WASHINGTON, June 14.-Omcials Of
The Wilson Administration are con-
WINGED after perusai Of the replies sent
by Carranza and villa to the Presidents
statement. warning them - compose
their differences. that there 10 little hope
Of an adjustment OF Mexico's troubles
from within and that the United States
is likely soon to be called on to act
toward restoring order south Of the
Rio Grande.
Carranza's reply. which was a bid for
! recognition. was made public Saturday
Villas reply was given out here to-day.
Coincident with the receipt Of Villas
reply In Washington came the news
from Eagle Pass. Tex. that a consign-
ment Of food destined by the Red Cross
for the relief of Mexicans In Monclova
mad been held up by Villa authorities
just across the border.
The Red Cross was advised that Gen.
Rosalio Hernandez, a villa commander.
had stopped the shipment and given no.
tlce that II would not be permitted TO
proceed inland. Red Cross officials in
Washington are Of the opinion that this
incident does not reflect a general policy
on the part Of villa to prevent food be-
ing shipped from the United States to
Mexico.
Nevertheless the incident. which has
not been reported officially to the STATE
Department. f~oreshadows the possibility
that the United States may be called on
at any time to 20 into Mexico. The
Government has guaranteed delivery OF
foods to the suffering noncombatants
across the border, and II is known that
II will live up to Its obligations in this
regard.
That villa is hopeful of trapping Car
rama into a peace conference In the be-
lief that he can name the head OF q
provisional government Is made clear In
statements by friends OF villa in Wash
ington.
1t became known here to-day that on
June 10 villa through NJ. Diax LON.

called on Carranza to confer with him
relative to affairs in Mexico In the ligh,
of the situation presented by Presiden,
Wilson's note. Villa pointed out that
unless the factions got together and -
tablished a constitutional government,
Mexican sovereignty might be menaced
by the United States.
He suggested that the ends OF the revo.
luton would he frustrated II the classes
tina supported Huerta we're to be re.
stored to power with the assistance OF
the United States. He suggested tina,
IL this happened another revolution might
be the result. with the certainty that the
American Government would intervene
In his telegram to Carranza he said In
part:
"ln the face Of these imminent dan.
gers and without recognizing the righ'
of the American Government to inter.
vene in our affairs. We think that w
should seek mea that would permit
the reunion and reorganization Of the
Constitutionahst party. wen though II
be indispensable to make sacrifices Of
self-esteem. We believe also that THU
is what the patriotism and the future
welfare Of our country require OF Us.
I'm such sense, we propose to you tina
we take under consideration President
Wilson'S note and that IL you are dis
posed, as We ourselves are. you ad

agree at once upon the form and term'
OF procedure In the reorganization Of thu

OF the army OF the south
So far as can be learned Carran1s

will ollow his own devices without re
gard to the other factions In Mexico.
In his reply to President Wilson VIII
