mand that the United States protect
all nationals. This was forecasted
in Sir Lionel Gardens advice to all
British women and children to leave
Mexico To such a demand the
United States must respond with its
entire military power, as with the
solidarity Of the Constitutionalists
gone, anarchy must inevitably reign.
Rafael Zubaran, principal agent Of the
reyolutionaries, is in New York today.
His mission was said to be for the pur-
pose Of comforting with agents Of Car
rama there and to receive certain con-
fidential messages sent there for him.
These messages, it was reported here
deal with the invitation Of the media
tors to Carranza to hold unofficial con-
ferences with the Huertista delegates,
but all information about them was re-
fused at junta headquarters. Luis Ca
brera, Zubaran's associate, said today
he expected to 90 to New York today or
tomorrow, but denied that any word
had yet been received from Carranza de-
fining his position on the peace confer
ence invitation.
It is considered absolutely certain here
that if Carranza has not accepted con
ditionally the invitation to meet with
the Huertista ENJOYS in unofficial con-
ferences by the middle of the week,
the mediators win wash their hands
of the whole matter. They viii adjourn
further conferences indefinitely and re-
sumo their regular duties, meanwhile
waiting developments in Northern Mex
ico. The pressure Of their fellow Latin
American representatives here is having
its effect and they are said to be inelin-
ed to put all further moves up to the
State Department here, meanwhile re-
iterating their readiness to "do every
thing in their power" to restore peace in
Mexico.

vILLA RETuRNs TO TORREON.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, June 80. The
Constitutionalist junta today receiv-
ed confirmation of Villas retirement
with his entire army from the front
and his apparent abandonment of the
campaign towards Mexico City. The
reports stated that Villa had reached
as far south as Aguas Calientes be-
fore he made his unexpected decision
to turn back to Torreon.
Villas action has been explained
by some being due to lack of ammu-
milton. 1t was reported that Carran-
"a had cut off his supplies since the
split in order to demonstrate to
Villa his power.
Villas friends here denied, how
ever, that Villas ammunition was ex-
hausted They declared that while
he did not have as much as he want
ed, he did have enough to continue
his campaign if he had wished. There
was a tendency on the part of the
Villa faction in the junta here to re-
gard his movement as an indication
of a determination to return and
force a Showdown" with Carranza
before pushing on to Mexico City.
