HOME, GUMR.Om

Following the border raid by Francisco Villa and 300 of the Mexican outlaws, on Columbus. N. M.. in which eight American. soldiers and nine civilians were murdered, the civilians of the town, for the most part ranchers and railroad men, organized themselves into a "home guard." fearing a repetition of the raid. While the U. S. soldiers are searching for Villa and his band in Mexico, these men are standing guard over their homes.

TWO COLUMNS OF U. S. TROOPS ARE JOINED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) known, but Mexican scouts brought word that he was still in tho neighborhood of Casas Grandes. As the American and Carranzista forces approached Ca.sas Grandes the Mexican situation approached a grave crisis. When the Juarez soldiers reach Casas Grandes there will be approximately 1,500 Carranzistaa and TOO Villa lighters in tho neighborhood. The first American troops to reach Casas Grances would number les.- than 1,0 00 men, according to the theory of military experts. With this number of trained men within range of each other, each body anxious to fight, it seemed certain that the future trend of affairs in Mexico might be determined quickly. There is a feeling of unrest growing more ominous every hour all through Mexico. Gen. Carranzista's declaration that his men would cooperate with the Americans, cannot force the Mexican to. love the American "the gringo," ho dies cursing. 1-Var Mexican l)istru-.t. American refugees coming across tho border tell of one of the Mexican hcliefs which is typical of the countryy. It is reported that the score of Mexican prisoners recently burned to death In the El Paso jail were deliberately cremated by tho American authorities to avense the Villa massacre at Santa Ysabel. Veterans of the frontier foresee further difficulty in tho anticipated plan of the Americans to establish a iupply ba.se on the Mexico Northwestern road. This will mean that supplies and ammunition will be shipped through Juarez. The sight cf the ammunition being forwarded through to a Mexican city to help Americans kill Mexicans, say the veterans, will be the last touch needed to turn large numbers of Carranzistas against the soldiers of the United States. The situation is to Villa's liking. He has sent his scouts riding throughout Mexico shouting the Villa battle cry: "Ccme with me. Xo more bullets for my countrymen. They are for the Gringoes." Seek to Unrage Peons. Nightly come reports to Fabens, known to the Texas rangers as one of the "toughest" smugglers' joints on the border, that Villa, agents across the Rio Grande hold nightly mass meetings to whip the peons to a fighting fury. Troops of tho eighth cavalry it is said, have been posted at Fabens to prevent a repetition of the Columbus massacre. Gen. Gaviera, commander at Juaroz, announce,! that the Mexican government Is going to make an experiment of its own with censorship. He stated at his headquarters that hereafter there will be no publication of the movements of his troops. It was known, however, that Mexican soldiers departed late yesterday toward Casas Grandes. Gen. Bertani, who was in command at Las Palomas, is said to have been at the head of the Carranzistas It was rumored that Gaiera himself would go to the Casas Grandes district within a few hours, to take command of the situation there.

7. X, f-'' r' l Ii im LIBERALS OBJECT CONCESSIONS TO U. S. Party Adopts Resolutions Ic-nia riding German Chancellor Cease Limiting U-Boats Activity. International News rrervle: BERLIN, March 18. Members of the liberal party in the reichstag met today and adopted relution3 which are in effect a protes-t against further concessions to tho Unite! States on tho matter of submarine warfare. The resolutions request the imperial chancellor to make no agreement with other powers which might hamper the unlimited use of U boata as a weapon and urge the employment of submarines not only in the war zone, but in warfare against commercial vessels except such a,s are devoted solely to passenger traffic. The conservative and center parties took similar action at meetings that preceded tho reichstag session and a measure having the support of the three parties was introduced as soon as the reichstag met. The resignatoin of Admiral von Tirpitz is said to have precipitated this .action. It is believed the bill will be passed, though it will probably meet sharp opposition from tho government. The text of the bill follows: "Whereas, England makes war not only against armed froces of Germany, but has taken measures to impede the provisioning of Germany with victuals and raw materials in order to starve tho nation Into submission, for which purpose England brutally violates international law and uses force against neutral countries, "Whereas, further, Germany is able by unlimited submarine warfare to incrtiase England's lack of tonnage that sufficient provisioning of the British nation with victuals and raw materials can be rendered j extraordinarily dimcult and perhaps ; imnossible "Whereas, such warfare would bring nearer a victorious end of the war, the imperial chancellor is required not to enter into agreements with other countries which would hinder us in the unlimited use of our submarne weapon and prevent our making use of submarines against enemy traders with the exception of passenger bhips." Americans are the greatest meat eaters, the per capita consumption being 172 pounds a year in this country, 119 in England. 113 in Germany, SO in France and Holland, 6 4 in Austria-Hungary, 50 in Russia and in Sr ain 49.

.v APPENDICES GIVEN OUT AT WASHINGTON Berlin Relates 19 Instances Where Suhs Were Fired on by Merchant Ship. WASHINGTON. March 1?. The text and appendices of the German memorandum by which neutral nations were notified that armed merchant ships of the nations at war with Germany will be treated as war essels were made public by tho department of state Friday. Except for slight variations in translation th texts are identical with the versions given out in Berlin and sent to the United Staves in press dispatches. ' Among the appendices is a list, of 19 instances where it is claimed merchant ships have I!red upon submarines. In some of the cases it is declared the attacks were made 'ithout provocation, while in other ships fired after being warned In an attempt to escape. Other documents purported to be copies of instructions to British sea captains for guidance in the use and maintenance of armament, found on a captured British ship. American readers of British newspapers lind some queer things in the advertising columns. "Wanted, strong, tidy general, well recommended," for instance, does not indicate a paucity of competent leaders in the British army. "General" as thus used is merely an abbreviated expression for "general servant" or "houseworker." 'ead NEWS-TIMES Want Ads Financial ishawaka avin
