WILSON DECLARES MEXICO
is STARVING WITHOUT A \
GOVERNMENT
(By Associated Press.)

washington. June 2.---Tn a state
ment to the American people, Presi-
dent Wilson today served notice on
the factional leaders in the Republic
of Mexico that unless within a very
short time" they unite to set UP a
government which the world can rec
ognize, the United States "will be
constrained to decide what means
should be employed by the United
States in order to help Mexico to
save herself and save her people
The statement signalizes change
from the "watchful waiting policy,
which has guided our relations witt
Mexico for more than two years.
The Presidents statement is re-
garded everywhere in official and
diplomatic quarters as notice of a
new and vigorous policy to restore
peace below the Rio Grande.
The statement goes to Carranza
Villa. zapata and Garza, the principal
Mexican factional leaders, not as a
departmental note as from the Unit
ed States, but as declaration OF
President Wilson's attitude.
Swept by War as if BY Fire."
IN part the message says:
Mexico Is apparently no nearer to
a 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 shops are deserted, her fields
lie unseeded, her cattle have been
confiscated for army factions, her
people flee to the mountains to es-
cape from being drawn into the war
and no man seems to see or lead
the way to peace.
"Mexico today is starring, without
a government.
"In these circumstances the gov
ernment stands indifferently by and
can do nothing to serve their people"
The President calls on the Mexican
leaders to act together promptly for
the relief OF the country.
In Event Factions Do Not Agree.

States will pursue in the event the
