OF CAPTURE OF THIS I'M
PoRTANT CITY.
FEDERAL TROOPS DESERT
1t Is Expected That Villa viii Now

Many Changes in officers
Made BY Carranza.

Washington.-Conf of the
reported capture of the city of Chi

by the Mexican rebel forces. received
here by the state department, placed
a more serious aspect on the revolt
against Carranza than has heretofore
prevailed While the stability of the
Carranza government is not officially
regarded as threatened, it is recog-
nized that the movement against the
present Mexican government is get.
ting out of hand.
The capture OF Chihuahua is inter
preted as meaning that villa forces
will soon be operating from Torreon
and that the important places of Par
raj and Jiminez are also in the power
of the rebel forces.
Reports from Mexico City indicate
that the Carranza government is fast
approaching state OF panic. Various
changes in commanding officers are
being made and the constantly re.
ported desertions of federal troops is
causing concern.
The Mexico City newspapers which
are received here apparently published
under the influence of the censor, con
tain many sarcastic utterances com
mon to Mexican newspaper methods
when the censor does not permit open
discussion of news events. 1t is an
ticipated that the general disseniLa
tion of the capture of Chihuahua City
will have an important psychological
effect from which the rebel forces
hope to benefit
State Department officials have nc
information as to the number oi
Americans who may be In chiiluahus
City. There is some anxiety over the
report that many Americans repre-
senting mining interests are there, IN
view Of the fact that 200 carranzaistz
resisted the captuse OF the city BY the
rebels and mirror engagement en-
sued.

THE editor is popularity supposed
to see everything, hear everything,
know everything and publish
everything that is going on. But
sometimes he doesn't see it
doesn't want to see it-because,
being an editor and trained to
weigh all angles Of every question,
he knows that it IS better for the
-ommunity if he does not see it.
There are many things the editor
does not publish because they con-
tain no element of news, are dis

and their publication could serve
no good purpose. Sometimes the
editor IS criticised for his forbear-
