ments in the Mexican situation today
were confined to informal discussion
OF suggested plans for a definite policy
on the part of the American admins
tration toward its neighbor republic.
Every kind of plan has been sus-
gested to administration officials. from
a mediation board of Americans to ad-

by President Wilson as pointing the
way to a solution.

getting munitions of war from the
United States. 1t is believed possible

embargo may be lifted and both sides
permitted to buy supplies subject to
the risks OF contraband transactions
