dent has abandoned for the present
the plan of passin,, the issue on to

Advices to the state department
from Mexico City say that Pres't
Wilson's speech of last night I'm New
York has had the effect there of
allaying fears that the United States
had decided on war no matter what
attitude the de facto government as
sumed. As a result the sentiment
among Gen. Carranza's advisers is
said to be much more friendly than
IL has been during the last few
weeks.
The always present danger officials
say, is of a clash between the Amer
lean and Mexican forces which
would be precipitated by the strain
under which both sides are laboring.
