RELATIONS ARE
MORE CORDIAL

Reports from Mr.. Lind declare that
his relations with the Huerta officials
are more cordial than before and that
the Huerta officials manifest a willing
ness to find some new ground for a
settlement
European diplomatic pressure it is
known here is quietly at work in Mex
leo City in an effort to convince HUI
erta officials that the policy of the
United States is being approved abroad
The failure of the Huerta government
to obtain funds in Europe through the
nom recognition of the United States
is pointed to by the diplomats as likely
to continue pending a more respectful
consideration of the American propos-
ais.
1t is learned also from authoritative
sources that the Huerta government is
facing a mutinous army dissatisfied be-
cause no pay has been Forthcoming for
weeks.
1t was apparent tonight that Wash
ington officials expected word from HUI
erta before Tuesday, and that unless 1t
comes the notes will be proclaimed to
the world through the Presidents mes
sage showing the efforts of the Amer
lean government to bring about peace
along with suggestions for a definite
line of procedure by the United States
in the future.
White House officials, however. were
confident that the situation would un-
ravel itself. They would not disclose
upon what their optimism was based,
but 1t is believed that reports from
Mr.. Lind today were largely responsible
for the confident feeling.

former work yesterday afternoon and
engaged in a conversation with Thomp

knew as driver for the brewing COM

mitted to be slightly worse. 1t is un-

COmpels Patience

London, August 23-In an editorial deal
ing with the mission of John Lind to Mex
leo, the Times today points out that the
United States had no Inducements to offer
that would be likely to tempt President
Huerta to strive for the crown of self
sacrificing. patriot
He will be willing to accept the good
OFFICES OF an American commission to me-
date between himself and revolutionary
leaders, the editorial says. but he would
surely require in return the removal Of
the embargo on his candidacy.
president Wilson, however, is clearly
entitled to take his own line, although
that line be opposed to the whole of for
eign diplomatic. opinion, because Ameri-
can action in Mexico carries with 1t great
er implications and liabilities than the
action of any other power. Foreign critics
who declaim against the seeming inef-
fectiveness of the American attitude may
be invited to remember that a false step
might commit the United States to a
greater struggle than any since the civil
war, and to subsequent responsibilities
the end of which no man can foresee.
THE Washington government fairly is
entitled to ask the world to exercise pa
tience until the unusual procedure adopt

proved either that it has succeeded or

The advisa bility of calling an extra ses-
sion of Congress to deal with the session
growing out of the representations of
President Wilson to Provisional President
Huerta was discussed today by the per-

debate.
Another amendment providing that the
President report to the committee the
nature Of the negotiations with the United
States government was offered by Man
