lONDON'S VIEW
OF MOBILIZATION
BELIEVE POLITICAL SITUATION
IN MEXICO INDUCED PREsI-
DENT TAFT's MOVE.

London, March S.-The mobilization
Of an American army at the Mexican
frontier has excited great interest on
the part Of London parties and COM
a1iercial interests, though they are still
inx the dark as to whether the move
ment is for political or purely military
reasons.
The foreign Office denies that the
British government suggested the ac-
tion taken by washington. but these
officials speak In such diplomatic terms
that their statements are not neces-
sarily convincing.
There is little doubt expressed by
the public and the newspapers that tho
political situation in Mexico caused
President Tafts' strong move, but 1t
is questioned whether this government
had any share in the matter.
Oppose Extension of Power.
So far any extension of the power Of
the United States on the American
continent is concerned. 1t Is doubtful
that such an outcome would be popu-
lar with the British public. The talk OF
the future annexation of Canada has
created prejudice on this side ana "a
this prejudice is just as strong against
the political expansion Of the United
States generally as the present move
ment.
Dealings in American securities to-
day indicated that the stock exchange
did not consider that the general Sc
curity Of the country was seriously
threatened. Mexican bonds remained
unchanged as did Southern Railway
shares. Mexican Railway fell IA points
first preferred ~ and second preferred
1A. These always have been Of spec.
ulative character. Mexican National
railway shares which dropped several
points recently, fell off y today.
Miguel Covarrubias, Mexican min
lister to Great Britain was more Inter-
ested than any other man in this city,
apparently, in the news Of the Amer
lean mobilizing. He was also exceed
ingly anxious over the reports that
foreign Intervention In Mexico was
possible. Such an outcome would be
wholly unnecessary, he said.
.Ali Mexico is absolutely tranquil
declared the minister today, except for
a number of marauders bands which
are making raids In the extreme north
among the inaccessible mountains and
there the government is holding IN
check.

this mornings paper was shown him.
1t was afterward stated that he ap-

opinion. Only few people at the sta
