BRITISH-AMERICAN SITUATION
GRIPS WASHINGTON INTEREST
WASHINGTON. June II


With the immediate strain, so far as ne
gotiations with Germany are concerned,
lifted, the British American situation to-
day loomed up as distinctly interesting.
1t is intimated unoficlally from London
that new British note, replying to the
American protest against the Order in
Council, is being prepared Whether or
not II is because of the seemingly in
creasing certainty of an amicable under
standing with Germany, reports have 1t
that the note will be a fiat denial OF all
the American contentious The British
Foreign Oftice. 1t is reported, plans to
use the existing billion-dollar trade bal
ance as proof of it's contention that
American commerce is not suffering as
result of the war.
President Wilson, It is still understood,
will not take any further action relative
to the Allies interference with American
trade until the German situation is sat
isfactory
The fact that certain very iHauential
British newspapers are now urging that
an embargo be placed by England on all
cotton expectations from the United States
to neutral Europe on the ground that
eventually 1t will find its way to Ger
many for use in the manufacture of mu-
nitions, is causing intense irritation in
the South, and the tone of all Southern
Senators reaching Washington is growing
bitter against England again.

Some military critics say that the OBJ

press the opinion that in consequence of
the recent defeat suffered by the Teutonlc
Allies their attempt at Lemberg has been
abandoned and the army aiming at the

TWO MEXICAN NOTES
MAKE CABINET STUDY
Wilson Considers Villa Peace
Offer and Carranza's Request
for Recognition.

| WASHINGTON June 15.-General VII
las peace offer to Carranza and the FIRST
chiefs" proclamation issued to the Mex
lean people in reply to President Wilson's
warning to restore peace to Mexico were
before the Chief Executive and his Cab
met today.
Villas announcement, conveyed to the
State Department through his agency
here. that he had lnaugurated a move
ment to compromise his differences with
CRrTanZa as suggested by President Will
son, was received with satisfaction here.
The note which pointed out TO- Carranza
that the ends of the revolution were
threatened both from the CientIhcos and
the threat of the United States to de
eide on other methods" II the two leaders
failed to settle their differences, was
viewed as evidence that Villa Is ready to
listen to the advice of President Wilson.
Officials generally were pesslmistic as
to the outcome, however. In support of
their views. they pointed to Carranza's
proclamation CarranZa's statement, II
was pointed out, to a great extent merely
recounted conditions in Mexico and ar
gued that he, as the master of seven
eighths of Mexican territory, should be
recognized as the head of the provisional
government. These officials further de-
clared that nowhere in the Carranza
proclamation is there an intimaton that
the "frst chief" would agree to a com
promise with Villa or any of the other
leaders.
Red Cross officials found encourage
ment in unofficial advices from San An
tonic that villa had promised to assist
in the distribution OF food to the needy
populace. This was believed to mean
that villa would reverse the order OF
General Hernandez at Piedras Negras
denying entry to a carload of foodstufrs
for Moncloya. The State Department is
awaiting an official report from Consul
Block at Piedras Negras before making
any representations in the matter.
