WILSON
WARNS
MEXICO

WASHINGTON. d. c., May 20.
What probably will mean an
ultimate policy of American inter
vention in Mexico was foreseen
today in the preparation of note
by President Wilson to all the
Mexican chiefs. warning them
that the state of disorder which
has prevailed for two years must
cease.
The presidents note will take
the position that because of the
personal ambitions and almost
ties of the various military chiefs,
the general Mexican population
has been reduced to condition
of starvation. The president
knows Of this situation because as
head of the Red Cross he has sew
eral times headed appeals for aid.
No one faction will be recos-
nized.
But II all the chiefs do not ae-
cede to Wilson's demands, 1t is
certain that an American force
will cross the border to enforce
them.
