government which he desires them to
have we cannot imagine"
The Daily Telegraph regards the situa-
ton as extremely grave and disconcert-
ing. It describes President Wilson's con-
tention that he is only opposing Huerta as
extraordinary fiction"
The Standard refers to the United
states az having wandered In u casual,
somnambulistic way" into what threatens
to be q very bad sort of war. The paper
says:
The events of the last few days show
the impossibilty of conducting hostilities
on the limited liability principle. They
also show the folly of ignoring the ordi-
nary instincts of human beings. To es-
pect the Mexicans to look on the opera
ton against person named Huerta. with
complete detachment is to show extraordi-
nary lack OF imagination.
MANY Mexicans do not think much OF
Huerta; possibly many Americans have
the same opinion of Bryan. but every
American from Florida to Alaska would
be convulsed with fury IL foreign marines
landed In New York to secure the ex-
pulsion of tn. author of grape juice
diplomacy"
The Times, which says incidentally that
the seizure of Vera Cruz was carried
through with the traditional eff cheney of
the American navy" fears the United
states is being drawn into operations that
must ultimately resolve themselves into n
campaign or series OF campaigns
against Mexico. Gen. Carranza's note
to the Washington Government. it says.
forebodes an alliance of all Mexicans to
resist further American action.
