op­posed by our navy Our enemy would be able to land upon our shores at leaTst a quarter of a million men inside of a month, and after that continually bring Ip re-enforcements at the rate of 250,- 000 a month, if they should happen to be required. Our little, poorly equip­ped army would not be able to offer resistance enough to make a ripple In the line of the enemy’s advance. Our army would be just about one good day’s killing.”

If the enemy landed at either New York or Boston, the speaker said, they would be able in two weeks to capture the area in which great arsenals, navy yards and munitions factories of the country are situated. Continuing, he said:

“There are two ways that are pro­posed for our salvation. The way that our army and navy men propose and the way that every American who has made a scientific study of the subject of naval defense proposes, is adequate­ly to prepare ourselves with a navy big enough to successfully stand out against any other navy in the world and an army big enough and provided with guns and ammunition enough to

—Jackson.Economy will be the watchword of

the present session of the state legis­lature, This has been developed in the early sessions of the two houses. While the entire body probably feels that a wanton waste of the state reve­nues and finances will not be counte­nanced by their constituents back home, there is a minority element pres­ent known as the “low pressure crowd” that will fight for the very strictest kind of economy. '

The initial appearance of this ele­ment was made when a joint resolu­tion was Introduced in the house by Mr. McIntyre of Rankin county. The resolution would prevent the state from making bonds to pay current ex­penses. It was adopted in the lower body and referred to the senate.

Previously the ultra-economical had attempted to defeat the passage of a resolution in the house to buy a new carpet for representative hall. Again they tried to defeat the passage of a measure making an Appropriation of $650 from the contingent fund to assist in paying the inauguration expenses.

The oldtime crowd of lobbyists and hangers-on who for the past years have been seen on the floor of the house will have to move to the gallery if the reso­lution introduced by Mr. Barrett pass­es. Mr. Barrett’s resolution would en­force the house rules strictly and for­bid anyone except members, employes and reporters on the floor. The bill will probably be favorably reported dh the rules committee.

Among the flood of new bill# that have poured Into the house is one that attacks the state-wide prohibition bill. Mr. Barrett from Warren county has introduced a bill authorizing the manu­facture and sale of beer and wine in the*8tate. Other alcoholic drinks are still barred, however. The bill was re­ferred to the committee.Senate Committees.

tWashington.—Gen. Carranza’and the

de facto government of Mexico are to be given full opportunity without inter­vention from the United States to Tun to earth the murderers of American citizens of Santa Ysabel and to demon­strate ability to restore order and pro­tect foreign rights in the southern re­public. This was the outstanding fact here after a meeting of the cabinet, a conference between President Wilson and Chairman Stone of the Senate for­eign relations committee and another, day of stirring debate In the Senate.

Th« president, supported by his cab­inet and the Democratic leaders In Con­gress, is declared to be determined that the American government shall not be stampeded by war talk and cries of vengeance fnto rushing an army across the Rio Grande to destroy in its infancy the de facto government which the United States, with the co­operation of Pan-American nations, aided in establishing after the- Mexi­can nation had been torn by revolu­tion for years.

In the senate administration leaders firmly outlined the position of the gov­ernment in the face of denunciation from the Republican side and another resolution directing intervention pro­posed by Senator Works of California. At the State Department officials were vigilant in their watch over the situation, awaiting official word from Gen. Carranza in reply to the demand made upon him to seek out and punish the bandit murderers.

While no direct communication from Gen. Carranza has reached the State Detriment, a message from him to Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambas- sador designate, announced the dis­patch of troops to capture the outlaws and his purpose to visit “condign pun­ishment upon every participant in the massacre.

Capt. von Papen’s check stubs, bank books and letters from his bank, the Riggs National Bank of Washington, D. C., show about 500 items, many of which had to do with routine expendit­ures. Others, however, revealed pay ments to various persons who have fig­ured prominently in the activities of German agents in America.

Several large payments were made to Capt. von Papen by Count von Bern- storff. Most of these were for salaries or bonuses. A- number of entries showed payments made by the ambas­sador to the military attache for “war intelligence office." One of the pay ments on this account, made in Octo­ber of 1914, was iot $2,300.
