thereafter he would confer with Gov-
valuable services he has rendered to
Venustlano Carranza, the constitution

"T;his President: Wilson should know

on Mexico, even though such a course

The Iuiparclal publishes today, un
der a scare head, the statement that
the adherents of Carranza in the vicin
ity of Juarez shot two American army
officers. This news is alleged to have
been conveyed to the federal capital
by private messages which declare
that President Wilson is horrified by
the infamous executions carried out
by Villa, which has inclined him to tho
Mexican policy, "demanded by jtiBtice
