Department. The leader villa has &C
quired q horrible name In Europe, which
may, in an International way. do great
harm 10 his cause There Is better feel
ing about Carranza, but recent events
have tended 10 show that Carranza has
not complete control over his principal
general. Villa. And It Is equally certain
that II Carranza were to endeavor 10 es-
tablish government, with the full sup
port OF the United States, but with Villa
left out, Villa would be certain 10 start
counter revolution. AS has been pointed
out in The Tribune, there are already
many evidences that Villa and Carranza
are not getting along together.
Diplomats have made eager inquiries at
the State Department to-day as to what
might be expected, but they were told
that nothing definite would be done until
after Congress had acted
Judging by what diplomats here say and
what they have reported to their govern
ments. Europe is being Informed that
American Intervention in Mexico has at
last arrived and that there seems slight
probability that the United States VIII
stop short OF the use OF n vast force,
whether the President desires to do so or
not The diplomats. trained observers and
with special sources OF information
ranging from official news from the State
Department TO the reports OF their own
agents In Mexico, consider that the Pres
ident cannot now avoid going the whole
distance and completely settling the
Mexican imbroglio
They believe that this involves the use
of American armed forces in Mexico. They
also consider that the task Is big ana
will take n long time. Even II the Con-
stitutionallsts enter Mexico City they con-
slider that this will mean only the be-
ginning OF new crisis. The solution OF
the problem. in their minds. is an Ameri-
can occupation OF Mexico. tho holding of
an election under American supervision
and then the gradual withdrawal of
American troops.
Villa a Stumbling Block.
II Is certain that such countries as
England and Spain will have vital obJec-
tiors TO any government In Mexico city
with which Villa, who killed Benton and
drove the Spanards from North Mexico
is connected. Both these countries would
undoubtedly withhold recognition until
their demands for satisfaction have oeen
met in cases OF damaging the property OF
their nationals or the killing OF their sub
jects.
