c. diplomats 70 prevent . further
clash between the United States and
Huerta and his followers in Mexico,
there seems little doubt but they will
meet An obstacle early in the negotis-
tions, which will put an end to fur
ther dealings. Should this occur, it is
well undentood that . call for all
national guard forces Of the Unitsd
States will be issued and an army Of
no less than 250,0OO will be sent TO
General Funston in Vera Cruz that he
may march through to Mexico City and
attack and capture that Huerts
stronghold.
That the United States government
will demand the immediate withdrawal
Of Huerta as dictator Of Mexico seems
certain. That Huerta will as quickly
refuse to withdraw is just IS certain
for, during the past few days, he ha.
issued statements which, though in.
tended to bear only information to the
foreign powers, it is clearly seen be-
tween the lines, that Huerta has issued
a call upon the Mexican people to rally
to his standard sad fight the "inva-
sion Of the United States
In these statements he dwells at
length on his "duty as a patriot and
citizen of Mexico.'' 1t is very evil
dent that he hoped to mislead the Mex.
lean people generally and, while they
were under the fire of patriotic fervor,
they should volunteer to stand with
him in fighting this country.
The A. B. c. diplomats are already
gathering together their plans whereby
they hope to prevent further trouble.
But, since the present trouble is an
outgrowth of the insult to the flag
some weeks ago and for which Huerta
refused to apologize As demanded by
President Wilson, it is believed that
the Huerta representatives in the
peace meeting will demand that that
question be settled first. In other
words. Huerta will demand that the
United States agree to arbitrate with
him for insulting the flag of this
country. This the United States will
not do and the end may come in the
early hours of the negotiations.
1t is also well known that Huerta
will not agree to abdicate. This de-
mand will be made by the United
States, and, should the negotiations
reach that point, another stumbling
block will have been reached and it is
feared the peace diplomats cannot get
over it. This will mean the immediate
beginning of hostilities and, when they
start again, it will mean the complete
wiping out Of Huerta and his crowd of
supporters.
A number of battles have been
fought the past week between the
Huertaites and the rebels. In every
instance the latter have been victorious
and they are gradually closing in on
the last strongholds Of Huerts and the
end must come sooner or later. At
the present tins General villa ID pre-
pairing to attack ealtillo, one Of the
most important strongholds Of Husrta.
