What America Demands
of Carrdnzd Government

The United States, through
Chief Of Staff colt, will make
these proposals to the dc facto
Government Of Mexico regarding
the Villa pursuit:
First No immediate withdrawal Of
our troops from Mexico
Second General Carranza must
show a stronger and more efficient CO.
operation with American commanders.
Third. lie must guarantee this
country every facility of transporta-
tion controlled by him
Fourth. No dead line must be put
on the progress OF our troops where
It is deemed unnecessary by our Of
ficers
Fifth. Carranza must make con-
scientlous effort to capture Villa and
put down outlawry.
In return for these concessions,
Generals Scott and Funston will
give General 0bregon the following
assurances:
First During occupancy the United
States win war only on open foes of
this country
Second. Operations will be con-
fined to the capture of villa, suppress
sion of banditry. protection of Amer
lean interests and prevention of bor-
der depredations.
Third. No needless invasion of
Mexican territory.
Fourth Final withdrawal of all
American forces when General Car
rama has shown that he Is complete

U. s. TO INSIST NBREG0N
SHOW HAND In VILLA HUME

WASHINGTON, April 26,--Ofiicials here
base all their hopes Of the future rela-
ttons between the United Staes and Mex
leo on the outcome of the conference about
to be held between Major General Scott,
chief of staff OF the American army, and
General Obregon. Mexican War Minister
On account of General Scotts aptitude
as diplomat and previous success i'll
conducting negotiations with the Next
cans, officials believe, he will be able to
obtain, as satisfactory assurances from
ObreEon as any one can.
General Scott's instructions from Wash
ington WILL however require frmness as
well as tact in dealing with the Mexican
War Minister. Obregon vi be told very
frankly that the present mission in Mex
leo will not be considered concluded until
either the Americans or the forces of the
de facto Government have captured villa
or forever ended his power. The Mexican
general will be told further that the cap
ture of Villa will be a condition precedent
to the withdrawal Of the American expe-
dition.
Moreover, General obregon will be given
to understand that the forces of the de
facto Government must guarantee that
there will be no recurrence of border
raids such as have menaced the American
frontier for the last five years.
General Scott is likely to use some
plain language concerning the character
OF the cooperation from CaTranza SOL
diers, which thus far during General
Pershing's expedition may be described as
indifference, downright hostility and
treachery. Obregon will be made to un-
derstand that If his forces do not CO.
operate the United States must go 1t alone
until the object of the punitive expedition
has been accomplished.
As General CarranZa has always been
obstinate and discourteous in his dealings
with the United States, more is hoped for
from the negotiations with Obregon OBJ
regon, who is an astute politician as well
as a soldier, II is pointed out in State De-
partment circles cannot fail to see the
abject plight in which the Carranza Gov
ernment finds itself. With rumors of in.
creasing unfriendliness between Carranza
and obregon still persisting, officials here
believe that Obregon, thought by many to
be the logical successor to the present de
facto First Chief. will be the last man to
antagonize the United States.
Aside from hope for Carranzista con-
cessions, army men draw fresh optimism
today from the possibility that villa
might be run down in the mountains west
of Parral. The only thing to hinder pur-
suit is the jaded condition of General
Pershings mounts. But some recalled
Dodd's dash and thought there might he
duplication of it.

ORGANIZER BEATEN BY MOB.
Western Federation Organizer Elected
From Copper Field.

Copper Hill, Tenn.-Guy E. Miller OF
Denver, organizer for the Western
Federation of Miners, was seized by
mob as he returned from a meeting
near here Saturday and was taken to
the outskirts of the town, whipped
and ordered to leave.
]. A. Jones, Miller's local assistant,
was taken from his room in hotel,
marched through the streets at the
head of crowd and forced to swear
that he would leave town on the next
train. He left.
The trouble arose when citizens and
members of trades unions affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor objected to the attempt of West.
ern Federation of Miners to gain a
control of the labor situation in the
copper fields near here. Miller had
led the effort to organize the mine
workers in opposition to the United
Mine Workers of America, who have
been supported by what is said to BIZ
a majority of business men in thu
Tennessee copper fields.

Has Jeanne D,Arc,s SIGNATURE.

All credulous and believing France
thinks today that the country is being
saved by Jeanne dare. AS Marie Van
Worst says, "Just think of it, in the
twentieth century, when the war is be-
ing fought in the air and under the
sea, there remains enough of spiritual
faith to believe that the salvation of a
country comes through prayer"
In this connection it is of interest to
note that two autograph signatures of
Jeanne dare exist in the archives of
the French family of De Maleissye at
the chateau of Vigeau, near Reims.
The Marquis de Maleissye is descend.
ant of the eldest brother of the maid,
whose daughter, the Marquise de Gou-
laine, saved the letters and other
relics of the maid by burying them.
The Marquis de Maleissye heard these
particulars from the marquise.
