President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan in sending posthaste for Am
bassador Henry Lane Wilson, have
given positive evidence that the
United States is facing crisis.
The administration now knows
that England is not asking irrelev-
ant questions about the recognition
or nonrecognition of Huerta, but
that she is asking the United States
70 act up to or abandon the Monroe
Doctrine as to Mexico. The Euro
pean nations, led and probably
agged on by Great Britain, demand
that the United States make peace
promptly in Mexico or let other ma.

Storm Bursts Suddenly.
The administration realizes the
either this government has not been
kept informed of the international
Mot going on In Mexico City, or
that II has been misinformed hy

Mexico City as to what was hap

Notwithstanding the positive
statements that Ambassador Wilson
has been called here for consultat on

dangerous importance and potential
tiles for protracted trouble.
Demand Action at Once.
Great Britain is on record in the
, Peruvian Putumayo dispute some
/, months ago as admitting and point
ing ont that it Is the duty Of the
| United States to deal with the wes
tern continent republics.
The troabie in this case, how
ever. is that the duty of the United
! States as IL is understood by Great
Britain and the diplomatic corps In
Mexico City has not been performed
and neither the press In the United
States or any foreign nation has
been informed since March a.

No one here expects Ambassador
Wilson to go back to Mexico City

II is known that he has gotten along
well with the Huerta government
both socially and otherwise, and a:
a matter of fact. aside from the
fiimsiest kind of technieality, Am
bassador Wilson has recognized tht
Huerta government whether the
United States has recognized it OF
not.
Satisfaction is Demanded.
The shock which has been given
to President Wilson and to Secre-
tary Bryan by Great Britain is that
she is not asking for the recognition
Of Huerta. but that she is asking the
United States If she will or will not
do her duty in Mexico under the
Monroe Doctrine or to let the world
| know that this government excerpts
Mexico from the operation of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Englands position is regarded as
the natural result of the quarrel OF
Great Britain with the United States
over the Panama Canal tolls affairs
and of the quarrel of Japan, Great
Britain's ally. with the United
States over the California land law
affair.
Bith Great Britain and Japan
took precisely the same attitude in
their quarrel with the United States
and they both assert that tn.
United States has violated treaty
and are demanding satisfaction,
Great Britain by arbitration and
Japan in a final note which is soon
to come to the United States.
