Washington, April 27.-The fact
that General Carranza has furnished
special train TO carry Duval West,
the presidents agent. from Mexico
city to Vera Cruz started story here
today that Mr.. West was going to con-
fer with Carranza about recognition
by the United States of carranza =
government This suppositlon is
based on the ill success of villa In
the recent fighting. The report pro-
badly is premature.
The state department denied today
that Mr. West had any such mission
on hand but believed that he was
merely taking measures to get AM
orleans who wished to depart out Of
the country The Carranza agents
here do not deny their hope that soon
Carranza will be in a position TO open
negotiations for recognition. They
do not expect that anything, formal
viii be done until villa Is settled with.
They have high hopes that this event
Is about to take place
Bryan and Wilson Divide job.
The early In the week suggestion
that Secretary Bryan had been prac-
tically deposed from the headship Of
the state department because the
president wrote the answer to the
Won Bernstorff memorandum was far
from correct The fact had signifi-
cance. but not OF the sort credited to
1t. Instead OF meaning depoaition Of
Rryan. Il meant that he and the press
ident have divided up the job. Deny
ing himself to all callers the president
has taken up our European relations
earnestly He has turned Mexico
over TO Mr.. Bryan.
Believe Struggle Nearing Close.
Watchfulness over Mexico has been
redoubled because of the feeling here
that the struggle down there is draw
ing to a close and that one side or
the other will soon get the mastery
That this will be the Carranza faction
Is expected The victories of Ohregon
over Villa have been established The
fact that Villa is no longer the only
soldier of Mexico has been demon
strated. In pitched battle Ohregon
sent him to the right-abouts This
does not mean that Villa Is done for
Immediately He has retreated and
called In his troops, who are besieg-
ing several cities In the north
He is confessedly about to make
his last stand and there is no doubt
that he has good complement OF
men. II Is not men but ammunition
that is 'bothering Villa. He is about
at the end of his resources in this re-
gard He Is not entirely without
money but he finds the markets for
munitions different from what they
were a year ago when he could get
credit from American firms. The
European war has made the differ
ence. Arms and shell makers will not
dicker with villa when they have so
much better cash markets In Europe
II Is not well understood how this
affects the Caranza forces, but the
agents of the first convention here
say that he has husbanded his re-
sources and Is able TO supply his army
while Villa Is not They believe that
this element will decide the fighting
At Celaya Villa lost "A large portion OF
his artillery. Cannon in the best of
condition were found all over the
field. Some of them had hardly been
used There was little or nothing
to shoot from them.
Carranzistas Predict Victory.
" Carranza can keep this super
iority in artillery fire for only a short
time the victory apparently is within
his grasp. This is what his agents In
America predict They are making
moves already toward a !
qualified recognition Of his govern !
ment
Secretary Bryan Is giving his al !
most undivided attention to the ques-
tions involved because it is seen that
he decision may soon be called for |
Mr.. Bryan expects TO be ready TO act |
when the time comes The |
event of the pacification of Mexico Is |
lnXousy looked forward TO by the
administration.
II realizes that watchful waiting |
mas become byword with the Amer |
can people, but hopes that now that
is justification is about TO be seen II |
will produce a revulsion of feeling to-
ward the president.
Many Problems Must BE Solved.
Having kept this country out Of
var and seen new government rise
n Mexico it will still have the delicate
luty Of adjusting its relations to the
rev regime There are many knot
Y problems The Catholic peoples Of
his country are unquestionably shock
ID and distressed by many things that
iave happened In Mexico Mr. Bry-
IN is cognizant of their feeling and
,nows how far it is justified and how
much OF it is due to Misunderstanding
Il what the administration has done
md Is doing to alleviate conditions in
Iexico.
There is also the question Of the
laims Of foreign governments for
to their nationals. One part
f Carranzas coming plea for recog-
ition will be that commissions TO set
le the matters may be appointed.
There is also the large question OF I
money. The United States will most
kely have to find some capital for {
lexico to re-begin business upon af- J
er the war is finished 1t is eonced-
d that American bankers Will not s
snd money IN that country until it |
as a stable government.
The administration will have upon s
