Washington, Oct. 20--Gen Villa has
informed the United States govern
ment that unless something unfor-
seen occurs. hostilities in Mexico are
at an end and that he will support
any provisional government set up by
the national convention at Aguascali-
entes. Villa said he would not accept
Carranza as provisional president
but was satisfied he would not be
On all sides has been that Carranza
himself does not desire to be proyis-
ional president, wishing TO be free to
enter the presidential race in the sue
ceeding election.
The latest official reports to the
state department describe in detail
the visit Saturday of Gen Villa to
the convention at Aguascalentes.
When the commander of the division
of the north arrived suspicious were
awakened to his purpose, but when
he addressed the convention all doubt
was removed.
Gen Villa said he came to pledge
his support to the acts of the conven-
ton and TO take the oath and that he
wanted to go on record so that no
one could ever say that he was UNI
patriotic. He was received with
storms of applause. Later he en-
braced Gen. Obregon. over whom
Villas break with Carranza occurred
recently.
AS the two generals greeted each
other effusively the convention went
wild with joy. Gen Villareal, chair
man of the convention, made a speech
saying that the country owed debt
of gratitude TO Gen. Villas military
achievements, but they we're as moth
ing compared TO his patriotism Then

did not desire his presence in Aguas-

To American Consular Agent Car
others. who accompanied him, Gen.
Villa stated emphaucally that he
would support any choice of the con
vention except Carranza and that he
thought that permanent peace in Mex
leo was now in sight. Mr. Carothers
reported that the fighting Generals
visit had produced profound i'm.
preston on the delegates. Villas
statement that he would support any
man chosen is taken to mean that he
has withdrawn his original demand
that no military man be given the
provisional presidency and the pre-
yalent belief in Washington is that
that Gen. Antonio Nillareal will be
selected.
The convention is awaiting the ar

Petrograd. oct. 19-The general
staT is rapidly reinforcing the armies
in Poland in anticipation OF a new
attempt by the Germans to reach the
Nistula river and lombard Warsaw
and lyangorod.
Troop trains have been moving
westward for several days and it is
believed here Russia is sending at
least 100000 fresh troops to the battle
front. There is no official statement
rs TO the situation. but the reports
tend TO show Russia is preparing for
another general advance.
Dispatches from Warsaw say the
Germans are not expected to repeat
thei' former progress toward Warsaw
Two reasons are given. The first Is
that continuous rains make it difficult
for the Germans to support their in
tantry with artillery. The district
owe which the troops spread is fat
and marshy. There is only one rail
road over which the Germans could
transport their heavy guns. without
which an attack on Warsaw would be
futile
