| France and Japan are among the ma
| tions which have interposed their in
| tluence upon the Huerta administra-
| ton in Mexico in support of the eff
| forts of the United States to bring
about a peaceful settlement Of the
! revolution.
While administration officials were
silent. today. regarding this phase OF
| the situation, there was lively inter-
| est manifested in diplomatic circles
| here as to the probable effect of for
| eisn pressure on the Huerta govern
ment
1t was learned that the Mexican au-
thorites hoped President Wilson
would not read his message to Con-
sress, next Tuesday, as he had plan
| ed and showed disposition to pro-
| long the negotiations. Unless some
| tangible overture, however, is received
| within AZ hours from the Huerta Off
| Gals indicating a desire to accept the
fundamental proposals of the United
States. the President will proclaim to
Congress and to the world the atti
| tude of this government toward the
southern Republic
The fact that diplomats from some
of the very countries which not only
, have formally recognized Huerta. but
whose bankers hitherto have hoated
loans for him. are using their infiu-
ence on the Mexican administration. IS
calculated to produce something def
mite shortly.
Official reports to the State Depart
ment show the Huerta regime to be
in desperate financial straits with lit
| tie PROJECT of forgetting funds any
where to meet the running expenses of
the government or pay it's troops al
ready FESTIVE because of deferred
payments.
So important is this aspect of the
situation regarded that an air of tense
expectancy prevailed tonight, in Off
cial circles, where it was beieYed
some pronouncement would be forth
coming from Mexico City before Pres
| ident Wilson finally determined to
| communicate his message to Congress.
The insstence of the United States
! on a Constitutional election and the
elimination of Huerta was reiterated
positively by administration officials,
a position which Mr.. Lind has been
/ instructed to emphasize.
/ Only concessions by the Huerta gov
eminent, it is believed, here. now
would persuade President Wilson to
hold up the presentation of his mes
ge.
The President finished the docu-
ment, today, read it over to Sec Bry--
an and will discuss ii. Monday, with
members of the Senate and House
committees on Foreign Relations. In
! the meantime officials will await word
from Mexico City as to possible
change of attitude.
The sending OF special envoy from
Mexico to Washington further to dis
euss the situation with President VIII
son is regarded here as dilatory
move. 1t is known that the Washing
ton government has made 1t clear that
such a procedure would not alter the
views expressed in its first note. II
is believed however. that the Huertd
officials now have abandoned the idea
of sending an envoy and are seeking TO
develop a new basis for negotiation.

MORE TROOPS NEEDED
On Mexican Border to Properly Patrol
And Protect Our interests.

Washington, Aug. 2-With only three
American soldiers available for the pro-
lection of each mile of the Mexican Dor
der, and certain knowledge that tauanti-
ties of arms and ammunition are being
smuggled across the line, consideration
has been given in military circles to the
dispatch of. fresh troops.
The possibility that as a result of the
steady northward movement of the Fed
eral troops in Mexico. the numerous Con-
stitutionalist bands may be tempted to
cross into Texas and Arizona to escape
capture, has also been taken into eonsid-
GRAFTON and though no orders have been
issued, plans of the army have been fully
developed to largely increase the maneu-
Yer division under Gen. Carter.
The augmented force would thus be in
position to deploy in strength along the
northern border of Mexico or in case of
need could form the military unit of a
successful eXpeditiouary force.
Owing to the considerable number of
troops sent to Hawaii and the canal
zone, the detention in China of some mill
army of about 1900 men in the Philip
pines. the total strength of the mobile
army remaining in the continental United
States over and above the coast artillery
force. which must be maintained in their
posts. is only about j. 900 nen
OF these 1000 are now under Gen Car
ter in Texas and 10 bring the strength
of his division up to possible require
ments. heavy drafts would be laid upon
