1t was said. the two points agreed upon
being the first presented for the consid-
attempt to deal with the breach between
their chiefs. That these first and impor-
tant points were agreed upon with such
little delay has caused feeling here that
other points settling the differences be-
tween Gen. Carranza and Gen Villa Will
will be decided with equal facility.
The points agreed upon represent con-
cessions by both sides. it was said. Gen.
Villa, according to the news here. will
withdraw his resignation as commander
Of the northern division. Gen. Carranza
Will withdraw the acceptance of the resig-
nation. The division of the north. inciud-
ing its fifteen generals. will reaffirm their

To DISTRICT
UNDER RESOLUTION
Believed There Was an Oversight in
Providing the Continuing
Appropriation.

Unless Congress remedies what is
thought to have been an oversight in
passing the continuing resolution provid-
ing funds for operating the affairs of the
District without inserting the usual half
and-half" clause placing the expenses
Jointly upon the federal and local gov
ernments. the municipality will benefit to
the extent of about $1S4,OO0 during the
first two weeks of July. according to
views expressed by District officials to-
day.
No Reference to "Half-and-Half."
AS passed by Congress the continuing
resolution, 1t is pointed out, ignores the
half principle. 1t provides
that all appropriations for the necessary
operations Of the government and of the
District of Columbia which shall remain
unprovided for on the 30th day of June,
1914, are continued and made available
for and during the first half of July. 1914,
unless the regular appropriations provid-
ed therefor In bills now pending in Con-
gress sholl have been previously made for
the service OF the fiscal year ending June
80, 1915; and sufficient amount is ap-
propriated. out of any money in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to
carry on the same"
Although it is not believed that the
District will benefit permanently by the
wording of the resolution, its failure to
saddle half Of the cost on the municipal
ity has aroused interest on the part OF
District officials.
1t Is pointed out that the amount con-
ta1ned in the appropriation bill for 1914
for current expenses was $S,SlDNO and
that one-twenty-fourth of this sum,
which the continuing resolution provides
shall be expended during the first fifteen
days of July. amounts to $386, CSC. &c, of
which the Districts share, under the
half -apd-half' plan, would be $751;
333. 3d.
The District Commissioners, 1t is un-
derstood. do not contemplate requesting
the controller of the Treasury for an
opinion as to the Districts liability under
the resolution. as its wording, they con-
tend. Is too clear to permit Of any con-
troversy
They take the ground that the omission
of the half-and-half proviso was an
error and that Congress will rectify il
when 1t finally passes the District ap-
preparation bill
