ENGLAND ACTS IN MEXICO


Washington, June 4:-With the
moving of food for the starving into
Mexico within the next few days 1t
is expected the danger point in
President Wilson's new policy will
be reached In the past the leaders
have Communicated from such sup
plies what they wanted for them
selves. If they interfere with the
food shipments they will precipitate
American action. Consular officials
along the border are cooperating
with the Red Cross in the movement
of foods.
Thus far no word has been re-
ceived directly from Villa, Zapata or
Carranza as to what they are going
to do to carry out the Presidents
mandate. There is a growing belief
that they will not get together. 1t
was learned today that what Duval
West, the Presidents latest repre-
sentative to visit Mexico, was COM
missioned to do was to get person
al expression from each chieftain
concerning what he was fighting for.
All agreed on the same basic facts.
"They all told me- Vests report
says. "that they were fighting to re-
store constitutional government to
Mexico and to put into effect the
ideas which Francisco Madero Great
ed-equal justice to all and distri-
button of the enormous private land
holdings among the people them
selves"
West said that when he asked
the leaders why they were fighting
among themselves, he developed the
fact that private jealousy was re-
sponsible.
President Wilson's Mexican note
has been delivered to General Car
rama and to Constitutional Provi-
slonal President Cara, Consul Silli-
man at Vera Cruz notified the state
department today. He did not say
how the note was received The note
was sent to General Villa, but owing
to interrupted communication, it is
not known whether it had been de-
livered.
Anticipating trouble as result.
of President Wilson's watchful wait
ing in Mexico. British authorities In
Mexico City are adopting extraordi-
nary methods to get English subjects
out of the capital to the seacoast.
OUdUlG To get duGuudI6 TdETOdQ Ia
cilities the British legation, accord
ing to reports received at the state
department, are sending English
men, women and children out of the
city on horseback and automobiles
Under supervision of the legation at
taches these refugee caravans are
making for Bachuca on the line of
the Mexican National railway
where 1t is expected train service
may be had to Vera Cruz
From the Mexican seaport ii is
expected that the British citizens,
will be brought to the United States
The Brazilian minister at Mexico
City, acting for the state department
is doing everything possible to ar
range trains to carry Americans and
other foreigners from the capital to
the first break in the railroad lines
to Vera Cruz. Altogether there are
about $4,000 foreigners in Mexico
City, of whom $500 are Americans,
1900 Spanish and the rest British,
German and Chinese
1t has been feared that as a re-
suit of the threat to take vigorous
action if factional leaders did not get
together for the establishment of
peace anti-foreign demonstrations
would result.
