POSTPONEMENT
OF ELECTIONS
Activities of Marauders in Re
. public Makes Electoral
Campaign Undesirable, '
Says President.
Washington, Jan. 17. President
Carranza's manifesto to the Mexican
people urging that the presidential
election be deferred at least until
the end of the present year, was re
ceived yesterday at the State depart
ment. It refers to organized bodies
of Mexicans operating abroad as
"an unvanquished enemy" and says
the work of offsetting their efforts
should not be hampered by the
obstacles that an electoral campaign
would create.
This part of President Carranza S
manifesto was read with great in
terest by officials and diplomats
here as many Mexicans opposed to
the Carranza administration who
have been banished from their na
tive country or left on their own
free will have settled in New York,
San Antonio, and Laredo, Tex.,
in Cuba and Spain and other parts
of the world and are more or less
active in propaganda work.
Families Move Out.
El Faso, Jan. 17. Mexican fam
ilies' are moving to the American
side of the' border from Ojinaga,
Chihuahua, fearing an attack by the
rebel forces under General Felips
Angeles, according to a special dis
patch from Presidio, printed tonight
in La Republica, a Mexican daily
here favorable to the Angeles' move
ment. Ojinaga is opposite Pre
iidiox Tex.
The dispatch stated that Angeles'
column was advancing from Cuch
i!!o Parado which was occupied
Monday, advance guards having
been seen at La Mula Pass, twenty
miles south of Ojinaga. American
military iources here have no con
firmation of the reported advance
of the Angeles force toward the
border.
Guadalupe Captured.
Fabeni, Tex., Jan. 17. Guadalupe,
opposite here, was captured and
held overnight last night by a band
of armed and mounted Mexicans
reported to be a part of Gen.
Felipe Angeles' command in the
north. Guadalupe is 30 milel south
east of Guarez. The men rode into
the main street, firing at the flee
ing fiscal guards. A house to house
search was then made for ammuni
tion and arms and all were seized
together with the horses belonging
to civilians.
The Guadalupe priest crossed the
border here today and reported
that the sergeant commanding the
fiscals guards and a private soldier,
were taken tq the foothilj and exe
cuted at sunrise after which the
band rode eastward to Ojinaga.
No Interference With
Debates of Sinn Feiners
London, Jan. 17. The British
government is not expected to inter
fere with the meetings' of the Sinn
Fein parliament so long as it keeps
to the bounds' permitted debating
societies and only passes its reso
lutions, says a, Dublin dispatch to
the Mail If it exceeds these limits,
however, the dispatch adds, the gov
ernment ,will be compelled to take
action. '
Guaranties Suspended
by Spain in Barcelona
London, Jan. 17. The Spanish
government has published a decree
suspending constitutional guaran
tees in the, province of-Barcelona,

GERL1ANS SEEK
TO STEM FLOOD
OF BOLSHEVISM
Bourgeois' Parties Working
Hard to Rally Voters;
Women Taking Active
Part in Campaign.
Berlin, Jan. 17. (By Associated
Press.) With the elections to the
national assembly less than four
days off, the bourgeois parties are
bending every effort to rally voters
in a gigantic protest aginst bol-
shevism.
Two weeks go the indications
pointed to a comfortable majority
for the social democrats. The Spar
tacan ebullition in Berlin, however,
has brought about a revision of the
election estimates, the revised view
being strengthened by the results
of the local elections in Bavaria,
Baden, Wurttemberg and elsewhere.
It -now is considered highly
doubtful if the radicals jointly poll
more than 45 per cent of the total
vote, with the chances that it may
be a considerably less percentage.
Women Active in Campaign.
The women of Berlin are carrying
on an active campaign. They ap
pear to be taking to their new fran
chise privilege with a spirit of un
derstanding. Their votes probably
will be cast in an overwhelming pre
ponderance in favor of the socialist
and bourgeois democratic tickets.
It is not expected that it will be
possible to get any definite idea of
the result of the balloting before the
middle of next week.
The communistic party, which is
the polite name for the Spartacan
bolsheviki, is not officially taking
any part in the election.
