to the peace plans of the South Amer
lean ENJOYS, When formal acceptance
comes from Huerta, formal proposals
will be made simultaneously to the
American government and the Huerta
administration
The attitude of the administration
long has been established that the
elimination of Huerta was an essen
tial to any final settlement Of the
Mexican problem This view was reit-
Grated when senators and repre-
sentatives were consulted as to the
proposal of good offices. But while
maintaining this view as to what
would ultimately be essential to real
settlement, there has been no formal
submission of such condition to the
ENJOYS now entrusted with the work
of Cancellation.
While the Latin-American ENJOYS
bent their energies toward negotia-
lions for peace, the war and navy de-
partments directed their activities to-
ward bringing Americans out of Mex
leo and to the transfer of the situa-
/ ton at Vera Cruz from the navy to the
army with the arrival of Brigadier
General Funston and his army brigade.

Meanwhile the navy and war depart

Secretary Daniels announced he had
telegraphed the full text of the media

United States to both Rear Admirals
Badger and Howard, with instructions
to have the commanders Of all ships on
the east and west coasts spread the
news throughout Mexico. BY this Mr.

Americans may be alleviated and refu-

Adyices received through the Brit

arrangements for the safe departure
Of Americans from Mexico City, while
the French ambassador gave the state
department a message he had received
from the French legation stating that
while there had been some anti-Ameri-
