Mercury Goes Down to Six Below Here lM night, or rather last evening, saw Ihe mercury swing lower In Pen dleton than It has for four years. Six l low aero was the minimum reach- d and that point was reached about ; o'clock last evening. After that Votir the temperature rose several de crees and at 8 was only two below. This morning at S It was 2 above sero. The rise In temperature during the night was caused by the clouding ever of the skies. Had the skies re mained clear, the coldest snap In many yars would probably have been tecorded. I Hiring the early morning, snow began fulling again and It con tinued until after 10 o'clock, about two inches In all falling. This after, noon another light snow began.

The answer to her nuestlon is that worms and fruit constitute the robin's diet. According to W. L. Finley. state biologist, the thing to do for the robin red breast Is to give him some fruit, particularly apples, since there are no worms available now. Mf. Finley advises people not to throw the feed Into the snow but to clear off the window sill or some other place and place the food there. The snow bird may be fed on bird seed, crumbs or other food of that sort.

Official messages received here tell how 16 Anieriaans and two Englishmen were dragged from a Mexican Northwest ern train, robbed of $25,000, stripped of their clothing ana shot in coll blood. News received shows that the mas sacre was the result of direct orders given by Villa to kill every Ameri can and all other foreigners met With. It is even reported that Villa himself commanded the firing squad. The bandits first began to shoot tho members of the party, one at a time. Seeing that death was inevitable, sev eral attempted to run and were shot down. Thomas Holmes, an American who escaped by hiding aDoard the train says he heard the shrieks of the vic tims as they were being murdered Holmes brought the first news to Bl j Paso.

The delegates denounced the Washington administration's Mexican policy. The men were lured back to Mexico by passports granted at Washington jnd through CMTkBM! guarantee or protection. The Americans were PA fused an escort of Carranza soldiers, though if this had been given they would have been saved British Con-' sul Scobel at Chihuahua has confirm ed the massacre.

Prompt action for redress and to prevent any repetition of the incident has been started by Wilson and Lansing. Nor thern Mexico consuls are ordered to report the details. The United States will hold Carranza responsible. The British embassy Inquired re garding the Englishmen involved in the massacre and it is expected Eng land will protest. The state depart ment expects Carranza to promptly dispatch troops to seek the murderers and protect other Americana. EL PASO. Jan. 12. In helpless rage the city awaited today the ar rival of the train bearing the eighteen lullet-rlddled bodies. Apparently nothing has been done officially to ward avenging the massacre. A spir it of bitterness toward the Wilson ad ministration ts apparent on everv band. The fact that Villa and 15 men were at LaJunta two days ago streng thened the belief that Villa personal ly commanded the bandits. A special train chartered to bear the bodies will arrive late tonight. Hundreds of protests have been wired to Washington demanding Immediate sett on to effectively safeguard Amer icana In Mexico. The Guggenheim In terests have practically decided to withdraw their employes and close their Mexican mines. Further details of the massacre v.ere not obtainable because of a strict censorship. It was reported General Tievino sent an expedition to pursue the bandits, but the latter have tw days start and are believed safe In the mountains. Villa Is known to have harbored a Utter hatred of Americans since Car ranza has been recognized. Authori ties think he bided his time for just such an opportnnity to whet his thirst for revenge.
