ference IN Vera Cruz between John
Lind and the German minister to Mex
leo the latter was asked to see the
situation through American eyes. He
was told plainly that Hnerta must go
and he was told that If the plan TO
put General Banquet in the president
fal chair was adhered to, this govern
ment would tell the world that It was
subterfuge, obnoxious to the United
States. Other representatives OF world
rowers are to receive the same mes
sage. With this knowledge they win
return to Mexico City and the presi-
dent hopes they will be able to con-
vince Huerta and his supporters OF
the utter hopelessness of their cause
and persuade him that acQuiesense to
the views OF the United States is an
absolute necessity.
It was pointed out tonight that
Huerta can easily save his face in
backing down. No attempt has been
made to canvass the returns of last
Sundays election. It can easily be
declared no election 80 far as prcsi-
dent and vice president is concerned
but also on the congress result. Then
Huerta could, II he would. retire In
/ favor of some strong non-partison
Mexican, who would with the Caransa
forces, agree at conference, call an
election properly safeguarded aud let
the people themselves say who shall
rule. II Huerta remains obstinate.
and he probably will II reports receiv-
ed are correct, then it is admitted in
official circles, that this government
might eliminate him or become the
laughing stock Of the nations OF the
world.
, President Wilson and Secretary Of
State Bryan hope that the financial
: stringenoy in Mexico will operate to
the advantage OF peaceful solution.
And because OF that hope they will de-
lay to the very last moment, radical
action. But the president in his Mo-
. bile speech, when he indicated that
t never again would we embark on 3
of conquest for the acquisition
2 iof territory. sounded the note to tn
L world that will permit American sol
q diers and marines to enter Mexico te
g restore order without arousing sus
l. picions and antagonisms from the
I powers whose financial interests are
i SO great in that country.
s Hoping for the best, but admittedly
t fearing the worst, sums up tonight
d the exact attitude OF the Wilson ad
& ministration toward this-the mos
It knotty problem 1t has yet confronted
