believed almost assured here today.

apparent that the dictator would soon
be forced to resign, or be deposed by

DisaIproval Of Huerta's regime Is
spreading.
The Mexican newspaper controlled
by Huerta, today printed President
Wilson's message to congress with
huge headlines and Indignant com
nents. saving the president does not
know Mexican conditions and should
not have prophectsed that Huerta's
end as dictator is near. Comm entin9
