even though it means eternal thralldom to mas

and attractive vesture than the average less de

No Aim at Conquest.
The purpose of the United States
government toward Mexico, questioned
in the last Mexican note, are an
nounced in the following language:
IF denial is needed that this gov
eminent has had Interior and improper
motives in its diplomatic representa-
tons, or has countenanced the actiyi-
ties of American sympathizers and the
American press opposed to the de
facto government, am glad most en-
phaticaily to deny it. 1t is, however,
matter of common knowledge that
the Mexican press has been more ac-
tive than the press in the United
States in endeavoring to infiame the
two peoples against each other and
to force the two countries into hOstil-
tiles"
With President Wilson's firm refusal
to withdraw American troops from
Mexico on its way to the de facto gov
eminent, the administration continued
today its preparations to meet any
emergency that may arise. War or
peace rests with General Carranza.
Copies Given Diplomats.
The note was handed to Elisio Ar
redondo, the Mexican ambassador des-
ignate here, for transmission to Mex
leo City. Copies were furnished to all
foreign embassies and legations, and a
summary to Rodgers.
In addition to refusing to withdraw
the troops and warning that execution
of the threat to attack them will be
followed by the gravest consequences,
the note serves notice that so long as
the Carranza forces continue their
present attitude, no arms or ammuni-
ton, or machinery for their manufac-
ture, will be permitted to reach Mexico
from the United States.
Regulating Carranza's insinuation
of bad faith on the part of the United
States, Secretary Lansing says:
The government of the United
States if it had designs upon the ter
ritory of Mexico, would have no diff
Guilty in finding during this period of
revolution and disorder many plaus-
ible arguments for Intervention in
Mexican affairs. Hoping, however,
that the people of Mexico would,
through their own efforts, restore peace
and establish orderly government, the
United. States has awaited with pa
thence The contamination of the revolu-
ton. In spite of increasing discour-
agements, in spite of repeated provo
cations to exercise force in the restora-
ton of order in the northern regions
of Mexico where American interests
have suffered most seriously from law
lesSness, the government of the United
States has refrained from aggressive
action and sought by appeals and
through moderate though explicit de-
mands to impress upon the de factO
government the seriousness of the stu
alton and to arouse it to its duty to
perform its international obligations.
