FEAR OF TROUBLE BETWEEN

APPARENTLY DISPELLED.
Have Agreed That No Military Man

would cooperate in restoring consti.
tutional government in Mexico was
revealed Tuesday when 1t became
known that General Obregon, person.
al friend of General Carranza, had
signed the proposals OF General villa
Tor an electoral program.
General Villas proposals were laid
before Paul Fuller, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson, at a re-
cent conference in Chihuahua.
The president later told callers the
proposals did not appear unreason-
able Mr. Fuller had an interview
with General Cdrranza in Mexico City
Tuesday, and 1t was reported that the
first chief also indicated his assent
TO the program mapped out by Villa,
which Is as follows:
That convention OF the delegates
of the constitutionalist army be
called to arrange the date OF the cleo.

vice-president.
That NO military man be candi.

or for governor OF any state.

clared, except as to those who com.

army who can show clean records
shall be taken into the new national
army
That all reforms shall be put
through In an energetic manner, but
on legal and constitutional basis.
General CarranZa already has COM

Under the Mexican constitution, the
provisional president cannot be can

gain Alsace-Loraine, while the Rus
slams would strike at the very root
of Teuton existence.
1t would appear that the crushing
Greman campaign in France must
reach an early consumation or else
loose something of its impetus. That
is great potent reason for assign
ing to the present great battle the
position of decisive engagement.
The French machine must be crushed
shortly or not at all. 1t would not
seem to be a matter that can be
carried along for months. The Rus
sian menace, the real menace, has de
veloped too rapidly. The Germans
may yet have to withdraw heavy for
ces from France, content with letting
the French see what would have hap
pened to them but for other consid-
erations not of their own making.
The end of the present great battle,
or series of battles, may decide.
