EXPECT VILLA 10 OUT
 PEACE IS REACHED
Carranza Party, It Is Believed, May Be Kept Out of
 Capital.
Generally Admitted That Huer- ia Cannot Stop Advance
 of Rebels.

Niagara Falls, May 21-The opinion is growing among Mexican delegates to, the mediation conference here that the savaEeSadvance of the army ura-s der General Villa. inevitably must have 3. bearing upon the settlement of the dif7culties between the United States and Huerta's party. When the South American mediators withdrew the invitation they had extended to General Carranza to send delegates to Niagara Falls because of the refusal of the onstitutionaIfst leader to agree to an armistfce to continue during the sessions. it was stated that the confer ence would proceed to consid ration of questions growing out of the Tam pico incident and sl1bsequent causes of irritation betw cen the Mexican federal army and the American military forces.
 Oh1ciaI reports coming yesterday, from constitutfonalist sources report Ing the victories of Villa and his army in the SaltiIIo campaign have con- vinced the Mexican representative here that Huertass foes cannot be stopped.
 If villa and his forces are kept out of Mextco City, according to belief here, 1t will not be because Huerta is strong enough to deny entrance to his enemies. Such an advent can be avoided, it IS said by speedy so1ution of the problem confronting the A. B.a c. m ediatol's and few believe this to be possible except through the prompt and complete equalization of Huertas to all of the demands of the Wash 1ngton government.
 With a so1utioneof this problem and tho republics of Central and South Aanerica in accord Concerning the fu-# ture policy Of Mexico, the 1nedIators believe that Carranza, Villa and their 5associates would subscribe to their findings and bIoodshed would end.

 In Sydney street. Chelsea, England, people are living rent free But this is not the only place so distingu guished. When the lease of a house In parts of England is running out the owner sometimes finds it more economical to abandon his property and avoid paying the ground landlord $500 or so on what are termed dilapidations. Meanwhile the tenant lives happily without a land lord. Some houses are forsaken even when the leases are not expiring. Here the explanation is that the owners are mortgaged up to the extreme limit If tax rates go up and rents go down there is no balance left to maintain the prop erty and so 1t is not worth keeping. Should the property require heavy ex- penditure for repairs the mortgages refrain from claiming it. Occasionally. too, owners die, leaving no one to sue ceed them, and then tenants with suf- hcient audacity can lie low and squat until twenty years undisturb- ed possession gives them permanent ownership.
