tectually aVerted by the enactment Of

umcOnstitntiOnality and statement on
the part Of leaders tof the railroad

" IA possible change i'll
the tariff after the end of the world
war in Europe is the only vital al
teration in policy contemplated by
President Wilson, according to
those of his conidants who we're
willing to speak of their conver-
sations with the chief executive
yesterday. .
Mr.. M,jlson came to his, desl;ayes-
terday full Of vim and plunged at
once into the mass Of work that
has accumulated during his alb
sence without apparently caring to
question the members of his staff
regarding the status of the electoral
college vote, or manifeSting any
great anxiety regarding the fate Of
Democratic representatives whose
reelection is doubtful.
Discusses Submarine Question
One of his first tasks in the morn
ing was an intel view with Secre-
lary Of State Lansing. who was
called in to discuss the situation as
regards the submarine crisis and
the Mexican situation.
These two questions are causing
great anxiety among the depart
mental officials, who make not the
least attempt to conceal the fact that
they believe that the gravest and
most dangerous possibilities are
contained in the developments Of
the last few days in both situations
Talk To Morgenthau
Secretary Lansing was followed
by Henry Morgenthau. chairman
Of the Democratic campaign finance
committee and one Of the main
stays Of the Wilson campaign just
closed. lie also discussed interna-
lional questions rather than polit-
cal ones, according to statements
made after the conference with the
President.
Both Mr.. Morgenthau and others
who saw the President declared
that his reelection will not make
any difference in his policies, GER
tainly no radical changes are con-
templated at present, it was de-
Clared.
In speaking of the tariff how
ever, ii was admitted that the presi-
dent probably will recommend a
complete revision after the war Of
the present law. provided the facts
gathered by the tariff commission
justify such a course.
At Work On Message
The President began yesterday
preparation OF his message to con-
gresS. 1t was admitted that be

through some of the administra-
tons pet measures at the coming

in the right direction, but there is
a uuesticn in the minds of many as
10 whether ne will be able 10 re-
store peace and put an end to the
various disgrunted bands and fac
tions.
There are about COO followers of
villa. now broken up into possibly
a dozen small groups, carrying on a
guerilla warfare. These MeXicans
prefer the life Of bandits TO that OF
respectable living, and the only way
70 rid Mexico of their presence will
be to annihilate them. According to
information at FL Paso, Villa is not
more than twenty-five miles from that
city and Is hiding in the mountains
with twenty-five of these bandits and
cutthroatg. They will be menace so
long as they are permitted to remain
at large. The only way to dispose Of
them will be to run them down and
annihilate them.
"Vina is harassing the commercial
interests of northern Mexico the same
as Zapata is doing in the southern
part of the republic Zapata has been
a terror in southern Mexico for years,
and Villa is feared by the MeXicans
in the northern states of Mexico.
Trains Are Running.
"Trains are not running south of
Juarez on anything like schedules.
They get a train through when they
can. but they are not certain of when
they can do so. Commercial pursuits
are in n sad plight, and there is no
perceptible improvement of late. 1t
would be hard for any man to say
when this improvement will be no
ticeable.
Business, generally speaking, is
much improved in FL Paso, but the
effect of the disturbed conditions just
across the border has been felt there
Asked if there was any uneasiness
among residents of FL Paso a few
weeks ago when Villa threatened to
take El Paso, Mr.. Martinez said:
"Villa is no more: his army has
been scattered to the four winds; he
has been compelled to fee to the
mountains for, his life. At the time
that he had, perhaps, 10000 troops
only a short distance from FL Paso
and threatened to invade the city,
there was anxiety felt among FL Paso
residents. If he had carried out his
threat he would have found the city
unprepared to successfully repulse his
invasiCn.'
