Washington.-Definite reports here
are that General Villa has agreed to
leave Mexico If General Carranza will
do the same.
Enrique c. Lorente, Villas repre-
sentative. says Villa plans to visit the
United States. Another report is that
villa and Carranza plan to retire to
Cuba and leave the government in the
hands OF Gutierrez and the convention.
Complete settlement of all differ
ences between the Mexican factions
was indicated by a dispatch Monday
from American agents at Aguas Cali
entes saying Carranza has notified
Gutierrez he will resign in his favor
at once.
Secretary Bryan announced he had
received n telegram from American
Consular Agent Canova, who has been
with the Aguas Calientes convention,
saying everything between the rival
Mexican factions had been satisfac-
torily arranged"
Eulalio Gutierrez formally notified
the United States of his assumption of
power as provisional president Of
Mexico and guaranteed protection for
Americans and all other foreigners.
Two communications from Gutierrez
were laid before President Wilson.
The formal notification of his assump-
tion of office added that he soon
would set up his government in Mex
leo City and seek to bring about peace.
The other, guaranteeing protection for
foreigners. made no request for rec
ognition by the United States. His
message said:
after several conferences between
the various chiefs II was agreed to
designate the city of Aguas Calientes
as the meeting place, and on October
tenth last the military convention of
Aguas Calientes met with representa-
tives OF all the reyolutionist element
Subsequently the assembly declared
itself to be the sovereign power OF
the republic. as being the representa-
tive OF the people in arms that had
fought to reconstitute the nationality.
In virtue thereof, the convention
proceeded TO elect the provisional
president OF the republic. and | was
designated by a majority OF the votes
TO hold the office. In so proceeding,
the convention has given expression to
the purposes OF the revolution, and
endeayored to demonstrate that no
government can exist in Mexico un.
less 1t emanatos from the viii OF the
people. The time OF dictatorship born
OF violence and personal ambition has
passed forever.
"ln announcing TO your excellency's
government the establishment of n
new regime In Mexico. | rely on the
strong sympathies which the honor
able president OF your republic has
always shown to the Mexican people
and their institutions. and find
qualification In hoping that the good
relations that have united us with the
powerful and civilized American ma
ton will subsist In the future and that
the forces OF your government Will
soon be withdrawn from our port OF
Vera Cruz. Then will our relations
be again completely cordial and close
rs they are to be desired between I'D
joining peoples that are brothers by
civilization and hopes"

London, Nov. 1.-THE overwhelm-
ing advance of the Russian troops has
reached Cracow and that city is burn
ing after a furious bombardment by
the Muscovite artillery.
The coming Of winter has partly par
aly2ed the movements of the troops
both in the east and west theaters OF
the war. Tie Russians on the border
OF East Prussia are reported to be
marching through snow, clad In sheep
skin jackets similar TO those which
tho japanese first wore in Manchuria
Billiards have swept the trenches
in Belgium and northern France and
brought great suffering to the wound
ed AS well as to the men in the fields.
A large area of West Flanders around
DiXmude has been flooded by the
heavy rains and is no-man's land for
fighting.
It is generally believed here that
new inundations started by the Bel
gians put many of the German guns
out of action and also prevented the
movements of troops.
1t is almost impossible to gain an
accurate insight into the prodigious
action that is stretching over the 800.
mile front and at the ends of which
the fighting has been extremely Sc
we're during the last three weeks. The
continuous night marches and attacks
made by the Germans, which have
been met by counter attacks from the
allies near Dixmude and Ypres, how
ever, are said to have resulted in
considerable thrusting back OF the
Germans
a coal basin I'm northern France
which is partly occupied by the Ger.
mans has been the scene OF heavy
fighting. The long lines of small
houses belonging to the miners form
a shelter for the infantry, which is
frequently engaged in hand-to-hand
comhats.

the Prussian guards and descriptions
OF the fighting from the front paint
the encounters as terrible. The Prus-
slams fought four deep-the front rank
lying down, the second rank l5neeling
and the third rank standing erect.
The British fire caused an awful
slaughter, and finally when the Brit
fish charged with the bayonet before
the Germans could bring their machine
guns into action hundreds Of men fell.
rhe Kaiser's troops have been
driven back over the User river and
water released by the breaking OF
dikes by the allies has flooded the
trenches of the invaders.
a large body OF German troops has
been cut off by the inundation.

chihuahua, Mexico March 1.-THE
military government today issued a
decree for the distribution of public
lands, including those confiscated,
among soldiers of the. present revolu-
ton, disabled veterans Of the Madero
revolt, and widows and orphans Of
the two rebellions. In advance Of a
survey by engineers, it is estimated
that each beneficiary will receive a
farm of So acres. The decree safe
guards the gifts with provisions that
they shall not be subject to execution
for debt, nor can the owner sell the
same within ten years.
While those who have suffered in
the wars will be given first choice in
the distribution, civilians have right
to apply, and there may be land
enough for some Of them,
The degree provides that no per
son with resources eqdal to one Of
these farms shall participate in the
benefits of the plan, nor win one per-
son be allowed To own more than 81

UNREAsONABLE AMBITION

A stranger stepped into doorway
on a Los Angeles street this week
and swallowed a quick7worling poison
In his clothing was found note brief
ly explaining his suicide and signed
"One who aimed high, but hit low
poor marksman and failure" /"
It appears probable the explanation
for this tragedy was too high an aim
He considered himself a failure in
comparison with what he had hoped
10 accomplish, and in that light he
was failure If he had not had such
ambition perhaps he would still be
living, contented useful citizen,
The number Of people who have
too much ambition is greater than is
generally imagined. Perhaps it is
not a case of too much ambition ex
actly, but of an unreasonable ambi-
tion. A hunter who would bring
home deer does not fire away as
soon as he sights his quarry half a
mile distant, If he can get no closer
than that he win, if he is a reasonable
man, hunt for rabbits instead. To
have to take home q rabbit instead
of a deer would be disfouraging, but
would be better than taking home
nothing at all.
Some people aim in life at the very
highest ideals. They resolve to bring
home a deer or nothing And some
Of them, not being properly equipped
whether with brains or artificial wea
pons, are never able to get a deer
But they stumble along during the
whole day Of their lives, stubbornly
refusing to be satisfied with any less
than their original ambition.
1t is better to be a rabbit getter thar

as tasty as venison, but it will keel
one alive just about as long.
Ambition to be an asset must be reas
