Washington, April 29.-Mediation
waits now upon Carranza and Villa
while the United States and Huerta
mark time.
Even the preliminaries can go no
further until the principle of media
ton, term employed by Secretary
Bryan, is accepted by the third party
to the proceeding. That third party
at present is constituted of Villa and
Carranza. If reports of split be.
tween the two Constitutionalist lead.
ers are true there may be four parties
to mediation.
Unless an overt act comes from
Huerta or the Constitutionalists a vir-
tual armistice in the Mexican tS0uble
may exist for week or more.
The whole situation is now in some
what unstable condition and may very
easily be transformed again into act
ual conflict.
Such an occurrence the United
States is earnestly desirous of pre-
venting 1t will take no military steps
of aggression, unless compelled to do
so by Huerta, until mediation fails
definitely.
Name Conditions Next.
The acceptance by the United
States and Huerta are preliminary to
conditions that will be named by each,
as soon as the mediators are ready
to receive proposals.
1t is expected that if an acceptance
they also will have conditions to pro-
pose.
Thus three sets of demands will be
laid before the South American diplo-
mats, after which the real tug of war
will begin. The task of reconciling
widely divergent demands will be her.
oulean, perhaps impossible.
While the next few days may be
bereft of dramatic events in the Mexi-
can trouble, they will be no less inn
Lortant than any period that has pre-
ceded them.
A big experiment is being tried out,
and during the trial it is not likely
that the public in either country will
get much information as to what is
going on behind the diplomatic doors.
The situation now is far too delicate
for exposure to public discussion and
ciamor 1t must be handled in an at
nlosphere where no martial talk per-
yades.
No exact method of procedure has
been adopted by the mediators and in
just what manner negotiations will be
conducted has not been determined
Three Not Arbltrators.
The three mediators are not arbi-
traitors. Their only real function is to
convey to the various parties concern
ed the conditions suggested by each.
Decision as to these conditions rests
With the individual parties and not
with the mediators, who are not en-
powered to make any decisions or
findings.
Mediation is necessary, If the Unit
ed States and Huerta are to negotiate
at all, because both having dismissed
each others representatives 1t is i'm
possible for them even to talk to each
other. Therefore, third party must
act virtually as a carrier of messages
between them.
The mediators, spurred by sneers
in the European press, are doubly anx-
ious to make a success of their mis-
II l.
said they may propose is the estab-
lishment of a sort of temporary poll
teal protectorate in Mexico, with a
period during which fighting may
cease and plans be devised for q con.
stitutional election.

Resolutions by B. T. Lee Mite Mis-
sionary society and stewardess board:
One of earth's purest souls has de-
parted and left the love and sorrow
of this life to share the joy and bliss
of heaven. Of all those of whom we
have known none were Of such rare
worth to US as she. Gentle as an
angel she moved among US, leaving a
blessing and word for her Master.
Now since she has faded from our
sight her worth and beautiful life
seem infinitely increased. When she
realized that the time Of her depart
ure was at hand she was sweetly re-
signed and gave her friends her part
ing blessings and assurance Of meet
ing them in heaven. She had no fear
of death. We will always remember
Sister Amy Green as loyal church
worker, a Christian woman. We will
miss her in our community. Her voice
is stilled in death. Another link Is
broken from the chain, but God knows
best when our work is finished.
The sister stewardesses will miss
her loving council and unerring devo-
tion for their Christian work. -
The B. T. Lee M. M. society will
never forget her service rendered to
the society one year ago and the COM
forting advice and how she enjoyed
giving her aid during the M. M. con-
ference. To day she is basking In the
sunlight of God waiting for her loved
ones to join her on the other bright
shore.
