All Facts on Mexico’
(By International News Service) '
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.--The Ad
ministration to-day promised “to take
the lid off” the Mexican situation and
hereafter to keep Congress informed
of the developments as rapidly as
ofMicial information Is received from
the turbulent republic. This was
learned following a conference be
tween Beorstary of Slate Lansing
and Senator Stone, of Missourl, the
chairman of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee,
“l told the Secretary of State 1
would like to be kept fully Informed
of tae developments in Mexico when
over information of an nmvl:'} nature !
is recelved by the department,” said,
Senator Stone. “The Secretary has
promised to transmit such reports
to me Ay soon as they are received”
Senator Stone reiterated In em
phatic language his belles that Gen
eral Carranza should be permitted to
work out Mexico's salvation.
“It is silly to think Carranza could
restore complete order there In two
weeks,” Senator Stone said. “I fhink
hie should be given a decent chance
to make good.”
Senator Stone indicated that the
Administration is determined not to
change its attitude.
Senator Stone also urged upon Sec.
retary Laneing the necessity for im
medlately answering the Fall resolu
tion, requesting specific Information
sbout Mexico. He said that until the
department complies with the ¥Fall
resolution there iz no possibllity of
oon&r::lu the Presldent’s nomination
of ry P. Fletcher as Ambassador
to the newly recognized de facto gov
ernment of Mexico.
Indications are that the President’s
answer to the Fall resolution will be
ready when the Foro!&;i Relations
Committes meets next Wednesday to
consider the Mexiean situation in

in particular.

Incendiary Saves 9
Victims With Brick
ADEL, Jan. 15.—But for the fact
that a brick was thrown against the
door of his burning house, John
Clements and his family, who lived
a few miles above Adel, would have
perished in the flames, Aroused by
the brick, Mr. and Mrs. Clements and
their seven children groped their way
through smoke and flame to safety.
The fire apparently was of incen
diary origin and Mr. Clements is
sure he would have perished with his
entire family had not the perpetra

by throwing a brick with much force
against the front door. No clew as

in great danger In their flight to lho‘

have to pass through disiricts in
which Villa or his followers are su
preme.
The situation at Parral caused in
}uma excitement here to-day. In that
| Mexican town there are 125 Ameri
cans., As reports reached here that
General Villa and a large forces of
Mexicans were marching on the town
with the intention of destroying It
and killing a!l the forelgners there,
a special train was sent from Juarez
with the object of rescuing the im
periled Americans
Carranza troops were also rushed
toward Parral, but they were met and
defeated by the Villistas at Escalon.
This will endanger the rescue train,
as the Villa soldlers will be able to
attack It on its way to the border,
Won't Murt Aid.
Carranza officlals In El Paso and
Juarez to-day reiterated their asser
tion that the troops of the “first
chief” would be able to dee! with the
situation, and refused to consider
proposals that American troops cross
the border for temporary help in sub
duing the Villistas.
Despite their confident assertions,
however, reports reached the border
\hat Villa forces had won further suc
cesses in the vieinity of Torreon and
that a campaign for the recapture of
(hihuahua City, now a Carranza base,
had been opened by the revolutionary
leader.
With Chihuahua in the hands of
Villa, the efforts to rescue the foreign
ers now in Northern Mexico would be
completely checked. To assure the
escape of the menaced Americans the
control of the railway lines must be
held by Carranzistas.
Situation Is Critical.
In the meantime the situation on
the border remains critical. Issuance
of the anonymous proclamation call
ing Americans to arms to avenge
thelr countrymen who fell in the San
ta Ysabel massacre, reports that the
Mexican troops in Juarez were plan
ning an invasion of the United States,
and other wild rumors are keeping
El Paso on the alert,
Thus far the United States soldlers
under command of General John J.
Pershing have prevented any general
outbreak of violence, though numer
ous Mexicans have suffered here n
isolated attacks.
The additonal guard at the Interna
tional bridge leading into Juarez was
kept there to-day by General Persh
ing's orders. No Americans were
permitted to crosse the structure.
Along the Rio Grande for a distance
of twenty miles the American patrols
were doubled last night. Their
strength will be increased to-night.
A cordon of United States infantry
men to-day separated the Mexican
and American sections of El Paso,
patrolling the street between them to
prevent any clash. The soldiers fired
three times at skulking figures on the
Mexican side of the --a..fi line"” dur
ing the night, but if anyone was
wounded he was carried away by his
companions before dawn.
Rodriguez's Body Expected.
The body of GoneH{Jon Rodrigues,
who was executed late vesterday at
Madera, is expected to arrive at Jua
rez this afterncon, The Carranza of
ficials will place It on exhibition as a
warning to other Mexicans that the
lives of foreigners in Mexico must be
protected,
General Rodriguez was not charged
specifically with the murder of the
Americans killed at Santa Ysabel, but
was tried as a traitor to the present‘
Mexican Government, found guilty
and immediately executed. In carry

