ir.4rCi.Y(; ASD WAITING
The Mexican situation lias
assumed a condition of watching
and waiting. Both sides have
agreed to arbitration and are
waiting to see what kind of
terms can he agreed upon, or
whether an agreement can be
reached or not.
Sentiment at the Mexican
Capital is changing according
to report, ami a rebel demon
stration which was pulled off in
Mexico City seems to have taken
most of the courage out of
Huerta who is reported to have,
hidden in one of the foreign em-1
ba.-sies to save his life, or rather ;
in fear that his life was in j
danger. I
If these reports are true it is!
very probable that an agreement!
can be reached as Huerta will
not likely be over exacting in 1
his demands. I
Strained relations are reported
l)ftween Villa, the Constitution
alist general, and Carranza, the
constituted head of the rebel
movement, over the attitude
each has taken in regard to the
injection of United States inter
ference with Huerta's insolence
and insults to this government.
Carranza demanded the with
drawal of the U. S. troops on
the ground that it was an insult
to the Mexican nation, which
has caused Villa and others
much trouble to explain away
the apparent unfriendly attitude
of the rebel leader. Villa as
sumes a friendly attitude and
this seems to make the misun
derstanding. Villa has shown by achieve
ment that he is the backbone of
the rebtl movement and were he
eliminated from the rebel cause
it would wane. But, on the
other hand, were Carranza to
drop out there would be very
little or no perceptible difference
in the advancement of the rebel
His statement is further inter
esting because it indicates that
Villa wants no trouble with the
United States. He realizes that
American intervention in Mexi
co would sound the death knell
to his plans and his ambitions.
He hopes above all things that
the United States will retire from
Mexican soil and leave events
to take their own course. N'atur
allv he would not object to the
elimination of Huerta, but he
fears that if the matter is carried
that far it will not stop there,
and he probably feels amply
ning side. ( )regonia n

The Status of Villa
General Villa's statement that
he will decline to be dragged in
to a war with the United States
by anybody is interesting for
two reasons. For one thing it
supplies proof of what everyone
already knew that Villa is the
real head of the constitutionalist
movement. Carranza supposed
ly Villa's chief had issued a
statement in which hevdeclared
that he could construe the occu
pation of Vera Cruz by the
United States iu no other way
than as an insult to the Mexican
nation, and implying that all
Mexicans must unite to oppose
the common foe. Now comes
Villa with a statement that he
will not be dragged into war
with the United States by any
one. In effect he says that Car
ranza has talked too much but
that what he has said must not
be taken as important because
he has not the power to enforce
An interesting point has been
raised by an ex-convict iu Rhode
Island, the decision of which by

convict labor. He maintains
that he was not a slave when im
prisoned and that therefore the
state had no right to sell his la
bor to a contractor. The Nation
al Committee on Prison Labor,
which is backing him, maintains
that a convict should be paid
decent wages for the benefit of
bis family. The question is
asked whether he may not sue
for more pay if the state sells his
labor to a contractor for less
than its market value Daily
