VILLA SAYS WAR
AT END IN MEXICO
THE NORTHERN CHIEF INFORMS
WASHINGTON WAR IN MEX
ICo is OVER.
DON'T RECOGNIZE CARRAkzA
Declares First Chief as Provisional
President Is lmpossibIe-Sure Dele
oates viii Not Choose Him.

Washington.-Gen villa has in
formed the United States government
that unless something unforeseen oc
cur4. hostnities in Mexico are at al
end and that he viii support any pro
visional government set up by the ma
tioual convention at Aguascalientes.
Villa said he would not accept Car
rama as provisional president. but
was satisfied he would not be chosen
The general understanding on al
sides has been that Carranza himself
does not desire TO be provisional presi
dent but wants to be free to enter
the presidential race in the succeed
ing election
Latest official reports to the state
department describe in detail the visit
last Saturday of General villa to the
convention at Aguascalientes. When
the commander of the division of the
north arrived suspicious were awak
ened as to his purpose, but when he
addressed the convention all doubt
was removed. General Villa said he
came to pledge his support to the acts
of the convention and to take the oath
that he wanted to go on record so that
no one could ever say that he was un-
patriotic He was received with
storms of applause.
Later Villa embraced General Obre-
gon, over whom Villas break with
Carranza occurred recently. AS the
two generals greeted each other eff
fusively the convention went wild
with joy. General Villareal. chair
man of the convention, made a
speech, saying the country owed a
debt of gratitude to General Villas
military achievements, but that they
were as nothing compared with his
patriotism. Then General Villa wrote
his name on the Mexican flag, as did
all the other delegates, and kissed the
banner. pledging again amid a storm
of applause. to abide by the decisions
of the convention. Villa departed
soon after for Guadalupe, saying he
did not desire his presence in Aguas-
calientes to be misinterpreted.
To American Consular Agent
Carothers, who accompanied him.
General villa stated emphatically he
would support any choice Of the con-
vention except Carranza and that he
thought permanent peace in Mexico
was now in sight. Mr.. Carothers re-
ported that the fighting generals
visit had produced a 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has withdrawn his original demand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 preva-
lent belief here is that General An
tonic Villareal will be selected.
The convention is awaiting the ar
rival of delegates from General Ia
pata. II is reported the southern
chief himself may attend the assem-
bly,.

Naco, Ariz.-Two hundred and fifty
Mexicans wounded during the attack
on Naco. Sonora, were brought to
Naco Sunday through special permits
sion from the Washington govern
ment The CarranZa government had
promised they will be attended with
out expenses to the American state
or national government.
This action came as a result of an
appeal made through Governor Hunt,
in which It was asserted that If the
Mexican town was taken by Govern
or Maytorenas Indians the wounded
would be killed.
Only forty-seven patients were al
lowed to remain, the permission for
their reception covering only those
seriously wounded. One of those re-
ceived died late Sunday. His body
was returned to Naco, Sonora, for
burial.
II was planned to send the wound
hospital facilities, but so far author
ity to do this has not been given.
Both sides during prolonged battle
have been threatening to execute the
wounded.
Several times the hospitals which
bore the Red Cross flag have been
struck by pieces of shells.
The Mexican soldiers presented a
pitiful appearance. Their wounds
were unusually serious, since both
sides have been using soft nose bull
let's.

Another Cruiser Lost to England.

the British navy of the cruiser Hawke

warships sunk by the Germans to
seven. To this must be added the
virtual destruction of the cruiser Pc

under command of Captain Hugh Will

gunner saved the Hawkes. sister ship.
