pointed that the record thus far
would show hat the administration
had been acting with exact neutrality
as between the Mexican federals and

The general belief here with respect
20 mediation Is that the outlook is
more hopeful in view OF Huerta's pres
ent attitude and there are many who
believe General Carranza's answer TO
the recent note Of the South Ameri-
can mediating ENJOYS will pave the
way for reception Of his delegates 10
the peace conference. CarrauZa's rep
resentatiyes here expected 10 hear
from thir chief at Saltillo tomorrow.
