Embarrassed by Csrranza.

While sympathizing with the Con-
stitutionaist advance upon Huerta and
supporting many OF the reforms for
which the rebels are fighting, IT is
understood that the Americans have
/ been embarrassed in a slight degree by
nize the right Of foreign mediators to
act in respect TO the setting up Of q
new government General Carranza
from the first has argued that this
question was purely internal and be-
yond the province Of a mediation tri-
bunal.
II is said here that the Wilson ad
r7jnistratfon is not in accord with this
view The incapacity Of General
Huerta 10 insure observance Of con-
tracts II an international character
having been fully demonstrated Wash
ington realizes that world powers look
Il it to see that government is es-
tabHshed with which they can deal
with confidence Therefore. II is said
question usually conceded to be in
te-nal has become international.
All parties 70 the conference agree
that a military force that controls an
area greater than falls under the domi-
nation OF all other factions combined
must be reckoned with, must have
voice in any settlement OF the Mexican
problem If permanency IS expected.
The difference, il appears, relates
wholly to methods. General Carranza
feels that he should have been in the
conference from the first and that he
was treated with scant courtesy by the
South American ENJOYS when they
withdrew their invitation TO him 10
send delegates. The ENJOYS, on the
other hand, fee that General Carranza
belittled their efforts when he declined
10 agree to an armstice with General
Huerta. There the matter rested until
the conferences were we'll under way.
Meanwhile, mediation Of the contro-
versy between the United states and
General Huerta awaits arbitration by
the American delegates Of the misun-
derstandings between the mediators
and General CarTanza.

the American delegates are insisting
that the Constitutionalists be admitted

inspired by President Wilson himself,
or by Secretary Bryan, cannot be de-

The American delegates professed 70
know nothing OF Sefor Urquidi or his

Carranza's interest, and declared their
Indifference 10 the treatment he might
receive at the hands OF the mediators,
going so far as somewhat ostentatious-
ly 10 avoid meeting him.
The communication brought up by

Tho Constitutionalists represented so

Mexico that they were entitled 70 n

for the admission Of the Constitu-
tfonaists to the conference The me-
diators pointed out to them that the
Constitutionalists had been free to en-
ter into the mediation from the first
under the same conditions as controlled
the admission Of Mexican and Ameri-
can delegates, but that Carranza had
refused TO mediate on any question af-
fecting the internal affairs OF Mexico
or TO enter into an armistice.
When asked il Carranza was now
willing to enter into an armistice the
reply was that he was not. The ques-
tion was then raised as TO whether II
was a fair proposition 10 ask the ad-
mission Of his representatives in the
absence Of an armistice, when both
Mexico and the United States had
agreed to and strictly observed an
armistice. A second question was
asked as 10 why, If the administration
a Washington had believed it essen
tial that the COnstitutionalists should
become a party TO the mediation, II
had permitted the conference to go on
until an agreement had been reached
without making that point clear and
with assurance that the influence OF
the administration with Villa and Car
rama would be sufficient TO induce
them TO accept any agreement which
President Wilson considered just and
fair

Villas Big Threat
A Mexican who has been in close

Gently tells me that villa declared with
great vehemenco that he would not
hesitate 10 invade the United states
should President Wilson give his con-
sent 10 peace plan which Villa did
not approve. Villa said, according to
my informant that he had his plans
all prepared for the invasion Of Texas
and that If Washington played him
false he would teach that country a
terrible lesson.
OF course such a threat sounds like
homhast. ut il is declared that Villa
has come to believe that lie is a second
Napoleon. q man Of destiny, whose
military strategy surpasses that Of any
general whose service the United States
could command, and that furthermore
he entertains the view which Huerta
held for a considerable time. that the

able 70 conceive any motive not com

paper correspondents at Niagara Falls
is the terrible case OF aphasia which
has afflicted Walter Vernier. the pub
lefty agent Of tho mediator since he
assumed that responsibility. One OF
the best posted men on all Central and
South American affairs a fluent writer
and an easy speaker Verner has sud
denly suffered from a congestion OF
thought and utterance which is almost
astounding
The newspaper men have offered tc
employ the most skilful specialist IN
the Dominion to attend him, but OBJ
duracy appears to be one OF the phases
of his unfortunate afiliction and he
will not subject himself to treatment
His bulletins regarding the progress OF
the mediation are so few and so un-
illuminatiVe that it is generally de-
clared that newspaper men are obliged
to soak them for hours in hot water
before they can be swelled into a brief
paragraph, and this applies even to
the most important meetings Of the
conference.
Grave fears are entertained that YER

Of words will become chronic. but he
Cheerfully and obstinately rejects all
proposals Of medical attention. A prize
of 80 for a superfluous word in one
Of Vernior's bulletins and one Of $25

been offered, but no one has been able
to win either.

 T compare these mill villages" said this man. with my own little home town. where there is no industry and where, in consequence, sloth and moral stagnation make a black picture of New England degeneracy. The small mill owners have saved hundreds of our villages from this low state. Now there appears to be an end of the sav- ing, for the mill workers, largely of American stock, even at this late day, are tied to their villages by the own ership of land. They cannot compete with foreign labor in the larger cen ters- They have grown up in seclusion, in little special environments of their own, and it does not seem possible for them to break into new fields and make themselves at home there"
 But the world "do move" it is said, and despite the law of gravitation the moving seems to cause some things to drop out of their fixtures. If this is to be, the story with the small New England mill villages, then the proo- lems of rural slum work will assume a. new importance and acuteness.
