Especial To The Times Dispatch.
New York. February 22.--A mutual
friend Of President Taft and President
Elect Wilson. who would not consent
to the use OF his name. told The Times
Dispatch to-day that while the Presi-
dent was in this city to-day he com
municated directly with the President
elect regarding the perilous situation
in Mexico. 1t is assumed that the
communica ton was by means OF the
telephone. AZ Governor Wilson depart
cd for Princeton before President Taft
arrived here.
The mutual friends statement was
that the President described in detail
to the President elect the situation in
the neigh boring republic as reported
in the latest advices from that coun-
try 10 Washington; that Mr.. Taft cX-
planned to the man who in less than "A
fortnight will be his successor. the
military precautions that have been
taken, both by the War and Navy De-
partments; that the President assured
the President elect that every neces-
sary preparation would be found ready
to his hand to proceed vigorously upon
any course that his judgment may die
tate after he shall assume the care OF
chief magistrate; that a sufficient force
Of soldiers. sailors and marines will be
conveniently mobili:ed AT strategic
points along the Mexican borders to
which may require quick action.
1t was stated further that not once
in the communication between the two
men upon whose initiative rests the
issue OF Intervention was that word
used. From President Taft's tone and
manner in discussing the Mexican
situation with close friends it is
evident that he considers the con
dition very grave. and that he
would not be surprised should
some untoward event at most any min
ute make Intervention in some form
imperative on the part Of the United
States in order to protect not only the
lives and property Of Americans. but
also those of the citizens and subjects
of other nations.
President Elect Wilson realizes that
every damage claim being accumulated
by all aliens In Mexico is being charG-
ed up against the United States, be-
cause of the Monroe Doctrine. but lie
is said also to realize the imminence
Of the danger of some form of Inter
vention by Germany, England, France
and Italy. in order to protect the
lives of their own people now coopod
up in scores of places throughout the
distracted country.

BOY MAY BE DROWNED.
White billiard, of the Marine Corps
Last Seen Near the Swimming
Pool.

Lynchburg, Va, July 17-Grave ap-
prehension regarding the fate of
White billiard, formerly of this city
but for the past year in the United
States Marine service, was caused
today in the receipt CT communica-
ton from the Navy Department by
his father, DR.. John w. billiard, one
of the best known surgeons of this
city.
This communication states that
young billiard has been missing since
July 7th, and asked to know whether
any of his relatives here had any
knowledge Of his whereabouts.
It is understood that the last that
was seen of Mr.. billiard was at a
swimming pool on the Delaware river
at or near the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, and that his clothes were found
on the banks of the river.
DR.. billiard today stated that he
has heard nothing from his son since
the date mentioned in the communica-
ton, and while nothing positive Is
known, it is feared that Mr.. billiard
was drowned while swimming in the
pool.
