Wilson has submitted plan to the
president which contempiates the car

has been in the presidents hand since
yesterday, has been carefully studied
by him, and will be discussed tomorrow
afternoon. when the ambassador to
Mexico win be presented to the. presi-
dent by the secretary of state for the
hrst time.
Mr.. Wilson believes that the plan
which he now presents for the approval
of the administration Will not only
Americans In Mexico. but that it will
have such a marked favorable influence
upon the two countries bordering on
the Rio Grande that all the present
sible conflict will shortly disappear.
The ambassador not only believes that
this plan will compose the situation.
but that nothing else will. Naturally,
only the president can release the de-
tails of this project
Mr.. Wilson Is by no means new
conner in Latin -American politics. He
has represented the United states in
Mexico for the last three exceedingly
trying years. Previous to that for
eight years he represented this country
in Chile. and laid the foundation for
the exceedingly amiable relation which
now exists between this country and
our former unfriendly sister republic
OF South America.
During all these years of service, as
the records of the state department
amply prove. Mr.. Wilson has never
made a mistake in his diagnosis of a
adopted 1t has achieved results. It is
on this account that official Washing
ton is extremely hopeful that Mr.. VIII
