WASHINGTON, Nov- 19.-It is no
President Huerta's but the activitie
of the rebels which have complicated
the Mexican situation. General Villa'
execution of federal prisoners d
Juarez, the reported massacre of fee
erals by General Gonzales at Victoris
and General Carranza's attitude of de-
fance toward the United States has
mace it practically impossible, it is
felt, to recognize the belligerancy OF
the constitutionalists.
Advisers of the president who for
merly urged the lifting of the embargo
on arms and ammunition so that Huer-
ia might more speedily be overthrown
have now changed their minds. Don't
recognize either faction and let them
exterminate one another" they are
urging.
