What Villa Faction Has Stood For

New York, June General Villa S
representative in New York city,
Francesca Urquidi, said he was much
gratified by President Wilson's new
policy towards Mexico.
That is fine" Senior Urquidi said
after reading the presidents pro-
nouncement to the Mexican leaders
That is just what we expected from
President Wilson. To be perfectly
frank might say that we--the Villa
people-have tried on more han one
occasion to do just what President
Wilson has suggested. Mr.. Carranza
however, is a very hard headed man."
The military mastery of Mexico
Senior Urquidi said, would depend
upon a great battle which is now be-
ing waged around Leon, northwest Of
Mexico City. This battle between the
Carranza and Villa troops, he said,
had been in progress for eight days.

Cross Excels Him in Eighth and Ninti
Rounds to Get Margin.

New York, June 3.-For seven
rounds Leach Cross and Ad Wolgast
put up fierce and close battle at
the st. Nicholas Rink last night. Then
the skill and persistency Of New
York's ghetto fighter overcame the
aggressiveness Of the former cham
pion and Cross took a decided lead
in the eighth and ninth rounds. In
the final session Wolgast made bet
ter showing, but by that time Cross
not only had the fight tucked away
but maintained his advantage to the
end. sa
The biggest advantage gained by
Wolgast was in the sixth round, when
he caught Cross with a left hook and
sent the East Slider down for a count.
Wary work on the part OF Cross held
his rushing opponent at bay after he
recovered from the telling CLIP and
at the end Of the session the dentist
was holding his man, though losing
the llonors Of the round.

regarding the situation in Mexico yes

following signed statement:

Moral Support Blunder.
ANY foreign country that is sin
cere and honest in it's endeavor to
help our nation would commit the
biggest blunder by giving it's moral
support or assistance to any person
or factions. Such actions, instead of
bringing the results desired, would
result in the opposite direction.
The Mexican nation, as a whole
will never accept any such party, even
il it would only be suspected that
that party received any help from a
foreign country. Our people will
