WILSON'S NOTE
 ID MEXICO IS
 RECEIVED HERE
PRESIDENT SAYS IT iS TIME FOR UNITED STATES TO
 TAKE A HAND.

President Wilson's warning to the warning factions in Mexico to come to an understanding, as issued on June ?. has reached this office in it's complete form. It Is as follows:
 For more than two years revolu- tionary conditions have existed in Mexico. The purpose of tho revolu- tion was to rid Mexico of men who ignored the constitution of the re- public and used their power in con tempt of the right of its people. and with these purposes the people of the United States instlnctively and generously sympathized. But the leaders of the revolution, in the very hour of their success. have disagreed and turned their arms against one another
 All protesting the same objects, they are. nevertheless. unable. or unwilling to cooperate. A central authority at Mexico City Is no soon- CT set up than 1t is undermined and it's authority denied by those who were expected to support 1t.
 Mexico Is apparently no nearer solution of her tragical troubles than she was when the revolution was first kindled. And she has been swept by civil war as If by fire Her crops are destroyed, her fields lie unseeded, her work cattle are confiscated for the use of the armed factions, her people flee to the mountains to escape being drawn into unavailing bloodshed, and no man seems to see or lead the way to peace and settled order There is no proper protection either for her own citizens, or for the citi- zens of other nations resident and at work within her territory. Mexi- co is starving and without gov ernment.
 "1n these circumstances the peo- pie and the government of the United States cannot stand indlffer ently by and do nothing to serve their neighbor. They want nothing for themselves in Mexico. Least of all do they desire to settle her af fairs for her, or claim any right to do so. But neither do they wish to see utter ruin come 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 ef- fective in bringing about a settle ment which will embody the real objects of the reyolution-constitu- tional government and the rights of the people. Patriotic Mexicans are sick at heart and cry out for peace, and for every self-sacrifice that may be necessary to procure 1t. Their people cry out for food, and will presently hate as much as they fear every man, in their country or out of it, who stands between them and their daily bread.
 Tt Is time, therefore, that the government of the United States should frankly state the policy which in these extraordinary circumstances, 1t becomes it's duty to adopt. It must presently do what 1t has not hitherto done or felt at liberty to do, lend it's 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 ignore. If they cannot unite. the warning factions of the country. return to the constitution of the republic so long in abeyance. and set up a government at Mexico City which the great powers of the world can recognize and deal with-a govern ment with whom the program of the revolution will be business. 6uu AOt luclSly p1uSAoAAh.
 T, therefore, publicly and very solemnly, call upon the leaders of factions in Mexico to act, to act together, and to act promptly for the relief and redemption of their prostrate country. l feel it to be my duty to tell them that. if they cannot accommodate their differ ences and unite for this great pur- pose within a very short time, this government will be constrained to decide what means should be em- ployed by the United States in or der to hep Mexico save herself and serve her people"
 The statement was sent to Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz, the Brazilian minister at Mexico City and Consu- lar Agent Carothers. who will de- liver it to the leaders of factions
