The indignation of all Christian people at the outrage' committed by Huerta and Villa follower' in Mexico against foreigners may result event ually jn intervention by the < nited States, backed by other power.' But President Wilson and Secretary Bry an’s advice of several month' ago should have been followed, when they requested all Americans and foreign ers to leave Mexico By taking account of sucn property they could not remove, notifying the American consuls of its value, and , whom to hold responsible for its safety, the Mexican government would be held responsible for all property destroyed, and lands owned by foreigners will finally be restored to them, no matter who rules Mexico. But since some foreigners elected to remain in Mexico, it becomes the duty of their government to demand and see that they receive protection, so long as they do not meddle with or take part in the factional warfare being carired on in that country. The Benton and Vergara cases are the first ones to appear to demand that this country take some drastic step to punish the Mexican murder ers responsible for their death. The former was a subject of Great Brit ain, the latter an American citizen.

This is not due to any fear as to the final result, should war be forced with Mexico, but to a sentiment that is fa-t taking deeper hold of the Am erican people, that it is wrong' to sacrifice the lives of loyal Citizens in order to settle differences between , nations and governments It is deeply regretted that the Mexican leaders have proven them selves incapable of even conducting what is recognized as civilized war fare, and that their cowardly and overbearing disposition has caused them to commit, or pertAit the com < mission of such crimes as the mur dering of Benton.

Notwithstanding the contempt of Americans for the cowardly Mexi cans. the Christian people of this na tion still have faith in the admims nation at Washington to obtain re tlress for these bloody deeds and re tain the national honor without re sorting to arms.
