THE MEXICAN MUSS

The greatest difficulty the average
man has in trying to find out what
is doing in Mexico, is in figuring
what it's all about. Carranza and
Villa were cooperating, one as civil,
the other as military head of the
constitutionalist movement. They
won. Then they quarreled. What
about?
Carranza had been selected as
"first chief" of the constitutionalist
party. Under the agreement made
at the time that movement was set
on foot, it was understood that when
Huerta was driven from power and
the constitutionalists placed in con-
troll, Carranza should become pro-
visional president.
AS provisional president he would
be subject to all the restrictions on
his power that are provided by the
Mexican constitution.
In other words, as provisional
president he would be less powerful
than as "first chief" of victorious
party in control of the country. As
"first chief" he could be a dictator,
responsible to no constitution, no
congress. He could decree his
measures; but as provisional presi-
dent he would have to get the con-
gress together and induce it to
enact them.
Just as good many American
Presidents have been embarrassed
by the necessity of "having Congress
on their hands," so Carranza, vic
torious, conceived that he would be
circumscribed if he placed himself
as provisional president, in a posi-
tion that would compel him to get
along with a congress. So, when
his party came into power, he calmly
decided not to become provisional
president; he would rather continue
as first chief, for a time anyhow
and keep all the power in his owr
fist. .
That was where Villa broke. Tn.
military man was a better consti
tutionalist than the civil chief. H,
wanted things done regularly and IL
order, as had been promised to th'
country.
| So it was proposed that "A con
vention Of military chiefs be brough
together to decide what should b'
done. Carranza wanted the general
alone brought in. He thought h
could dominate their gathering
Villa insisted that the convention b.
made a sort of democratic-m -militar,
affair, each 1000 of the soldier
sending their chosen delegate. More
over, Villa insisted that Zapata an
his following be consulted and re
garded as co-partners in the ad
vantages and responsibilities of tn
successful revolt. Villa had hi
way.

WOMEN STILL HOPE
7OCONVERT WILSON
Democratic Suffrage Hosts Are
Disappointed at Presidents
Action, But Not Discouraged

Although keenly disappointed that
President Wilson did not grant their re-
quest that he support the proposed
Constitutional amendment enfranchis-
ing women, the Democratic women are
not angry, and will be no less loyal to
the party in the future than in the past,
according to Mrs. George A. Armes,
president Of the District branch Of the
Wilson and Marshall League. who head
ed the deputation Of women who visited
the White House yesterday.
"While the President reiterated his
previous statements that he considered
suffrage a State issue. he did It in such
4 courteous way and received US so
graciously, that don't think good,
fact that he has his personal convictions
and feels 1t his duty to act as he has
acted" said Mrs. Armes today. II, for
one. certainly would not. and believe
that most Of the women who were with
me yesterday feel the same way.
Hope For Conversion.
although the President would offer
us no encouragement yesterday" con-
tinued Mrs. Armes. II am convinced
that we made q deep impression on him,
and believe that he will later change
his attitude toward the suffrage amend
nlent. President Wilson is not a man
who changes his mind quickly. but I
think he will be convinced in time"
When questioned as to the plans of
the women OF the league for the future,
Mrs. Armes stated that they would con-
tinue to support the Federal amend
rnent. and do all in their power to brins
about its adoption.
Warns the Party.
Miss Alice Paul. head Of the Congress
sional Union for woman suffrage. who
was one of the delegation which called
on the President yesterday, Is rot of
the same opinion as is Mrs. Armes. Her
comment was as fellows:

ships operated by the United States
Treasury, we can insist upon our
right to carry without interference
neutral cargoes destined for neutral
use. But when the Government goes
into the shipping business, with the
Treasury footing the losses, Ameri-
can individuals that are out stay
out and American individuals that
are already in get out.
There can be no privately owned
American shipping whatsoever on
the high seas when the United
States Government is paying the
purchase price of merchantmen, the
wages of crews, their food bills, in
surance, other costs Of operation, re-
gardless of what comes in from the
business.
There can be no turning over Of
such Government shipping, once it
is established with Treasury-covered
losses, to American private owners
without something's discriminating
tariff, a subsidy or similar aid-to
do to a limited degree for the pri-
vately owned ships what the Treas
ury was doing to an unlimited de-
gree for the Government owned
ships.
To transfer the Government mari
time business, after it is built up on
a profitable" basis, to American
private owners is declared to be the
exact purpose. Right there is where
that shipping policy will be futile.

Dear Annie Laurie: The letter
published recently in your column
signed Disappointed" 10 very In
teresting from the masculine
standpoint. Personally. agree
with the writer. for l can see no
necessity or In fact any reason at
night. provided he is not en-
gagged to her. Looking at the
proposition from the point or
view of a man who feels as she
does on the question of pro-
miscuous kissing. however. con-
ditions are simply reversed. When
present day girl. he is never GER
tain whether or not he Ia expected
TO kiss her good night. II he does
not kiss her he may be considered
slow and be no longer welcome;
II he attempts to kiss hsr and is
tIaAl y. L.
this Is due tn personal dislike or
to considerations similar to those
advanced by disappointed; II
he attempts to kiss her and sue
ceeds. his estimation OF the stand
ard Of the female sex Is lowered.
Men are but human. and when
permitted, don't as a rule object
to kissing.
For the information Of "pis-
appointed" however, l would like
to say that there are men in
this city who would be delighted
to take the right kind of girls
to dance or show. or spend an

the highest respect for the

neither expect nor desire any
