Villa Presents lltlnin t urn.
EAGlE PASS, 1o Juno lS.-That Gen-
eral Villa lias presented an ultimatum to
General Carranza demanding tho abso
lute Beparntlon of the civil nnd military
branches of the constitutionalist govern
ment was the substance of dispatcher re
ceived at constitutionalist headquarters
In Pledras Nlogras today. A committee
of three officers was said now to be In
conference with General Carranza at Sal-
tlllo presenting General' Villa's plan.
According to constitutionalist officials
at Pledras Negras, his plan Is ns follows:
First Villa to have complete control of
tho army nnd to direct tho military pol
icy without Interference, whllo Carranza
Is to havo control of the civil government
and foreign relations.
Second- Villa agrees to recognize Car
ranza hh his suporior, provided Carranza
accords him recognition as supreme mil
itary chief.
Third The promotion of officers and
tho disposition of their commands to be
in Villa's hands.
Constitutionalists expressed their belief
that if these demands were granted Gen
eral Villa would proceed with the cam
paign and tako personal command of the
forces In the field; otherwise, they said,
they thought he would Insist upon his
resignation, retire to Chihuahua to await
such a time as he could serve the con
stitutionalist cause without friction.
The third clause of Villa's alleged ulti
matum whs accepted here as a direct an
swer to General Carranza's promotion of
General Natera to command the division
of the center, and his resulting disastrous
uttuek on Kacatccos.

The Newspaper
A Necessity
A large national advertiser
btarted out to get a new point
of view on various mediums.
He took a large circle ot
frlendn and asked them this
question:
"What publication would you
choose if you wero only per
mitted to have one"
In every case the reply was:
"I could get nlouK without
ovorythinR else except uiy
newspaper."
The advertiser put the result
of hla little experiment to prac
tical use.
He decided ho could get
along without any other adver
tising except the newspaper.
This year he is a large user of
newspaper space.
Next year he Is going to dou
ble his list ot papers because
his business has shown such an
increase.
