long conference with the Secretary
of State. il was announced that Mr..
West had been appointed confidential
agent Of the department and instructed
10 proceed at once to Mexico as an OBJ
server of conditions and TO report
thereon.
The department was silent as to the
specific instructions TO Mr.. West. 1t
was said he would pursue the same
course as that taken by Paul Fuller,
who went TO Mexico last autumn on
similar mission. Where his headquar-
/ ters will be was not divulged.
The length of time the departments
envoy will spend in Mexico has not

he will see Carranza or Villa first.

II is understood that while Mr.. west
will point out the growing necessity

GENERAL V|LLAMAY
GIVE UP COMMAND
Object Of Step Is To Treat
With Carranza To
End War
ASSOCIATED Press by Federal Wireless,


Ell PAso, Texas, July l4.-Persist
Cnt rumors that General Villa is about
to surrender command of his forces are
beginning 20 be heard, They cannot
be confirmed officially, but receive gen,
cral crodence
The explanation given is that, by
turning over his authority to his chief
lieutenant, General Robles, Villa will
be enabled to treat for peace with
Carranza on better terms. Most of his
officers are said to favor the plan in
the belief that Robles is better suited
to negotiate with Carranza.
President Wilson's pressure on all
the Mexican chieftains to settle their diff
ferences is thought to weigh more with
Villa than the military situation. In
spite of the defeat of Villa s ally Ia
pata in the south, resulting in the oc,
cuPatiOn Of Mexico City by General
Gonsalves, General obregon, Carranza 5
chief of staff, is reported to have been
heavily defeated by Villa south Of
Queretaro and cut off from his base
at Vera Cruz.