Ambassador, However, Says Mis
| : .
~ sion Failed Because of Many
| Grave Blunders
| By HERMAN BERNSTEIN.
- THE HAGUE. Jan. 15 --Ambasss
dor Gerard saild concerning the Ford
expedition and 's effect in Germany
“Mr. Ford's plan deserves unguall
fied pralse and admiration. 1 bellieve
all efforts. however fantastio, of
-umd!ng.dp-m- sentiment should be
EnCoOurag Mr. Ford started upon the
right principle Even If he came (o
Perlin dressed like & clown in green
tights, carrying peace placards and
running up and down Wilbeimatrasse
shouting ‘Peace!’ 1| would say bhe de
served praise
“You can not talk too much of
poacs, but Mr. Ford permitted himeelf
to be drawn into grave biunders, vi
tiating the peace expedition. The
chiof blunder was the presence and
influence of fonz{nou in the Ameri
can expedition. No members of the
belligerents should have been con
nected with it. This naturally alien
ated serious consideration
“Under the best clroumstances, the
crowd was (00 large—a amall but rep
resentative American commission
coming with Mr. Ford might have
achieved something tangible. There
was no serse in the haphazard way,
“Then the blunder of criticising
President Wilson's national defense
policy made the American sxpedition
not only hopeless, but positively dan
gerous. 1 wouid have declined to have
received Mr. Ford or any member of
the expedition who signed the piedge
opposing the American national deo
fense. It is almost treason to preach
American defenselessness and en
deavoring to Chinafy America when
all the world is arming.
“All know that national defense is
not militarism. It ls for peace, not
war, like fire engines fighting a fire,
not starting a fire
“It is deplorable that the Ford ex
pedition showed so little political wis
dom and love for America and peace.
This ended its usefulness.™

Advisory Board Declares Efie
| ciency of Force Is Now
at Stake. .
Deciding to maintain the National
Guard of Georgla intect. (o preserve
all its units, and to foster its growth,
but insisting thet it can not be kept
in e present efficient condition with
an ansual appropriation of §580,000,
from the State, the military advisory
noard summoned by Adjutant General
Nash completed its duties Friday and
dei_:ued\
board, presided over by Brig
adier General Walter A, Margia, with
General Nash as recorder, adopted
the following recommendations
“Whereas, there now exists & 4o
ficlt of 31542494 in the military de~
s-nnwat of the Siate, which is net
we In any way (o extravagance ia
that department, as the department
has been very econcmically adminie
tered, but is attributable solely to the
inadequate and insuMcient epwugmo
tions heretofore made by the Stale
for the support and maintenance of
that department, and
Asks for $5,000.
“Whereas, after a careful examina
tion and close scrutiny of the expen
ditures of the department it is ap
parent to this board that the mili
tary can not maintain Its present
force and efficiency on an annual ap
propriation of less than $50.000. And
Whoereas, the State In it appro
priations to the military fund for the
year 1916, has only made avallabie,
outside of riot duty, the sum of thir
tl thousand dollars. Therefors,
This board recommends to the Gov
ernor that the General Assembly at
its coming session be requested to
aporopriate the sum of $15.456.96
to pay the deficit now existing, and
the further sum of $15,000 which will
be absolutely necessary for the main
tenance of the military department
during the present year, over and
above the appropriation of $30,0000,
and $5.000 which can be used only
for riot duty, made at the last -'“h! ‘
Recommendations of Board.
“And this board fudther recom-~
mends that in the future at least
$50,000 be provided by appropria
tion each year for the support and
mainteaance of the military depart
ment of the State, as this board finds
after eliminating every possible ex
pense that Is not ecssential to the
mantenance of the military, the sum
of SSOOOO is the least amount on
which the military department of the
State can be maintained.”
The only absentes members of the
board were Major Milton J. Daniel,
chief quartermaster’ corps, and Unit
ed States disbursing officer, of Griffin,
and Captain Francis P. Mecintyre,
commanding the Georgia Hussars, of
Savannah.
