Carranza and his govrnment were

of the population of Mexico.
Carranza s rule Is that of a small
armed force over unarmed citizenry.
Carranza's control Is confined to
ports a few large interior cities and
territory immediately adjacent to
three railroad lines while in the rest
or the country his forces are unable
to ma in tan order.
Cnnse of Government by Loot.
Carranza's regime Is directly the
cause of hardships on Mexicans and
foreigners for paralysis of industry
and for organization of a government
by loot.
Carranza regime virtually has repu-
diated all International obligations.
In treatment of foreigners Ameri-
cans are particularly discriminated
against by Carranza's government.

"It Is very clear" declared Gould's
memorandum "that Mr. Fletcher him-
self has not been permitted to pene-
trate the veil of secrecy with which
the state department has persistently
clouded the Mexican problem and
that whether by express direction or
not Mr. Fletcher performed his du-
ties In Mexico and here with his eyes
closed and his ears stooped except to
the official representations of the ex-
isting government of Mexico."

Names Galvan "Comman-
der of East;99 May Seek
to Rule Most of Mexico.
Vahlngton D. C July 30. In the
opinion of antl-Carranelstas here the
action of Franelvco Villa In appoint-
ing Gen. Constantino Galvan comman-
der of the army of the east in Mexi-
co with Instructions to wage relent-
less warfare against Felix Diaz re-
ported today from Mexico City
presages an a' tempt on Villa's part to
gain control of nil of 3Iexlco outtlde
of that In which Carrania forces dom
inate.
Felix Diaz long has been conduct
ing a more or less act Ire campaign
against Carranza in southern Mexico
for eeral years but as reports In-
dicate that htm fortnnes have not Im-
proved in several months. It is re card -ed
as possible that Villa's eampalcn
may eliminate him from the field.
Dins is considered tbe leader of the
old cIentlfIco section survivors of
tbe regime of president Diaz an uncle
of the rebel leader. According to re
ports here Felix Diaz sent Gen. Man-
uel Mondracon to the north several
months ago to consult Villa and Gen.
Anjreles who recently was proclaimed
"provisional president of Mexico by
1 1lia followers regarding plans for
combining forces against Carranza.
Not only was the Jroject spurned by
tne Viilistas but tien. 3ionuragnon
barely escaped with his life.
Mexican Alliance
At Work To Prevent
U. S. Intervention
Home from an extended trip
through the east. Manual Bon Ilia of
El Paso who is active In the Mexican
Liberal Alliance declares that organi-
zation's work is meeting with general
approval both among Mexicans and
Americans who hope to see Mexico's
troubles settled without intervention.
The object of the alliance Is to get
all Mexican factions together and to
restore law and order In the country.
Mr. Bonilla says the object of Gen.
Felipe Angeles in going into Mexico
was to get the various rebel chiefs
together. He reports that Gen. An-
geles is now in southern Mexico on
the same mission It is understood
the Mexican Liberal Alliance Is rep-
resenting to all factions that Ameri-
can intervention Is iot far off and
that the only way to prevent Ameri-
can occupation Is for them to get to-
gether and put their own house in
order.
The new organization Is reported to
be distinctly ant I Carranza claiming
that harmonious action Is impossible
under the present regime.
Reports Praise
Work Of Troops
In Juarez Fight
Artillery Cavalry Infantry
v And Lngmeers Share
In Honors.
Washington D. C July 30. Offi-
cial detailed reports on the recent
punitive expedition Into Juarez to
drive out Villa troops when the bat-
tle there threatened lives of Ameri
cans in EI Paso give especial praise
to the work of both artillery and the
cavalry.
It is said that some of the achieve-
ments of the Second battalion of the
S2nd field artillery under command
of Lieut. CoL H. Jj. Newbold. were as
spectacular as any in the great war.
when the small nature of the engage-
ment Is taken Into consideration.
Exactly on Target.
The report says CoL Newbold had
his men and guns in- so closely behind
the skirmish line that they were
ready to fire before the Infantry had
made contact ana tne instant tne
command to fire was given the
shrapnel began sweeping the fence
corners and grand stand of the race
track where the Villa troops were
exactly on the target.
Col. Newbold's batteries got off 61
rounds with such speed and accuracy
that observers report the action like
a performance of the prize gun teams
In France which made several new
records with the French 75's. When
the Infantry advanced every point
of vantage ground around the Mexi-
can positions was found riddled with
steel bullets.
Engineers Set Record.
The cavalry comes in for a full
measure of praise for Its rapid move-
ment to cut off the main rebel bodr.
while the performance of the engi-
neers In throwing across the Hlo
Grande. In less than an hour a pon-
toon bridge capable of bearing the
heaviest equipment Is reported as
having set new records In that line.
The "doughboys" of the infantry
of course come in for their usual
share of praise which is In no way
dimmed by the mention of the suc-
cess of the engineers cavalry and
artillery.
