MORE INTERVENTION TALK
Washington and Foreign Capt.
tails Believe 1t Is
Coming.

Villas rebel army has invested the
city Of Chihuahua. whose military Gov
ernor has asked President Huerta TO
give him permission to evacuate in the
face Of a superior force.
other Federal Generals iatly refuse
to cvacuate the city and declare that
they will fight to a finish.
Gen. Blanquet in an interview at
Mexico city said last night that ne
would not accept the Presidency Of
Mexico should Congress confer the
executive position on him.
Intervention Is regarded by well in
formed observers at Washington as the
probable elimination Of the Admin!stra-
ions steps in the Mexican situation un-
less Huerta voluntarily yields to Ameri-
can pressure.
This view IL shared by foreign OBJ
servers. The Mexican Governments in
ability to pay its employees Is pointed
I..1ut by the London Daily Mail as show
.ng the need Of Intervention.
Press opinion in Germany and France
also emphasizes the Mexican financia
crisis as strong contributory factor
FOR forcible action by the United States
The German Government believes that
further forbearance toward Mexico has
ceased to be a virtue. according to in
formation received from a Government
source by THE Sun correspondent IN
