Villa, Angered at Protests in Be
half of Spaniards, Tears Up
Co'iM'i’s Messages.
EL FASO, TEXAS, Dec. U.—Al:
Vmerican residents of Chihuahua
;ave been ordered to leave that city
n five days, according; to reliable ad-
ioes received here to-day. This ac
tion is said to have been taken by
General Villa because citizens of the
United States protested when all
Spaniards and Germans were or
dered from Chihuahua.
Marlon Letcher. American Consul
at Chihuahua, is expected to arrive
here on a special train to-morrow to
file a message of protest to the State
Department at Washington.
Refugees who came here from Jua
rez to-day said that Letcher’s code
messages had been destroyed by Villa,
and that he had been prevented from
sending a courier to the border with
dispatches for the State Department.
Reports reached here to-day that
Vila has arrested a number of
wealthy German residents of Chihua
hua and is holding them fcr ransom.
Stories told by refugees who ar
rived here to-day show that Villa is
conducting a relentless warfare
against both old and young whom he
regards as foes. He ordered the exe
cution of a young Italian boy who
was arrested as he was fleeing from
Chihuahua, but the iad was saved by
i' onSul Camelin, who warned Villa
hat international complications
would follow the death of any for-,
eigners.
Chief of Police Davis to-day placed
extra policemen along South El Paso
street because of the riot which oc
curred here yesterday between the
hihu&hiia refugees and rebel sym-
ithizers. No crowds are allowed to
gather.
A special “refugee train.'' bearing a
umber, of fugitives, including mem
bers of the family of Marion Letcher,
nited States Consul at Chihuanua
ity, reached Juarez over the Na-
ional Railways line to-day. There
were a number of Germans, French
and Italians on the train.
Senor Luis Terrazas, the rich Mex
ican, who fled to Presidio when Gen
eral Villa captured Chihuahua City
and later came here, interviewed
members of the party in a vain at
tempt to learn the fate of his son.
Luis Terrazas, Jr., who was arrested
by Villa and held for ransom.
According to the fugitives, Villa
has adopted the slogan of “Mexico for
Mexicans,” and is making it so dan
gerous for foreigners around Chihua
hua City that practically all have
left. Villa is ruling with an iron
hand, and instead of referring cases
of extreme lawlessness and violence to
courts-martial, passes Judgment him
self. in nearly every case giving a
sentence of death.
Carranza Orders
Outrages to Stop.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IB.—Alarmed
by American protests against the out
rages of General Villa toward Span
iards at Chihuahua, General Venue-
tiano Carranza will start for Chihua
hua within a few days, personally to
direct he movements there. This re
port was made to the War Depart
ment to-day by Brigadier General
Bliss, in command of the American
troops at El Paso, Texas.
Carranza’s personal representative,
Felix Summerfield, left El Paso to
day for Chihuahua to Inform Gen
eral Villa that L must restrain his
men and that no foreigners or their
property shall be molested. Summer-
field will take charge of The opera
tions around Chihuahua until the ar
rival of Carranza himself.
The retreat of the Constitu
tionalist forces from the Imme
diate vicinity of Tampico, after
shutting off the entire water sup
ply of that city, was reported to
the Navy Department by Rear Ad
miral Fletcher to-day. Admiral
Fletcher reported the arrival of the
Ward liner Moro Castle, which has
been chartered by tne Navy Depart
ment to take care of American refu
gees who desire to leave Tampico
immediately. On account of rough
weather no refugees will be trans
ferred to the steamer for some hours.
Admiral Fletcher also reported the
arrival of the British cruiser Hero-
mine carrying the flag of Rear Ad
miral Craddock, of the royal navy,

A Dollar for the Poor Children’s Christinas Wil
Make Yon Happy These Holidays.
Editor Georgian:
Dear Sir: I am one of hundreds in Atlanta who wish to
aid the Empty Stocking B’und your paper has so generously
atari ed.
Like hundreds of others I have been deterred from sub
scribing because my income is so limited that 1 can not be
among those leaders who have already assured a happy Yule-
tide for scores of little Atlantans.
But I have a scheme. It is not original. Neither was the
idea of airships bom in the brain of Wilbur Wright, nor did
Marconi perfect the wireless until many men had died dis
appointed in an endeavor to do what the Italian genius ac
complished.
Here’s the scheme:
I want to organize a “Good Fellow’s Club" to boost
the Empty Stocking Fund.
The name tells the class of men I want to appeal to. I’ll
be explicit. I want to call on that class of wage earners—
good wage earners—who live in furnished apartments or
boarding houses, who have no Atlanta home ties, but who
would love to have some part in the joy of an Atlanta home
though no public credit will be given them.
I am appealing to the class of men who spend anywhere
from $1 to $5 a day in beer saloons and locker clubs.
I do not believe that they are doing any wrong when they
do so. They have to find the congeniality in those places that
the person with home ties find at home.
But I want every one of these “good fellows” to lay off
the stuff a dollar’s worth aud send that dollar to the Empty
Stocking Fund.
They will not miss the dollar, hut Christmas Day when
the deserving children of Atlanta find that Santa Claus has
not forgotten them, the men who have made this little self
denial will feel a thrill that was never inspired by Christmas
eggnog.
Here’s my dollar.
Now lets all be GOOD FELLOWS.
A GOOD FELLOW.
