Goes to New York and Inter-

of Settling Finances of
Mexico. t
By JOHN e. NEViN

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Carranza
must play fair" with the United
States or his military commanders
and not himself will be factors in all
further negotiations to restore peace
in Mexico. That was said today to be
the unalterable position OF the United
States.
The action Of the first chief in ex-
pelling from Mexico the Guatemala
minister, DR.. Juan Ortega, at a time
when the Guatemalan minister to
Washington was endeavoring to help
arrange a general plan for Mexican
peace Is accepted here as direct def
ance of the Latin-American diplomats.
It's effect Is certain to be reflected
in the next conference to be held in
New York. Carranza has already
been warned that this action may
cause trouble. eaa
Lansing 10 Peeved.
Secretary OF State Lansing IL under
? stood tn have told Secretary McAdoo
In New York yesterday that Carranza
was playing with the United States.
In this connection. it is understood.
that Lansing is angered over the ef-
fort on the part of Carranzistas to
make it appear that a real offer to con-
fer with his enemies was contained in
the brief filed at the state department
by the Carranzista paid attorney. c.
A. Douglas, last Friday night. Lansing
~r1,y hriaf
thorize copies being sent to the Latin
Americans, but he is understood to
have characterized the summary pre-
pared for him as an evident attempt
to cloud the real issue.
Instead of containing real offer to
get together the reference to a con-
day than ever, was simply an attempt
to have Villa and Zapata sue for peace
Object Of Visit.
J Although Mr.. Lansing denied that
his trip to New York was Ito settle"
the question of Mexican finances. it Is
obvious that this object was the one
to which most lime was devoted in the
conference with Secretary McAdoo.
Inasmuch as no decision was reach
ed, the secretary was warranted in
saving that the matter was not set
tied McAdoo is understood to have
carefully explained that while Ameri-
can bankers have plenty of money,
they will not float any new Mexican
bond issues that are not endorsed, at
least privately. by the United States.
Not only must money be raised to wipe
out interest on defaulted national bond
issues, but indemnity claims must be
met, and they total more than $780,
100000, of which probably at least one
half are legitimate.
Secretary Lansing announced the
conference with the Latin-Americans
will be resumed in New York Wednes-
day. Meanwhile. Senior CORDOBA, the
Brazilian minister at Mexico City, who
has been handling the affairs Of the
United States in the absence Of the
American Ambassador, will be rushed
10 Washington.

THE PRESIDENT WIDOWED
 ON AUGUST SIXTH, 1914

There has been much discussion as to when Ellen Louise Axsen Wilson, the late wife of the president of the United States, died. Many people have stated that Mrs. Wilson has been less than a year. The fact that the president announced his engagement to Mrs. Norman Galt, of Washington, D. C., has been commented on in a manner that leaves the impression that the president failed to show the proper respect for his late wife by an- nouncing his engagement within a year after her death.
 Mrs. Wilson died on August 6, 1914 President Wilson announced his en- gagement to Mrs. Gait on October r. 1915, over fourteen months after the death of his wife, the mother of his children.
