FRENCH BANKERS
BLAME WILSON

Trouble Now.
Try Cable 10 The Tribune J

Paris, April ls.-The French government
on the return OF Ambassador Herrick to
Paris to-day renews its assurances OF
assent to President Wilson's Mexican
programme At the same time. French
capitalists whose money is invested In
Mexico regret the situation. which In
their opinion might easily have been
avoided had the Washington CABINET
adopted n Grmer policy year ago.
French bankers publish statements to-
day showing that France has AOVV,Wo
invested In Mexico. distributed among
eight Mexican loans issued between the
years 1899 and 1910. and also In bank, rail-
road. mining and other industrial securi-

out its plans for transferring by water
large force of troops, with the great bulk
of subsistence, camp equipment and am
munitlon which necessarily accompany
such a force in any movement which In
wolves a separation from the base OF sup
plies
The principal difficulty encountered by
the army quartermasters who have TO do
with this aspect of the situation Is not
that there is a lack Of steamships suit
able. or which might easily be made suit
able, for the service, but there would have
TO be incurred an extra expense TO repay
the loss sustained by the steamship lines
by the interruption of their travel. or
course, I'm time of war this would be a
consideration which could not be permit
ted to operate as a serious hindrance TO
any programme for troop transportation.
No explanation was forthcoming at the
Navy Department to-day over the fact
that the orders TO the marines on the
west coast TO proceed TO Mexico were yes
terday morning revoked but put into ef-
feet again yesterday afternoon. In fact
officials were not inclined TO admit the
truth Of the statement, but there is no
doubt whatsoever that the thing hap
pened. 1t is Judged thu the fiuctuation
was due TO the ill-founded optimism which
prevailed In official circles on the day
before. when 1t was stated by the Secre-
tarv of State that Huerta had decided to
give in.
