Changed Attitude OF Paper That
ilcfumed-iiisa During Mexi-
can ImbrOgliO.
[E=em the Washington Post ]

The American people are proud
of the manner in which the
President has sustained the
dignity and prestige of the
United States during the troub-
lous times succeeding the out
break of the European war.
This mighty, free democratic
nation, peopled by men who
possess full individual and po-
litical rights. with absolute free
dom of opinion and with intel
ligence to form a correct opinion
is the only nation of the first
rank in the world that is not in
yolved in war. 1t is on friendly
terms with all nations, and
wishes to retain their friendship
The President has interpreted
to foreign nations the true spirit
of the United States. He has
made plain to them the desire of
this nation to maintain a policy
of strict neutrality and impair
tial friendship, while guarding
its own rights. He has shown
that this nation intends to adj
here scupulously to its ancient
rule of refraining from partici-
pating in the politics of Europe.
He has strived to make clear the
fact that the United States will
continue its independent course:
that it seeks no advantage at the
expense of the nations now at
war, and that it stands ready and
anxious to use its friendly Offices
in behalf of peace among them
all.
The real greatness of the ma.
ton has been reflected by the
words and the attitude of the
President. His own achieve
ments in behalf of the mainte-
nance of peace between the
United States and Mexico add
weight to his utterances. The
good faith of the United States
as an advocate of world peace is
not and cannot fairly be i'm.
pugned. 1t is also apparent to
the world that this nation is
absolutely free from intrigue or
double dealing i'll its relations
with other countries. 1t has no
allies, il has no secret ententes,
it is not planning one nation
against another. It stands apart
upheld by its own independence,
its free manhood, and its bound
less strength. Its will is ex-
pressed by intelligent opinion,
not by shot and SHELL. 1t has no
ambitions which clash with the
peaceful ambitions of any other
nation. 1t profits most when oths r
nations are peaceful and pros.
porous.
Americans are justly proud OF
the majestic figure of the United
States, looming up above the
worlds battle clouds, serene in
its own might, with good will
in its heart toward every nation.
Ihey are grateful to the Presi-
dent for the great and simple
dignity with which he has MAIN
tanned the time-honored rule of
JefferSon-'Peace, commerce,
aud honest friendship with all
nations, entangling alliances
with none"

Chaves is confident Of defeating

to run the risk Of being defeated by
a boy who is not SO well known as
himself. Duran, determined to defeat

GUTIERREZ WILL

thought to account in part also for
Villas hurried concentration in the
north.
ut was officially reported to the
war department that half of the Tor
reon garrison, which is enveloped by
loyal forces, has revolted against vii
la and is fighting the other half in
the name of Carranza.
Reports issued early today by the
Qarranza agency heret saying that
General Carranza had resigned and
left Mexico City, were contradicted
by dispatches to the state department
from the Brazilian minister at Mexico
City, who yesterday had conference
with Gutierrez.
The general situation, as reflected
in official dispatches. was viewed as
not altogether encouraging. Friction
is regarded as apparent between the
Zapata element and the Gutierrez
Villa faction. Thus far, however, it
has not resulted in any serious break.
The chief trouble seems to have arisen
over the question or execution and
punishment of former federals. Gu
tierrez and Villa have been in favor
of suspending the executions and Civ
ing some federals an opportunity to
join their cause. Zapata, now at
Cuernavaca, is represented as opposed
to that, as is General Palafox, min
isiter of the interior in the Gutierrez
cabinet, and chief spokesman for Ia
pata.
A compromise is being suggested
whereby former federals will be given
fair trials. They also will be prohib-
tied from joining the Gutierrez-Villa
army. The American government has
found that both Gutierrez and Villa
look with favor on it's suggestion for
a general amnesty Or political Of
tenders, but that the Zapata element
seems irreconcilably opposed to it.
The situation is expected to develop
further, at the national convention
called for January / in Mexico City,
when a new provisional president will
be chosen.
Only meager advices are in the pos
session of the state department as to
the military activity of the Carranza
forces, but latest dispatches say that
Zapata forces have advanced to Sole
dad, near Vera Cruz, and, in cooper
alton with Villa forces, are operating
in the vicinity Of Tuxpam and are
driving the Carranza troops to the
southeastern portion of Mexico.
