the standing army of the United

in Mexico regard this action of the
United States at this particular time

In these changes the American gov

Apart from the moral effect on
treatment accorded American inter-
ests in revolutionary disorders, it is
believed the military demonstration,
whether so intended or not, will have
potentiol influence on the political
crisis in Mexico City, especially as

Relates to Revolution.
The general impression prevails
that the sudden and extensive mill
tary activity has vital and direct re
