This. In effect. is the substance Of one
Of the most remarkable reports ever
presented by an American ambassador,
which was dictated by Henry Lane
Wilson, the ambassador t. Mexico, and
which is in the hands Of the President
Of the United States. The ambassador
was from 10 o'clock Saturday until 2
O'Clock Saturday afternoon preparing
this report, which he dictated to
corps of stenographers. From then on
until nearly o'clock he discussed the
entire situation with Secretary Of
State Bryan,

their revenues cannot be de-
vised. For four months their deficit
has been enormous. And every line OF
industry in Mexico is paraiyzed. not 10
much because of the internecine war

Just how far the ambassador went
with the suggestion that this country
recognize the Huerta government
could not be learned. 1t 10 known that
in his report 1t is stated that there 10
only one real, bona nde revolution in
Mexico, and that this IL the one In
Sonora.
Ever-Increas,ns Deficit.
Wilson declares that outward indica-
tions are that the Huerta faction is
solid one, with no dissension in the
ranks: but he adds the significant
statement that for nine months the
government has had deficit-increas-
ing with each period-to face.
The conference between the secre-
tary Of state and the ambassador was
earnest and most harmonious. At the
close each spoke in the highest terms
Of the other.
The ambassador explained to the
secretary that many Of the reports OF
insurgent success In Mexico were in
vented by the revolutionary junta in
this city. He explained the revolu-
tionary operations and dealt at length
with this phase Of the matter in his
report to the President. This report
will be gone over with President VIII
son when the President will have to
take up for solution the following prob
lens:
One Of Wilson's first acts was to as
sure his chief that statement attrib-
uted to him to the effect that his stay
in this city was costing Secretary
Bryan $500 day In lecture receipts"

cloth.
Questions to Answer.
How can this government best aid in
restoring peace in Mexico?
What part, II any. has Ambassador
Wilson had in the responsibility for
the present revolution?
Shall the ambassador <be permitted
to return to his post. or shall his res
ignation. on file since March 4th, be
accepted?
