Villa also declared that he does not
agree with Gen Kraillano Zapata who

asked tlut the Airerton troops ro-

avoid the port's being occunied by Car-

Gen. Villa telegraphed the Associated
Press from LaMancha Coahuila. in an-
swer to a query as follows:
-I manifest that my desires always
have been that the Mexican people
arrange all their troubles by them-
selves and that consequently I am not
in accord with the protest of Gen. Za-
pata that the American forces do not
leave the port of Veracruz leaving it
to the Carranza forces: that all Mexi-
cans want their fatherland to be alone
In their control regardless of the par-
ty or faction which controls It"
Zapata Supports VlUa.
The difference of opinion between
Villa and Zapata with whom the Villa
faction has asserted an accord is not
taken by Villa officials here as indi-
cating any serious difference between
there two leaders.
It is reported that Zapata has sent
a commission to Villa to inform film
that he will support the new move-
ment against Carranza and that Villa
has accepted the tender of services
from Zapata with thanks.

Madero Sees Peace.
Emilia Madero. uncle of the late pres-

The statement was Issued in El riso

as follows.
"Although I have made It a rale not to
oommeat on situations of such delicacy as
now exist In Mexico because I am not la

From Informat'on I have it is my opin-

cause both Gen. Villa and Gen. Carranza
are in a receptive mood and each Is willing
to meet the other half way Gen. villa ha
acquired for himself a name that will live In
history and it Is not cecesitary for him to
have the ambition to bold political office In
order to make him greater. Gen. Villa
knows this and is sincere la his statements
that he does not want any oaOce for him-

rifice necessary for his country's good.

GOAL II STILL
REJECTS TRUCE
Denver. Colo Sept 30. J. F. Wel-
born. president of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company upon his return
from a conference with president Wil-
son regarding the proposed truce in
the Colorado coal miners' strike issued
a statement today in which he reiter-
ated that the proposal contained con-
ditions which tbe company could not
accept
Mr. Welborn's statement follows:
"The president received me very
courteously and manifested an Interest
in what I had to say about the strike
as well as general conditions connect-
ed with the coal Industry in Colorado.
He said that much I told him was new
and he offered no criticism of our con
duct of the strike yet stcted that this
ume ne preierrea to eoiunaer tne pro-
posal sent by him rather than any-
thing tbat the coal operators might
have to offer.
Objects to Reemployment.
There are many' conditions in the
truce proposal which appeal to fair-
minded men when made clear. But
the requirement that the operators re-
employ 'all striking miners who have
not been found guilty of violation of
tbe law' when to do so woald make
necessary the discharge of some faith-
ful employes would Involve placing at
work alongside of those who have been

abused them.
Employes Protesting.
"At practically every camp our em-
ployes are protesting in large numbers
against the reemplo men of strikers
except such as are known not to have
participated in abuse or violence. The
frequency and character of these pro-
tests convince us that t -e acceptance
and carrying out of the proposal in
good faith would cause more men te
leave our service than could be em-
ployed from among those on strike
and the result therefore would be a re-
duction' rather than an increase in coal
output"

French of St Mihiel and the capture
af the crown prince or Bavaria and
relates that desperate attempts are be-
