MEXICAN NEWS SERVICE.

While this gay ard giddy worio sets a mighty fast pace .hese days for us to follow even With our minds eye, there are two CT three things that cccae.oa thinking even among the though'lcss and attract attention juct because Of the charac, teristic manner ir which they stand out.
 Tako tha Mexican situation for example. Here are thcso United States the political federation of a free peoples, governing themselves or thinking the do and technically at any rate their say-so heinz the supreme law of the land simply be- cause voX populi is supposed by those who never heard the other tc be identical with vcX dei.
 How many people are informed as to whct has been going on in Mex ico since Pershing entered it to chase Villa? What people on earth served as gre these United States with such a discordGnt and discrep- ant reports of what is happening could pretend to have even an indis- tinct knowledge of what is actually happening.
 Reports of the widest ;ype have been persistently circulated Villa was well, Villa was wounded, Villa was dead, Villa was sound and in perfect -Carranza's generals were mutinying and with powerful forces were for attacking Amer icans-this garrison had been con trolled only with tho greatest effor. -Mexicans were concentrating to drive back Pershing con templated joining hands with every other faction to crush the American nvasion-CarranZa was at outs with his generals and had fled to the capital where only one was loyal Gutierrez had assured CarranZa from Chihuahua that they had the situa, tion well under control and had de feated Pablo Lopez whose doad body was identified moro than month ago in the streets of Columbus when the raiding Mexicans had retired.
 All these things and lot more have been literally thrown at the people as correct intelligence. today contradicting yesterdays reports and tomorrow's both yesterdays and to- days.
 Obviously and most clearly that is not done for nothing. Tho Mexican situation is one that has many phases in which important policies are involved, the chiefest of whicf. is intervention. It is the inter- ventionist interests which are at some pains to compel the idea throughout the Uaited States that Carranza is impossible. that his generals are merely each the head of factional unit and that order can be only brought about when the American troops swoop down in hordes to control and conquer and administer the country.
 The Mexican situation just now is dark and mysterious beyond what it has ever before been, not from the suppression of all news but from the deliberate dissemination of news that was and is entirely false-that is so outrageously and deliberately and unashamedly false that those responsible for the stories nave neither hesitation nor reluctance to invent tomorrow an additional can ard which will controvert or conflic, with that of yesterday.
 That surely is striking situation. The official reports are censored. and there is no confidence mani fasted between the administration ami the people. What a bowling roar went up when the war broke out in Europe when multitude of American critics blamed the curse OI secret diplomacy and the blight of the censor? Yet is it any worse that these peoples of this country should be placed at the mercy of all kinds of narrow interests whj coatrol the press services of the land while the truth is allowed to pass through in an attentuated and highly filtered dropping from the of
