Carranza Still Raules Mexieo City, but With
Machine Guns Perched on the Housetops and
Lurking Around Street Corners.
WASHINGTON, June 14—As Eu-.
rope subsides as a scene of interest
because of the return of peace, Mex
jco takes the “spotlight” through the
recurrence of bloodshed, revolt and
plunder in that unhappy country.
Villa and General Felipe Angeles are
attacking the Government in Chihua
hua. )
Foreigners are departing® from
Mexieo City and invariably such an
exodus has been the signal for the
spark that sets the bonfire raging
throughout the land.
Machine guns are perched on the
tops of the buildings and hidden in
out of way streets and alleys. The
railroad offices are crowded with pco
ple whose only anxiety is to leave
the country. Many Mexicans believe
the downfall of the Carranza Govern
ment is imminent, |
Each day sees a steady stream of
persons reaching the United States
by way of Eagle Pass, Laredo and El
Paso. Others are leaving by way of
Vera (‘ruz and Tampico. The “grape
vine" route carries tridings of revolt
and the border—mindful of the Co-‘
lumbug rajd-—figuratively hitches up
its belt and sees so its pistols. |
The European war taught Venusti
ano Carranza many things. None of
the lessons compared in value with
the knowledge that news, carefully
nurtured in a governmental “hot
house,” and finally handed to corre
spondents, aware % the futility of
attempting to go béhind the facts, is
the finest kind of propaganda. l
CARRANZA LOOKS TO U. S.
The President of Mexico now looks
to the United States for financial
support. This despite his confiscation
of oil lands, and the renunciation of
the Monroe Doectrine. What's more,
he believes he still retains the lup-‘
port of President Wilson.
Although fires are raging afl around
him, Carranza still possesses the
capital, and possession is nine-tenths
of the law-—as far as the administra
tion of the country is coneerned,
The Presidential election in Mexico
will oecur in September, 1920, Car
ranza has announced he will not be
a 4 candidate to succeed himself. His
friends have mentioned a half-dozen
or more generals as candidates,
The threg major candidates are
General Pablo Gonzales, General Al-
Varado Obregon and General Salvador
Alvarado, all of whom, if reports are
true, have sufficient funds to provide
strong campaigns,
The minor candidates are General
Candido Aguilar, a son-in-law of Car
ranza, who may visit the United
States; General Jesus Agustin Castro,
commander of the . troops in Juarez;
(Gieneral Benjamin Hill, the com
mander of Mexico City, and General
Francisco Murgia, former military
commander of Chihuahua.
ONE CIVILIAN CANDIDATE.
The lone civilian candidate is Ag
uirre Berlanga, present Minister of
the Interior.
Railroad conditions prohibit exten
sive travel and some of the candi
dates may confine their major efforts
to Mexico City, where machine guns
can maintain control.
Observers here believe that Car
ranza, personally, is honest, but they
will not discuss some of his leading
ajdes, Trains, filled with Americans,
under escort of the Méxican Govern
ment, have traveled ower the govern
ment lines to view the results of
Carranza rule. Business men, news
paper correspondents and financiers
have been invited to visit Mexico, but
to the shrewd observer of Mexican
events this procedure recalls an oc
urrence under Porfirio Diaz.
re In 1910 Diaz chartered a special
train, which was termed “E! tren
’edltorl.l,?‘z %‘n with American
newapa(}uv. pondents, and took
them from one énd of Mexico to the
other. His purpose was to convinece
them the Mexican people stood be
hind him with all their strength.
The people cheered Diaz and ap
plauded his speeches. Everything
’looked peagpful and happy. Three
months later Madero overthrew Diaz,
Carranza has been extraordinarily
fortunate in nipping several revolu
tions against him in the bud. Last
January Aurelio Blanquet set forth
in the night from New York harbor,
and seme time later landed near Tam
pico. Carranza soon literally ex-.
hibited Blanquet's head.
DIAZ SPORADIC REBEL.
Felix Diaz has been maintaining
sporadic warfare in the south, though
his accomplishments are small.
It remained for Francisco Villa, in
characteristic fashion, to set the ball
ia-romng in the North. He is alued‘
with Felipe Angeles, a graduate of
“the military academy at Chapaultepec
known to Americans because of his
two years' service in this country as
an inspector of munitions for the
French Government. He is also
known as a skillful artillery com
mander. .
. The strength of the Angeles-Villa
combination has already been demon
strated by the action of the State
Department in first granting permis
sion to Carranza to transport his
troops across Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico, and then rescinding its
decision when protests eome in.
Angeles and Villa are in possession
of most of Chihuahua. They have
3,000 well armed men or personal fol
lowers; they are reported to have be
tween 15,000 and 20,000 others, scat
tered throughout the country, await
ing only the word to mobilize.
~ Villa's men are not conscripts, they
are volunteers. Moreover, the chief
tain has a grain of comraderie in his
system that appeals to the awverage
Mexican soldier,
What has Villa been doing for the
past two years? Reliable reports tol
Washington are to the effect that he
has been biding his time, collecting
large quantities of ammunition and
\wnmng for a favorable moment to
strike. He is sald to have captured
most of the 5,000 rifles and 2,000,000 |
rounds of ammunition, sent from the |
United States to the principal Car- |
ranza garrison in Chihuahua. Also,|
he has replenished his fighting lurdvrl
with munitions smuggled across the
border., |
CAPITAL OBJECTIVE. |
~ Villa and Angeles say that Car
ranza has been given his opportunit,
and failed. They declare the countr)
was never so corrupt as today, and
they assert the President, while o l
tensibly retiring from office at the
expiration of his term, Is in reality)
paving the way for a*continuation of
his power, ,
Last week Villn was reported to bo
attacking Chihuahua City with o
large force; next week may see him
hundreds of miles away. With the|
calm, . logical «mind like that of|
Angeles directing the operations, o
southern attack is expected. The|
rebels think their numbers will be in- |
creased the nearer they approach
Mexieo City, which is their objective |
The big thing now for the revolu
tionists s to give Villa a clean bill of|
health. The memory of the Columb- |
disaster is still strong 'x the min A».'

