Situation.

WASHINGTON. August IL. The
Carranza note given out here today
was deemed not on:y Objectionable.
but it was tacitly admitted that such
an answer as IL demsnGed would ai-
most certainly precipitate just such
a situation south of the border rs
would render American Intervention
Inevitable.
The Latin American republics re-
fused TO endorse American intervea-
tion. They stood out against Il
through all the confe. S.iees with Sec
retary Lansing. Argentine went so
far as TO promptly reply to Carranza's
note, saying that the South Ameri-
can republic discl2jmcd any inten-
tion OF Intervention in Mexican af-
fairs or identifying itself in any
proceedings having that end in view
No doubt existed that The other Ger
trail and South American delegates
held to the same view.
The United States must not only
act alone if il interyenes. but must
also act against the group of coun-
tries called into consultation over
the Mexican situation. The Carranza
agency here made public further
kilograms from eleven military lead
ers under the first chief. declaring
tha; they will have nothing 70 do
with any peace conferences disap-
proved OF by Carranza and pledg
ing loyalty to resist any forced CON-
promise of principle by agreement
with the reactionaries
The Carranza note tone was not
alone defiant, but veeevd on the in
sulting. Many officials believed that
he actually sought to compel hostile
action by the United States as
means of consolidating the Mexican
factions on his side and swinging
the sympathy to the Latin American
nations. His only hint at conces-
sions was his agency's suggestion
that he might agree to peace con-
ference if accorded proportionate
representation as compared with the
|Villistas and Zapatistas.
The border situation is reported
TO be more alarming than condi-
tions in Vera Cruz or Mexico City
The war department had tele-
gram from General Funston at Fort
Sam Houston which was the first
confirmation OF reports that the ma
rauders are calling themselves the
army of liberty in Texas and Mex
leo These are operating in the
Brownsville region. This army
was said TO be working for a re-
acquisition of portions of Texas in
Guiding the Brownsville district
and uncontirmed reports said wida

years old along the border While

using army flags in carrying on

reads: "Mexicans, today NC win

With the New Hampshire and

ued to withhold their destination
Although their destination was not
admitted il VAS stated that condi-
tions might arise at Vera Cruz
which would require their presence.
