separate but there is no such thing as , divorce This will lead to religious | freedom. 1
 With men like CarranZa and Obre- 1 gon the great and good things come i All the national lands that were taken | away from the people during the DlaZ ! administration will be given back to them and will place them in living ! condition. This will necessitate re- vision of the title of lands and those who cannot show good title will have to give up the property. The cities will be given democratic form of government. Each municipality will , be free to elect its own officers and conduct it's affairs without dictation from the state government
 Senor Garcia commended President Wilson's policy with Mexico Tt is just and right and has brought us in closer relations. We have always done our duty to foreigners. There is not an American who laments the acts of the bandits as I do. Think what it ; has done to our own people-the thou sands living out of worl-the others WnO are QeaQ.
 Senor Garcia takes the greatest pride in General CarranZa's accom- plishments of the past year. He drew attention to the Villa of twelve months ago with his army of 60,0O0 and com pared him with the Villa of today | with his thirty or forty men,
 "The war ended with the conference | M f ber" said the man who signed the pact 1 for General CarranZa. AS represen- | tative of the government l made the arrangements. The pact was signed by Generals Graby, Manuel Banda, Joauin Ferrazas, Fidel Avila and Col onels Paliza and Andalon, and the sur render was unconditional. They were given a guaranty of their lives and will not be prosecuted for political of fense. Although by the terms of the pact they had no right to transporta tion, General CarranZa and General 1 Obregon were most generous with the , rank and file. The soldiers were not only given transportation but sl0 in gold and $20 in constitutiOnalist mon ey. The Zapata generals surrendered | with couple of hundred With the surrender of the eastern forces there were very close to 14,000 men. They delivered to us 14,000 rifles, fourteen cars of extraditional rifles and ammu- milton scattered between JuareZ and Chihuahua. By closing that deal We saved from destruction 1000 empty cars, 200 engines and between 200 and
 300 passenger coaches. The railroad
 track was intact which enabled us to run through trains to the City of
 Mexico eight days after the pact was
 signed"
 The consul said his visit in Arizona
 was for the purpose of looking into the
 conditions of the 4000 Mexican citi-
 zens in this state. He investigated the situation in Clifton and is of the opin- ion that the mining companies are willing to better conditions and that
 the miners are more willing to work
 The striker or the strikebreaker looked
 alike to him-it was all in the interests
 of his people. He returned to Fl Paso
 last night satisfied with the word he
 takes to General CarranZa from this
 state.
 Next to Washington. the Fl Paso consulate is the highest Mexican con- , sular post in this country. Senor Gar
 cia, who has given satisfaction to ihs chief, is a self-made man. One years
 schooling is all that he has had Ye, he speaks English fluently and is wei
 versed in art and literaturesas well as
 in politics.
