OFFICIALS WORRIED BECAUSE IMfs HAS PRACTICALLY REVOLTED AGIST CARRAHZA-WILL COMPLICATE PROBLEM Supplies For Uncle Sam's Men Guarding Eastern Mexico Thirty Carranzistas Arrested and Sent to Torreon Where Rebel General Is Believed to BeCensorship of Telegrams a Cause of Dissatisfaction PREDICTION IS MADE THAT CONSTITUTION ALIST CHIEFTAIN WILL BE THE MASTER Denials of Break Not Accepted Because Similar Seizures Were Made at Other Mexican Cities Simultaneously With One at Juarez-Revolt Is Bloodless Washington, June 17. Despite the denial attributed to General Villa of any intention to break with General Carranza, administration officials here were much worried today by the news that followers of Villa had deposed the Carranzistas in authority at Juarez and put themselves in their places. Thia minnsinpss was not lessened bv vague reports of similar proceedings farther south of the border or by tho dtory that Villa had summoned tho com manders of garrisons throughout the territory he controls to report to him at Torreon. State department agents on the border were instructed to report ! nt oneo and in full concerning the sit-j nation. ! The Mexican constitutionalist junta was without news but its members said if any friction realty existed, they were! sure General C'arranza 's diplomacy j would smooth matters out. FriendB Deny Break. I El Paso, Texas, June 17.T-Frieuds of j General Villa denied here today on his! behalf they said, that he had broken with General Carnanza. His subordinates' seizures of the con- stitutionalist bureau of information and telegraph offices in Juarez and the ar rest of the C'arranzista officials in Charge of them, it was explained, were due to a misinterpretation of orders Rent by Villa to Colonel Ornelas, who was in military command at Juarez. It was stated with much emphasis that Villa had no intention of causing a breach in the rebel ranks. Despite this declaration by Villa's frinn.U .10 Carranzista officials who were arrested at Ornelas. order were j dent today to Torreon where Villa wasi supposed to be. These were Perez Abren, who had charge of the information bureau, tele graphers who were handling messages from the front and employes in the custom house and treasury, which Ornela also seized. Censorship A Cause. It was understood one of the causes of Villa's reported dissatisfaction with - Carranza's handling of constitutionalist ing why it seemed necessary to him to of the formers telegrams and many be lieved his reason for wanting the oper ators at Torreon was to learn from tne.m who was responsible for holding up nis wire correspondence. The concensus of opinion here was that, when the situation clears, Villa will be found in control throughout northern Mexico. Coup Not Understood. The general plan of which the coup here was thought to be a part of were not yet thoroughly understood but there was a rumor that a statement .nm Villo tn the American Dress was on its wav from Torreon to Juarez explain resigned his army command to become act against C'arranza and setting forth his own and his men's attitude. The statement from Saltillo that Villa resigned his army command to Decoe governor of the state of Chihuahua was not generally credited. One account was ho determined to tnL-p thn rninq nf authority from Car- rauza's hands because of an attempt on his superior's part to induce General Angeles to take over the command Villa hiw hitherto held. Angeles, though secrotary of war in Carranza's ; cabinet, is a supporter of Villa and it was said he refused to supplant the ' latter. I Should the Niagara Falls conforees chooso a Mexican provisional president, Angeles was understood to be Villa's candidate. I One reason why the denials that j Villa has broken with C'arranza were nnf nanornllv ncrenterl here was that I incidents similar to me one ai uuoic. were reported to have been enacted at Torreon, Chihuahua City and Jiminez. Ornelas, it was remarked, might have misinterpreted his orders but it was hardly likely the commanders ai omer points would have made the same mistake. Revolt Bloodless. Villa's own American lawyer here was authority for the statement that all books, papers' and records relating to the constitutionalist governmrut's business in cities as far south as Tor reon were seized simultaneously with tho seizure at Juarez. Tha ravnh ao-ninst Carranza. if there really has been a revolt, has been bloodless thus far. The telegrapn was I .nr,',n ma naual ftxeent that - new operators manned the wires. Trains were running according to schedule. Everything seemed to DC moving norm ally." But not a word concerning hap penings south of Juarez was permitted to leak. 5 (ratas - K-vs r. &i '-WW5 BLIND GIRL TAKES POISON BELIEVE GIRL KILLED SELF Blind Singer Was Friend of Helen Keller and.

The upper class Turks hope to profit by a war. The masses have not been educated up to the occidental point of asking themsulves what they will get out of it. The whole country naturally feels deeply the humiliatiou of its recent de feat by the Ualkan allies. The feeling is general that to some extent this can K uiiiip.l nut hv a successful campaign. Tho people want t oshow the world that the yean really light. Even the rank and file realize that they were sent into the Balkan struggle unprepared. Much confidence Is felt in Envor Pasha, better known as Enver Hey, who has been war minister for the past few months. It is pretty generally .i...ut,in,i thnt. Enver believes the Turks can beat the Greeks. His admir ers are sure ho would not thins, tnis u he had not good reason for it. Believe Turks Will Rise. . It is pointed out, too, that in the territory Grcese wrcstod from the sul tan thore still livo thousands of Turks. The people here are confident these turks will rise against the conquerors as soon as hostilities are declared. Probably they are right in this opinion; That the Greeks' former aiilies will interfere in the struggle, If one comes, is deemed more than unlikely. They were completely exhausted oj iot fight with Turkey which, though beat en with far greater resources and much larger numbers than their enemies, were by no means so badly broken as the latter by the Human war. powers Are jeaious. r..:th. rlfi thn sultan's advisors think the powers will Intervene. It is realized mat tne powers ui fighting in the Balkans but it is also appreciated that thoy are so jealous of one another and so feirful that they themselves will become Involved, that they will hesitate a long time before attempting to take a hand in the affair. No well-informed Turk tries to hide that in this case, Turkey will be forcing hostilities. Their view is that Greece, among tho Balkan allies, attacked Turkey at its own convenience, and that now it is time for Turkey to suit its own interests in attacking Greece.
