A PLAN
Continued From Page One,

that this government would find the

pathy with the plan, the selection of
either Senator Root or Mr.. BRYAN
would be satisfactory in Mexico and

Well as in the United States and that

preparations already made to meet
any emergency.
For the present. the entire efforts of
the administration are being concen-
trated upon the protection Of foreign
life and property in the Mexican cap
ital, without actual forcible i%nterven-
ton, which the president is deter
mined to avoid until the last eXtrem-
itN.
Ambassador Wilson is acting under
instructions of that character and it
was in pursuance Of that plan that he
was given Il credit of $4,000 to de-
fray the expenses of removing, shell
tering and feeding helpless Americans,
and, presumably, other distressed for
eignerS from the scene of hoStilities.
Such action was necessary because of
reports from unofficial sources in
Mexico to the effect that many Amer
leans who willingly would quit the
city, were prevented from doing so by
lack Of funds for railroad t~ransporta-
ton.
Admiral Fletcher, who is in COM
mand Of the naval force now bound
for Vera Cruz, and Admiral Usher,
who will appear at Tampico within
the next "A hours, on his flagship Vir-
ginia. will act under similar instruc-
ions to those which govern Ambassa-
dor Wilson. These are generally I'M
derstood by ava officers to warrant

Secretary KnoX's view is that while
some American lives may be lost
through the wild and reckless firing
of the battling forces now in the city
of Mexico, it is certain that a great
many more lives would be lost as an
