TO think will be the natural course
of events, there is always the fact
to be presented that Villa is q SOL

1t is said that Villa has no aspira-

fighting was fierce and he fought al
ways with his men, cutting, slash
ing. cursing. yelling, always in the
front urging his followers to greater
endeavor, beside himself with the
lust of battle. It is said that his
hatred for Diaz and the Mexican
federal troops, who had bounded him
for SO many years, was uppermost
in his brain and in his assaults
against them everything was swept
aside except this wild desire to an
initiate anything standing for the
0espot.
With all his illiteracy. he can hard
ly read or write, and all his re-
ported blood-Iust, this man is

of the European type, but just the

lie creates an army from a ragged
horde and inspires worship among
his troops. He is both feared and
loved. Feared because of his un-
governable temper, which strikes
forth without warniys, and loved
for his unassuming qualities. He Is
more, far more strict with his Of
fcers than with his men. He is one
of them in appearance, habits and
temperament. The poems feel that
he has never grown away from them
and that he has suffered all their
wrongs.
Divides Loot With Troops.
His greatest weakness is his vindic-
tive temper, but he is generous TO
a fault with his men and always
divides all spoils amongst the army

This constant dividing Of loot ex-
plains, to a great extent. the HUcking

constitutionalist chieftain.
He has been time and time again
depicted as a bloodthirsty villain,
who thought of very little else but
riot and carnage. He has been de-
sCribed as a cigarette ficnd and a
drunkard. From a late authoritative
source comes the Information that
Villa smokes very little. and Is al
most a fanatic for prohibition. The
first thing that he does on entering
a vanquished city IS to close all
saloons and station guards in front
of them.
AS a bandit he has been denounced
as relentless, Dreying vulture,
cruel without mercy. His cham

CARRANZA and VILLA
Reach AGREEMENT
Mexican Rebels VIII Act as
Merely Spectators During
Huerta'S Trouble
WILL SUPPORT THE
PEACE PROPOSITION
BY y. c. PARKE.
ited press staff Correspondent


Ell PASO, Texas, April 29-The
tense situation that has existed along
the Mexican border was somewhat
relieved today by receipt Of private
advices from Constitutionalists in
chihuahua that the conferences there
between General Venustiano Car
rama and General Francisco villa.
far from breaking up, have resulted
in an almost complete agreement.
The two chieftains, say the dis
patches, have concluded that the
Constitutionalists should act merely
as spectators in the trouble between
the United States and General Victor
iano Huerta, so long as there is no
armed invasion of the Constitutional
ist territory
The Statements of President Wilson
and Secretary of State Bryan that
they are not making war on Mexicans,
but upon Huerta, will be accepted at
their face value.
we ConstituuOnalists have known
ali along that there were no differ
ences between villa and Carranza, "
said Robert V. Pasqueira, conhden-
tial agent of General Carranza in El
Paso. "And we have known all
along that both would do everything
in their power to maintain peace with
our very good friend and powerful
neighbor, the United States. / knew
Carranza and Villa had no differ
ences to settle which would make
their meeting now of any particular
Importance"
When asked whether his chief had
accepted the A. b. c. mediation propor
sition, or had made any statement re-
garding It, Pesqueira replied:
"lnasmuch as the question Is one
between the United States and
Huerta, do not understand We
would necessarily be addressed of.
ficially by either the United States
or the mediators. That being the
case, there can be no official state.
