THE FLIGHT FROM REASON.

Just as President Wilson was on the verge of negotiating with General Carranza for the bringing about of a United Mexico, the latter gentleman saw fit to break with his cabinet and is now a refugee in a fortress se- cured by the waters of Vera Cruz harbor. Generals Obregon and Con- gales having seen fit to withdraw their aid from their First Chief and lean to the side of the dissenting ministers. it is likely Mexico will now be graced by an added attraction in the way of government" From the face of things, governments" are: set up in Mexico with the same alac- rity attached to the opening of hotels in New York.
 This latest change in the affairs of republic unable to hold for any length of time to a given policy may be the means of President Wilson furtnering his plan of having estab- lished in Mexico a government that will obtain prompt recognition from the world powers. Carranza was the one big obstacle in the way of such a proposal. He has repeatedly re- fused President Wilson's suggestions If his followers desert him to any ex- tent, he may be taken care of in easy
 fashion. On the other hand, should
 he maintain what prestige he former
 ly exerted. it will be several weeks, at least, before this country can take
 any steps toward alleviation of it's
 southern neighbours condition. At
 best it is a complicated and delicate situation
 For the nonce,. General Gonzales has halted the march on Mexico City. According to his own assertion ne will not resume activities until Car ranza makes peace with his minis ters. This may never be, and Con-
 gales and Obregon may unite in a government of their own
 zapata's alliance with Villa is of extreme tenuity because of Obregon' s army separating the two. This situ-
 ation would lead Villa to carry out l his plans single handed, with Zapata establishing a third "governmen ent.'' Limitations from Washington are l that President Wilson will await de- velopments in Mexico before taking 1 any steps towards the solution of 3 1 problem that grows more complicated as time goes on. With the return to l "watchful Waiting" the er1on-con- : l batants of Mexico are brought nearer 1 the brink of death, as starvation will soon be in order. Red Cross reports show horrible conditions with pros ] poets of a dearth of corn and beans, the principle food of Mexican peons. l President Wilson's task now Is to l find some man, or group of men" In

KAISER IN SUPREME
 COMMAND INGALICIA
Teutons Confident of Victory of
 Assault on Lemberg x

London, June 21, 12:50 p. m.--Ths announcement that Emperor wiIlfan
 has assumed supreme command ot the operations in Galicia Is inter.
 preted here as an indication of com. plete German confidence in the fina
 victory of the assault on Lemberg now regarded as so near at hand that the generals who, during the last two
 m onths, have battered their way across the province wish the emperor to participate personally in the ex- pected triumph. Some of the claims put forward by the Germans and Austrians to really decisive results have still to be substantiated, but there is no question that they have won new victories both west and north of the Galician capital
 The Austro-German advances is still in progress through the Grodek lines west of Lemberg. The failure of the Russians to hold these positions has been keen disappointment to the British who hoped that this strong and selected position might furnish another example of the resiiency of Emperor Nicholas forces, which has been one of the marked features of the war in the east Nevertheless, it is questioned here that anything so vital. as the flight of the, Russian army, as indicated by Vienna reports, or a perilous break in the Russian front has occurred. Some British experts are of the opinion that the Russians are fighting rear guard ac- tions while withdrawing their armies practically intact. ft
 May Not Defend Lemberg.
 They suggest that either the Rus sians have no intention of defending Lemberg to the last, or have prepared their main defensive lines on posi- tions not yet reached by the Germanic forces. With less than score of miles separating the Austro-German lines from Lemberg, these points must soon be elucidated.
 It is pointed out further by British observers that the latest Russian conn munication hardly indicates such an overwhelming success as their oppo- nents claim, although it is admitted that the battering of the Teutonic phalanxes has won further ground.
 Allies Advance in West.
 French and German accounts of operations Tn the western theater snow the usual divergencies, but the de- tailed reports from Paris satisfy the British that their allies are making such ar1 advance as will shortly per- init more active operations in the sphere occupied by the British army. The French advance north of Arras, 1t is though here. must have pushed the Germans into a narrowed front which will render some of their masses of troops comparatively ip- effective. The gains in Aisace show that the French are drawing close 10 the area of permanent German for A @
