quickly either by the United States or
Mexico to render the diplomatic situa-
ton between the two governments less
strained The Mexicans are greatly
pleased at the prospect of the United

over the California situation. They
look upon the action Of President Will

movement calculated to arouse Japan's
suspicious as a confession of weakness

The exodus of Americans continues.
A report reached here that, alarmed

lies from Aguascalientes to Vera Cruz
by special train and Is trying to
charter steamship to transport them
from Vera Cruz to New York.
Those Americans here whose opin-
ions are worth while do not hesitate
to pronounce the diplomatic situation
rs between Mexico and the United
States impossible. They favor recall
ing Ambassador Wilson and sending
here a commissioner to take up the
question of recognition with the gov
ernment whose communication with
Mexican officials would not be ham
pered by embarrassing personal and
official relations in the past. 1t is not
questioned that the continued retain
ing of Henry Lane Wilson here con-
stitutes a grave impediment to an un-
derstanding being reached by the two
governments. The sooner Washington
appreciates this and acts the sooner
will Americans In Mexico see a pos
s:ble way out of the tangle.
