PEACE PLANS

South American Me diators Slow in
Reaching q Settlement Between

Wants Too Much

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 29.-The Mexican
situation apparently resolved itself into diplomatic
puzzle today. The three South American mediators
in constant conference at the Argentine legation
They admitted privately today that the task is
nearly impossible one, but declared that they had
hopes of accomplishing it, Long messages were ex-
changed between the mediators and Provisional
President Huerta. Spanish Ambassador RianO, act
ing for Huerta, had frequent interviews with Secre
tary Bryan.
Concerning the actual developments Of the Next
can situation, the interested parties densely
silent. President Wilson. Secretary Bryan and Sec
retary Daniels we're outwardly optimistic.
Secretaries Garrison Lane and Burleson did not
try to hide their pessimsm 1t is understood that
they believed that while peace negotiations were in
progress Huerta doing his utmost to consolidate
the various Mexican factions. Brazilian Ambassa-
dor De CANA was said to have taken gloomy view
of the situation, but he is unquestonaby doing his
best with his colleagues in the interest of peace
1t leaked out that Hlctra wants an international
court of arbitration witt half of it's members of his
own selection. Wilson, it is said would not consider
such proposition, since it would amount virtually
to recognizing the dictator.

How Villa Became a Victorious
General.

With six companions he crossed
into Mexico. In week he had
100 men under him. In a month
he had 500. Then the dispatches
in American papers began to tell
about him-about his raids In
northern Mexico and his defeat OF
detachments of federal troops.
Presently, rallying about him a
great number of rebels in addi-
tion to his troop of raiders, he
began a series of open and con-
certed attacks. He was uniform
ly successful. Since his interjec-
tion of himself in Mexican affairs
he has come to be known as a
great general-not trained
fighter, 1t seems, but a natural
one, and one who gains the loyalty
of his men.
His first conspicuous success
was the capture of JuareZ. II was
conspicuous because Juarez is
across the river from Eel !, Paso,
Texas. 'sf
Quickly arranging the orderly ad-
ministration of Juarez as a rebel
city, he gathered his soldiers to-
gether and fell like a thunderbolt
on superior force of federals
who were leisurely coming up to
Juarez to hang him, and utterly
routed them at La Mesa. ~
Before they could rally he
marched straight for Chihuahua,
In their rear, and took this most
important city and state capital Of
northern Mexico.
He was quick as a cat, and his
rapid movements dismayed the
slow-going federals. They re-
treated across a desert to the city
of Ojinaga, on the Rio Grande.
Villa sent a subordinate to beat
them. The subordinate tonight
the federals for week, but failed.
Villa hurried to the spot and de-
feated them in an afternoon and
an evening, utterly dispensing, an
army of 5000, commanded by five
of Huerta's leading generals.
After Ojinaga came TorrSon,
and now :.
What will Villa tackle next?

Villas Daring Life as a Bandit
A moment later a shot rang
out. The offending magistrate,
new husband, fell dead.
Villa ordered the priest to take
his sister home. He galloped off
into the darkness. His career as
a bandit began.
For IA years after that nights
horror villa was a hunted man.
He roamed the mountains and
desert, pursued by Diaz' relentless
rurales. He had many narrow
escapes. He fought them back
fiercely and was often wounded,
but he always got away.
Even then he was hero among
the poems. They gave him shelter
and food when they could.
When it was too dangerous to
live under a roof, he made his
home in the mountain caves.
When he dared not appear where
food was plentiful, he stole it.
When he needed money, he held
up people who had it. When he
needed meat, he ran off a steer.
And so the years passed until
the Madero rebellion began. Villa
wanted to be a rebel, and he did
take some part in the first revolu-
ton. Once he was captured and
was in Jail for time while Ma
dero was president. Somehow
he escaped.
But his fame as a leader and
general has all come within the
past year. He was in FL Paso
when Huerta became dictator, and
he determined to take the field
as a guerilla chieftain against the
usurping president.

OF course the Villa girls were pop

ranchers, who sought them as
company on long gallops over the
roads through the woods adjoin-
ing Torreon.
There was certain young
magistrate in Torreon whom VII.

to "Pancho" that this magistrate
was seen ogling MS elder sister
Later Villa detected the pair in a
clandestine meeting. In rage
he ordered his sister home and
threatened the young magistrate
with death should he dare set
foot on Villa property again
That night, upon his arrival at the
ranch house, Young "Pancho'
commanded his sister to cease heI
friendship with the magistrate.
THE WILLIAM APPEARS
IN VILLAS LIFE.
The senorita'a eyes filled with
tears. She had become infatuat-
ed with the wealthy young man.
At the morning meal next day
the elder sister was missing. A
search of the mousse failed to re-
veal her. "Pancho" was worried.
He discovered, then, that the
young magistrate, too, had dis

himself for pursuit.

church. The priest obeyed.
In silence they rode off into the
hills, where Villa was confident
his sister and the young magis-

nightfall they struck the clippers

darkness, "Panclo" and the
priest came upon the couple in a
camp they had pitched in shell
tered nook.

his revolver. 1t was dramatic

AN AMAZING WEDDING;
THE MURDER.
There in the dark of night, in
the hills high above Torreon, the
marriage was solemnized. II was
a marriage accompanied by no
words of congratulatlon, no

minutes from the time Francesca
