BRYAN is HOPEFUL
TODAY OF EARLY Peace
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-"Media- 8.
ton is progressing satisfactorily"
Secretary Bryan stated today upon
arriving at his Office.
Inasmuch as the secretary has char
acterized the situation in direct quo
tation on only one other day since
the Niagara Falls proceedings start
ed, his utterance today was interpret
ed as showing an extremely optimis-
tic attitude on the administrations
part. The secretary was believed to
have exclusive information, aside
from the reassuring published state
ments from Niagara Falls to strength
en- his recent belief that mediation
cannot fail. NJ
While Carranzas part in mediation
Is still undecided, the secretary today
was manifestly hopeful that this sub
iect will be smoothed out. He would
not discuss the matter directly but
his attitude indicated plainly that an
adjustment is in sight.

Residents of the Brandywine
Springs school district have a knotty
problem to solve. The school Is too
small to accommodate the number of
children in the district. While Miss
Mary Stelle has brought the school up
to a high standard. yet the number Of
children is increasing steadily and the
present building must be enlarged or
new school built at the Cedars.
There are over sixty children now in
attendance. AS the annual election
takes place on Saturday, all taxpayers
are expected to turn out and vote on
the question of the new school.

Why Not Villa:

1T is quite possible that there is a Mexican
i who is better fitted to lead that un-
fortunate country out OF chaos into order
than is General Villa, but day by day it APP
pears to grow clearer that that man will not
come to the surface until armed strife has
ceased for some time. Villa has shown the
only real capacity leader of men that
has come to light i'll Mexico since the fall of
Diaz His armies do not dsintegrate as do
those Of the other leaders; they are the only
forces that appear TO be efficiently equipped
and led.
1t is something more than possible that
the Mexican soldiers are the pick Of the Next
can people They are doubtless as uncouth
and as untaught is Villa himself But
.be large majority of the Mexican people are
also in that condition, while the men that
follow villa at least have proven that they
have some fxity of purpose. quality that is
not too common among Mexican poems
They have followed him for n long time now
they have won continuous successes under
him. Is il preposterous TO believe that if
the mass OF the Mexican people could cast
their ballots freely for President the ma
jorily would cast them for "Pancho" Villa?
Nor is it at all certain that their choice
would be bad one. Villa may not have the
