Some International law experts now be
lieve thnt this article would prevent any

The British Government Is evidently
familiar with the treaty, as an Increase In

VILLA SAYS CARRANZA
WANTS TO FIGHT U. S.
Leader of the North Said to
Have Placed Evidence1 at
Our Disposal
By JOHN W. ROBERTS
EIv PASO, Tex., Aug. 28.-That General
Venustlano Carranza Is trying to Involve
the United States and Mexico In a terri
ble war Is the assertion made by General
Frrinclsco Villa In a message ftom the
revolutionary leader received by a friend
In this city. Villa is said to haVe laid
his evidence against Carranza before an
agent of the American Government.
Ever since Villa spill with his former
chief he has claimed that Carranza could
never win control of northern Mexico.
Villa's friends have been proclaiming for
some time that Carranza probably would
try to win alt Mexicans to an undivided
aupport of himself by bringing on war
with the United States, but Villa's mes
sage Is the nrst Indication that he has
accepted that theory as to Carronza's
policy.

PROTEST AGAINST CUT
IN "SHORE LEAVE"
Sailors and Marines Resent
Order Keeping Them in Navy
' Yard Overtime
Sailors and. marines at the Philadelphia,
N'avy Yard are aroused over nn order
posted by the commandant which pre
vents them from leaving the yard at
Ledgue Island until ahcr the civilian em
ployes are all dismissed. So indignant
havo the enlisted men become over the
recent ruling that they have dispatched
a letter to the secretary 6f the Navy
calling hlH attention to what they call a
curtailment of their liberty nnd an addi
tional discrimination against the men In
uniform.
The commandant's order was caused by
a protest from tho civilian emplojes that
they were unable to find places In tho
trolley curs at the entranco to the yard
owing to (he presenco of large numbers
of enlisted men who were then going on
shoro leave. Most of the civilians em
ployed at tho navy yard finish their work
between 4:15 and 5 o'clock. Tile work of
the enlisted men -comes to a dally end at
about tho same tlmO, and as the policy of
the onicers of the various ships has been
to permit their men as much shore leave
as possible, especially thOBC who live In
this city, It followed tlint both civilians
and enlisted men swelled the crowd that
flowed from thb navy yard gate each day,
Additional cars are sent to the gate
dally to Like care of file additional de
mands, but since tho disappearance of
th6 Jitneys there has been dissatisfaction
and discomfort experienced by both
classes of Government employes.
The matter was brought to n climax
when n delegation of civilian employes
callud on Commandant Knapp to ask for
relief. They suggested that enlisted men
be allowed to leave before the civilian
employes were at liberty for the day, or
else prevent enlisted men from leaving the
yard until after 5 o'clock. On Wednes
day an order was posted on the Kansas,
Minnesota, Columbia and Brooklyn re
questing that enlisted men be given leave
either before tl!5 or else not until after
t o'clock.
The sailors and marines took umbrage
at the order, but under the regulations
they were unable to do anything but
make u personal appeal to the Com
mandant to rescind It, This they did
not do. In writing to the Secretary of
the Navy of their grievance the com
mittee which drew Up the letter signed It
The Enlisted Men of the Philadelphia
Navy Yard."
