structed both these officials to forward
al! facts in the case to the white
house as repadiy as received. What
action the Washington authorities will
take depends upon the developments
these facts indicate.
At the state department and army
headquarters here advices received to
day indicated at least sixteen Ameri
cans have been killed. How’ this af
fair has affected congress is reflected
in the introduction by Senator Sher
man, a republican, of a resolution pro
posing armed intervention in Mexico
jointly by the United States and six
Pan-American nations which hereto
fore acted together in Mexican af
fairs. The resolution proposes that
intervention be delayed only a reas
onable time in which Carranza must
comply with a formal demand to pro
tect lives and property throughout the
republic. The resolution for referred
to the senate committee on foreign re
lations, of which Senator Stone, dem
ocrat, is chairman.

EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 12. —A commit
tee committee of citizens was this af
ternoon appointed to organize a mon
ster mass meeting to be held here and
make formal protest against the atti
tude of the federal government tow'ard
I th.? Mexican situation and the appar
ent failure of the de facto government
to prefect American traveling in that
country under the protection of prom
ises made by Carranza. The delay in
th<e arrival of the bodies of murdered
foreigners has served to increase the
indignation already apparent here,
though Mexican officials at Juarez this
afternoon said the bodies are now on
their way to the border. Official ad
vices later states that the funeral train
v ould leave Chihuahua City this after
noon. General Persing, in command
of the United States troops here, has
been notified that it would be wise to
detail additional guards along the bon

I Does your watch need attention? Ask yourself the question.
“How long has it been since ; had my watch cleaned and re-oiled?’’'
Remember a watch is a machine and must be cared for as such. Let
them run too long without being cleaned and oiled and the bearings
become worn and the watch ceases to give satisfaction, if it does not
refuse to run at all. We not only repair, adjust and time all makes of
American watches, but specialise on fine and complicated Swiss and
English watches, and guarantee our work.
Think it over. Perhaps you have a job for us. We shall be
pleased to serve you. • I ! , - rI r- i
