1t was evident, from all indications

Dealing with him has been much more
satisfactory than trying to deal with
Carranza. When no satisfaction could
be had from Carranza, an appeal To
Villa generally brought results.
Carranza has been not only obstin.
ate and croChetty, but has maintain
ed principle Of action which has
been extremely inconyenient TO Wash
ington. This principle was that the
United States Was dealing with q
genuine constitutional government,
and must deal on the basis of inter
national relations. Villa. on the con-
trary, has not concerned himself with
theories Of fiction of this kind he
has felt the necessity Of eonciliating
public opinion in the United States.
and OF eultiyatiug the good will of
the American people. That he has
no real friendship for the United
States, or for the American people,
does not affect the main question,
which is to find some one in authority
in the part of Mexico controlled by
the constitutioDalists with whom the
United States can deal.
How far Villa had pledged himself
to acquiesee in the plan OF having the
Mexican factions settle their differ
ences outside of the mediation confer
ence is likely TO be disclosed soon.
This disclosure may also determine
whether there is any possibility of
Villa and Carranza maintaining the
fictiep that there are only small dill
ferences between them to be adjust.

Foreigners, who are concerned
chiefly with the protection of life and

remnants of their investments in Mex

the complete control of the country
by Villa. They know ii will be mill

these men represent the aspirations
for civil government as opposed to
a military oligarchy. What little of
encouragement the revolution has
given to the spread of democratic
institutions in Mexico is due to them.

as now seems likely. the germ of de-
mocratic institutions is also submerg-
ed. The only comforting result to
be seen from the success of the revo-
luton is that the land question,
which is an economic question, has
been put in a way to be settled.

KNG ATTACKS AN1IcPA ES RACE FOR PAR

of English politics." To point his ar
gument, Mr.. Kipling takes leaf out
of his Indian experience. He quotes
a young murderer who once said to
him from his cell which Mr.. Kip,
ling visited as a newspaper reporter:
Take ii from me that, when chap
starts crooked, one thing leads to an
other till he finds himself in such a
position that he has to put somebody
out of the way to get straight again. |"
This is the crime that he now charges
to the British cabinet, finding Mr..
Asqufth and his fellows guilty of most
of the crimes on the statute-books
AS the Manchester Guardian reports
Mr.. Kipling, he declared that while
the meanest sneak-thief will take
chances against society, the House
Of Commons takes none. The Parlia-
ment Act prevents the possibility OF
any interference on the part OF cleo
tors from outside, and the payment
of members prevents the possibility
of any revolt on the part of members
inside the House. Mr.. Kipling de.
clares that the Liberal majority was
not big enough to make them indie
pendent of the Irish Nationalist vote.
'If that vote was not bought, the
Cabinet would lose their salaries as
well as the chance of supplementing
those salaries, and the private mem,
bers would lose a very comfortable
income. So the Irish Nationalist
vote was bought by means of the
Home Rule Bill" Mr.. Kipling begins
with his bitter fling at the Irish, and
goes on with an assault on the gov
eminent that is almost unparalleled
in British politics. These are his
words:
81 do not for one instant blame the.
Nationalist. They are what they are
They are what their type of race has
always been since the beginning of
recorded history. They have done
nothing. and so far as in them lay
they have suffered nothing to be done,

been high and thoroughly under
stood by his intimate friends So long
as the president was working upon a
definite legislative program ne did
not care to be put in the position of
having this program influenced in the
slightest degree by representations
from men of big business. These rep
reservations were welcomed by let
ter, the same as the representations
of the man in the humblest walk OF
life. Holding aloof from the huge
powers of the business world, the
president has been able to go forward
with his extensive legislative pro-
gram for sixteen months without the
intimatien from his enemies OF being
influenced in his work.
Although keeping in touch, through
the newspapers and intimate personal
friends. with their views of legisla-
ton, these views were not presented
through interviews solicited from the
White House, and there is now no
one who can charge that the source
of single legislative inspiration has
been from Wall street or big bust
ness centers.

How far Villa will now go toward

Carranza. in his effort to maintain his
claim as the titular head of the reYolu-
tion. cannot be blamed for displacing
General Angeles as secretary of war
All the other men in Carranza's pro-
visional 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.
CarranZa himself has a small body of
Sonora troops on which 1t is thought
he can depend. but they are as nothing
compared with the army Villa com
mands.

cendancy. Most of them heretofore.
it is generally assumed, have dealt
directly with Villa in supplying the
money for the purchase Of arms and
ammunition, 1t was one of Villas
grievances that Carranza was going
to prevent him from receiving the am.
munition discharged at Tampico,
though it had been bought by his
money. Most of the purchases in the
United States have been for the direct
account Of villa. At the same time,
financial transactions have been neces-
sary with the recognized agents of
Carranza. If the future should dis
close that loans have been fioated
they would likely appear as loans to
the Constitutionalist government and
not to Villa. because up to this time
Villa has only claimed to be com
mander of troops.

On the face of affairs, having sup

against the Huerta faction, a question
would seem to arise when it comes to
determining which fraction of faction
to recognize. But the United States,
or the Washington administration, all
along has recognized Villa as the do
minating force in the revolution.

cuate the city. Gen. Triana, who was
killed in the repRlse which Natera'S
troops suffered, told me at Durango
that they would have hard fighting
tut other officers did not seem t
share his opinion.
None of Villas friends, or even
those who knew him, but were not
his friends, supposed for a moment
that he would fail to resent Carranza' s
action in seeking to eliminate him
from the Zacatecas campaign. They
also felt sure that when the city was
taken il would be taken by Villa
In the meantime they waited deveI
opments.
The developments came swiftly
enough, yet they were the outcome
of Villas matured plans. He moved
with characteristic caution. but when
he was ready he acted with his usual
swiftness. The coup by which the
Carranza officials and the clerical
force at Juarez were seized was like
one of his military movements.
Villa is likely to have had two pur.
poses in the course he took.
One was the very practical object
CT putting his own people in posses
sion of the offices of every kind; His
earlier action in turning out the Car,
rama officials in the state of Chihua,
hua had related very largely to state
positions. His displacing even the
clerks and telegraph operators at Jua
rez meant that he proposed to have
under his own charge all the Offices
and clerical forces of the constitu
tional government, including the Gus.
toms. The customs collections are
sources of profit. ~..
The seizure of the CarranZa con.
stitutionalist currency, said to have
amounted to $1,000,U00. was another
evidence of his practical turn of mind
This fiat money, whether it is the so,
called Villa currency of the state of
Chihuahua or the constituencies
currency of the Carranza government,

leo. The troops are paid in it, and
ordinary business transactions are
based on it. With the funds all in
control of Villa his power is immense.
ly increased. .s< .a
Villas second purpose, or perhaps
in his mind his first, was to let the
world know that he, and not Carranza
is the real head of the revolution.
There has been less doubt about this
in Europe and the United States than
Villa perhaps has known. But by
his action he serves notice of what
he expects. r..
Villa in the beginning had the adj
vantage of controlling the sources OF
news, and his press bureau was able 70
put his coup before the world in its
most favorable light. He still has
this advantage to a large degree, and
it is even more marked in his ability
to suppress news of what actually
takes place, especially in Chihuahua.
1t is unlikely that any of the Carranza
or clerks whom he seized have
been executed, for that would be mex
pedient. But that the faction opposed
