WASHINGTON, May 29.--The most
radical change in Americas Mexican
policy since Porf1rio Diaz's day, i'm
pended tonight. President Wilson will
issue a statement Tuesday dealing
with the situation. 1t will term exist
ing conditions intolerable and demand
rslief 1t will contain no ultimatum
and no threats, but unless the men
now in control in Mexico bow to Its
will, steps will be taken to force a
change.
On highest authority It Is learned
tonight that in effect the presidents
note will say: .....-..
First-Mexican conditions are intoi-
cradle. ..
Second-For two years the United
States has stood by inactive, hoping
Mexico would work out her own sal
vation. .l
Third-The Mexican factions have
had every possible chance to adjust
their differences and agree on a plan
for representative government
Fourth--In spirit of absolutely
disinterested friendship, America has
waited. although viewing with increas-
ing concern the steadily increase Of
law1essness which threatened Mex
ico's position among nations.
Fifth-,rhe United States has been
embarrassed by the Mexican attitude
in efforts to convince the world that
Mexico is capable of shaping her own
destiny.
Sixth Americans have always
shown a generous desire. which they
are prepared now to emphasize, to aid
Mexico in her time of stress. and by
moral and material assistance cooper
ate with her in relieving her popula-
ton from impending famine.
Seventh-Humanity dictates COM
pei the United States to demand that
the Mexican military element subor-
dinate ambition to the Mexican peo-
ples welfare and bury personal diff
ferences in an effort to unite all fac
tions in restoring order and good gov
ernment.
Eighth-F'ailing in this, the United
States feels it owes a duty to human
ity to take the necessary steps to
bring about restoration.
Though the president believes his
change in policy will bring order and
is hopeful Mexican chieftains will
realize that Americas patience has
ceased to be virtue and will cooper
ate with this government in solving
the situation, other officials are not so

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. I. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK. May 29.-The en-.
trance Of the eleventh belligerent III
to the war this week has been follow
ed by an unusually rapid advance OF
Italian frontier trovps into Austrian
territory, probably five hundred
square miles Of the enemy's terraine
has been seized by the italians. The
retreat of the AustT1ans has been gen.
eral and indicates the chief teutonic
commanders have agreed the war
cannot be carried into Italy at the
start of the campaign. The non-ap-
paarance Of German troops during
the first week of the italian war and
the careful avoidance of battle by the
AustCians Is conclusive evidence that
reports were greatly exaggerated,
which indicated more than half a
million Austro-Germans were mobil-
lied along the Italian frontier.
