Washington, D. C.--The one danger
TO be apprehended in the Mexican sit.
nation. which might certainly result
in the launching of an army OF inva.
sion, would be the commission of some
acts in Mexico that would endanger
the lives of foreign citizens and Amer.
leans.
Having assured the diplomatic rep
resentatives in Washington of the dis
position and ability of this govern.
ment TO protect their nationals in
Mexico in the same degree as Ameri.
cans, the government has assumed an
obligation that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, any attack upon foreign.
ers by the tacit consent of the Huerta
government, or even the exhibition to.
ward them of mob violence clearly be-
yond the ability of the provisional
government to prevent, probably
would be the signal for active inter.
vention.
Situation Now Most Tense.
The killing of Francisco |. Madero

Wilson of the safety of his prisoners
from just such attacks. created a
painful impression in administration

that they have discharged their full
duties and exhausted their constitu'
tional powers in the orders they have

1t is practically certain that beyond
this point the executive would not
