MARCH ON MEXICO CITY

FL Paso, Tex, May 6.-Plans arc
being rapidly formulated today for
the advance of the rebel army OF co.
900 or more men southwark on Mex
leo City from Juarez, with the object
of ovcrthrowing President Carranza.
"Pancho" villa, bandit leader, who
several days ago declared he would
not support the revolution because II
is backed by General Obregon, ap-
parently has undergone a change OF
heart. for word was received here to-
day that he has Joined the rebels with
his force of 1000 men.
1t is announced by the rebel lead
ers that the advance Will start with
5000 men from Chihuahua. and that

Grandes to proceed to Juarez to join
the general mobilization of rebel
forces were conceled early today.

der will begin Immediately, with drug
smugglers as the first to go.

MEXICAN REBELS WANT

SACO Tex. May 6.-Past insults

Carranza regime have not ben indors-

declared here by Gov. Adolfo de

In an interview with an Interna-
tional News Service correspondent
Gov. dc la Hucrta said:

writer, Unconcerned Over
Killing.
(continued from First Page.)

| Cancellation, Austin said, was being
considered by him despite a confess
| sion made by his wife. eight months
| ago, that she had been 1nfaithful
| and was about to become mother.
Austin, however. had refused to
| life at Manassas with his wife as long
| as Davis remained here. II was the
| refusal of Davis to leave Manassas,
| and carry out promises he Is alleged
to have made at the point OF a re-
| volver, that led up to the killing OF
the ice AID fuel merchant here Tues
day night.
Austin told states Attorney Thomas
II. Lyon, of Prince William county,
who will prosecute him, that he drove
with Davis to the edge of Manassas
and demanded that the latter leave
town. declaring, ''you are rubbing
against a gun"
Husband Tricked.
"Austin was deIuded into believing
Davis was responsible for the condi-
ton of Mrs. Austin" said friend
of the slain man today. other friends
of Davis declare he confided in them
that he had been singled out by Aus
tin.
Davis never kept secret from his
wife the charges that had been made
against him. Mrs. Davis faith and
loyalty in her husband never faltered.
despite the fact that she had heard
of the domestic triangle which even
tually resulted in death. Since the
sh ooting, Mrs. Davis has been pros
trated and under the care of a ply
stefan.
Austin had courted his wife since
she was fourteen years old. He mar
ried her at Manassas, in 1918. He is
a decided cripple, having no use of
his legs. Soon after their marriage,
the couple went to Baltimore and
adopted a baby boy from an orphan
asylum. When Mrs. Austin Ia alleged
to have confessed her infdelity, the
baby was returned to the asylum. and
Mrs. Austin went to Washington.
Promises Speedy Trinl.
Davis who is a son of r. II. Davis.
of Bristow, Va, came to Manassas a
number of years ago. Everyone knew
him as a frank man. and person OF
good business judgment. Since the
controversy with Austin. he had been
on the verge of selling out his ice
and fuel business. He had sold his
home. but was planning to buy an
other, apparently changing his mind
about leaving Manassas under a cloud.
states Attorney Lion said today
he would call special grand jury to
indict Austin early next month, and
that the confessed slayer would be
brought speedily to trial.
1t is expected, however. to be diff.
cult to get a jury to convict Austin.
Sentiment seems divided as to Aus
tins responsibility. The charge he
makes that Davis broke up his home.
and the fact he is a cripple are ex-
pected to create sympathy for him.

CITIZENSHIP CHEAP
IN BALKAN STATES

Constantinople, June 19.-Citizen-
ship is a commercial commodity which
is hawked about in the cities of the
Levant with an Indifference which
makes westerners wonder whether the
mixed commercial populations OF e
eastern cities r capable Of patriot
ism and devotion to any country.
An American business man in Con-
stantinople who was recently employ
ing some agents asked many appli-
cants what their citizenship was.
Without exception the men produced
passports from most of the Balkan
states and expressed a willingness to
feign any citizenship which might be
necessary and to change as circum-
stances might demand. When the
American expressed surprise they as
sured him it was very easy to get pa
pers fixed up for a consideration.
Most Of the Levantines who had
German and Austrian citizenship have
very speedily taken Czecho-Slovak
papers or say they have become Jugo-
Slavs. 1t is just as easy for them to
change their nationality as it is for
the chameleon to change his colors.
Many Levantine firms have shuf1ed
the citizenship Of their members in
such a manner as to have no difficulty
IN meeting n business emergencies
which may arise, and make claims on
the various consular and diplomatic
representatives for assistance in their
commercial operations.
The fashion in citizenship changes
In Constantinople and other near east
ern ports just as the styles in hats.
Greek citizenship has recently become
very popular because OF the good
treatment Greece had at the hands of
fthe peace conference and the general
belief that Great Britain is definitely
behind Greek commercial. interests
and expects to do its business largely
through Greek Intermediates.
