While Villa's promises have not the value in Washington that was ac corded to them a year ago, lt still seems likely that his offer to com promise with Carranza will receive a certain amount of moral support here, it ls generally believed that Villa bas placed a better face on hiu posi tura than has Ca.-ranza. who stands absolutely unyielding, asserting that he 1B the person authorized by the Mexican people to rule the country provisionally.

He was about 35 years old cad until a little more titan a year ago he devoted himself entirely to peaceful work, taking up soldiering only when he felt that the needs of Mexico-a living wage for the Mexicans, schools for the young and a safe government demanded bis services.
