Washington, April 2O.-President Wilson
today answered Huerta's defiance by ask
ing congress-, assembled in joint session,
for approval to 'use the armed forces OF
the United States in such ways and to such
extent as may be necessary to obtain from
General Huerta and his adherents the full
lest recognition of the rights and dignity
Of the United States"
The president did not ask for any ap-
preparation of money at this time, nor for
authority to call out the National Guard.
There can be no thoght Of aggression or
Of selfish aggrandizement," declared the
president to the sober-faced throng OF SEN
ators and representatives which packed
tae hall Of the house.
This government can, I earnestly hope,
in no circumstances be forced into war
with the people Of Mexico. II armed con-
fiict should unhapily come as the result OF
(Huerta's) attitude Of personal resentment
towards this government, we should be
fighting only General Huerta and those
who adhere to him and give him support

The refusal of Mexico to accede to Ad-
miral Henry T. Mayo S demand that the
Stars and Stripes be honored by the custo-
mary salute from the guns Of the federals
at Tampico was the action that caused
President Wilson to finally assume a very
militant attitude towards Mexico, melting
him to order the cream Of the United
States navy to proceed to Mexican wather
under command Of Admiral Badger, the
head OF the Atlantic fleet. 1t is generally
believed that this extraordinary naval dem
ontsation on the part Of Uncle Sam in Mex
lean waters will bring President Huerta to
his senses and at least cause him to SER
iously consider the possibility Of interven-
ton on the part Of the United States.
