CLAIMS OF MEXICAN
LEADERS CONFLICT
Carranzas Statement that Obregor
Has Entered Leon Is Denied
by Villistas.

Villa and Carranza claims are again in
, conflict, according to statements issued
at the agencies here regarding the mill
tary situation in the region being con-
tested for by Gen. Obregon. Carranza's
commander. and Gen. Villa.
According to announcement by the Car
rama agency last night. Gen. Obregon
entered the city Of Leon Saturday after
noon at the head of his forces. Leon is
far to the north of Irapuato where Obre-
gon defeated Villa, and near Aguas-
calientes. where Villa has been reorgan-
izing his army.
The Villistas assert. however, that
Obregon was defeated last week at a
point between Leon and lrapuato. II Is
asserted that Villas vanguard met the
Obregon troops and inflicted upon them
loss of 600 killed. besides capturing
large quantities of arms and munitions
The State Department has no report
regarding the movements of either force
In the last few days and consequently
there is nothing official to confirm either
the Carranza or the Villa claims.

JAPS' VICTORY PREDICTED.
China VIII Be Forced to Yield, Is
Belief Here.

Officials of the State Department
yesterday denied that any official dis
patch. had been received confirming
press reports that China had finally re-
fused to grant certain of the Japanese
demands. These reports are generally
credited here. however, as such an out
come has been rather expected.
The strictest secrecy is still being
preserved in administration and diplo-
matte quarters with regard to the part
the United States is taking in the dis
cussions with Japan and China. Pekin
is. in fact. practically the only source
of information which the general pub
lie of this and other countries can look
to for news of developments in the sit
uation.
1t is generally believed here that
Japan will eventually get from China,
in one way or another, all that she has
asked for.

the floors of the building on Sunday and
to carry out this plan. instead of en-
ga ging patrolmen, he has closed the
front doors on Sundays. which will give
him the services of the three men sta
toned there. II is estimated that the
proposed reductions in door guards serv-

explained, will be done by readjustins

after July !. by means of the motor

and which will then be inauguratcd rural
mail facilities will bc extended to many
additional patrons.
Operating Cost Reduced.
During April changes have been au-
thorZed which. without curtailment of
service, have reduced operating expenses

establish 26J new routes. serving 3l.Oil
additional families or approximately l55.
2oo additional persons. Also extensions
OF existing service have been put into
effect during April involving a total of
loi additional miles OF travel by rural
carriers. These extensions serve Ice
additional families and approximately
6.0l0 additional persons. In explanation
Of his plans, Mr.. Rurleson says:
1.-The purpose is to enable the Post
ONCE Department to meet just demands
for mail service which thus far the de-
partment has been unable to provide
This can only be done by careful and
painstaking readjustment of existing
service. Thorough survey and study Of
existing conditions. therefore, have been
made. In some localities it has been
found that there are unnecessary and un-
justifiable Implications and retracings of
travel by rural carriers.
Motor Cars to Be Used.
"In other cases. 1t appears that unusual
privileges involving unnecessary service
have been allowed. 1t Ia quite feasible
to rectify these inequalities and this is
what Is being done. Later. We expect by
utilizing modern motor vehicles on i'm
proved highways, to extend many exist
ing routes at no additional cost Of serv-
ice. AS one of the results from this
latter step. the delivery zone from i'm
portant postal centers will be doubled.
Thus families in the area Immediately
tributary to these centers will be en-
abled to take full advantage of the
parcel post as a means of transporta-
ton Of farm products.
Rural service will be extended to
every farmer reasonably entitled to it
as rapidly as the new adjustments can
be made
