ON THE VERGE Of
INVADING MEXICO
PRESIDENT TAFT FRAMES EDlCT
WHICH MAY RESULT WAR
WITH MENlCANS.
Demands That Murders of Americans
and Destruction of Their Property
Shall Cease, and Congress viii
Be Asked to Enforce Demand.

Washington.-Th United States is
on the verge OF occupying Mexico
Stirred by the defiant and evasive at
titude OF President Madero toward
demands by the United States that
Mexican murderers of Americans be
punished and that indemnity be given
for the loss of American life and
property. President Taft on Thursday
sent an ultimatum to Madero under
which lie must act or suffer the down
fall OF his government.
The crisis with Mexico has come at
the end OF long series OF diplomatic
exchanges between this government
and Mexico which taxed the patience
Of President Taft and Secretary OF
State Knox. The conclusion has
been forced that the Madero govern
ment is hopelessly impotent and the
time has come when the United
States must cease ,emporizing with
the situation.
II is understood that President Taft
has taken steps to acquaint President.
elect Wilson with the situation in or
der that plans may be shaped to har-
mohize with the views OF the incom-
ing president. According to the pres
emf plan, if by the time President
Tart returns from Panama. Madero
ha" not given satisfactory response
TO the American ultimatum. the case
Of Mexico will be placed before con-
gross with the request that the pres
ident be authorized to enforce the
de nands of the United States.
The steps proposed by the presi-
dent and the state department TO en-
force redress are as follows:
First-The ultimatum to Mexico.
Second-The dropping of the neu-
trality bars between the United
States and Mexico. thus enabling the
rerolutionists TO secure arms and
forcing the downfall of Madero from
within.
Third-The blockadng of the ports
OF Mexico and the seizure of a portion
of Mexican territory.
The attitude OF Madero has been
such that the president for time con-
sidered taking immediate action with
out sending further diplomatic ex-
changes to the Mexican government.
IT was finally concluded to give Ma
dero one more opportunity in the Ill
timatum.
