MEXICO CITY, June 30.—Pan-

sire to help his people, - according
to an impression gained by the cor-

Villa is described by: the  cot-
respondent as a home loving man,

hours far into the night in personal
superyvi.ion of his ranch jn the state
of Durango. The one-time bandit
has established schools for: ‘1i3
people and has’set up a code of mo.
rals which he enforces with the se-
vere discipline of his bandit days.
Liquors and gambling are barred,
and every man is forced to perform
his suota of work.

Villa is studying English.and so
are his three children, ‘The form.

Willing That
Germany Enter

LONDON, June 30.—Asked by
Lord Robert Cecil in the House of
Commons this afternoon iwhether
he could state the Governments
attitude towards the admission of
Germany to membership in the
League of Nations, Prime Minister
Lloyd George replied that Great
Britain would be willing to sup-
port a proposal for Germany's ad-
mission, In answer to Lord Rob-
ert’s question, the Prime Minister
said:

“This is not a ..question which
concerns .Great ‘Britain alone; it
primarily concerns Germany her-
self. So fay as His Majesty’s Gov-
ernment is concerned, we wwould
support a proposal to admit Ger-
many to the 'League.”

LONDON, June 30.—Frank A.
Munsey’s criticiam of the slowness
of trans-Atlantic voyages as com-
‘pared with the pre-war five-day av-
erage, has stirred: all ‘the shipping
companies, including the Canadian
Pacific Steamships, into a protest.
The White Star ‘Line officials claim
that there has never been a finer

‘trans-Atlantic ‘mail. service than
that provided by the . Majestic,
Olympic and: Homeric. The ‘Cun-

ard ‘Line representatives say that
the Mauretania’s. time is only in-
finitesimally slower than tbefore the
war, and that anyway five-day trans-
Atlantic ‘passages from ‘port to
port were never made. Thee Cana-
dian Pacific surprises the British
public with the announcement that
its services include a. run ‘of five
and one-half days from Quebec to
Liverpool, coupled’ with the state-
ment that the company is not now
