Villa May Seek Amnesty and Peace With Carranza
El Paso dispatch reports general Villa considers retirement from politics may lead to peace if amnesty is granted. He allegedly would surrender troops to the Carranza government under safe conduct, with Obregon to lead. State Department says Villa will be treated as any foreigner entering the U S and will not be extradited for politics. If Villa returns as a private citizen he would be an ordinary immigrant or interned as an alien enemy if forced into the U S by Carranistas.

British officials say a larger army is needed to threaten the Suez route, with defenses around the canal region now strong and largely impregnable.
