situation has reached a point where the
iuited States is.bound to present to Euro
l'An Governments some practical and
'"1"rete plan for bringing about order
u the southern republic. That is the
rravoidable Interpretation put on devel-
,Ymeuts here to-day.
Eud'r pressure from European Powers
Resident Wilson has pledged the United
states Government to make definite
statement of policy in regard TO Mexico.
NJ the request Of the United States three

'inut,d with tn. request from France that
protection Ice afforded To the lives and
property Of French citizens at a point

pliel by sending cruiser but the ques-
r"u probably will be raised now whether
