q 10 also a fact that Villa, by MAKING

- tho Constitutionalists as party OF
"o,o,,ont " has greatly embarrassed the
administration. Furthermore
don't Wilson has always persisted IN lhe
he,,ef that the Constitutionalists STOOD
for O cause for certain principles OF re-
form. and has rejected with emphasis
and even Indignation the suggestion
mat they were actuated exclusively or
even primarily by personal pol'icai
ambition.
Pave Way to compel Villa
II. therefore, the Carranzistas coulu
no ,nduced TO accept the plan OF medi-
stion and to agree upon man Tor pro-
visional President who would DE ac-
oo,.oh1e IN the Mexican delegates the
President might be able to point 10 'he

nroval and with that Of those VINO

even if Villa did not accept theIn' anu

- Drac{6ept himself,
lccree that Carranza shall be
he civil head under the Con-
tuu.onalist regime means practicaH'
Tho avnuIsion of Carranza from power
because there is nothing civil ABOUT the
Constitutionalist control 1t Is at th's
time purely military, and as head Oh
the civil Constitutionalist government
corranza would be about as potent as
the mayor Of cit. under martial law
For this reason, too an armistice pro-
rosed by the Carranzistas would DC
,ittle short Of a farce, and that might
prevent the admission of the CarranZd
delegates to the mediation conference
Rut the fact remains that Carranza
has ALL along been recognized by the
limited States as the head of the Con-
stitutionalist regime and as competent
n speax with authority regarding Con-
stitutionalist affairs and policies.
Wilson Sure Of Villa.
on the other hand, there are those
who believe thai the President is
counting on the greater amenability to
reason of Villa to procure his participa-
ton In the mediation conference under
An armistice or his approval OF the
completed plan of pacifcation without
such participation. or, in the. last ex-
tremity, to give certain guarantees CT
protection TO life and property in con-
nection with the appointment of the
Constitutionalist President, including
safe conduct of Huerta himself to The
frontier, which might so far appeal TO
the Mexican delegates as to induce
them =. accept a Constitutionalist pro-
visional President.
That Villa victorious would execute
Huerta and loot Mexico City is the
conviction Of the Mexican delegates,
and also that he would attempt imme-
diately TO confisca' property and d.
vide il among his followers, and they
fear that any Constitutionalist pro-
visional President ould pursue the
same course. But it night be possible
TO find some such Constitutionalist as,
for instance, Corvorrubias or Luis Ca
brera, no coul" h" united on to give
a fair administration, especially if fort
flied by specific pledges to the United
states.
Mediators Still in Dark.
The fact is that the mediators them
selves do not knoW.-and will not know
