of whom 50,000 have arrived already.
German officers declare that these
troops will co-operate with the Aus

which is to advance against Saloniki."”
Germans have been hard at work
in Southern Serbia during the past
few weeks bullding railway lines for
she transportation of big guns, am
raunition and provisions.
The Petit Parisienne’s Saloniki cor
respondent reports that German uni
formis are being distributed among
the Bulgarian soldiers, as well as
modern war appllances which the
Bulgars lacked.
Great numbers of shells containing
asphyxiating gases are being stored
on the Greek border by the Germans.
“The Germans are speeding up their
concentrations of men and ammuni
tions,” wires the Salonlk! correspon
dent of The Petit Journal. “An en

at Xanthi. Aerodromes are being
built ana aeroplanes are arriving.”

No matter if you are a busy man—or a busy woman—and
you have no time to “bask in the sunlight.”
Whether yours be a room with northern, eastern or western

There are scores of sunlit rooms offered each day among
the “Rooms For Rent” ads in the Want Ad pages of The

Carden was shot in the back as h-«;
stepped on the porch and turned to |
close the front door. Death was in- |
stantaneous. His assassin, who _-:wnll
in the yard, but a short distance away,
used a shotgun. He fled as soon as

WASHINGTON Jan 15, ~Dise=
patches were received by the State
Department this afternoon from along
the Texas-Mexican border which ine
dicate strongly that General Carran
}u s representatives not only pledgad
| protection to the seventeen Americans
% who were massacred pear Chihuahua,
but also urged them to return to thelr
' mines
General Obregon, Carransa's chief
!mm!ar)' representative, is declared to
have given personal assurances that
;lrr Americans would not be molested
‘.r they would return to thelr proper
ty in Chihuahua.
. OfMclals plainly were worried by
this latest development. They admit
ted that it would place the State De~
partment in a bad light, ilnasmuch a 8
it would practically make it impossi
ble to rely upon Carranza’s pledges of
protection in the future,
Hunt for Guard Order,
It also was learned on reliable au
thority at the State Department to
day that it is possible the State De
partment requested Carranza's men to
guard the train carrying the seven
teen Americans.
Secretary Lansing denled two days
ago that this had been done. It de
veloped to-day, however, that seversl
orders were issued without his knowl
edge.
Consul Thomas D. Edwards, in Jua
rez, has been quoted in press reports
as saying he was ordered from Wash
{ngton to ask Carranza to protect the
Americans who later were slain. Of
ficlals to-day would not repeat the
denial of this statement, which they
made two days ago.
| To Prevent Invasion.
. Every effort will be made by the Ad
ministration to prevent any private
armed {nvasion of Northern Mexico.
Orders have been issued to the
army border patrol to watch for any
such movement, to disperse any force
that tries to cross the border and to
arrest under the neutrality laws the
leaders of any such movement.
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Lansing unite in believing that
the omly thing which could force a
change in policy at this time would
be another wholesale massacre of
American citizens, or a clash between
Americans and Carranzista forces in
which the latter would lose heavily.
American consular representatives
have been ordered to prevent the for
mer by getting all Americans out of
Mexico while the border guard of
regular troops will be expected to pre
vent the latter by keeping any ex
pedition intending to revenge the
killing of Americans north of the Rio
Grande.
