UNITED STATES
CANNOT PERMIT
4 CONTINUATION
PRESIDENTS WARNING WENT
FORWARD YESTERDAY TO
AMERICAN AGENTS WHO
WILL DELIVER iT.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-President
| Wilson's warning to Mexico that the
United States cannot permit present
conditions to continue went forward
| by telegraph today to American ag-
ents who will deliver it to the faction
al leaders, and was at the same time
made public at the White House.
The statement whio-. goes TO Car
ranza, Villa, Zapata and Cara, the
principal leaders. not as diplomatic
note from the United States, but as
a declaration of President Wilson'S
attitude expressed IN statement to
| the American people, is as follows;
For more than two years revolu-
| tionary conditions have existed in
Mexico. The purpose of the reVolu-
ton was to rid Mexico of men who
ignored the constitution of tl.c re-
public and used their power in CON
tempt Of the right of its people; and
with these purposes the United States
distinctly and generously sympathized
But the leaders of the revolution, in
| the very hour OF their success, have
disagreed and turned their arms
against one another.
"All protesting the same objects,
they are nevertheless unable and un-
willing TO cooperate. A central au-
! thOrity at Mexico is no sooner set up
| than it is undermined and its author
| ity denied by those who are expected
to support it.
Mexico is apparently no nearer a
soiution Of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was first
kindled And she has been swept by
| evil war as if 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 proper
protection either for her own citizens
or for the citizens of other nations
resident and at work within her terri
| tory. Mexico is starving without a
government.
| in these circumstances the people
| and government Of the United States
cannot stand indifferently by and do
/ nothing to serve their neighbor. They
want nothing for themselves in Mex
| leo. But neither do they wish to see
| utter ruin come upon her and they
deem it their duty as friends and

rights of the people. Patriotic Mexi-
cans are sick at heart and cry out for
