NOTE TO RIVAL SUGGESTS CON-

BIDS FOR RECOGNITION
GEN. VILLAS REPLY TO PREsi.
DENT WILSON DENIES U. s.
RIGHT TO INTERFERE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Ell Paso, Tex, June 15.-Without
admitting the right of the American
government to intervene in Mexican
affairs, Gen. Francisco Villa Saturday
addressed an invitation to Venustiano
Carranza for constitutionalist leaders
to unite and reorganize the govern
ment of Mexico An early reply is
requested that preliminaries for such
conference may be arranged.
The invitation states that the pro-
posal is being submitted to Emiliano
Zapata, southern leader, and to Rogue
Gonzales Cara in Mexico City.
Villa has replied to President Will
sons recent note calling upon leaders
of factions in Mexico to take steps to
establish stable government. The
Villa note, the first to be made pub
lie, was dated Aguas Calientes, June
10, and was forwarded to Enrique G..
Llorente. Villa representative at
Washington, for presentation to the
State Department.
President Wilson's high spirit of
justice" and the consideration and
respect" in which he is held in the
United States and Mexico, Gen. Villa
said, impels him to send his reply,
which interprets Wilson's note as a
recognition that the American gov
ernment has no right to take part in
the settlement Of the internal affairs
of Mexico.
The Villa note reviews the over
throw of the Victoriano Huerta re-
gime and attributes the subsequent
division among constitutional leaders
to false ideas, for mercenary pur-
poses, diffused by those who sought to
retain power indefinitely without
laws
Villas break with Carranza is at
tributed to Venustiano Carranza, and
the resulting strife is characterized as
civil war such as might occur in any
nation"

making a bid for recognition by the
United States. John r. Silliman, per-
sonal representative of President Will
son in Mexico, telegraphed its text to
the State Department from Vera
Cruz.
Until a new secretary of state is
appointed to succeed Mr.. Bryan 1t is
not thought there will be any devel-
opment of the recently announced
policy of President Wilson to insist
.on a settlement by the Mexicans or
some other means would be en-
ployed.

Robert Lansing will sign the docu-

of the State Department, automatic
ally becomes acting secretary of state.
Secretary Bryan will return to pri-
vate life 1t was learned that he in
tends to continue his political support
of the President.
Rather than sign the document
which, he believed, might possibly
draw the United States into war, Mr.
Bryan submitted his resignation in a
letter declaring that the issue in
volved is of such moment that to re
main a member of the Cabinet would
be as unfair to you as it would be to
the cause which is nearest my heart
namely, the prevention of war"
The President accepted the resigna
| tion in a letter of regret tinged with
deep personal affection. The letters
constituting the official announce
ment of Mr.. Bryan's departure from
| the Cabinet to private life were made
public at the White House.

The Presidents letter to Mr.. Bryan
was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Bryan: l accept your
resignation only because you insist
upon its acceptance; and i regret 1t
with much more deep regret, with a
feeling of personal sorrow. Our two
years of close association have been
very delightful to me. Our judgments
have accorded in practically every
matter of official duty and of public
policy until now; your support of the
work and purposes of the administra-
tion have been generous and loyal be-
yond praise, your devotion to the du-
ties of your great office and your
eagerness to take advantage of every
great opportunity for service 1t Of
fered has been an example to the rest
of US; you have earned our affection
ate admiration and friendship. Even
now we are not separated in the OBJ
ject we seek, but only In the method
by which we seek 1t.
1t is for these reasons my feeling
about your retirement from the secre-
taryship of state goes SO much deeper
than regret. / sincerely deplore 1t.
Our objects are the same and we ought
to pursue them together I yield to
your desire only because I must and
wish to bid you God speed in the part
ing. We shall continue to work for
the same causes even when we do not
work in the same way. With affec-
tionate regard, sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.

Resisnins Cabinet Position and Reply
Made by Wilson.

Washington, June o. Secretary
Bryan's letter Of resignation to Pres
ident Wilson was as follows:
My Dear Mr.. President: 1t is with
sincere regret that have reached the
conclusion that should return to you
the commission of secretary of state.
with which you honored me at the be-
ginning Of your administration.
Obedience to your sense Of duty and
actuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government note in which
cannot join without violating what
deem to be an obligation to my coun-
try and the issue involved is Of such
moment that to remain a member of
the cabinet would be as unfair to you
as it would be to the cause which is
nearest my heart, namely, the preven-
tion of war.
l therefore respectfully tender my
resignation, to take effect when the
note is sent, unless you prefer an
earlier hour. Alike desirous Of reach
ing peaceful solution Of the problems
arising out of the use of submarines
against merchantmen, we find our
selves differing irreconcilably as to
the methods which should be en-
ployed.
1t falls to your lot to speak officially
for the nation; l consider it to be
none the less my duty to endeavor as
a private citizen to promote the end
which you have in view by means
which you do not feel at liberty to
use.
In severing the intimate and pleas
ant relations which have existed, be-
tween US during the past two years,
permit me to acknowledge the pro-
found satisfaction which 1t has given
me to be associated with you in the
important work which has come be-
fore the State Department, and to
thank you for the courtesies extended.
With the heartiest good wishes for
your personal welfare and for the sue
cess of your administration, am. my
dear Mr.. President, very truly yours,
