Diverse Views Over Trade Pact.

Bitter controversies that for years have

why they had been unable to MAINTAIN %
trade agreement Each side thought tn
other was to blame.
John p Frey of Cincinnati. editor "t

effort to break up the molders union. lie
said his organization had been on friend

Founders National defense ASSOCIATION
under the same kind of an agreement
which he said it had been impossible I"
maintain with the founders association
| Mr.. Frey opposed any system OF arpi
tration involving the calling IN OF an out
side referee to settle differences between
EMPLOYERS and workers. He thought en1-
ployes were helpless without COLLECTIVE
bargaining. but favored any effort to eN
tend mediation and conciliation to indus

Hope to Settle Controversy.

president of the founders association.
took the stand to reply to Mr.. Ere

speech has told the Spaniards of Torreon

that a commission would be appointed to

the fact that they have rendered no aid

Protection for Spaniards.
The United States has undertaken to
extend to Spaniards in Mexico the same
protection it affords Americans resident
there. and Ambassador Riano has been
assured that nothing will be left undone
to assure for the unfortunates at Tor
reon every right to which they are en-
titled under international law and usage
That Spain proposes to exhaust every
resource to protect her people in the revo-
lution-torn republic was made plain when
Rear Admiral Mayo. at Tampico. cabled
the Navy Department that the command
ing officer of the British cruiser Hermoine
had been instructed to care for Spaniards
at this besieged federal port.
Heretofore Spain has looked to the
United States to protect her subjects
and interests, and she is still doing so in
northern Mexico, where the United States
is the only power that is represented by
a number of consular offices in rebel ter
ritory. But at Tampico other powers. in
Guiding Great Britain and Germany. have
warships stationed. The fact that Spain
on the first opportunity has had to get
aid from other nations than the United
States is believed to be significant.
Gravity Is Increased.
increased by unofficial but credible in
formation that this policy Of expulsion of
the Spaniards is to be of general applica-
ton: that as rapidly as the constitution
alists by force of arms extend their con-
troll over such cities as saltillo and Mon
terey and other places now within the
federal line. they intend to drive out the
Spaniards and seize their property.
An attempt to carry out such plan
would meet with determined opposition
from the United States government Of
ficials say the Spaniards are in Mexico
under the provisions of treaty con-
ferring the right of residence, trade and
travel and anything like a sweeping de-
portation under these circumstances would
be a violation of the principles of inter-
national law and would form a proper
subject of resentment by the Spanish
government even to the extent of hostile
measures il need be.
Foresees Complications.
Foreseeing the gravest international
complications if the constitutonalists
should undertake to apply this doctrine
of wholesale expulsion of aliens to other
than Spaniards, the State Department
is expected to lay this subject before
Gen. Carranza so plainly that he will
exercise his full power to prevent fur
ther interference with all foreigners.
Confirmation Of reports of serious fight
ing in the neighborhood of Tampco has
reached the Navy Department in mes
sages from Admiral Mayo. forwarded by
Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz. Admiral
Fletcher has ordered the battleshp
Utah from Vera Cruz to Tampico to re-
inforce the formidable American naval
force at that port. The battleships Con-
necticut and Minnesota and the cruisers
Des Moines. Chester. San Francisco and
the dispatch boat Dolphin already are
there.

Rout of the Villa Forces
and End of the Revolution
Predicted by H. L. Wilson

| Rout Of Gen. Villa, end of the revolution
| in Mexico, breaking up Of the rebel army
| into bands OF guerrllas and constant
activity against them by the IIuerta
| regime. as was done during the Diaz in
cumbency, Henry Lane Wilson. former
United States ambassador to Mexico, pre-
dicted last night when interviewed at
the Shoreham.
That Gen. Villa has been caught in a
trap at Torreon- and that his army of
| 1900 will soon be dispersed is, in Mr.
Wilson's opinion. the truth that lies be-
hind the lack of definite news from Tor
! reon and the contradictory dispatches
| that have been received here regarding
| the warfare in that locality.
II have seen no news to confirm the in
spired dispatches that Gen. Villa had
sent out from Gomez Palacio claiming
that he was in undisputed possession of
Torreon." said Mr.. Wilson.
Thinks Torreon Is Mined.
censored, but our own good judgment
| hood of truth in the dispatches which
admit that velasco retired from Torreon,
circled around to San Pedro, where he
| Is in a more advantageous position, and
| in the more recent messages that Gen.
Villa is threatened at Torreon.
"It is my firm belief that Gen. Velasco
mined Torreon before he abandoned the
city. The dispatches which state that
none of Gen. Villas forces entered the
city until after Velasco had evacuated
seem to confirm this. 1 believe that
Velasco retired in good order and that
we will soon hear startling news from
| Torreon; that Gen. Villa will be annihi-
lated and the city destroyed.
velasco Strongly Reinforced.
"Velasco was reinforced at San Pedro
by a large army Of fresh troops. and his
forces now doubtless number close to
1900, while the army of Villa has been
| so decimated by losses that it will be
hardly half Of the 1000 with which he
started to Torreon. Villas end is in
sight. He will never reach Mexico City
nor Monterey. Then the situation will be
one of constant activity against the ban
dts. lust as it was after the Diaz revo-
luton and during the DiaZ regime. Ia
pata is bottled up in the mountains of
| the south, and there can be no danger
from that source 1t looks very much
as il the end of the revolution in Mexico
| is in sight.
