Show M THE MASSACRE OF PIIJ AMERICANS Pllj Tlio attention of tlio wholo nation H Is being directed to Mexico bIiico the PJJJ Xoul murder of 17 Americans at tlio PHHJ I hands of Mexican outlaws last week. H Tho question arises In tho minds of PffM ' tho Amorlcan subjects Just how long, PJJI O Lord, do we havo to suffer thoso PJJJ outrages upon tho lives of innocent PffJ nubjects of tho Stars and Stripes. H I Tho Ogdou Standard sums up the sit- Pill nation by stating that now Is thu H -tlmo for I'rosldcut Wilson to prove PHHJ that ho has backbono and firmness. PHHl Tho masuacro of Americans near PJjl ' Santa Ysahcl, CO ratios from Chlhun- Pill liua, Mexico, calls for strong action PJJJ by this government. PJJJ A largo Carranza force was within PJJJ striking dlstauco of tho guerillas who PPPJ killed tho Americans. If, after tho PHHJ news reached them, tho Carranza PJJJ troops fulled to attempt to capture PJH nnd punish tho brigands, then the PJJJ lo facto government should bo mado PHHJ to answer to tho United States. PJJj Our policy In relation to Mexico PPPJ' has lacked vigor. There must bo PjpH behind every declaration somo show PJH of earnest resolve Wo must not al- PfH low tho Mexicans with Carranza or PJjJ tho guerilla chiefs to bcllovo tho PJH United States has at Us head a man PjH -who will not strlko howovcr great PpH may bo tho provocation. PJH Carranza must bo given to under- PJH stand that a great and lrrcparablo PjhH crltno has been committed against PJH . tho citizens of this country by an PJH clement at tho discordant forcos ot PJH .Mexico, and ho, as tho recognized PjH head ot that government, must dls- PPH -piny energy and determination in PjpH vanishing thoso who havo massacred PJJJ tho Amorlcans. If Carranza falls to PjpH -consider tho offenso of sutUclont lm- PJJJ portanco to call for a supremo effort PJJJ to vindicate tho great mass of tho PHHH pcoplo of Moxlco, then tho United PJJJ States should proceed to do that PjPPJ which Carranza falls to do. |
