been narrowed to M. Wilson's desire
for formal declaration of intention
toward the American expeditionary
forces in Mexico. The embassy syn
opsis of the new note indicates that a
specific statement still is lacking.
Only a close study Of the reply will
discluose whether it will be necessary
to press General Carranza to offirm
or deny the hostile constructions plac-
ed on his orders to attack the troops.
With doubt, the effect Of the en-
,bassy statement as to the notes char
acter, has been to relax still further
the diplomatic tension between the
two governments. The release of the
Carrizal prisoners already had strip
ped the situation of it's immediate dan
gerous character. 1t is entirely pos
|sible, however, that American officials
will not fully share the optimistic
views of the embassy when they are
liable to review the language of the
mote. -.f'
Desires Peaceful Settlement.
One fact stood out clearly tonight
in the minds Of officials: General Car
rama sincerely desires to find way
for peaceful settlement of the differ
ences between the two governments.
The diplomatic discussions foreshad-
owed in that event, however, would
have to be wholly aside from the
steps the Washington government
deems it necessary to take to protect
american lives and property along
the border. No proposal for immed-
late withdrawal of General Pershing's
troops would be entertained,
The embassy synopsis of the latest
indicates that the de
facto government has sought to bring
its side of the diplomatic correspond
ence up to date. 1t is framed as q
reply, both to the American note re-
fusing to entertain any request for
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico, and to the later stern demand
presented after the Carrizal incident
for release of the prisoners and for
a formal diplomatic statement of in
tentiOn. In both of the documents,
Secretary Lansing sharply reprimand-
ed the de facto government for failure
/ to observe ordinary diplomatic usages.
His first note resented charges Of bad
faith, political intrigue and the like.
openly stated in the Mexican demand
for withdrawal. The second tersely
notified the de facto government that
the United States expected to receive
diplomatic communications through
diplomatic channels, not through SUBJ
ordinate military commanders.
These were the first communica.
lions to. the de facto government in
which anything but friendly language
was employed. The officials believe
the language and tone of the present
Carranza note will have great weight
with President Wilson in deciding on
course. 1t is expected Mr.. Carranza
will be made to make redress for his
previous tone in communications, If
amicable relations are to be contin'
ued.

enormous quantities OF food supplies.
From the Mexican point of view,

Indeed, the citizens of Ell Paso hold
