Spencer reached the border yester day to obtain a ransom for the re lease of himself and his Wife, return ing to Ojitos. According to Spencer, Salazer gave him the following message to take to the border: "Tell the American people that Jose Ynez Salazer is going to visit them shortly and distribute a feHv pounds of lead in their midst. Just as soon as the forces I am expectingreach me, I shall strike some American city or town and no American force or Car- ranza army will prevent me from carrying out my plans. Columbus will be as nothing compared to my strike. "During my stay I will make every effort to protect American women and children, but the men of 'gringoland will have to take care." The Warren ranch interests are understood to have agreed to pay $5,- 000 ransom for Spencer and his wife. Spencer returned to Salazer after meeting his employers. The Mexi cans had threatened to kill his wife if he failed to come back. The ransom, it was understood, would be paid in monthly installments and its payment would insure protection to the ranch interests from future raids. While close observers of the border situation professed to see nothing alarming in Salazer' s threat, a ma jority, of tho population was appre hensive. It was recalled that Villa before his raid on Columbus, sent a warning that he was coming. Later movements of the band "which killed the American cowboys are unknown here.

'News of the liberation of the 72 American searhen brought to Germany by the prize ship ship Yarrowdale came tonight after President Wilson and other Adminis tration officials had retired. Their re lease disposes of one of the most pressing and irritating phases of the GermanAmerican situation. Washington, Feb. 15. Ai peremp tory demand mpon Germany for the release of the 72 American seamen brought in by the prize ship Yarrow dale was prepared at the state de partment tcd'ay with President Wil son's approval. While officials were reticent about the communication it Was admitted that it would go for ward shortly through the Spanish ambassador at Berlin. To accompany the demand, the de partment has gathered complete data, showing the treatment accorded Ger man sailors in American ports. It is confidently expected that Ger many will free the sailors without mucif more delay, thus disposing of the most pressing of the questions which arise, immediately after the se verance of relations between the two countries. There virtually is no hope here, however, that the hour of more serious trouble with Germany can be postponed much longer. Many responsible officials have come to the conclusion that unless there is a promipt and decided change in the general attitude of Germany toward the interests of the United States, the appearance of President Wilson before Congress to ask au thority to affori protection to Ameri can lives and property is only a mat ter of day Atlanta Ga., Feb. 16.
