FACTIONS IN MEXICO

WASHINGTON, d. C..-President
Wilson's warning to Mexico that the
limited States cannot permit present
conditions to continue went forward
by telegraph today TO American
agents, who will deliver it to the FAC
tional leaders, and was at the same
time made public at the white house
The statement, which goes TO Ca
rama, Villa, Zapata and CARA, the
principal leaders, not as dlplomatle
note from the United States but AS
a declaration of President Wilson
attitude expressed in a statement to
the American people, is as follows:
For more than two years reVolu-
tionary conditions have existed In
Mexico. The purpose of the reVolu-
ton was to rid Mexico of men who
ignored the constitution of the re-
public and used their power in con-
tempt of the right of its people; and
with these purposes the United States
distinctly and generously sympathlz-
ed. But the leaders of the revolution
in the very hour of their success have
disagreed and turned their arms
against one another.
Unwilling to Cooperate
"All protesting the same objects,
they are nevertheless unable or I'M
willing to cooperate. A central au-
ic
set I'D than it is undermined and its
authority denied by those who are
expected to support It.
Mexico is apparently no nearer
solution of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was first
kindled. And she has been swept by
civil war as if by fire. Her crops are
destroyed, her fields lie unseeded, her
work cattle are cOnfiscated for the
use of the armed factions, her people
flee to the mountains to escape being
drawn into unavailing blOodshed and
no man seems to see or lead the way
to peace and settled order. There is
no proper protection either for her
own citizens or for the citizens OF
other nations resident and at work
within her territory. Mexico is starV-
ing and without a government.
Nation to Stand it No Longer.
I'm these circumstances the people
and government of the United States
cannot stand indifferently by and do
nothing to serve their neighbor. They
want nothing for themselves in Mex
leo Least of all do they desire to
settle her affairs for her, or claim
any right to do so. But neither do
they wish to see utter ruin come up
on her, and they deem it their duty
as friends and neigh bors to lend anv
aid they properly can to any instru-
mentality which promises to be eff
fective in bringing about a settle
ment which will embody the real OBJ
jects of the revolution-constitu-
tional government and the rights OF
the people. Patriotic Mexicans are
sick at heart and cry out for peace
and for every self-sacrifice that may
be necessary to procure it. Thelr
people cry out for food and will pres
emily hate as much as they fear eV-
cry man, in their country or out
it, who stands between them ami
their daily bread.
ut is time, therefore, that the gov
eminent of the United States should
frankly state the policy which in
these extraordinary circumstances it
becomes its duty to adopt. 1t must
presently do what it has not hitherto
done or felt at liberty to dO-lend its
active moral support to some man or
group of men, if such may be found,
who can rally the suffering people OF
Mexico to their support in an effort
to ignore, if they cannot unite, the
warning factions of the country, re-
turn to the constitution of the peo-
pie so long in allegiance, and set up
a government at Mexico City which
the great powers of the world can
recognize and deal with, govern
ment with whom the program of the
revolution will be a business and not
merely a platform.
Calls Upon People to Act.
81, therefore, public and very sol
EMMY call upon the leaders of fac
tions in Mexico to act, to act together
and to act promptly for the relief and
redemption of their PROSTATE coui7-
try. I feel it my duty to tell them
that if they cannot accommodate
their differences and unite for this
great purpose within a very short
time this government will be con-
strained to decide what means should
employed by the United States in
order to help Mexico save herself and
serve her people,"
