FROM WASHINGTON

That President Diaz, despite official
deuiaIs, not only wants American in.
terventon in Mexico but may resort
70 trickery TO get it, was the charge
made in statement issued by revolu-
tionary headquarters here today. The
insurrectionists expect, the statement
declared, that Diaz will deliberately
try to force the United States to take
action by directingan attack on Ameri-
eau citizens or interests in Mexico, and
charging the revoutionists with being
responsible. Unless such an attack is
made, it vas pointed out. the constitu-
ton OF the United States prohibits the
sendiug OF armed forces across the
border.
The most elusive phase OF the pres
ent international situation involved by
the movement OF troops to the Mexican
border is the relationship OF Japan to
the causes and purposes OF the United
States activity, according TO diplomats
who today are watching every develop
