of a week Of waiting for Carranza

with all possible speed. Friday they
put the first plank of the protocol
in writing. Within a week they eX-
pect TO have the entire agreement

step and is expected TO make the rest

corporated in the plank agreed upon
Friday are as follows:
Agree on Several Points.
THAT a provisional government
shall succeed the present government
of Mexico.
2+The laws Of the present govern
ment shall be the laws Of the pro-
visional government.
3-It shall be the first duty Of the
new government to repress ali HOSTILE
ties. to maintain order and prepare

all federal officials of the government
shall be chosen by the people.
Who shall constitute the chief
executive officers of the provisional
government mad just how they shall
be indicted into office were questions
discussed today, but not decided upon.
The tentative plan is that Pres. HUI

to the mediators as his secretary OF
foreign affairs, and then resign there
by making his appOintee provisional
president automatically.
