ers. TORRKON', Aug. 14. (By Ralph
Turner, I. P. Staff Correspondent.)
Humors of a hitch In the plans for the
complete surrender of Villa and de
mobilization of his army was circulat
ed here today. -Disarmament and dis
banding of Villa's force at Tlahua Ulo,
Durango. have been postponed a week.
General Martinez and the govern
ment representatives in the surrender
negitiations suddenly returned to
Mexico City.
It Is learned that Martinez disagreed
with the proposal that in addition
to armed guards of fiO men which the
government allows Villa to retain he
should also take 150 more reformed
bandits to hi ranch as laborers.-
Martinez pointed out that under
such an arrangement, Villa would al
ways have 200 soldiers at his disposal
and could go on the war path when
ever he felt like it. The government
has already consented that 250 Vlllista
officers could keep their weapons and
ammunition.
At Villas request the tiny village of
Tlahuatilo was chosen for the final
surrender and it will be staged there
unless hostilities are resumed during
the coming "week or Villa changes hit
mind again. It has evidently been de
cided that final ceremonies will be
held in some Isolated place. Vetoing
suggestions that his men lay dowr,
arms where large crowds could see the
surrender, Villa is believed to fear that

WHEELING, W. Va., Aug. 14.
(By Herbert W. Walker. U. P. Staff
Correspondent) Governor Cox. In a
speech full, of direct attacks on ths
republican leadership, pledges it as the
purpose of the democratic party "to
put into practical operation after
March 4," a definite plan "that will
make wars more difficult in the fu
ture."
Speaking before the democratic
state convention here, the candidate
praised the purpose of the League of
Nations as a "very definite program of
action which we pledged,' indirectly
promising ratification of the treaty
Without continuing months of use
less discussion."
After declaring that the democratic"
party "must render good faith" to the
nation's soldiers and its allies. Cox
said the campaign is purely a matter
of concluding a duty to civilisation.
Lower living costs will follow the
carrying out of bis pledge fo a two
billion reduction of governmental ex
penditures and taxes, he said. Cox
charged the "powerful combination of
Interests now attempting to buy govr
ernment control." is using the huge
campaign fund to "arouse racial dis
content, to breed unrest and befog the
public mind."
