Many Federa1s With Villa.

Villa has incorporated into his army
most of the federals who were interned
by the United States at Fort Bliss and
after that at Fort Wingate. He drove
them across the border by his victory
at Ojinaga in January, but he would
rather have them now among his regu-
lar enlisted troops than as roaminE 8
bandits, whom he would have to hunt
down. Villas policy from the begin
ming of his military successes has been
to take the opposing troops who were
defeated into his ranks when he did
not execute them as prisoners.
A great source Of uncertainty in any
compromise settlement between Car
rama and Villa, with Carranza doing
the compromising, is the constitution
alist money. The plan Of Carranza to
is known to have been one Of the
causes of Villas discomfort. Nomi-
nally. this was to take up other issues
of fiat money, but the fear was that it
merely would discredit what is known
as the Villa currency, which was put
out in Chihuahua, and which circulates
all through northern Mexico.
The currency question is more thu n
an incident in the situation. Until
something is done to settle it the
country will continue in condition of
financial anarchy, which will interfere
Viewing the situation generally, 1T
may be said that the triumph of Villa,
while it may not stop the endless
chain, will postpone revolutions and
revolts, because he is better able to
put them down than Carranza. Wheth-
gratulations which he sent to President
Wilson on the proposed withdrawal of
the American forces at Vera Cruz will
be determined by developments.

Yellow river, with its high dikes; to

The first step in this important
work is the sending OF board Of
eminent engineers to China to study
Mr.. Jameson's plan, report upon its
value and practicability and make
such changes as more extensive
survey may suggest. The Chinese
government has left to the American
Red Cross the selection Of this board
and has asked, in case the plan is
carried out, that the American Red
Cross recommend to the Chinese gov
eminent an engineer. preferably an
army engineer, for appointment as
engineer-in-chief.
