most enjoyable time. Paul butcher.
of the Bookings Register, was elected
second vice-president of the ~associa-
ton, which means, in the regular
course of events, that two years from
now he will be elected president. Mr..
butcher is n of the old time mem

Mexican territory controlled by American
forces He pointed out that the
question of the American troops might
soon become n domestic issue which might
cause Internal dissension The President
discussed the subject with his cabinet
some of whom it is understood, did not
favor the move. It wSs finally the con-
census of opinion that the main purpose
OF the American expedition to Vera
Cruz-to runish the affront to the flag
at Tampco-had been achieved through
the occupation itself and the forcing of
IIuerta's abdcation as provisional prosi-
dent The holding of the port of Vera
Cruz MS an act of reprisal against
Huorta, It Is admitted. was one of the
factors which starved luerta into sub
mission.
Another circumstance which Influenced
the Presidents judgment was the ap-
preaching general convention of military
chiefs on October 1. On that date pro-
visional president will be designated. 1t
may be Carranza or another. General
Carranza wished to he able to turn over
the power to a successor with the coun-
try absolutely at peace with It's northern
nclghbor. He argued that charges fire.
quently had been made that the consu-
tutionalists came into power through the
assistance OF the United states, con-
tention from which anti-American feeling
often was fomented in Mexico.
on the question of recognition 1t Is
known that the President and his advis-
ers have reached no decision. The con-
ference on October / will designate n pro-
vsonal president who will undoubtedly
be recognized II all factions accept him.
The United states as well as Argentina,
Brazil and Chile will consider the popu-
lar acceptance Of the provisional presi-
dent chosen at that conference as the
fulnlment Of the protocols signed at the
Niagara Falls mediation conference.
