American troops into Mexico unless
Villa and Carranza came to an agree

White House.
According to officials, the Carbajal
government invited the United States
to send troops from Vera Cruz to
Mexico City to prevent the expected
excesses of tile Constitutionalists on
reaching the Mexican capital. The re-
quest precipitated a long cabinet dis
cussion. Some members favored ac-
cepting it. President Wilson stood out
firmly against it, feeling that American
troops would surely be drawn into
conflict.
Urgent messages were sent to Car
rama pointing out the dangers of
battle at Mexico City, but in none of
the communicate tions, it was stated of
fiCially, was any threat made to send
American troops.
