ONLY OBSERVER
IN mex. REVOLT

Washington, April 22.-Reports
both to the state and war depart
ments today continued to support
the unofficial dispatches that have
told Of the rapidly increasing array
of revolt in Mexico. Administra-
ton officials studied them carefully
but without betraying any indica-
ton that the position of this gov
ernment would be other than that
of an observer.
The movement begun by the Sc
cession of Sonora has gained sup
port OF at least four other states,
the adherence OF various groups OF
federal forces and the promises by
Villa, Manuel Palaez and one or
two other minor rebel chiefs that
they will Join in the fight on Car
rama, the reports showed.
So far as could be learned here.
Carranza has made no overtures to
the American government for as
sistance. The presence here Of Cen
eral Salvatore Alverez, as the per-
sonal representative Of General
Obregun, leader of the new revolt,
has not brought from the admins
tration any sign Of It's willingness
to recognize the belltgerency OF the
anti-governmsnt group.
One small hope was offered to-
day In the announcement. that a
mission from Mexico City was on
It's way to Sonora for a conference
with the leaders there.

M|LLERAND FOR
U. s. ADVICE IN
TURK PROBLEM

San Reno, April 22.-Alexandre
Millerand, the French premier, re-
ceived the American newspaper
correspondents of whom II are
here, and talked freely about peace
conference affairs.
"Our friendship with the Ameri-
can people," he said, did not begin
with 1914. but very long before that
and before you brought US the de-
cisive help in the war, which now
is such a precious recollection.
II regret we could not have the
direct active cooperation of the
United States government in the
preparation of the Turkish treaty
here, but l am sure America will
not stand apart always from Euro
pean affairs. l regret much more
that the United States does not
participate in the discussion OF
Germany's treatment of the treaty
of Versailles, which will be consid-
cred tomorrow"
The Official statement issued by
the supreme council at the close Of
the morning session says:
"The supreme council assembled
today at IL a. m. and heard the
opinion of military and naval ex-
perts on questions regarding the
administration Of the Dardenneles
straits. The council approved the
insertion of clauses relating to this
matter in the Turkish peace treaty.
The council afterwards examined
the present situation in the Cau-
caSsus."
