He added that the United States would expect evi- dence of the punishment of the bandits who kilisd the Americans near Chihua- hua and upon that evidence would de pend the action of the United States. Secretary Lansing sald if proper and final stepa were not taken, an issue might arise between the United States and the ransa government. His last statement was regarded ae aigniticant of the determination of the United States to enforce proteotion for its citizens in Mexico. p o General Carranza’s ambassador here today formally aswured Secretary Lans- Ing that the Carranza government deeply deplores the dastardly actlon of the Villa forces” in killlng elghteen Americans near Chihuahua Tuesday and added that “efficlent actlon will be taken to bring the murderers to jus- tice.” He also gave assurances that Carranza would take steps to y the situation in the state of Durango, in which depredations against foreigners have been reported. There were no developments in the situation at the White House or at the State department, but in congress both house and senate condnued to give it attention, that so far the Senator Lewls, democrat, introduced a resolution proposing to empower the president to use the army snd navy to restore order in Mexico as had been done In Haiti and Nicaragua. He asked that It lay over without action, however, and there was no further debate at that si In the house Representative Slayde: democrat, of Texas, defended the recog- nition of General Carranza and declared that if order were not restored a Pan- American coalition of nations shoull do it. President Wilson today told Senator Sheppard that the Americans had been specifically warned to keep out of Mex- |fco, in reply to a suggestion from the senator that the situation was serions, Benator Sheppard sald the president did not say what further action would be taken In regard to statements that General Obregon had urged American mining men to resume their work in Mexico, State department officlals sald no information to that effect had been received here, but it was understood a general resump- tion of mining activity was (he expressed hope of the Carranza authorities, No message oad heen received today from Consul Silliman and it is not re- garded as probable that a reply from ieneral Carranza to Secretary Lansing's krepresentations will be received before to mMosTow retary Lansing said today that the department would prepare soon for the senate the information on the Mexican situation asked by Senator Fall's resolu- tlon Not Determined. Secretary Lansing added that the ques tion of responsibility for the killings still was undetermined and that the State de- partment recognized a certain analogy between the situation in Mexico and the situation in the west during-tne early history of the United States. Carranza authorities, however, le said, should have warned the Americans away from a region which they knew to be dangerous Late today President Wilson and Secre- {tary Lansing conferred on the Mexican situation and devoted practically the | whole discussion to means for securing accurate intormation of the attacke upe Americans. {British Miners Decide to Fight Compulsory Bill LONDON, Jau., 18.-The eration of Great Britain, meeting today, resolved unanimously to oppose the bill for compulsory military services, The federation empowered its president to call & further conference in the event that the DUl becomes law, to consider what additional steps sbould be taken, | Miners' Fed- 4
