In the present tense situation regard
ing probable hostilities in Mexico the
attitude of the constitutonalists is Of
deep concern to officials here.

unite with their federal foes against in
vasion by a foreign power, and whether
the constitutionalists who now hold the
entire northern territory of Mexico,
would oppose entry through the domain
they have seized by the United States
soldiers modified along the border in
the event that these troops were needed
in the interior-these are problems that
are causing war officials considerable con-

Caution Is Advocated.

Washington representatives of the con-
stitutionalists have telegraphed their
leaders counseling careful and cautious
policy and suggesting that no pronounce
ment of any kind be interiected into the
situation. The constitutionaiists here are
emphatic in their expressions that they
do not recognize Gen. Huertas govern
ment or his right to conduct the inter-
national relations of the country. and de-
clare that SO long as territory controlled
by their forces is not invaded they will
take no offensive action. On the other
hand they realize that the internal sit
uation in Mexico would be gravely COM
plicated IL Gen. Huerta should regard
American reprisals for the Tampico in
cident as sufficient provocation for war
and call upon the people of Mexico to
rally to the national defense. The const-
tutionalists. however. do not recognize
as legally organized the senate in Mexico
City, to which Gen. Huerta has sub
mitted the American demand.

Bartholdt's Views.

Representative Bartholdt of Missouri.
republican member Of the committee
and chairman of the American delega-
tion to the Interparuamentary Peace
Union. expressed this view:
II do not regard the Tampico incident
as a cause for war. The difference be-
tween the flve-gun salute which they
offered to fire and the twenty-one guns
the President insists upon, would not
justify the shedding of the blood of a
single American soldier or sailor"
Representative Ainey said that while
technically the proposed blockade of
Mexican ports requires congressional
authority, he believed no one would
quibble on such q matter. He also said
that republicans will stand behind the
President to a man
The Constitution requires that acts OF
war be ordered by Congress, and the
blockade of a port is certainly an act OF
war, to my mind However, the Presi-
dents declaration to Huerta is certainly
an act Of war, taken technically: but
who is there to cr1ticise 1t? There is nc
appeal: so the matter is simply one OF
technical legality. ] don't suppose any
republican is going to be foolish enough
to criticise the President"

The committee discussed at length the
conditions In Mexico City itself and the
status of Charge d. d'Affaires o Shaughnes-
sy. His association with Gen. Huerta
and the Mexican administration was criti-
cised-
The President believes" said a mem
her of the committee after the meet
ing that Shaughnessyi relations
with Gen Huerta are more friendly
than are justified by the present con-
ditionS in Mexico"
Other members Of the committee said
that the question of the recall of
OShaughnessy had been discussed but
that it was stated that the President
believes that 1t would be impossible
to accredit his successor to the de
facto government in Mexico City with
out tacitly recognizing Huerta- This,
il was said. he is not willing to do.
