to this accommodating your carrier
you will get your mail more

BELIEVE HUERTA REGIME

That De La Barra Will Take Up Reins
When the Huerta Structure Falls,
is the General Belief.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN admin.
istration circles that the Huerta re
gime in Mexico is rapidly approach
ing a collapse has led to much discus
sion here of the nature of John Lind's
frequent conferences with Mexican
leaders. Relief is expressed that
President Wilson's representative is
surveying the situation to determine
how events will shape themselves
when the Huerta structure falls.
Mr.. Lind's latest conferences with
Jesus Flores Magon and other Mex
lear statesmen have interested men,
oers OF the diplomatic corps who
pointed out that in view of President
Wilson's reiterated statements that
he would not recognize Huerta nor
any OF the things for which he stands,
the American envoy might naturally
be induced to throw out hints as to
what type Of man would meet ap-
proval at the White House. They
thought that Mexicans would in all
likelihood embrace an opportunity to
sound Mr. Lind informally as to the
acceptability of various leaders who
might arise when the crisis is reach
ed So far as officials here are ad-
vised. the vicissitudes which preceded
the Madero revolt and followed the
downfall of that leaders stormy in
cumbency Of the presidency have not
detracted from the high standing
which Francisco de la Barra, at pres
ent minister to France. attained as
the man Of the hour when General
Diaz was forced to abdicate.
Senior de la Barra was brought for
ward as the leader who as provis-
ional president would placate factions
pending a new election. Some Of the
diplomats believe that De la Barra
could again compose the situation in
Mexico SO as to permit of the choice
of a successor to Huerta. They re-
gard him as the nan under whose
leadership all factions would be most
likely to shift their activities from
the battlefield to the ballot box.
