BRITISH PRESS Halls THE
RESIGNATION OF HUERTA AS
GREAT VICTORY FOR WILSON

London, July 17.-Huertas resig-
nation is regarded as a victory for
President Wilson's policy and is well
coined by the British public and Off
Gals as a possible solution of the Mex
lean problem.
A peaceful end to the complex sit
uation is greatly desired here on ac-
count of the large British financial
interests in Mexico Most of the Lon
don newspapers, however, express
doubt as to whether conditions will be
any better under Carranza.
The Pail Mall Gazette points out
that if Carbajal surrenders to Car

act reparation from Gen. Villa for the
murder at Juarez of William S. Ben

New York, July 17-Justice Gle>

vorce from Frank w. Sears, leader

Pauline Langdon, with whom DR..
Sears went abroad last year.
At the trial Miss Langdon and Mr.
Sears both testified they were mu-
tually interested in the New Thought
movement, and much in each others
company in carrying on the work.
Mr.. Sears admitted he had visited
Miss Langdon alone in her room, but
explained it was to get her advice
about religious matters. Justice Gle
gerich said:
In the face of all the testimony
and the conceded facts, it is impos-
sible to credit the professions ad-
vanced by the defendant and the CO
respondent that their relations were
purely platonic and of an intellectual
and sympathetic kind and in accord
ance with a higher law than that
which they designated as man-made
conventionalities.
Frequent long visits he made 70

| Washington administration has won a
diplomatic victory. President Wilson
has been persistent and patient in his
policy of non-recognition of Gen. Huer-
ia, but it is likely enough he will
be met now by other obstacles just as
hard to surmount as was Gen. Huer-
ta's obstinacy"
The Globe takes much the same
view, saying: The elimination of Gen.
Huerta is triumph of a sort for Pres
ident Wilson but it may be assumed
that his difficulties are by no means
over. There is no reason to suppose
that the real opinions of the Mexican
people will have more opportunity to
assert themselves under Carranza
than they had under Huerta The
United States, however, has been
warned by experience, not to inquire
too closely, not to expect too much"
