j. S. WARNS MEXICO
PRESIDENT TELLS LEADERS
THEY MUST ACT TOGETHER
FOR RELIEF OF COUNTRY.
ASKS FACTIONS TO UNITE
Suggests That the Administration
Will Lend lts Active Moral Sup
p port to Some Man or Group
%" Who Can Rally People.

Washington, June 4.--President VII
son on Wednesday served warning on
the leaders Of the various factions in
Mexico TO act together and to act
promptly for the relief and redemp-
ton Of their PROSTATE country or
the United States will be constrained
to decide what means should be en-
ployed In order to help Mexico save
herself and serve her people"
The presidents statement Is ad-
dressed to the American people.
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 the repub-
lie and used their powers in contempt
Of the rights OF it's people; and with
these purposes the president Of the
United States instinctively and gener-
ously sympathized. But the leaders
of the revolution. in the very hour
Of their success, have disagreed and
turned their arms against one anoth-
er. All protesting the same objects,
they are nevertheless unable or un-
willing to cooperate. A central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner
set up than 1t is undermined and; it,
authority denied by those who were
expected to support it. S5;.-
IN these circumstances the prssi-
dent and government Of the United
States cannot stand indifferently by
and do nothing to serve their neigh
Dor. They want nothing for them
selves in Mexico. Least of all do they
desire to settle her affairs for her. or
claim any right to do so. But neither
do they wish to see utter, ruin como
upon her and they deem it their duty
as friends and neighbors to lend any
aid they properly can to any instru-
mentality which promises to be ehec-
tive in bringing about a settlement
which will embody the real objects OF
the revolution-constitu govern
ment and the rights of the people.
1T is time therefore that the gov
eminent Of the United States should
frankly state the policy which in these
extraordinary circumstances it be-
comes its duty to adopt. 1t must pres
emily do what 1t has not hitherto done,
or felt at liberty to do. lend Its active
moral support to some man or group
Of men. If such may be found, who can
rally the suffering people Of Mexico
to their support in an effort to IT,
more. II they cannot unite, the warning
factions OF the country, return to the

Indianapolis, June 2-Ralph De-
Palma, driving one of the most spec
tacular races ever seen on any Amer
lean automobile track, won the fifth
annual revival of the International
Sweepstakes 500-mile race at Indian
apolis on Monday when he drove his
Mercedes to victory over the classiest
field which ever has been seen In the
race.
In winning the race, DePalma
clipped more than half an hour OF
the old record, going the route in
5:33: $3.50. an average Of 1884 miles
6:03:55.5O, an average of s2.47 miles
an hour, made year ago by Rene
Thomas in Delage.
Close behind DePalma came Dario
Resta, winner of the Vanderbilt and
Grand Prix races this year. Less
than three laps separated these two
Italian rivals and the duel between
them had been in progress all day.
It was DePalma's greater experience
and better racing brain that told the
story. " ~ y@,,. f..
DePalma virtually ran Resta to
death on two occasions, once when he
was striving to regain lost lead and
the other when Resta was trying to do
the same thing. On both occasions
DePalma jockeyed with his Anglicized
compatriot and on both occasions he
made Resta overstep the bounds Of
safety for himself. 50 -,

third and fourth places, Gil Anderson
taking third with stutz, while Earl
Cooper took fourth with another Stutz.
