Washington, Feb. 26.--"Curb
Villa or admit that he is the real
leader OF the revolutionary forces in
the north and that you are power
less" That message from the
State Department was delivered to
Gen. Venustidno Cdrranza at Noga-
les, Sonora, today. On the answer
to it will depend whether this Gov
elnment will maintain its policy OF
patient watchful waiting in Mexico
or consider other tactics.
Carlanza holds the key to the en-
tire situation. Despite the utmost
secrecy at the State Department 1t
was learned today that Carranza
has been told that the United
States will not submit longer to hav-
ing it's demands defed.
He has been told that Villas ac-
ton in the Benton case is indefensl-
Bile. He has been warned that pop
ular opinion in the United States
will not longer support the Admin
istration's semi-recognition of the
constitutionalists SO long as the
lives OF Americans and foreigners
generally are not held sacred by
villa and his subordiEates.

undercurrent of bitter feeling o:er
Tuesdays primaries. In the first
place they had expected to pei. iuiiy
three times the numebr Of votes they
actually showed. On top o. this
there are ugly charges Of dishonesty
trickery, double dealing and the state
ment that women, especially those in
politics, are far inferior to men wen
it cdnes to a matter of honor.
Miss Sarah Hopkins, defeated for
the aldermanic nomination in the
second ward, and Mrs. Marie Ger
har.:t Democratic aldermanic candi-
date in the 23rd ward, also defeated,
made flat accusations that their
downfall was due to the treachery Of
"sisters" in the cause.
Miss Gerhardt, in bitter state
ment exposing some of the dishonest
tactics on the part of Comrades vc.,-
tured the opinion that the ccuntrg
would be infinitely better off if wo-
men did not have the ballot. Having
delivered herself Of this sizzling shot,
she left the city for health resort
to rebuild her strength racked .0 lhe

on Capitol Hill.
On that occasion Coxey headed
body of 1000 marchers and other
