characterized as intolerable and the
military factional officials will be
called on Immediately to reconcile
their differences and select a repre-

leaving nothing to be guessed at as
to what this government will do If
the factions do not end their revolu-
tionary activity.
1t is also certain that there will
be no recognition Of any OF the pres
ent provisional governments What
the administration desires Is a new

| that will end the present state OF an

Gus attack Of stomach trouble.
