Carranza. Villa and the other faction
leaders are all fighting. they say. for
one and the same thing, Constitu-
tionalist government in Mexico.
With this end in view administra-

months. Il is understood that Cen
oral Carranza persists in thinking ne Is
tbo IDEAL man for the job OF pacifying

But the main points raised Dy the
President as TO the needfulness OF the
cessation Of civil war Will be accepted
without question. and the cooperation
Of the Constitutonalist government

and cities bordering on United StateS
