NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-"Francisco Villa
is now in the state Coahuila, Mexico,
formulating plans for the consolidation of
the armies of two Mexican military
chiefs. Their slogan is to be, Re-estab
lish the constitution of 1857" said John
j. Halves of San Antonio, Texas, to a
Times reporter at the National Arts
club.
Mr.. Halves, who three years ago, as
Villas envoy, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to present Villas cause to the au-
thorities at Washington, had with him
letter from Secretary Lansing's office
( inviting him to a hearing. Mr. Halves is
on his way to Washington to picture
Villa and his desires as they are and not
as they have been picturesquely mis-
stated" he said.
Villa has been fighting for cause
that is right and he has never varied in
his efforts" said Mr.. Halves. Il had sew
eral talks with General Felipe Angeles,
who was Knight of the Legion of Honor
of France, and he sincerely believed that
Villa was really a true patriot of Mexico.
1.-TWO weeks ago l spent three hours
with General Villas private secretary at
San antonio. His secretary told me what
Will was doing and outlined what | be-
lev is a constructive program. He wants
to AIRY out his program without inter
fer nee by the United States and in har-
me ny with this government He wants
all foreign property owners to be en-
couraged to develop Mexico, and he is
ready to give military protection to for
eigners in opening up their properties.
His platform includes compulsory edu-
cation and sanitation and the enactment
of a number of radical laws.
''Villa is called a bandit and robber
by the Carranza interests. | hope to
prove that Villa was the direct cause OF
preventing Carranza from raising up an
army to be differed. by Germans for an
attack upon the United States. | have,
myself, had in my hands German COM
missions taken off dead Germans who
had fought Villa. One commission was
for a lieutenant and the other for a
major, and they were issued, not from
the German minister in Mexico, but by
the German war department in Berlin
I'm re-establishing the constitution O
1857, as outlined by Villas secretary, HI
hopes to establish Monroe Doctrine TO
Mexico. He does not want to have an.
foreign alliance. He wants to establish
compulsory training, and believes tina
Mexico must have strong army in orde
to maintain the laws"
Mr.. Halves said that Villa was tn
strongest and biggest factor in Mexic
today and the only man capable of set
Ting the internal problems. He sal
that Villa was hale and hearty toda
and that the only severe wound whic
he had received was bullet in HI
shoulder, which was dressed by doctc
of FL Paso. According to Mr.. Have

M a k s Changes to
Add to Convenience
GOOD Car Made Better,'' Is
Report of Officials After
Dealers and Public Failed
to Off er Suggestions

Many of the changes made in motor
cars are the result of suggestions from
dealers and members of the selling
force. When the Liberty Six was ex-
hlblted at the automobile shows last
year it was noted by company officials
that, although criticisms and suepcs
tlons from the men of the field force
were asked for and welcomed, nothing
OF more than minor nature was forth
coming, and very few even of such
suggestions were made. AS one dealer
SAID: Its too good to be improved. At
least don't know how to better it,"
Nevertheless the 1920 Liberty Six
shows considerable improvement over
previous models, in body lines. in
details of comfort and convenience. and
in features of design and construction.
The wheelbase of the car has been
heightened to 1T inches. 1t was found
possible, also, to revise the body di-
in such a way that more
liberal space is provided in both COM
partments, and a readiustment of these

Other improvements that will cs-

viewpoint of greater convenience are

on the show floors" said Mr.. Pelton.
"Naturally, we are proud of the fact
that every one of them is made by
our company. Other manufacturer
have contracted for heaters, but at
too late date to get them installed
in show cars.
1.-THE day of the heated car is here.
In another year a car heater will be
regarded in the same light as an elec-
tric starter "a necessary part of
standard equipment. There is one bit
OF information I believe it highly i'm
portant for the motoring public to
know. a successful car heater is not
mechanical toy. While not at all
complicated, it does require the same
engineering thought and care in manu-
featuring as any mecl.a nical device.
Zone of the rig facts we proved
to our complete satisfaction in our
seven years experience is that no one
type of heater is suitable to all makes
of cars. This is due to varyin"
