CARRANZA WILL FIGHT,
IS WASHINGTON FEAR

| continued from rage One
plussed over advces they received say
| ing that General Carranza had ousted the
| Mayor of Vera Cruz for permitting anti
American demonstrations. They said Car
rama had never admitted antl-Amercan
demonstrations were held there.
Great Britain and the other Powers of
| Europe which have large property inter-
ests in Mexico have been sounded on the
peace plan proposed by the United States
and the Latin-American republics and
| have indicated that they will recognize
l.any Government that may be set up south
of the border as a result
Europe will insist only that the new
Government shall recognize such claims
for damages incident to the five years
revolution as may be submitted in due
season through an international court.
The weight of the big European Gov
efnments. as well as that of Latin Amer
lea, has thus been thrown behind the
United States in its present endeaVor to
restore peace in Mexico.
The Pan-American note to the Mexi-
can leaders, adJuring them to enter into
peace convention with a view to the
establishment of a constitutional govern
nent, went last night to Carranza villa,
zapata and other Mexicans concerned.
Within 80 days at the most II will be
known whether Mexican sovereignty is
to be righted by Mexico herself or
whether the United States is to be con-
fronted with the alternative of resorting
again to "watchful waiting" or adopting
extreme measures.
The note dispatched to the Mexican
leaders is brief. 1t urges Carranza, Villa
and other leaders to compose their differ
enees and proceed to the establishment
OF a constitutional government. There
Is no suggestion of intervention in the
communication.
1t conveys the impression that the
United States and Latin America have
proceeded on the premise that the mill
ions in Mexico who have suffered in the
revolution have wearied of the strife and
that they will be glad to accept the
moral support proffered by all America
in any endeavor by Mexicans to restore
order.
Secretary Lansing said the appeal
probably viii be made public early next
week, Delay in getting 1t to the great
number of persons involved prevents
earlier publication,
General Funston reported border
clashes becoming fewer today. He said

AFRAID OF INTERVENTION
There Is no longer any doubt that Latin
America VIII stand by the United States
In lis dealings with Mexico Just SO long
as paeincation is sought without the use
OF arms. II at any time II becomes an
