tAmerican News Service)

Augusta, Ga, March 17.--It was
learned today that as soon as Presi-
dent Taft returns to Washington. ear
ly next week a conference will be held
there to determine the future course
the administration is to pursue in the
Mexican difficulty. Nothing will be
done until that time, except to equip
the army for active operations. Al.
ready orders have been issued with
the presidents consent for the pur-
chase of commissary supplies for
three months rations If intervention
must take place as last resort to
protect American interests in Mexico
the chances are now that the presi
dent will put the question and respon
sibility of such thing as an invasion
up to congress. Those who talked to
Taft here today insisted that he would
not without direct authority from con
gress do more than patrol the Mexi
can frontier and cut off, if possible. al
sources of supply from the Mexican
revolutionists. Should the Diaz ad
ministration with this aid from the
American government, be unable te
control the situation, then the friends
of the president here say he will ash
congress to say whether or not the
army shall be sent across the border
