eral Carranza for his own retirement
Certain Of peace in Mexico within
q very short Time the adminis-
tration was today considering the
best means of aiding In the restora-
& On of that shattered republic Re-
ports that General Carranza was in
clined to recede from his promise to
quit, are not credited here. It is ex-
planned that naturally Carranza Is
trying his best to drive bargain
that will be advantageous TO him
self and his closest lieutenants, but
that his elimination, with that Of
villa, is certain.
One thing Mexico will not have to
face will be demand on the part OF
the United States for indemnity re-
sulting from the war-like deInonstra-
tons on her coasts and the occupation
OF Vera Cruz. The expenses incurred
In this way will be borne by the

the equivalent of asking bankrupt,
who had failed for 100 per cent. to
pay his creditors in full on penalty

restore the republic of Mexico to its
place in the country and to raise
cash necessary for this purpose. Be-
cause of the European war, Mexico
must depend on the United States
and the South American countries
for the cash she will now SO urgently
need.
Carranza Is expected to go to Ha-
,vana within a week or ten days for
lengthy stay. Those who know him
best believe that he will be out of
Mexico before the American troops

officials. He is then expected to make
a general tour of the United States.
The state department has instructed
Consul John r. Silliman at Mexico
City to keep it informed regarding the
negotiations with Carranza. Secre-
tary Bryan does not know why Car

emphasized today his belief that his
delay will not complicate the situa-

There is no Disgusting the relief of
the administration officials over the
present outlook. Only some unfore-
seen complication, they say. can upset
the peace program. But, because of
disappointments in the past, they pre-
fer to withhold comment until the
C-uttierez government is actually in
the saddle in the northern capital.
