Villas determined stand for friend

to real good feeling for Americans, but
this friend of Villas thinks it just as
likely to spring from the fact that
Villa is financially interested in the
success of a lot of Villa motion pic

the United States.
Probably his greatest single source
of income for several years-if all goes
well-will be the proceeds of his mo-
ton picture posings. He IL to get q
large sum of money for his work in
that direction, as the president Of a
film company gave him a partnership
in the enterprise.
Villa has posed and has had his
troops pose In all sorts of scenes of
war, has had the camera men at his
side in the fiercest fighting about Tor
reon and has given them every chance
to get pictures of real war.

With the acceptance of both govern
ments now definitely before them, the
three ENJOYS occupied a semi-media-
tory attitude almost in the nature of
an international tribunal, considering
the attitude and desires of each side
and seeking to find some middle
ground on which both could stand.
The sessions are all private and sur
rounded by every safeguard against
premature discussion of plans. 1t was
known, however. that the chief effort
of today was to try to perfect a plan
on which they have been working ever
since their tender of good offices was
made. This will be laid before the
two governments at the earliest posi-
BILE moment.
The ENJOYS have acquainted them
selves as far as circumstances permit
ted with the viewpoint of both Sides
without calling for any formal de-
claration from either side as to what
it might or might not accept the idea
being to seek a middle course, which
will il possible avoid an impasse by
the formal submission of condition.

they feel that their first positive move

acceptable to 10Th governments.
