spite the successes achieved by bandit
Villa south of tho border lino and the
by no means remote prospect that the

American owned property in Mexico.
With Villa rampaging through Chi
huahua at a pace that bids fair to
land him in Mexico City, the peace
commission is looked upon as more or
less of a Joke and the doings of the
commissioners receive only desultory
