VILLA AND CARRANZA.

It is not hard to understand the
motive that actuated Villa in his in
cursion into the United States ter
ritory. He was down and out. He
hated Carranza because Carranza had
beaten him. He hated the United
States because its recognition of
Carranza had no little influence on
the result. Like most lower class
Mexicans he hated all Americans on
general principles.
villa was, of course, aware that the
patience of the United States was
well nigh exhausted and that his in
road would, almost to certainty
be followed by counter invasion Of
some kind. This would involve Car
rama with the United States if he
resisted, or in all probability with his
own people if he acquiesced. Hence
Villas course.
Carranza would no doubt have
been glad, before now, to have the
active assistance of the United States
in running down villa; but he could
not afford to ignore the jealousy with
which the Mexicans view any inter
ference by the United States in their
affairs. jealousy which might easily
lead to his own overthrow if his own
position in the matter became sub
iect to question. This may account
for his numerous warnings to the
United States, which were probably
intended, more or less, for domestic
effect.
1t is to be regretted that the Uni
ted States is compelled. for its own
protection, to play somewhat to

WASHINGTON co. FOR RYE.

The Democracy Of Washington
county is to be commended for its en-
phatic endorsement of Gov. Rye for
a second term. There are especial
reasons why the other counties
should hasten to follow this example.
The cause of the late party diris-
ion is too we'll known for repetition.
In 1914 the party made heroic, eff
fort to retrieve its fortunes. Ii re-
pudiated the influences that had been
it's undoing and nominated Rye upon
a platform calling for prohibition and
law enforcement. The people took
its promises at par value and return
ed it to power.
There were, Of course, those who
hoped that the platform would not
be taken too seriously; and when it
dawned upon them that Rye was
going to be real governor and car
ny out the party pledges consterna-
ton reigned. His determination to
vindicate the majesty of the law in
Memphis regardless of consequences
was the last straw, and his downfall
was Immediately decreed.
The plan seems to have been to
secure as many uninstructed delega-
tions as possible from the extra-ur'
ban counties and to turn the trick at
the convention before the guilcless
Rye supporters knew what had hap
pened. But the alarm has been sound
ed, and Washington county has
struck the scheme solar plexus
blow.
A failure to renominate Gov. Rye
would be not merely rank injustice
to him but a political blunder as
well. 1t would amount to rebuke
to him for redeeming our solemn
promises and would be an admission
of insincerity of purpose. The time
has passed in Tennessee when any
man can be elected governor on a
platform that does not ring true on
prohibition and reinforcement; and
his name is mud who is elected on a
law-enforcement platform and fails
to make good The mal-contepts
should as well look the facts in the
face.

meant it.

Villas hand; for Carranza would
gladly have put an end to Villas op-
erations long ago if he could have
done so. But since Carranza seems
unable to master the situation the
United States must do so.
If Carranza really has the inter-
ests of Mexico at heart his true
course is to secure an understanding
with the United States that will make
of it an ally rather than an invader,
and to cooperate promptly with all
available troops in the effort to cap
ture Villa so as 10 render unneces-
sary any deep penetration into Mex
leo by United States troops; for if
the purpose of the United States can
be accomplished without offense to
Carranza's followers Carranza's own
problem will be solved.
Carranza seems to realize the pos
sibilities of the situation and to de,
sire to avail himself of them. His
proposal to the United States for re-
ciprocal privileges in pursuit OF
criminals across the border, and its
prompt acceptance by the United
States, will go far to satisfy Mexican
pride and secure hearty cooperation
by Carranza adherents in the pur-
suit of Villa. 1t will be of little con
sequence to the United States since
the privilege applies only to case.

BASES INSTEAD OF SUPPLY
SHIPS FOR SUBMARINES

Washington, d. C.-Sixteen sub
marine bases, divided between the
Atlantic and Pacific, are among pro-
jects in the naval preparedness pro-
gram, Admiral Stanford testified
Friday before the House naval COM
mittee. He said the department al
ready has made plans for a submar-
inc base at Pearl Harbor. The first
Atlantic base is to be at New Lon
don, Conn. Sites for others have not
been selected.
The sixteen bases will cost $10,-
100000 and $12,00,O00 and when
completed the submarine supply
ships will be abandoned.
Admiral Stanford also said the
government is justified in spending
$500, 900 for oil tank stations and
pumping lines for naval purposes, as
planned by the navy general board.
A system of underground storage
tanks is planned.
Claims of New Orleans and Mo-
bile for location of southern naval
base and dry dock were presented to
the committee.
After three weeks of testimony
Admiral Stanford's examination
was concluded Friday. In past years
his testimony has not extended over
two days.

nation freely and expressed great
SURPRISE" as did leading House

before which he appeared, and am
glad he was named"
