Niagara Falls, Ont-Alore explicit
information about the attitude of Gen
eral Carranza than was contained in
his last communication brought by
Juan F. Urquidi or the unofficial state
ment to the press telegraphed from
Durango is awaited by the mediators
before deciding on the subject of Con-
stitutionalist representation here. This
may be obtained from the Washing
ton government.
The statement from Durango did not
clarity the situation as to the points
they are interested in: Whether Car
rama will agree to an armistice for
ten days or two weeks or more and
whether his representatives will agree
to discuss the entire subject of paci-
fication of Mexico.
The expression from Durango did
not alter opinion of the mediators to-
ward the constitutionalists. The diplo-
mats say that from the outset they
have kept the interests of the Consti-
tutionalists in mind and have planned
to give them as great a share in the
new government as is proportionate
with their strength.
The concentration of Federal forces
at San Luis Potosi, where the Huerta
troops are confident of checking the
Constitutionalist advance, is in line
with the mediators' belief that the
capture of Mexico City is still months
away.
