ent so-called armies in the field il ap-
pears that Cdrranza has better title to
represent all Mexico than has Villa.
His leading generals are from all sec
tions of the country. Villas support
ers. who are still loyal, are, with few
exceptions, from Chihuahua and other
parts of northern Mexico.
Gen. Obregon is cited by the Carran-
zistas as evidence of the claim that
Carranza represents all Mexico. He
as is well known comes from Sonora

Mexico. is also from Sonora He did
most of the fighting there against GOV

constitutional functions in all parts Of
the country. His contention from the
beginning was that first chief of the
constitutonaiist army he was the su-
preme authority, and would be such until
the plan OF Guadalupe was put into eS
feet. He was first chief by virtue of the
choice of the other military chiefs, and
the plan of Guadalupe was the means by
which the land reforms and other reforms
of government We're to be carried out.
Carranza never has receded an inch
from the ground he took when the naval
forces of the United States under com
mand Of Admiral Fletcher were landed
at Vera Cruz. This he maintained
a violation of the national sovereignty of
Mexico. In his famous message to Sec
retary Bryan he said that the usurped
title of president of the republic could
not invest Gen. Huerta with the right to
receive a demand for reparation on the
part of the government of the United
States He proposed himself to make
rcparation to the United States for the
acts of the usurper
In view of the hints Of possible inter-
vention by President Wilson if the Mexi-
can factions do not get together. the views
expressed by Gen. Carranza al that time
are of present interest. The United
States did not withdraw the troops until
months afterward; but during the mill
tary occupancy Carranza's attitude al
ways was one of protest against their
presence.
He did not sever the pacific relations
which he said still united the Mexican
people to the people of the United States.
possibly for Oh" reason, because Villa, as
Evening star., 1915-06-27

and occupy il has some significance. 1t
is assumed that the first chief if eStab-
lished at the capital. would find himself
in stronger position to negotiate with
Washington than when at a seaport. and
also that il would help to make good the
claim that CarranZa's authority is firmly
fixed and that his administration should
be recignized by Washington as the gov
ernment of Mexico. Washington, how
ever, is not likely to pay much attention
to where the seat OF government is sup
posed to be.
Those who know the first chief do not
pretend that he has changed since he re-
ceived the confidential agent sent to him
by President Wilson, when his wander
ing government was in Sonora. The fact
that his tone has been less aggressive and
his attitude more receptive since his
Washington attorney visited him at Vera
Cruz and since other American friends
sought to influence him, is said by his
associates to be due to a better under
standing of his motives and Of his char
acter by Washington officials.
1t is to be said for Gen. Carranza that
his present attitude is consistent with his
attitude from the time he took the field
with his sixty-seven followers as COVER
nor of the state of Coahuila. refusing to
recognize the Huerta usurpation.
Carranza's position is that there has
been no lapse of constitutional govern
rnent in MeXico-not even an interregnum,
but merely an interruption of the full
