CARRANZA GETS
A FAIR WARNING
Nations Send a Demand That
Mexican Condition Must
BE TOlerable.
GREAT CHANGE OF ATTITUDE
This Government is Rapidly Los
ing Patience With the Acts of
Obregon-WeIfare Must Not
Be Disregarded.

WASH NGTON. March S.-New and
urgent representations, amounting
practically to warning, have been
sent by the United States to General
Carranza demanding an Improvement
of conditions in Mexico City
Diplomatists familiar with the con-
tents of the note which American
Consul Stillman has been instructed
to present to Carranza interpret it as
an entire change Of policy on the part
of the Washington government toward
the Mexican situation
The communication to Carranza de-
clared after conferences between
President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and
Counsellor Lansing. was guarded with
secrecy pending some word from Car
rama as to his attitude.
It was said by some officials that
the note contained the strongest rep
resentatiOns ever made to CarranZa,
and indicates that the American gov
ernment is rapidly losing patience
with his indifference to the objection
able acts of General Obregon at Mexi-
co City.
Early in the day Secretary Dan
els had said no additions were con
templated to the fleet in Mexican wa
ters but later it was learned that the
cruiser Thomas had been ordered from
Port au Prince, Haiti, to Vera Cruz.
Secretary Daniels was in consultation
later with Secretary bryan concerning
the situation. Further movements
ol vessels may be decided on.
III diplomatic quarters there were
more manifestations of concern over
the Mexican situation than at any
time since the American forces were
landed at Vera Cruz. The foreign
diplomatists conferred among them
selves and communicated to one an
other the latest developments as they
heard them Some of the diplomatists
declared themselves safilied that the
course of the American government
would produce results. One of the
ministers who had received word that
the diplomatic corps would leave Mex
leo city, cabled HIS legation there
saying that after learning what Sc
rions steps the American government
had taken he advised the corps to
remain in the capital and await de-
velopments.
Just what move now IS contem-
plated is known only to President Will
son and a few of his closest advisers,
but it was apparent from the attitude
Of officials that ii was realized a new
crisis was at hand which must be
met with strong measures.
The general impression in official
quarters was that even though the
use Of force had not ben threatened,
the American government was prepar-
ed to eventualities and would here
after pursue an in3istent course to
compel protection for foreigners and
their interests.
Secretary Bryan would say only
that conditions at Mexico City had
not changed from their serious status
OF the last few days He said no
word he'd come directly from Car
rama in the last two or three days
When asked whether Carranza and
Obregon were at odds and whether
the former could control his Mexico
City commander, Secretary Bryan re-
piled that the state department had
evidence that Obregon recognized Car
rama as his superior officer. but could
not say definitely whether any fric-
ton had developed
Secretary Bryan stated that the
pl3&ing of an embargo on all ship
ny its OF ammunition OF war to Mex
|id had not been considered in tho
II 88ent situation. Such a move would
be OF little practical effect. II is said
by officials because most of the arms
and ammunition available in the
United States has been contracted for
at high prices by the European bell
ligerents.
