be imagined. The French see in it
a deliberate German policy of cheat
ing the mout of money loaned to
Russia, driving a wadge between
France and England, and finally a
coalition of eastern Europe against
them for military aggression.
The French are fairly insane with
anger, one of the evidences being the
speech of Premier Poincare at Bar
le-Duc.
The British, on the other hand,
while fully appreciating the gravity
of the situation and their responsi
bility in calling the conference, are
determined not to break witn the
Russians if there is any possibility
of avoiding it.
They frankly say they consider
establishing good relations .between
Germany and Russia and the rest of
Europe is so necessary to future
peace that they are willing to con
cede every possible point.
But there is a point beyond which
even the British will not go. That
point is to make a treaty with Rus
sia and give her financial assistance,
at the same time allowing her to
repudiate her debts.
It is pointed out that even if the
allid delegates at Genoa made such
a treaty no allied parliament would
ratify it.
Even now public opinion in both
France and England is becoming in
creasingly antagonistic to the Genoa
negotiations with the Soviets.
When Lord Birkenhead, chancellor
of England, said the situation was
never more delicate hewasnotover
stating the case. It is tragic as well
as delicate.

Mexico on Edge as Pancho Villa
Announces Entry Into Politics
Farm Life On 200,000-Acre
Ranch For Ex-Rebel 1
Leader
EL PASO, Tex., May I. The
announcement that Francisco Villa
intends to run for governorship of
the State of Durango comes on the
eleventh anniversary of his capture
of Juarez, when he was a Maerista
general.
In a little more than 11 years
Villa has been a hunted outlaw, gen
eral of a revolutionary army, dic
tator of Mexico, border raider - and
rancher. This governorship is the
first political office he ever has
sought, although he could have been
president of Mexico had he so
chosen.
Farm life, even if on a tract of
200,000 acres, is irksome to Villa
after having spent 11 years in the
saddle, with the troops most of the
time.
Although he entered into solemn
compact with President Obregon to
“stay put,” in return for which
Villa was given a small kingdom,
riches and peace, it remains to be
seen whether the former dictator
will regard the contract as a mere
scrap of paper. For among the stip
ulations Villa agreed to was one
binding himself to keep out of both
state and national politics.
Won’t Be Bound.
Villa doesn’t like to be bound to
anything. His breaking away from
restraint, his violation of his com
pact, his defiance of the Obregon ad
ministration, coming at the very
time when the United States was
about to extend recognition to Mex
ico, is fraught with grave possibili

ties.
Villa may be induced to withdraw
his candidacy; he may stay in the
race and be defeatd. But Mexican
officials are nervous, for whether
elected or defeated for office, they
fear it will start Villa on another
rampage.
If defeated, he will not take it
kindly. He could do many things in
resentment.
If elected he may want to super
sede federal powers. For Villa is not

‘ THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
content with being an underling.
So there you are—the same old
Villa, same old menace.
Reports from Durango are to the
effect that Villa’s announcement has
caused a furor. There is strong sup
port for Villa and strong opposition,
too, and Mexico is not accustomed to
settling its big issues by ballot. The
State of Coahuila, a neighbor to Du
rango, is also disturbed and the fire,
if not quenched, may spread, for
Mexico hasn't had time yet to drop
the insurrecto habit.
Has Bodyguard of 200.
Villa has a bodyguard of 200 men,
all former soldiers, faithful and good
shots. He has many other employes
on his big ranch. Raising crops and
stock and marketing them may be
profitable but they are not in Villa’s
line. He is not a farmer or ranch
man and subordinates supervise all
the work. The rancn, its many trac
tors and other farm machinery were
toys for a while, but the former dic
tator has grown tired of playing with
them and !• r.gs for a new game—
and it may be the old game, a game
which kept Mexico embroiled end
which all but took in the United
States.
What Obregon will do is not
known. Probably he doesn't know
what to do. If he orders Villa to
stick to his treaty, this might make
an avowed enemy of him. If he
sends a federal army to compel him
to abide by his pledges, this means
war. (
A pretext would be all that Villa
would need. Temporizing with the
Durango rancher also is dangerous.
It all depends upon the ambitions of
the former general.
Villa is fifty, young enough to still
be ambitious.
Mrs. Henderson will be remembered
in Americus as Miss Elmer Bell, a
