Of the government that visiting postmas-
ters who come to Washington may find in
the new building some things that are
new to them.
Personally, feel deeply the honor Of
being the first postmaster to serve in this
building. I shall do what can to be
worthy of this honor
Authorities who are engaged in the final
work on the building predict that some
day there will be, a system Of under
ground mall tunnels running to the differ
ent departments. They are convinced
that the new post Office marks the be-
ginning Of an era of efficiency that will
set the pace for the nations myriad post
Offices And there is no reason why this
shouldn't be possible. when one recalls
the difficulties that have been overcome.

the United States than Villa perhaps has
known. But by his action he serves no.
tice of what he expects.
Villa in the beginning had the advan-
tage of controlling the sources of news,
and his press bureau was able to put
his coup before the world in its most
favorable light. He still has this advan-
tage to a large degree. and it is even
more marked in his ability to suppress
news of what actually takes place. es-
pecially in Chihuahua. 1t is unlikely that
any Of the Carranza officials or clerks
whom he seized have been executed, for
that would be fnexpedient But that
the faction opposed to him has been ter
rorized Is certain. and 1t Is also certain
that many of the persons who were made
prisoners will be held under military
espionage as hostages for the good be-
havior. of their friends.
A doubling world Is not likely to pay
forward by the Carranzistas and the
constitutional1sts who know the impor-
lance Of maintaining an appearance OF
unity as a means of getting the United
States to back them up in getting con-
troll Of all Mexico. The real significance
of Villas move is that it shows that ir-
reconcilable differences exist. the settle
ment of which could not be postponed.
How far Villa will now go toward put
ting Gen. Felipe Angeles forward as his
man for. provisional president will de-
pend on circumstances. Gen. CarranZa,
in his effort to maintain his claim as the
titular head Of the revolution, cannot
be blamed for displacing Gen. Angeles
as secretary of war
All the other men in Carranza's proW-
sional cabinet are loyal to him, and some
of them are not afraid of Villa These
men. however, are civilians, and have no
troops at their command. Gen. Car
rama himself has small body Of Sonora
troops, on which it is thought he can
depend, but they are as nothing compared
with the army that Villa commands.
The financial interests in the United
States which have backed the revolution
and put up the money for 1t are certain
to be pleased with Villas ascendency.
Most of them heretofore 1t is generally
assumed. have dealt directly with Villa
of arms and ammunition. 1t was one of
Villas grievances that Carranza was
going to prevent him from receiving the
ammunition discharged at Tampico.

up to this time Villa has only claimed
to be q commander Of troops.
The subsistence Of Carranza and the
ascendenoy Of villa undoubtedly will
help solve some of the perplexing prob

ers together. Villa, probably for the
only time In his life, really became
frightened, not for his personal safety,
but for fear that England would force
the United States to intervene and under-
take the protection of foreigners in
northern Mexico.
Villa removed his headquarters from
Juarez to Chihuahua, and the Carranza
government took up the task of relieving
him from responsibility for Benton's
murder. 1t is forgotten now, but i'm
mediately after the murder statement
was given out from Villas headquarters
at Juarez explaining how Benton had
been given a trial by court-martial. and
having been found guilty had been exc
cuted in accordance with military law
This seml-official version was SO exceed
ingly improbable that 1t only brought
ridicule on Villas whitewashers.
Then Carranza stepped in and def1ed
both England and the United States,
turning back the official representatives
of the two countries who were to make
an Investigation and to examine the
body of Benton. He stated that the con-
stitutionalist government would make
the necessary inquiries. Later, 1t was
unofficiafly given out that Carranza
subordinates had investigated, and nad
Chihuahua by Villa for trial, but had
been taken from the train en- route and
executed by one Maj. Fferro, who would
be punished for his act, but even this
statement never was officially made
Fierro was Villas closest friend.
The British foreign minister, LORD
Grey. told parliament that England
does not forget Benton" The United
States apparently did forget him, as 1t
forgot Gustave Bauch and other
American citizens who were undoubt-
edly murdered by Villas men. for the
incident was allowed to drop out OF
the oGcial mind. and. to some extent
out of the public mind.
The full history of Benton's murder.
and the degree to which Villa was re-
sponsible for it, some day will be re-
vived but the point Is that by not
holding Villa to accountability at the
time he was able to go forward with
his military movements, and achieve
the victories which have added so i'm
mensely to his prestige. villa was very
grateful to Carranza for smoothing the
incident, over and there were many
manifestations of mutual good feeling
between him and Carranza. Their re-
spective followers. however. did not
become very cordial to one another.
and Villas neutenants were soon talk
ing of deposing Carranza.
Then came the seizure OF Vera cruz
by the American navy and the landing
of American marines. which called
forth Carranza's note to President Will
son. inviting the President OF the
United States to withdraw them. VIVA.

mand that Carranza take the stand he
did There Is not the shadow Of q

on entering the new municipal building,
to discover what improvements few
years have made. Either the acoustics
are better in the new post office or the
compolite flooring has worked a great
change. 49,
The private offices are arranged with a
view to preventing any of the scurrying
and confusion which could be found oc-
casionally in the old, overcrowded quar-
tiers. A system of telephones is to be
installed which will enable any employe
in the building to communicate with any
other employe without the medium Of
the regular operator. Thus telephone calls
on the business of the office will not
interfere with calls going out or coming
into the building.
Postmaster Otto Praeger has a sort
of can-this-be-true?" look in his eyes
every time he pays visit to his new
Offices. They are magnificent. In order
that the postmaster may not be incom-

toric old mill, with water wheel and
dam, which was buried far below the
new building.
Then the work of construction began.
The steel giYders, of the type which
go into skyscrapers. were put up first.
Great care was shown in their ar
rangement by the builders, as the CEN
trail part of the first floor was to be a
wide, barnlike space. where the mail
would be handled. A terrific strain
would have to be borne by the sup
ports. One hundred and fifteen thou
sand cubic feet of granite and 5000
tons of steel went into the shell OF
the building. The stone was the wide
ly known Bethel granite from Vermont,
and 1t is possessed of finish so sort
that it appears to be marble.
When this was completed the work OF
characterization began. The builders stat
ed that the post Office was designed after
the classic Roman style, with Ionic pill
lars and a prevailing design Of honey
suckle, used in the fresco work. 1t Is
