ably outline the districts first and then
choose the cities in each district where
the federal reserve bank will be located. >
Secretary McAdoo did not know, he said,
whether there would be eight or twelve
districts.
"The law has been accepted" he said
'in a thoroughly patriotic spirit l have
never had any doubt. and none now
that most of the banks of the country
will enter the new system. I believe it
will prove an unexpected success and the
greatest thing that has happened to the
country in numerous years"

grow under the committees feet" said
Secretary McAdoo. I'VE are going at
these problems carefully but quickly"

had opposed some features of the new
law He expressed a desire to conform
to it's provisions and to help the admin

j. 8. To REMOVE
WILSON FROM
MEXICO POST
His Displacement Expected To Be
Taken as Virtual Recognition
of Huerta.

WASHINGTON, July 17-That
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, now
on his way from Mexico City to
Washington, never will return to
Mexico as the representative Of the
United States, was stated authori-
tatively at the White House to-day.
While the administration is OPP
posed to any act which might be
taken as a recognition OF the Huerta
regime, it is believed that the sud
den crisis in Mexican affairs will
force Washington to accept Ambas-
sador Wilson's resignation and to
appoint his successor within a short
time.
Formal recognition Of the Huerta
Government would be required II the
; United States were to send an am
bassador to Mexico as a successor Of
Henry Lane Wilson. This was as
serted by State Department officials
to-day. who added that there is no
way in which the United States can
change it's attitude toward Mexico at
| the present time without involving a
| formal and valid recognition of Gen
| eral Huerta.
No Middle Ground for U. S.
There is no middle ground on which
| the United States could stand, so as
| to save its face" in it's present en-
| barrassment and at the same time
| yield to the pressure now being placed
| upon it by certain European powers.
President Wilson understands the
gravity of the present situation. he
conferred with Senator Bacon. chair
man of the Senate Committee on For
eign Affairs early to-day, concerning
the Mexican question.
The Georgia Senator pointed out
! that the opposition of the Wilson ad-
ministration to the Huerta Govern
ment, If continued, would be fraught
with an immense amount Of danger
to the Monroe doctrine. the principles
of which are considered more in peril
now than at any time since the Ven
ezuelan boundary dispute during
| Cleveland's administration.
President Likely to Yield.
Being informed on all sides that a
recognition of President Huerta by
the United States would end the pres
ent trouble south Of the Rio Grande
and prevent the necessity for active
intervention-the only other alerna-
tive now apparent-it is considered
| likely that the President will consider
II wiser to retreat from his announced
Latin american policy and recognize
the present Mexican Government
Before taking any decisive steps,
| however the President will await the
/ arrival of Ambassador Wilson. and
| his future course OF action will be
! based largely on the advice of the
| Amba ssador.
Should the United States desire ia
! intervene it has the troops and ships
ready for instant action, but 1t is be-
! lieved here that the President will
| choose to back down from his policy
! of mo recognition OF any but properly
| elected Constitutional Governments
rather than plunge the. United States
| into a war
