Witnesses the Dawn of a New
Era In Its Bloody. History
Peace May Be Restored

Gcneral Huertn's resignation as pro-
visional president OF Mexico was
hailed by official Washington tonight
az the first practical step toward a
quick solution of the Mexican prob
lem. Constitutionalists, diplo and Of
flcials Of the United States were elat-
ed over General Huerta's voluntary
withdrawal and predicted an era of
peace In his country.
Although the cOnstitutionalists have
dtclarcd they would not recognize
Francisco Carbnjal as provisional
president. and the United States gov
ernment likewise will refuse to recog-
ni2e him. the understanding hero is
that the new executive will hold Office
only until arrangements can be made
for the entry of General Carranza, the
constitutionalist chief.

General Carranza, the mediators t.o-

into such conferences. He thus might
Z guarantee himself immediate recog-

factions without waiting for an cleo
