REVOLUTION MUST
END, SAYS WILSON
ALL FACTIONS IN MEXICO CALLED
UPON IN NAME OF u. s. TO
SETTLE DIFFERENCES.
FAILURE TO BRING PEACE
Generals Carranxa, Villa, zapata and
Others Must Unite In Movement,
or Else United States VIII
Decide Course.

" SAs SuhS M u ii
Mexico have been publicly called upon
by President Wilson in the name OF
the United States government to "ac,
commodate their differences" and set
up a government that can be accord.
ed recognition.
Failure to unite In a movement %
bring peace to Mexico within a very
short time, it was announced In a
statement telegraphed to Generals Car.
ANA. Villa, Zapata and others, would
constrain the United States Ito de-
cids what mean should be employed"
In order to save the people of the
southern republic from further de-
y~astation OF internal warfare.
Leaders Disagree.
For more than two years revolu-
~tionary conditions have existed in Mex
leo. The purpose of the revolution
was to rid Mexico of men who ignored
the constitution OF the republic and
used their power In contempt Of the
right OF its people, and with these pur-
poses the people of the United States
instinctively and generously sympa.
thiZed.
But the leaders OF the revolution.
in the very hour of their success, have
disagreed and turned their arms
against one another.
No Solution Near.
"All processing the same objects
they are, nevertheless. unable or un-
willing to cooperate. A central au.
thority at Mexico City Is no sooner set
up than it Is undermined and it's au.
thority denied by those who were ex.
pected to support 1t.
Mexico is apparently no nearer a
solution of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was first
kindled. And she has been swept by
civil war as IL 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 protection either for her own citi
zens or for the citizens of other ma.
tions resident and at work within her
territory. Mexico is starving and
without a government.
Duty Towards Mexico.
I'm these circumstances the people
and government of the United States
cannot stand indifferently by and dc
nothing to serve their neighbor. They
want nothing for themselves in Mex.
leo. Least of all do they desire to set
tie her affairs for her or claim any
right to do so. But neither do they
wish to see utter ruin come upon her
and they deem IL their duty as friends
and neighbors to lend IN aid they
properly can to any instrumentality
which promises to be effective In
bringing about u settlement which VIII
embody the real objects Of the revolu.

sacrifice that may be necessary to
procure 1t. Their people cry out for
food aid will presently hate as much
as they fear every man in their coun.

them and their daily bread.
Policy Of United States.
1T is time. therefore. that the gov.
eminent of the United States should
frankly state the policy which In these
