is. TACITLY APPROVES
FIGHT ON CARRANzA
Feels That He Has Been Failure
and Looks With Favor on
Coming of Gen. Angeles.

Washington.-Th failure Of Car
rama to cope successfully with the
. .ebcl factions in Mexico, though warn-
I'd b. this government last fall that
Villa was getting rcaCy for an ann
bilious military move this summer,
was declared in diplomatic circles here
to spell the speedy end Of the present
government Of the southern republic
and tacit approval by the United
States government of the Angeles re-
gime.
While the state department is with
holding comment or Villas coup d'eiat
until official adYices have been re-
ceived from the border as TO The cX-
tent of the military operations outs
lined by the Angeles-Villa cOmbila-
tion, the refusal to grant Carranza's
request for the movement Of troops
through United States territory is
taken to indicate that the American
government has decided to decline fur-
finer cooperation with Carranza.
1t likewise developed that fully one-
I:alf of the ammunition that the Unit-
ed States government permitted to
pass into Mexico, had been COM
manlcered by the Villa forces, largely
through the inability of the Carran-
&:@,s TO protect it. ...
This apparent inability Of the Car
rama forces to dea; with the rebels,
coupled with the fact that General
Angeles has in the past been highly
acceptable to this government, led
Mexican observers to predict that the
present military movement against
CarranZa would eliminate soon in his
overthrow and the establishment Of
a stable government.
That Carranza may no longer look
FOR sympathy from this government
was taken for granted. His economic
and financial policy in Mexico, it was
declared, has proved false; lie has
without conjunction tloutcd foreign
nations by his Gil DEGREES, which were
generally declared to he contiscatory,
ana apparently he has been under the
domination of pro-German agents all
during the period OF the war. Since
the exclusion OF Mexico from the
League Of Nations, it was asserted
here CarranZa has been particularly
antagonistic to the United States.
On the other hand, while Villa could
hardly be recognized by this govern
ment, II was pointed out Angeles holds
the respect and confidence Of Amert-
can and allied countries.
