Carranza Confident Rulé of the Die- tator Soon Will be 'Ended--Media- tors Complete Plans for Confer- ence at Niagara Falls. Washington, May "T=\While the Mexican situation outwardly was calm yesterday, pending the formal opening of the conference of South American mediators at Niagara Falls, Ont., there continued an active un- dercurrent of discussion and prepar ation for the peace plans. At the same time definite reports reached the constitutionalist repre- sentatives here of sweeping victories by their forces near San Luis Potosi and other points far south of Sal- tillo, where it was thought their next big battle would occur. General Carranza telegraphed 'to Raphael Zubaran, minister of the interior in the rebel cabinet, that three converging campaigns were in active operation, each within 200 miles. of Mexico City: that General Obregon, with 15,009 men, operating Trou the Pacific coast side, had eap- tu ll the intervening territory, was b#sleging Mazatlan and was threatening Mexico City from the west, Another division, General Carran- Za reported, had fought a battle at Penzacos, near San Luis Potosi, which is 300 miles north of Mexico City. This is the southernmost point which the constitutionalists have reached in central Mexico, and with the army now attacking Tam- pico they declare that the general advance on the Mexican capital is to be made within a few weeks, from three sides. NLT : The significance of these constitu- tionalist 'snocesses lay in the fact that San Luis Potosi is far south of Saltillo and only 300 miles from Tampico on the west and Mexico City v Rte ad General Cartan#a's report of the desperate condition of the federals at Mazatlan was coincident with re- ports from Rear Admiral Howard, who stated that a land and sea en- Bfgement was carried" on there throughout yesterday, the consti. tutionalists firing rifles guns. from Piedra Isla federal gunboat Mores sup- ported by the federal shore batteries Senor Zubaran, after-a conference by telegraph with General Carranza in the city of Chihuahua "on the military situation in Mexico late ves terday estimated that within one "month their forces will have, regclied Mexico City, { Funston to Extend Lines.

St Viscount St. Aldwyn in the course of his speech said the arguments for the extension of. the parliamentary suffrage to women, which were based on the results obtained in taose states of the United States where it. had been tried, did not apply in the * United Kingdom, because in those states men were in the major- ity, while in the British 1sles they were in the minority Consequently, he argued, the granting of the parliamentary vote to women in the British Isles would mean the handing over of the destin- ies of the country and of the empire to a female electorate, which waw a perilous step to take. Among those who voted for the bill were Viscount Morley of Blaek- bura, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishops of London, Here- ford, Bangor and St. Asaph. Those who voted against the bill included the Marquis of Ladsdowne, Viscount Escher, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Halsbury and the Duke of Northumberland.
