highest commentator. His holiness

all those who further the Catholic ex-
tension OF the Scout movement under
the auspices of the ecclesiastical author

well defined reports reaching here to-
day.
Followers OF Francisco Villa said he
had been agreed upon as the military
leader by the revolutionists on the east
coast of Mexico and by southern reb-
els
The revolutionists, it was said, plan
east coast, and their chief aim at pres
ent is to obtain control of the Mexican
OF districts where they would set up
their de facto government Gen. Man
uel Palaez, who has control of the dis
trict outside what Carranza holds, has
not yet agreed to the proposal Of tine
other revoTutionists but Is said to have
expressed willingness to consider it.
The revolutionists are said to have
decided that the government they would
set up would have greatest opportunity
for success and recognition by foreign
governments II they could take the oil
districts, put their government into op-
Grafton give guarantees and protection
to foreigners and foreign interests and
cut the CarranZa government off from
source of great revenue and dispute.

The plan further calls for the seizure
of the east coast of Mexico by the rev.
olutionists as rapidly as possible.
