Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican -commission, ss.d he believed a settlement would be reached within a few days. He went to Philadelphia: again late today, where it is under- j stood he will confer with Rafael Nie- i to. snb-S;'crptary of the Department of j Finance of Mexico, of which Mr. Cab-j rera is the head. Mr. Cabrera announced to the Amer- j ican commissioners that GVn. Carranza J had extended to January 14 the time j Hvnn mine owners for reopening their j o - _ _ properties. j In the eve-t of an a^rrment being] formed for the withdrawal of the American troops, it probably will not j stipulate t_hat they be brought out of j Mexico immediately, hut that they b-1 recalled within a reasonable time, perhaps within sixty or ninety days. It is believed that the withdrawal at any time will be made subject to conditions at that time. That Gen. Carranza is sincere in hi3 efforts to drive Villa and his followers from the field is not doubted by the American commissioners, altftougn; they have been keenly interested in i what apparently was the inability o! the present Mexican army to accomplish that purpose. News today that Gen. Murgia had ben selected to sue- j ceed Gen. Jacinto Trevino in charge of operation in the north was received by the Americans as further evidence of Carranza's determination to force the campaign against his northern enemies. | To Overcome Yilla. I El Paso, Nov. 13.?Andres Garcia, inspector general of Carranza consulates in the United States, declared tonight that the present movement of Carranza forces into the State of Chihuahua ~ i Al? j ^ had no other sienmcance man rue uetermination of the Oarranza government to pursue and overcome Villa and his bandits. "The reports in army circles in El Paso that those troons were hems: brought north to enfofcp anv demand that might be made for the withdrawal of the American expeditionary forces; from Mexico is without foundation."

E-68 "THE FLOWEB OF NO MAN'S LAND" "The Flower of No Man's Land'' is the captivating title of the first MetroColumbia feature photo-play presenting to Metro patrons that winsome little star, Viola Dana. John J. Collins *? ?-si iu:. nas written ana airecuiu mis u?auuful production especially for Miss Dana. It brings into vivid contrast the arid wastes of the rGeat American Desert and the simplicity of far-Western ways, and the sophisticated, complex existence of the boxholders in the "Diamond Horse-shoe" at the Metropolitan Opera House. Miss Dana bas no superior in the portrayal of emotion, and as "The. Flower of Xo Man's Land ' she has every opportunity to display this power, for fate plays strange pranks with the confiding, simple child of the mining camp. But the little star's "power to show the humorous side of life is just as great, and thore are many scenes which will keep the audience in an uproar. Kahoma, an Indian, finds in the heart of the desert. Baby Echo, lying by the side of her murdered father. He brings her up tenderly and she becomes-the one bright spot in the lives of the rough men of the mining camp. Roy Talbert, reigning teor of the grand opera, loses his voice during a triumph in "Pagliacci." He goes West to recuperate. How1 he wins the simple heart of Echo to the deep sorrow of Big Bill, who loves her, how h.e shows his desirable nature* and ihow his very villiany is the means of winning back freedom and liappiness to the little "Flower of No Man's Land" is shown In this colorful ro l sijiilill '1''^ ' | If! if} I Pride Without jjjjHjj j Extravagance! | ill 111; You will be proud of i;i j your Maxwell.
