NEW YORK, July 3.--Advices to the New York World from its Mexi. can and Washington correspondents are that Gen. Villa will assert his leadership in Mexican affairs if Gen. Carranza does not get down from his high horse" immediately. They agree that while Villa and his com manders are conscious of their power to capture Mexico City, they realize that the cost in human life and treas ure will be great-probably more than that at Zacatecas. Therefore, they de- sire that peace, if the purpose for which they are fighting can be SC. cured. should come quickly The World urges the administrator to act with Villa in case Carranza does not quickly adiUst his differences with him, and predicts that 1t will do so.

COPPER. RIVER TOWNSHIP.
 PLAT FILED IN LOCAL OFFICE

The local land office yesterday is- sued notice of the filing of township plat for Township No. north, range 1 east of Copper River meridian. The land is located near Copper Center on the Fairbanks trail.
 An interesting feature connected with the filing of this plat under cir cular of May :. 1914, from the general land office, is that the rules and regu- lations for settlement are changed for the first time in history of United States land laws, from the old system of first come, first served, to a method similar to that employed in opening up Indian reservations; namely, a drawing system. Actual settlers are however. given preference right of entry and the drawing applies only to those applications filed 20 days prior the filing of the plat or on that date.
