WILSON'S STROKE"
COMMENTS LONDON
United States on the Very Edge
of Armed Intervention, Says
1.-The Mail"
LRv cable 20 The Tribune.l

London, April 15.-"Presdent Wilson 5
Stroke" This is how the principal edi-
torlal in The Daily Mail" describes the
dispatch to the Mexican coast Of the
United States Atlantic fleet. Continuing,
THE Daily Mail" says:
ct is a sign that the relations between
President Wilson and Huerta are approach
ing their inevitable climax. AS result
Of the crimes of the insurgents President
Wilson's sympathy for them has greatly
abated indeed IL seems TO the onlooker
at the present moment that the destruc-
ton Of Huerta's regime might actually
aggravate the difficulties Of the Mexican
position. The probabilities are that when
Huerta sees President Wilson is in ear
nest he will apologize. Meanwhile, the
United States is on the very edge OF
armed intervention, with all its incalcu-
liable consequences"
THE Morning POST asks, HAS Prssi-
dent Wilson at last lost faith in his
policy OF watchful waiting in regard to
Mexico" 1t then continues as follows:
The announcement that all the ships
Of the Atlantic fleet have been ordered
to Tampico does not imply, OF course,
that he has decided the time for inter
vention has come, but it is not unlikely
that this move may create situation
which will render intervention inevitable
and since the President and his advisers
must foresee such a possibility il is rea-
sonable TO assume that they are now pre-
pared to take strong action. Huerta mas
hitherto resisted successfully all the
pressure exerted by the American gov
eminent to make him resign. He is we'll
aware that President Wilson is most
anxious TO avoid acute intervention, and
may. therefore, be tempted into playing
game OF bluff but In this matter the
United States, having gone as far as II
has gone, is unlikely to recede until its
claims have been fully satisfied.
1T Is more than possible that the naval
demonstration is intended as warning
TO the Constitutionalists as we'll as to
Huerta. Both CarranZa and villa have
houted the American government in the
most offensive fashion on several occa
Slons. III tue HbntlnB now BolHS on
around Tampico the Constitutionalist
forces have already done considerable
damage TO valuable oil tanks and re-
fineries. and ordinary warnings as to the
necessity for respecting foreign property
are unlikely TO have much effect upon
them, but the presence OF a powerful
fleet at Tamplco may produce the desired
impression. They are more likely to pay
attention to the protests of the United
States when they realize that she has oil
the spot the means for enforcing respect
for her demands. but even il the immed-
ate crisis passes away and II Huerta
agrees TO salute the American nag and
II the Constitutionalists desst from the
destruction OF foreign property, the gen
eral problem will be no nearer solution.
How the President can hope without
Intervention TO secure the establishment
OF "A government I'm Mexico which will
conform To the standards laid down boy
hln IL Is difficult TO seq"

THREAT IS MOVE
TOWARD CANAL"
Borah Says Flag Will Not BE
Furled-Other Senator'S APP
plaud Wilson.
[From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, April 14.-Members of the
Senate. both those who have been impa-
tient over the "watchful waiting" policy
and those who have kept their own coun-
sell were disposed to look upon the dis
match of the feet to Tampico az unavoid-
able and as the first step toward inter-
vention.
Senator Borah, member or the FOR
eign Relations Committee. expressed the
opinion that II the flag Of the United
States were unfurled on Mexican terri
tory II would not be furled again.
1T will be the first STEP he said, In
the march toward the Canal
There are other Senators who think
the United States might be forced, even
against it's will. to retain possession or
AT least a portion OF Mexico, either by
assuming sovereignty or by 'protecto-
torate.
There was general agreement that the
President had taken the only action II
was possible for him to take. Even
those who have criticised his policy ad-
mitted to-day that the arrest or Ameri-
can marines at Tampico and the SUISSE
auent refusal Of Huerta TO make the con-

Warships Going to Tampico.

Rear Admiral Badger will take with
him the battleships Arkansas. Louisi-
ana, New Hampshire, Michigan, Yer
mont and New Jersey. The cruiser
Tacoma will sail from Boston. The
battleship South Carolina and the gun
boat Nashville will proceed from the
West Indies.
The battleships Utah, Connecticut
and Minnesota, the cruisers Chester
and Des Moines, the mine planter San
Francisco and the dispatch boat
Dolphin are now at Tampico. The bat
tleships Florida, flagship Of Rear Ad-
miral Fletcher, and Delaware, and the
transport Prairie, with 800 marines on
board, are at Vera Cruz.
The battleships Rhode Island, Ne
braska, Virginia and Georgia, consti-
tuting the third division of the At
lantic fleet, are now docking. 1t has
not been decided whether they shall be
sent, according TO the Navy Depart
ment announcements. 1t is believed
probable that the developments Of the
situation will demand their presence.
On board the transport Prairie, now
at Vera Cruz, are about five hundred
marines. There are as many more
scattered throughout the ships already
IN Mexican waters. Eight hundred
more will soon be at Tampro on the
transport Hancock.
When the fleet arrives the number OF
marines in Mexican waters will total
$500. At Pensacola, within easy strik-
| ing distance, are $40 more, and in
| Northern navy yards and stations and
| on the Pacific Coast are $50 more avail
able.
The bluejackcts now in Mexican
waters number 5,462. The ships Just
ordered there will carry s,12e, giving a
total strength Of 1851.
The army has between 10000 and
| 10000 men at Texas City, within three
days Of Vera Cruz and the railway to
Mexico City.
The torpedo fotillas at Pensacola
consist Of the destroyers Henley, Dray-
ton, Mayrant, Mccall, Warrington,
Pauding, Ammen, Burrows, Patterson.
Trippe. Tanning, Beale, Jenkins, Jarvis
and Jouett. They carry from eighty
five TO ninety-three men each There
are also thirteen destroyers in reserve
at Pensacola. The tender Dixie, with
349 men, now at Pensacola, will accom-
pany the destroyers if they are ordered
| TO Mexico.

II the rebels should wipe out this Fed
eral force 1t would mean that Saltillo and
Monterey could be easily taken. and this.
il is declared, would be certain TO bring
on international complications OF dis
agreeable character. There are many
Spaniards at both OF these centres and 1t
is believed that Villa would drive them
out OF the country. This would be most
embarrassing to the administration, and
the possibilities OF the situation are be-
lieved TO have had part III inducing the
President TO take definite action.
The report OF Huerta getting A5,O0o,cO
loan came only recently to the State De-
partment With this money Huertas po-
sition was made more secure. The pay
ments are TO be made at twenty-day IN
tervals in sums of 50, 900 900, and it is con-
sidered here that this means that so long
as the payments are going on Huerta
will cling tenaciously 10 his job. In con-
sequence it is considered that Huertas
"crumbling" will be more remote than
ever, and that II he is to be eliminated
the time for action has come. Huerta
got his loan from local bankers, giving as
security certain unissued bonds.
