MEXICO TRIES HARD

Obregon May Oppose Carranza For

Republic

! Washington. Jan. 2e.--The report
that General Benjamin Hill had an

General Alvaro Obregon will be a
candidate In opposition to President

more TO the front rumors and coun-
ter rumors of plans having 10 do with
Mexican affairs
Fer weeks the report has been cur
rent in Washington that General 9bre-
gon during his visit to Washington
two months ago, discussed the Mexi-
can situation at length with Ameri-
can officials and that he won the
officers.
American officers concerned with
the war plans division of the army
are known to have high regard for
Obregon and this has given rise to the
belief that should Carranza's admins
tration be assailed by revolution and
Ohregon take the field in an effort to
establish a stable government. he
would have the sympathy OF leaders
in American m,li'~ circles.
Many of the statements relative TO
obregon's status in Washington have
been authenticated 70 such degree
that in some quarters 1t is held he
has the tacit promise of powerful in
terests that. should he make progress
in estahl' shing a government In Mex
leo, he could depend upon financial ala
from Americans, and that If he should
call for intervention and aid from the
United states government, certain
leaders would do their utmost to
bring official action in. his support.

the most delicate and difficult point
of the whole problem. If the reply
be in the affirmative, we would I'M
doubtedly have an easy method of
solving theoretically each question of
nationality. We should merely have
to And some simple method of put
ting the question to a vote In the dis
puted areas thus allowing the people
to decide to what state they wish. to
owe allegiance.
We would. however. run the danger
of turning the map of Europe into "a
thing of shreds and patches
In many parts such an arrange
ment would create an tnextricable
confusion of states. especially in the
frontier districts where the popula-
ton usually is extremely mixed.
Union With Mother Countries.
Germany colonies in Russia. or
italian colonies in North and South
America, for instance, might demand
n union with their respective mother
countries. The Albanians in Sicily
might express a desire for a union
with the future state of Albania. while
the Slavs inhabiting the Udine dis
tricts might likesise claim the right
TO become part OF greater Serbia,
which is Of course, absurd.
The difficulty is not a small one and
the only satisfactory solution ~
offered by Mazzinfs theory. which
| enunciates the principle that a nation
| must. as far as possible endeavor to
organize an entity, both geographic
calfy and economically. with sharply
defined and permanent frontiers.
Small foreign populations like those
OF the German colonies in Russia and
| the numerous European colonies in
America, living in the midst of an
other nation. must form a part of the
nation which affords them hospitality
i and they have no right to attempt to
separate themselves from it,
Briefly. the geographical unity
| contiguity of each country must cor
respond az far as possible with the
! political and cultural unity. and when
| 1t is impossible to draw frontiers in
accordance with both these principles
the prevailing factor must be that one
of the two uniues which secures to
the peoples on either side the safest
frontiers, n minimum OF injustice and
VIGILANCE and a maximum OF guaran-
| tees for universal peace.
If two races can act together for
their own welfare by agreeing to sac
rifice political and linguistic unity to
geographical unity, there is every
prospect of their being able to live
peaceably together. II two races,
however. are unable to do 30, war Ia
almost inevitable. and force alone liz
| the deciding factor. In such a case
the doctrines and principles of equity
are ineffective.

TWO hundred persons walked down

Church People Vex RilIy.
Intimntion that his patience with
the indifference OF the church people

when Sunday appealed to them to
come on down and take his hand. and
renew their covenants with God.
Some of them hesitated. He called
upon them again. II call on the

cried. Come on down." And his

No let-up in the never-ending
crowd was seen at the special 4 o'clock
service yesterday afternoon, when Mr..
Sunday agreed to preach an extra SER
mon for the benefit Of crowds that
had not been able to get into the
auditorium to hear him before. He
addressed them for an hour or moro

yelled at them: wait minute there.
