test that now distraets Mexico or con-
stitute ourselves the virtual umpire be
tween them.
- am happy to say that several OF
the great governments OF the world
have given this government their gem
erous moral support in urging upon tho
provisional authorities at the city OF
Mexico the acceptance of our proffered
good offices in the spirit in which they
were made.
1--WE have not acted in this matter
under the ordinary principles Of inter-
national obligation. All the world ex-
poets us In such circumstances to act
as Mexicos nearest friend and Intimate
advisor
"tThis is our relation toward her
morally. There is nowhere any serious
question that we have the moral right
I'm the case or that we are acting In
the interest of an unfair settlement We
act for no selfish purpose. IL further
motives were necessary other than our
good will toward a sister republic and
our own deep concern to see peace and
order prevail in Central America. this
consent of mankind to what we are at
tempting would have been an attitude
of perverseness toward a nation to
which we attempt to deal frankly in a
distressed hour with appeals coming
from her peoples at our very door and
we are solemnly bound to go To the ut
most length OF patience and forbearanee
in this painful and anxious office. The
steady pressure of moral force OF many
days will break the bars of prejudice
and we shall triumph at the end as
Mexico's friend and sooner than as her
enemy. How much more handsomely
could we act? There Is apparent the
finest spirit of conciliation and honor. -

recognized Provisional President Huerta.
he would have established an orderly
government throughout Mexico.
The Chronicle thinks it possible Presi-
dent Wilson still has reason to anticipate
eorcessions on Huerta's part, which VIII
make a revised programme possible.
Judieious and Prudent
The Daily News says that il only the
European powers do not stiffen Huerta' s
back. President Wilson's policy will prove
as judicious as 1t is prudent.
The Daily Mail, in ironical vein. de-
olares that what the Washington govern.
ment most needs is a policy. and asks
whether President Wilson supposes that
the American citizens in Mexico manag-
ing public utilities representing $4,000 00l
capital can put the railways and tram
ways in their pockets when they leave
or whether they are to leave-t them behind
1t says that the message should be quiti
popular in Mexico
Its only possible claim to reason adds
the paper. rs that IL is the precursor
of an ultimatum, and of this we have
no hint. Is not Mr.. Wilson an apostle of
peace?'
The Times, in an editorial, contend
ing that the message. while admirable
in tone and worthy President Wilson's 8
reputation as a peace advocate, has a
drawback in being irrelevant to the main
point. The Times proceeds to ask why

FOREIGN PAPERS LOOK UPON MESSAGE
OF WILSON FROM VARIOUS VIEWPOINTS

London. August 2s.-The London morn
ing papers commenting on President VIII
sons message are not altogether sanguine
OF the wisdom or success of President
Wilson's policy. but are agreed that IL is
almost certain to lead to American inter-
vention, therefore indicating that a grave
crisis has been reached
The Morning Post says: president VIII
son will have his hands full II he sets
himself up as the censor of morals for
the presidents of Latin-Amerlca and If
the United States accepts the duty of
supporting the duly elected President,
Mexico would become in fact, If not IN
name. an American protectorate"
The Express says: President Wilson Is
not the man to bluff on such a question.
From his stern and explicit message it
is clear that Mexico must either climb
down or fight. If the former she ad-
mits American suzerainty; If the latter.
she must lose her independence alto
gether. Great Britain has large interests
and much to lose by war, but it is diff
ficut to understand how British sym.
pathy could be otherwise bestowed than
on the United States"

ident Wilson displays an excessive belief

GIVEN GENEROUS
MORAL SUPPORT

Foreign powers. it was understood to-

embargo on the shipment of munitions
of war or arms to Mexico. but the Pres
ident in his message asserted tnat this
government had been given the gener-
Gus moral support of foreign nations
in the proposals to the Huerta govern
ment which have been rejected. 1t be-
came known that the administration
has under serious consideration the or
daring of several thousand more troops
10 the Mexican border line. and it is
