IN
MEXICO CERTAIN
President Has Decided To
Send American Troops
Across Border.
HUERTA MUST YIELD
Foreign Nations Have Boon informed
OF Final Decision OF the United
States.


Mexico will be the next step en- the
part of the United States, is the in
formation obtained tonight from high
diplomatic authority,
The exact date Will depend largely
upon the result of John LinG's con.
ference with the President at Pass
Christian. 1t has developed that Pass
Christian was selected as the place
for the Presidents holiday secluson
in order that he might summon Lind
for a conference with the least degree
Of publicity. 1t was planned that
Lind's visit should be kept secret, but
that was found impossible
1t can be said definitely that the
governments OF Germany, France.
England and Japan have been advised
by their Washington ambassadors that
the President sees no way out of the
situation, except to take hand He
is convinced that Huerta's term will
last until at least next October and he
is determined not to await until that
time and suffer present conditions te
continue.
In direct answer to the President
during conferences at the White
House within the last few weeks, NJ.
Jules Jusserand, French ambassador,
Count Won Bernesteroff, the German
ambassador, and Sir Spring-Rice, the
British ambassador, informed the
President that they had no suggestions
to make except to express the hope
that this government would move to
pacify Mexico. In this they We're join
ed by Baron Chinda, representing
Japan.
The following definite points in the
Mexican situation are definitely ac-
cepted by the diplomatic corps and
by high American officials.
First-That American intervention
cannot be avoided.
Second-That the attitude of Ger
many, France, England and Japan is
passive and that all Mexican obliga-
tons to foreign nations will be left to
be settled through the United States.
Third-That President Huerta does
not intend to relinquish his post be-
fore the next elections.
Fourth-Tnat- President Huerta's
defiance of the United States is due te,
his impression through the press and
semi-official reports that the Ameri-
can party is neither adequate or pre-
pared to undertake any military oper-
atoms south of the boundry line.
It is admitted that the President
deliberately shelved the Mexican ques-
ton as much as possible until the
currency and tariff legislation had
been made secure With this legisla-
ton out of the way, it is believed he
is ready to take hold of the Mexican
problem with a firm hand.
The foreign ambassadors here have
already notified their governments
that armed intervention in Mexico will
not mean permanent occupation OF
territory and that A american troops
will withdraw as soc as Mexico is
pacified.
The Presidents last hope expressed
to the ambassadors just before ne
lasA for Pass Christian, was that Car
or some other leader might
= 1eed in ousting Huerta, but this
hope has been blasted by the informa-
tion that Huerta has succeeded in OBJ
tanning funds in Europe.
In the event Of intervention, 1t is
expected that Europe's purse strings
will be closed to Huerta, in order to
aid this government to pacify the
country as rapidly as possible.
That the intended move by the
United States will not take the forms
~ "neaceful blockade" but that it Will
mean the aggressive invasion OF Mex
lean territory by American troops IS
practically settled.
It is realized that blockade OF the
norts will mean that the Mexicans
will, keep ON fighting in the interior
and that just as much damage will pc
l,done to American interests in Mexico
