STILL HOPES FOR
PEACEFUL SOLUTION

The President is confidently hopeful that
a peaceabe solution of the Mexican trou-
BILE can be effected. He made 1t plain
to callers that until advised officially to
the contrary he would continue to re-
gard as Incredible the statements issued
on behalf of President Huerta declaring
Mr. Linds presence in Mexico undesir-
able While there is little disposition to
doubt the veracity of the news dis
patches describing the attitude of the
Iuerta government against Lind. there Is
hope among other administration officials
that upon mature reflection no such in
timations formally will be conveyed to the
Washington authorities.
The President is known to hold the
opinion that the Huerta administration
would make a vital mistake to refuse
at this stage of the situation to receive
an envoy from the chief executive of
the United States. even though the ennis
sary lacked diplomatic status. Mr.. Lind,
1t was pointed out, was purposely sent
without credentials, SO he might deal
freely with propositions of all factions
In Mexico who might inquire as to the
views OF the Washington administration.
1t is expected an announcement of the
purposes of the Washington government
In sending Mr.. Lind to Mexico will be
made on his arrival in the Mexican cap
ital and In the meantime there is no
formal expression from the adininistra-
ton. It IS known. however. that Mr..
Lind Is instructed TO convey the earnest
wishes of the United States government
for restoration OF peace in Mexico and
will make his Representations largely
through the charge d'affaires of the
American embassy. Washington officials
would be pleased, nevertheless, IL he had
the opportunity to talk with President
Huerta and outline in person the friendly
aims of the American government toward
Mexico. f

The threatened rebuff from the
Huerta administration to the mission
of John Lind, personal representative
of President Wilson, en- route to
Mexico City to expound the hopes OF
the United States for a suspension of
hostilities and an orderly constitu
tional election in Mexico, drew from
Senator Bacon, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, declara-
ton on the floor of the Senate today
that the present situation was the
s.gravest in years, much graver than
confronted us when the Cuban ques-
tion was here"
President Wilson realizes the
gravity of the situation and mani
tested during the day his displeasurel
at the attitude of some members of
the minority party in Congress, tell
ing callers that he believed certain
republicans were making it difficult
for him to handle the situation in a
peaceful manner
JUSTTFIES LANGUAGE
OF SENATOR BACON
on this account Mr.. Wilson justified to-
night the strong and emphatic language
of Senator Bacon. who during a debate in
the Senate on the resolution OF Senator
Clark Of Wyoming, republican,. demanding
general Investigation of Mexican af-
fairs, had referred to the resolution as
openly "disrespectftl" and .foutng in
the face OF the President" while the lat
ter was endeayoring to put into effect a
peace policy. The resolution was finally
forced off the days calendar.
President Wilson was unmoved by adj
vices from Mexico City depicting the
Huerta government as inimical to Mr..
1.ind's mission. lie let it be known, too
that so far-as he was able to learn there
was not the slightest demand from the
American people for Intervention. and de-
clined to discuss alternatives that might
be used in event that the efforts of the
American government to help restore
peace in Mexico were rejected.
