JOHN LIND BEGS CAHRANZA
TO CUT SHORT HIS TOUR
When John Lind urged the chief cx-
ccutive to cut short his tour and re-
turn to Mexico City. Carranza re-
tortod:
"Why?'
"bccausc." answered Lind. you
| need TO begin at once the task Of re-
or canization of the government Ry
returning TO Mexico City. you will do
much to increase foreign confidence in
your government.
Then CarrnnzH explained patiently
10 Lind that he believed II to be his
duty to rc-establish confidence first in
his own country, and that nothing had
done more to make for confidence than
the success Of his tour. Therefore,
Don NEWSSTAND pointed out. he pro-
posed to extend his tour through tho
greater part Of the country solidify-
ing the Constitutionalist organization
so thoroughly that by the time he
should be ready TO rc-enter the city of
Mexico 1t would be Il soundly estab-
l!shcd and going civil government
And to other friendly emissarics
from the outside world. as well rs to
Lind. Carranza has made 1t clear dur
ing his visit to PicdraS NcEras that for
the present he prefers to hear the
cheerful roars OF "vivns" on the sta
tion platforms than the honeyed fell
citations and representations OF bow
ing and smirking diplomats In the
National Palace.
So while the government of Mexico
peiambulatcs UP through tho border
states OF Nucvo Leon and Tnmaulipas
and then down through Aguascalicntes
Guanajuato. Qucretaro and the other
central states and afterwards over
into Jalisco and Colima. the crystal
iization Of Constitutionalism will have
precedence over tho resumption OF for
NAL diplomatic relations.
RECEIVES MEXICAN
OFFICIALS On TRAIN
II Carranza began to name ambas-
sadors. ministers ana charge d'nffaires
he would be Obliged to receive am
bassadors ministers and charge daft
flares. There is only one part of
Mexico where he could receive them
with the dignity BETTING their rank
That place is the City of Mexico But
he can receive the governors. generals
ana Jcfes Of lesser degree on the steps
of his Pullman car. And there he can
let them know directly and effectively
Just what part he shall expect them
to play In his plans for the political
reconstruction Of his country
AS Carranza goes marching along
he proposes 10 take UP step by step
the rehabilitation of things political in
the various states, first defining def
niteiy % The scope and power OF the
governors of those states, t2) The scope
and power Of tho military forces OF
those states.
And in that order since Carranza
has come to riodras Negras he has
put into effect his plan to substitute
l,r 4,
for military. This substitution has al
ready begun in all the states equipped
with governors. There are seventeen
OF them. In all of them there arc also
many times that number Of generals
The generals must take Il back seat
In the governmental administration Of
their localities.
SO absolute has Carranza's mind
shaped itself on this point that within
tWenty-four hours he has notified
foreign nations that in the future the
claims Of their nations for damages or
must he initiated through the governors
OF the states. In the peaceful days OF |
Mexico this was the procedure
AS preliminary to the restoration
of civil authority three governors in
the personnel Of the Carranza tour

states.
These governors are Luis Caballero |
OF Tamaulipas: Pablo de Ia CARA. Of
Neuvo Leon. and Eduardo Machuca. OF |
HidalSo.
