GAPITAL 1 MENAGED BY
BOTH VILLA AND DI
Carranza Still Rules Mexico 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
ico takes the “spotlight” through the
recurrence of bloodshed, revolt and
plunder in that unhappy country..
Villa and General Felipe Angeles are
:ttackmg the Government in Chihua.-‘
ua. ‘
Forelgners are departing from'
Mexico 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 tive
tops of the buildings and hidden in
out of way streets and alleys. Thef
railroad offices are crowded with peo
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 Cruz and Tampico. The “grape
vine” route carries tridings of revolt
and the border—mindful of the Co
lumbus raid—figuratively hitches up
its belt and sees .to 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 of the futility of
attempting to go behind the facts, is
the finest kind of propaganda.
CARRANZA LOOKS TO U, 8.
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 Doctrine, What's more,
he believes he still retains the sup
port of President Wilson.
Although fires are raging all around
him, Carranza still possesses the
capital, and possession is nine-tenths
of the law--as fanas the administra
tion of the country is concerned.
The Presidential election in Mexico
will occur in September, 1920. Car
ranza has announced he will not be
a candidate to succeed himself. His
friends have mentioned a half-dozen
or more generals as candidates,
The three 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;
General 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 Az-l
uirre Berlanga, present Minister of
the Interior.
Railroad conditions prohibit exten
give travel and some of the candi
dates may confine their major efforts
to Mexico City, where machine guns
can maintaln control,
Observers here believe that Car
ranza, personally, is honest, but they
will not discuss some of his leading |
aides. Trains, filled with Americans,
under escort of the Mexican Govern
ment, have traveled over the govern
ment lines to view the results of
Carranza rule. Business men, news
paper correspondents and financlers
have been invited to visit Mexico, but
to the shrewd observer of Mexican
events this procedure recalls an oc
pcurrence under Porfirio Diaz.
~ In 1910 Diaz chartered a special
‘train, which was termed “El tren
‘editorial,” fiiled it with American
newspaper correspondents, and took
them from one end of Mexico to the
other. His purpose was to convince
them the Mexican people stood be
‘hind him with all their strength,
- The people cheered Diaz and ap
plauded his speeches. Everything
Jlooked peaceful 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 some 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
a-rolling in the North. He is alliedl
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 pescinding its
decision when protests come 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 avérage
Mexican soldier,
What has Villa been doing for the
past two years? Reliable reports to'
Washington are to the effect that he
has been biding his time, collecting
large quantities of ammbunition and
walting for a favorable moment to
strike. He is said to have eaptured
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 larder
with munitions smuggled across the
border,
CAPITAL OBJECTIVE,
Villa and Angeles say that Car
ranza has been given his opportunity,
and falled. They declare the country
was never so norrus't as today, and
they assert the President, while os
tensibly retiring from office at the
expiration of his term, s in reality
paving the way for a continuation of
his power,
Last week Villa was reported to be
attacking Chihuahua City with a
large force; next week may see him
hundreds of miles away. With the
calm, logical mind like that of
Angeles directing the operations, a
southern attack is expected. The
rebels thirk their numbers will be in
creased the nearer they approach
Mexico City, which is their objective
The big thing now for the revolu
tionists is to give Villa a clean bill of
health, The memory of the Columßus
disaster is still strong in the minds
of the American petple, and the Stute
Department could hardly place the
stamp of its approval, either openly

Thirst for Immortality Proves We
Have Souls, Says Cardinal Gibbons
By CARDINAL GIBBONS,
Archbishop of Baltimore and Dean of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in
America. -
HE soul is 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
eeptions and operations of reason
and judgment independent of ma
terial orgdns.
Qur own experience clearly teach
es us this important point. 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 its nature sub-
Ject to no corruption resulting from
matter, lits life, which is its being,
is not extinguigshed and can not be
extinguished with that of the body.
It s well known that there is a
constant waste Boing on in every
part of the human body which has
t 0 be repovated by ‘nlly nutri
ment. So steady is this exhaus
tion that, in the judgment of med
jeal sscience, an entire transforma
tion of the physical system occurs
every seven or eight years, New
flesh and bone and tissues are sub
stituted for those you had before.
The hand with which yow write,
the brain which you exercige in
thinking are composed of entirely
differcnt materials, And yet you
comprehend today what you
learncd ten Years ago, you re
member and love those with whom
you were then assoclated, How is
this? You no lon@er use the iden
tical organic substance you then
possessed,
Does it not prove that the fac
ulty called the soul, by which you
think, remember and love, is dis
tinet from organic matter; that
while the body Is constantly chang
ing the sbul remains the samc;
that it doeg not share In the pro
cess of decomposition and renewal
through which the human frame is
passing and, therefore, that it is
8 spiritual substance?
said that he can mobilize at a moment’s notice, twenty thousand others.. These pictures show the chief- !
tair and a part of his army. The horsemen at the left are typical troopers; an ammunition train is seen
at the right. 3 I
" 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
seavrch for in vain.
Now, whence comes this uni
versal belles in man's Immortality ?
Not from prejudice” arising from
education; for we shall find this
conviction prevalling 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,
We must, therefore, conclude that
a sentiment so general and deep
rooted must have becn planted in
the human breast by Almighty God,
Jjust as He has implanted in us an
instinctive love for truth and jus
tice and an Inveterate abhorrenee
of falsehood and injustice. Not
only hAs mankind a firm belief in
the immortalty of the soul, but
there 8 inborn in every human
breast a desire for perfect felicity
or happiness, This desire is so
strong in man that it ix the main
spring of all his actions,
CRAVING NOT SATISFIED.
Now, God would never have
planted in the human heart this
craving after perfect happiness un
less He had intended that the de
sire should be fully gratified; for
He never designed that man should
be the sport of wvain and barren
hopes. He never creates any
thing in vain; but He would have
created something to no purpose
if He had given us the thirst for
perfeet bliss without imparting to
ug the means of assuaging It
It is true, that this desire never
can be fully realized in the present
life, Can earthly goods adequately
satiefy the cravings of the human
heart and fill up the moasure of its
desires? Experience proves the
contrary, (‘an honors fully grat
ify the longings of the soul? No.
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 gnount of
knowledge, the broader ba&omen our
view of the vast fields sclence
that still remain uncultivated by us,
But the greatest consolation at
tainable in this life is found in the
pursuit and practice of virtue,
This consolation arises from the
well founded hope of future bliss
rather than the fulfillment of our
desires. Thus we see that neither
riches nor honors, nor pleasures,
