CONFEREES MAY 90
TO THE CAPITAL

Atlantic City. N. J.. Oct. 26.-Unless
an agreement on an adequate and
amicable plan for border control is en-
tered into by the Mexican American
joint commission within q few days, it
appeared a virtual certainty yesterday
that a serious effort would be made to
have the conference transferred to
Washington.
That an agreement will not be
reached before Carranza has demon
strated his ability to eliminate Villa
and his followers is admitted by those
in touch with the commissioners.
The removal of General Carranza
and General Obregon from Mexico
City to Queretaro was explained by
the Mexicans as having to do merely
with the constitutional convention,
which will convene there November
20. They pointed out that by official
decree Queretaro was made the cap
ital almost year ago, and that 1t re-
mains the capital, while Mexico City
has been merely the temporary capital

TOO PROUD TO FIGHT

North Platte, Neb.. Oct. ga large
crowd greeted Theodore Roosevelt here
last night, when he made a 10-minute
talk. He declared that a man who Is
too proud to fight Is not too proud to
get kicked, and the same Is true of ma
tions. Three hundred Americans. he
said, lost their lives in Mexico and on
the Lusitania. because foreign nations
concluded that the United States was
too proud to fight.
'I was president of the United States
seven and one-half years" declared
Colonel Roosevelt. In making a plat
form speech at Kearney. Neb.. and
during that time no representative OF
any foreign power ever harmed a citi-
zen of the United States. because all
knew that, while never picked a quar-
rel, was not too proud to fight"
The former president reviewed his
acquaintance with the west, and de-
clared that here one can always find
true Americans.
In passing through Grand Island Col
onel Roosevelt responded to calls for a
speech. confining his remarks to the
Mexican situation.

NO SETTLEMENT OF
DIFFERENCES UNTIL
SITUATION CLEARS

Washington, Oct. 26.-Conditions In
northern Mexico. revolving on the new
ascendancy of Villa as a military leader
are commanding more attention than
at any other time since the border raids
which resulted in the dispatch of the
American punitive expedition.
Administration officials made no eff
fort last night to disguise their opinion
that the American Mexican commits
sion sitting at Atlantic City cannot be
expected to arrive at a satisfactory So
luton of border problems until the
situation at Chihuahua has been clari-
fled. Any agreement for the early with
drawal of General Pershing's forces
from Mexico apparently Is considered
now as out of the question.
Moreover, the impression stood out
clearly from all the views expressed
that while the present situation exists
there Is little possibility that the
forces of reg Liars or national guards
men on the border will be reduced. 1t
was indicated that no chances would
be taken of another raid into American
territory.
Coupled with ugly reports which
disparage the stability OF General Car
ranza's regime and interpret his re-
moval from Mexico City to Queretaro
as a sign of the breaking up process
which his enemies have repeatedly
predicted, the military movements of
Villa, now making a formidable cam
