Washington, May An uprising in

dicted by Senator Robert L. Owen
chairman OF the banking and currency
committee who is often a: the White
House and who is keeping in close
Senator Owen is preparing for a
speech in the senate in a short time
IN which ne will take the broad ground
that deposing Of Huerta alone does not
justify armed interference by this
country in the affairs Of Mexico nor
the flag incident nor any minor con-
troversy
"On the broad ground that 100000
people are deprived of a constitutional
government we are justified in using
force for the purpose Of restoring them
their rights" said Senator Owen. The
mere elimination Of Huerta will not
suffice. The people of Mexico are en-
titled to constitutional government"

against Huerta in his own capital and
that he Will be driven out" said Sena-
tor Owen.
Clash Among Rebels Imminent.
Making due allowance for the re-
ported break between Carranza and
Villa. II is apparent that they are not
a Yn H.
sued with respect TO the United States
Villa is willing to go farther than Car
rama in maintaining good relations
between the constitutionalists and this
country and it appears there Is fac
ton about Carranza. in which General
Herrara is prominent. which is anxious
to see the constitutionalists take
defiant attitude toward America
While IL is believed Carranza will
not permit the hothead,s to influence
him unduiy and that he will keep on
good terms with Villa, there is un.
doubtedly the possibility OF a grave
clash among the constitutionalist fac
.tions. Not only would this be unfor-
tunate for the constitutionalist cause
but 1t would menace the plan Of media.
ton at the very outset.
Once 1t clearly appears that not only
Huerta but a large element OF the
constitutionalis:s are getting ready to
make war on the United States, there
is not likely to be much prolongetion
Of the peace parleys. The United
States. altho Huerta refuses to get
out. can afford to play for time II 1t
sees the constitutionalists united,
friendly to this country, and steadily
winning \ victories and weakening
Huerta's power
Consequently. the developments
among the leading rebel figures now
rank in Importance with those In the
Huerta camp.
Keep Eyes on Angeles.
Should there be a breach between
Carranza and Villa. II will be well to
keep an eye Of Gen Felipe Angeles.
Nobody hardly knows who Angeles Is
in this country. But he Is a power
in the constitutionalist camp. He rs
man Of As or 80. highly trained soldier
a graduate Of Chapultepec. and the
chief Of staff and close adviser OF Villa.
He Is go far from the uneducated type
of Villa that he is highly educated.
polished. able and, withal, modest. man.
He is one of the few Mexican soldiers
who Is regarded as scrupuiously honest.
He is stranger to grating and is be-
loved and trusted by the army. Angeles
Is the man whom Villa is likely to put
10 the front for president II CarranZa
"biows up" and turns over to the
Huerta crowd and other hotheads. 1t
Is doubtful whether Villa. who after
ali has keen sense of the fitness Of
things. VIII seek the presidency HIM
self. though many people credit him
with such an ambition.
Angeles Wants Peace.
Angeles. though q soldier. is man
OF peace He wants order in Mexico.
He was loyal to Madero and had
Nadero taken his advice he would be
alive today In the outbreak Of the
revolt in Mexico City that ended with
/ his arrest. Madero sent for Angeles
and asked him what to do. Angeles
looked the ground over and said:
Give me 1000 troops and three bat
teries and I'll settle this thing and
take Chapultepec in sixty minutes.
Madero thought 1t over and said no.
that he didn't want to offend Huerta
or seem not to trust him. That spelled
the doom Of Madero.
| Angeles is the man who has planned
the campaigning in northern Mexico.
/ He is the man who saw the equipment
/ He is the man who saw to equipment
wha. Robert E. Lee was to Scott. He
/ ID big factor already and Is likely
| to be bigger one, either in the event
the constitutionalists keep on united
and advancing or if there Is an actual
break between villa and CarranZe.