Thirst for Immortality Proves We
Have Souls, Says Cardinal Gibbons
By CARDINAL GIBBONS,
Archbishop of Baltimore and Dux of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in
merica.
HE soul ts the principle by
I which we live and move
and have our being. It is
that which forms and perpetuates
our identity; for it makes us to be
the same yesterday, today and for
ever, The soul has intellectual con
ceptions and operations of reason
and judgment independent of ma
terial organs,
Our own experience clearly teach
es us this Important peint. Our
minds grasp what the senses can
not reach., Such a prineiple being
independent of matter in its op
erations must needs be independent
of matter also in its own being.
It is, therefore, of ity nature sub-
Ject to no corruption resulting from
matter, lits life, which is its being,
i 8 not extinguished and can not be
extinguished with that of the body.
It is well known that there is a
constant waste going on in every
part of the human body which has
to be renovated by dally nutri
ment, So steady is this exhaus
tion that, in the judgment of med
leal seience, an entire transforma
tion of the physical system occurs
every seven or elght years. New
flesh,and bone and tissues are sub
stituted for those you had before.
The hand with which you write,
the brain which you exercise in
thinking are composed of entirely
different materials, And yet you
comprehend today what you
learned ten years ago, you re
member and love those with whom
you were then assoclated, How is
this? You no longer use the iden
tical organic substance you then
possessed.
Does it not prove that the fac
ulty called the roul, by which you
think, remember and love, is dis
tinet from organic matter; that
while the body is constantly chang
ing the wsoul remains the same;
that it does not share in the pro
cesg of decomposition and renewa!
through which the buman frame is
passing and, therefore, that it is
a spiritual substance?
said that he can mobilize at a moment’s notice, twenty thousand others. These pictures show the chief
tain and a part of his army. The horsemen at the left are typical troopers; an ammunition train is seen
at the right.
We may find nations without
cities, without the arts and
sciences, without mechanical in
ventions or any of the refinements
of civilized life, but a nation with
out some presentiment of the ex
istence of a future state we shall
search for in vain,
Now, whence comes this wuni
versal belles in man's immortality ?
Not from prejudice arising from
education; for we shall find this
conviction prevailing among rude
people who have no education
whatever, among hostile tribes and
among nations at the opposite
poles of the earth who have never
had intercourse with one an
other, 5 ‘
We must,®therefore, conclude that
a sentiment so general and deep
rooted must have been planted .in
the humun breast by Almighty God,
Just as He has implanted in us an
instinetive love for truth and jus
tice and an inveterate abhorrence
of falsehood and injustice, Not
only has mankind a firm belief in
the Immortalty of the soul, but
there s inborn in every human
breast a desire for perfect felicity
or happifess. This desire Is so
strong in man that it is the maine
spring of all his actions,
CRAVING NOT SATISFIED,
Now, God would never have
plnnlt‘ al the human heart this
craving dfter perfect happiness uns
less He had intended thot, the de
sire should be fully sratified; for
He never designed that man should
be the sport of vain and barren
hopes, He never createg any
thing in vain; but He would have
created something to no purpose
if He had glven us the thirst for
perfect bliss without imparting to
us the means of assusging it
It is true that this desire never
can be fully rdalized in the present
life. Can earthly goods adequately
nutl»l’y‘*‘)‘m eravings of the human
heart fill up the measure of its
desires? Experience proves the
contrary, Can honors fully grate
ity the longings of the soul? Ne.
The more brilliant and precious the
crown, the more heavily it presses
upon the brow that wears it,
Can earthly pleasures make one
80 happy as to leave nothing to be
desired? Assuredly not, The keen
edge of delight soon becomeg blunt
ed. We find great comfort in this
life in the society of loving friends,
but how frail Is the thread that
binds friends together? Another
source of exquisite delight is found
in the pursuit of knowledge., The
higher we ascend the mount of
knowledge, the broader becomes our
view of the vast flelds of science
that still remain uncultivated by us.
But the greatest consolation at
tainable in this life Is found in.the
qum and practice of virtue,
his comsolation arises from the
well founded hope of future bliss
rather than the fulfillment of our
desires. Thus we see that neither
riches nor honars, nor pleasures,
nor knowledge, nor the endear- |
ment of soelal and family ties, nor
the pursuit of virtue, can fully sat
isfy our aspirations after happi- ‘
ness. The more delicioug the cup,
the more bitter the thought that ‘
death will dash it to pieces, ,
Now, if God has given us a de
sire for perfeet happiness, which
He intends to one day fully. grat
ify, and if this happifess, as we
have seen can not be found In the
present life, it must be reserved
for the life to come. And as no in
telligent being can be eontented
with any happiness, that is finite
in duration, we must conclude it
will be eternal, and that, conse
quently, the poul Is Immortal, Life
