our weakness and u lack of any wis

President Wilson. Insists That constitu.

fessed Beliefs-Withdrawal
To Follow.

New York.-A dispatch from Wash.
ington to the New York Times says:
president Wilson has offered to
withdraw the American troops and
marines from Vera Cruz If General
Carranza will resign from his present
office in favor of some other leading
Mexican.
president Wilson also, according to
information from the same source, VIII
grant immediate recognition to Car
rama II he assumes the office of Pro-
visional President, but on the condi-
ton that he will not be a candidate
for Constitutional President at the
regular election which the Constltu'
tionalists are pledged to hold at an
early date. Withdrawal of the armed
forces from Vera Cruz will follow i'm
mediately after recognition.
Another alternative proposed by
President Wilson is that II Carranza
does not assume the title of Provis-
ional President, but continues TO ex-
ercise the executive power as First
Chief of the Constltutionalists, the
United States Government immediate
ly will give him recognition and will
agree that Carranza shall be a candi-
date in the general election, and
furthermore, will recognize the person
selected at the polls. Pending this
election, however, the United States
will retain its forces at Vera Cruz.
"These proposals, 1t is asserted, have
been placed before General Carranza
by Paul Fuller, a friend of President
Wilson, who is now in Mexico City as
an unofficial emissary of the Presi-
dent"
