BALANCE OF POWER
Bitter Fight Seems mminent-Wash-
inston May Get Convention Should
One be Called.

Washington, Dec 15.-The fight be-
tween the Northern and Southern Re-
publicans, with all the bitterness re-
sulting from the last national con-
vention and the campaign following,
accentuated by the Southern emascu-
latlon progress now proposed, will be
renewed here tomorrow when the ma
tionai committee meets to discuss
changing the basis of representation
in all future conventions so that the
Southern Republicans will be shorn
Of power. The committee has no such
power. If its favors the plan, all
that it can do is to recommend it TO a
special national convention which it
will call.
The SOuthen members Of the COM
mittee are already on the ground,
and most of them are fighting bitter
y against the plan. The progressive
Republicans who supported Colonel
Roosevelt at Chicago up to the time
ne bolted the party are working
tooth and nail for it. The conserva-
tive Republicans from the East are,
with some exceptions, on the fence
1t is this group that will decide the
question. Senator Root is for a con-
vcntion.
II was generally believed Jay
that the convention will be called. But
the fight is so bitter that many of
the committeeman say that it may DO
more harm than good. Charles b.
Warren, Of Michigan chairman of the
law committee, said today that an un-
official canvass of the members indi-
Gated that the majority is in
favor of it. National Chairman
Charles d. Hilles insists that he has
an open mind on the question, al
though many of the intimates believe
he is secretly opposed to it.

Complaints Filed With State

EUROPE is RESTLESS.
Fletcher Says FcderaIs Were

At Tampico.
Fletcher Say

Washington, Dec. 15.-That ont.
RACES alleged to have been perpetra,
ted BY the constitutionalist genera
Villa, at Chihuahua, have served tc
further emoarrass the Mexican policy
of the Wilson administration is ad,
mitted today in official circles.
The outlook for an early adjust
ment of the Mexican difficulties is
admitted to be small. In some quar-
ters, officials admit that intervention
far from being out Of the question, is
becoming more imminent than ever
For the present, at least, all thought
of bringing the revolution to a close
through aid to the CarranZistas, has
been abandoned.
Secretary Bryan is investigating
the complaints against Villa, filed in
large numbers at the State Depart
ment. These complaints have come
indirectly, from American, German
Spanish. and other foreign residents
of Chihuahua. Those from Euro
peans are expected to be followed up
by formal protests from the govern
ments. Should the State Department
fail tC do more than indorse these
protests and turn them over to the
constitutionalist authorities. it is pos
s;b.e ;hat those.-foreign nstions will
take things in their own hands.
1t is admitted here that although,
the foreign nations thus far have re-
spccted the waiting policy" of the
United States. they are becoming
restless un:er the fact that the out
RACES reported against foreigners in
Mexico are becoming more and more
severe. 1t is pointed out that rebels
and federals alike are beginning to
regard the protests" Of the United
States in the light of bark behind
which there are no bites. Officials
here illustrate this by numerous Incl
dents that have transpired of late in
the fighting zone.

that the patient would have to go to
Baltimore for the operation. In the
