Juarez. Mexico July 15.--ticneral
francisco Villa was the one man among
the Constitutioualists in Juarez who
seemed TO appear unmovcd by the of
hcial announcement that General Vic
toriano iIuerta had resigned the presi-
dcncy OF Mexico. to be succeeded by
Francisco Carbajal Minister Of For.
cign relations In the Hucrta Cabinet.
and logical Constituencies successor
TO the presidency. in tho case OF re-
signation by Huerta.
When | called upon him ut his head
quarters tonight with AN extra edi
ton of an evening newspapers an
nouncinS the change In politics in
Mexico. and asked him what he thought
Of 1t. he replied thai lie saw no rea-
son TO change his mind since he gave
me an interview in Chihuahua last
promise could bring about peace in
Mexico, and that the war had only just
begun.
while am glad that Hucrta is out
the exchange Of cientificos at the head
Of the government In Mexico city does
not mean that there is not a great
deal OF work to be done by the Consti-
tutional.st party" said General Villa.
LAS have had occasion to say fire.
quenty In the past. tho Constitutions
alists have not been lighting solely 70
bring about the elimination Of the
usurper Hucrta. If that were all. his
resignation or his removal By force
would have brought peace to Mexico
long ago. Neither his death. removal
nor resignation will settle the many
great questions which must be settled
before Mexico can have any real peace.
The land question still remains. as
does the abolition Of peonage. the pre-
vention Of the exploitation OF the poor
by the rich and powerful. There are a
hundred other questions which must
be settled. and which must he settled
by this revolution if others revolutions
are not To follow, and the substitution
OF Francisco Carbajal for V!ctoriano
Hucrta so-called President OF Mex
leo will not settle them.
RANK AND FILE OF ARMY
REFUSE TO HE CHEATED
The men now under arms. who, have
borne the brunt of the hghting during
the past three years, have had oppor-
tunity to become wider awake as to
their rights as the result OF their
iningling with men from other parts of
the republic. They have become edu-
Gated TO a certain extent. and. as | un-
derstand IL. even should the leaders
consent 20 the acceptance OF Carbajal
compromise. the rank and file Of
tho army would refuse TO be cheated
II may be mistaken. but my belief
is that Hucrta. SO far from intending 10
leave the country. has simply resigned
his so-called presidency of the repub-
lie in order 10 take the field and make
desperate attempt TO rehabilitate
himself with the 'Cientiicos. who have
been supporting him. by making an eff
fort 10 prevent the forc!blc entry OF
the Constitutionalist army into Mexico
City
Until get further light on the
subject, ! will continue 10 prepare my
army for the advance South. do not
believe the war is over In fact, ] am
afraid that in a measure il is just only
begun. We have been told all along
