MANIFESTO GIYEN
OUT BYJARRANZA
President Says U. S. Cannot Enter
Mexico Without Granting
Reciprocal Bight
NATION WILL DEFEND RIGHTS
MEXICO CITY, March 13. The
General Carranca last night Issued
a manifesto to the nation declaring
that under no circumstances would
the Mexican government grant the
right to the United States to violate
Mexican territory by sending In an
armed force In pursuit of Villa with
out consent and reciprocal prlvllige
being first obtained and admitted.
It was sent to confidential agents of
the Mexican government In Wash
ington with instructions to make im
mediate representations to this ef
fect. fpealca for Mexicans.
General Carranza says In his manifesto:
"I am sure that I interpret In this
matter the national statement, and
that the Mexican people will com
ply in a dignified manner with their
duty, be the sacrifices what they
may, to sustain their rights and
sovereignty, if unfortunately this
drags us Into a war a war which
the United States can never justify
We will not be responsible for the
disastrous consequence and upon the
heads of the. traitorous Mexicans
who, within and without this country,
have labored to produce this result,
will fall the inexorable Justice of the
people."
. Tho full taxt of General Carranta's
manifesto follows: '
Itaatlon Very Delicate.
"Because of the assult which Fran
rtco Villa and the bandits who accom
panied htm made on the town of Colum
bus, In American territory, burning
houses and killing some of the lnhabl,
tants, soldiers as well as civilians, the
international-situation In these momenta
is very delicate, as the North American
prees have excited their people against
Mexico, and the government of that
country has ' discussed the situation in
the American congress, members of
which have advised Intervention.
"The constitutional government, which
I have the honor to represent. Is also
occupied diligently in an effort to solve
this delicate situation, trying at all costs
to maintain the dignity and sovereignty
of Mexico, and we yet hope that this
lamentable Incident may be arranged and
that there will be no reason for an Inter
national conflict.
Addresses Washlagloa.
"I have addressed the government of
the United States, through the foreign
office, stating that the Invasion of Villa
haa historical precedents, as In the years
1880 and 1888 two parties of Indiana com
ing from the United States invaded Son
ora and Chlhuamia, committing crimes
and depredations on the lives and prop
erties of the Mexicans.
"It was agreed then between the gov
ernments of the two countries to permit
the respective passage of armed forces,''
resulting In the extermination of the In
dians.! I have asked the American gov
ernment to pursue a like course in order
to solve future difficulties should they
arise, noting that Villa and his com
panions are a group of bandits whose
acta the Mexican government or reople
would not be responsible for, and that hla
reproachable conduct Is due to instiga
tion of' the reactionary element, that;
lacking patriotism and convinced of Its
Sefeat, Is trying by all means to bring
on armed intervention.
Answer Not Received.
"I hav not yet received the answer of
the American government and from the
reports of my chiefs along the frontier
learn that the American forces are mobi
lising to pursue and capture and deliver
him to the Mexican authorities; that the
expedition la In the nature of a punitive
campaign and that the sovereignty of
Mexico will be respected.
"The constitutional government has
given instructions to Its confidential
agent at Washington Immediately to
make representations that under- no cir
cumstance will any motive, be the
reasons of the United Statea government
wi.ai mey may. justiry the armed In
vasion pf Mexican territory without re
ciprocal right, being granted to the Mexi
cans, and that not for an instant will the
Invasion of Mexican territory or an out
rage to its dignity be tolerated.
"I am sure that in this I Interpret the
national sentiment and that the Mexican
people will readily comply with their
duty, be the sacrifices what they may to
maintain their rlghta and sovereignity
if. unfortunately, we are dragged Into a
war. which the United States never can
Justify, we will not be responsible for the
drastic consequences, but will serve as
instruments for Mexican traitors, within
and without our country, who have
labored long to produce this result, and
upon their heads will fall the Inexorlble
Justice of the Mexican people.''

TAKES TEXT FROM
PARADOXICAL VERSE
Dr. L. Groh Ketiewi Christ's Min
ister'. Duties in Service at
Lutheran Church.
PITFALLS OF SHALLOW-MINDED
Rev. tr. L, Oroh. at St. Mark s Knglish
Lutheran church, took as hla text Sun
day morning the verse that la perhaps
the most paradoxical one In the Plble.
He was assisted In the rervlce by Rev.
J. A. Lowe. Ph.. P.. of McOool. Neb.,
chaplain of the Nebraska Lutheran synod.
Dr. Qroh's text was the tenth verse of
the sixth chanter of the second epistle
to the Corinthians: 'As sorrowing, yet
always rejoicing; as poor, yet making
many rich: as having nothing, and yet
possessing all things."
"I'aul, in this chapter, reviews th
duties of ministers of Christ and enum
erates tha afflictions that they must be
prepared to suffer for tho rake of the
sospcl." said the sneaker.
"This verse la w paradox, a trlrl
paradox. And as such It Illustrates well
the pltfnlls into which the shallow
mlndfd foil when they presume to criti
cise God's word and plan. A superficial
person, looking at this verse in his char-'
aeterletle euperflclal manner would Im
mediately curl a scornful Up and Bay It
was false on the face of it.
Rorrnnlagi Yet Rejoicing.
"But a little analysis shows In. thlj
verse the rich gold that a study uncovers
In any part of the Bible. How. then,
can a person be sorrowing yet always
rejoicing? Luther, when he stood by the
body of his dead daughter knew pro
foundest sorrow; yet at the same time ho
professed the aupremeat Joy because hf
knew that she was saved and happy
and safe.
"The Christian may always be In sor
row for the sin and Iniquity which he
sees in tha world all about him. and yet
sees the peace and Joy of God because he
tealizea that Christ haa saved the world.
"How ran one be poor and make many
rich? Paul speaks here of worldly
poverty and spiritual riches. Paul ha1
nothing. He had given up all his material
riches. Tet he made many rich by ret
son of the fact that he preached Christ's
salvation to them.
"And so with the final apparent
paradox, as having nothing and yet
possessing all things. The apostles had
nothing in worldly goods, yet they
possessed all. things because they hai
what la worth Immeasurably more than
earthly riches."

"If a nation is powerless either to hold
