Of the United States toward Carranza
and Gen. Villa are expected to follow a
conference to take place soon between
George Carothers and Duvall West.
United States representatives. and Gen.
Villa and his cabinet at Chihuahua.
1t is deep-rooted in the minds of minor
officials of the State Department that

conditions In Mexico. They are inclined
to the opinion that II Is the Villa gov

met at Ell Paso and were to leave there
last night for Chihuahua. Villas capital.
Mr.. West is taking to the warning fac
lions in Mexico special information direct
from the President.
Should the villa government be recog-
nized the Carranza regime will die of

Mexico City to attach himself to tine
Carranza party, as ordered recently by
Secretary OF State Bryan.
The constitutionalist agency here says
that Carranza has directed Gen. Pablo

FRITZ KREISLER In
THIRD RECITAL HERE
Program at National Theater Consists
Chiefly of Seventeenth and Eight
zenith Century Works.

Fritz KreisIer played for the third
time this season in Washington. in a
recital at the New National Theater
yesterday afternoon. The character of the
program, mostly seventeenth and eight
zenith century works, and the fact that
the performances were unshared by any
one else. were causes for congratulation.
Vivaldi's Concerto in c major" "DevHs
Trill." also Variations" by TartinE a
Chanson and Pavanne of Couperin. a
prelude and gavotte of Bach, Mr.. kreis-
Ter played. Two old Vienna waltzes.
and "Tambourin Chinois,' compositions
Of the performer: the "Preislied." from
Die Meistersinger." and two ompositions
of Cottenet and Francoeur completed the
program.
The Devils Trill'' was a feat of pure
virtuosity: not a blur could be discovered
by the closest listening. 1t is. however.
a work TO test endurance and skill. but
Of no special beauty. Those who take
delight In pure rhetorical line shorn 81
the picturesque or topical express
sion, could not fail to be charmed
with the elegance of the concerto
Of Antonio Vivaldi. Mr.. Kreis-
Ter held the audience in amused
wonderment over the diff1ulties Of the
cadenza in the last movement Of this con-
certO. The lightning swift arpeggio
work. also in the "Rigaudon'' of Fran
occur. and the difficult passage work In
the Tartini variations called out the high
est admiration.
The Bach prelude and Gavotte are of
the type of pure beauty of line which
Mr.. Kreisler does better than anything
else: so are the lovely. tender Chanson
and Pavanne OF Couperin. though of a
different type. Fine spun. delicate threads
Of tone was the Meditation OF Cottenet.
excelling in romantic beauty. OF char
acteristic charm was Mr.. kreislers
''Tambourin Chinois.' the suspension of
harmonics in the midst OF a brilliant pas
sage, a feat of noteworthy skill. The
audience was greatly taken with his
Vienna waltzes.
Too much praise cannot be given Carl
Lamson for his excellent work at the
piano. Mr.. Kreisler played extra his
own "Slavonic Fantasy" Dvorak's IN
dian Lament and a Spanish serenade
by Chaminade. The greatest enthusiasm
was exhibited in an unusual degree for
Washington. G. S. W.

which still lag. the coal, lumber and

respect On the other hand textile and
wooden mills. ship building yards. and
plants making up war orders are busy.
The railroa DIS are preparing to take on
more men. and. all in all. the week has
witnessed further diminution in the num-
bcrs Of unemployed.
THE situation this season is bolstered
by the fact that the cereal agricultural
communities are prosperous owing to
high prices.
Winter wheat crop conditions are ex.

Export trade in wheat continues very
heavy. The oversee movement Of cot
ton IL fairly good.
Railway traffic in the West is quite
heavy. Earnings tend to increase and
Eastern roads are expecting increased
profits from recently authorized rate in

The opening today OF the Panama Pa
cific International Exposition at San
Francisco will stimulate travel to the
Pacific Coast. Money Is easy, cOllec-
