Not Much Trust Placed
in Villas Statement

Washington, D. c., April 25.-It was
learned that the Administration found
comfort in Villas statement chiefly be-
cause it seemed to indicate that should
Carranza unite forces with Huerta,
Villa would not lend his ability to any
arti-American operations. They are
accordingly counting on the prestige
of Villas name to counteract in North
ern Mexico the effect produced by Car
ranza's petulance and recent anti
American expression.
Persons here who know Villa inti-
mately, however, contend that tho
Wilson Administration Is leaning on q
broken reed If they expect Villa to fol-
low any course that will run counter
to the sentiment in northern Mexico
They insist that not only Carranza, but
Villa and all of the other rebel leaders
in Mexico will eventually be found op-
posing the military operations of the
United States government.
