WAR WILL BE LAST RESORT
President Wilson Declares That He
Will Not countenance War With
Mexico Unless Necessary.

New York.-President Wilson made
it plain in his speech at the New York
Press Club banquet that he will not
countenance a war with Mexico until
there is no other alternative for set
thing the border troubles.
He declared again that he was ready
to sacrifice his own political fortunes
in order to carry out his convictions
as to what would be the just course
to pursue in the situation.
The presidents audience, composed
of newspaper men, state and municipal
political leaders and others prominent
in public life, signified their indorse-
ment of his position by repeated out
bursts of applause. When he asked II
the glory of America would be en-
HANGED by war of conquest in Mexico,
shouts of mo" came from all parts OF
the banquet hall. A similar response
was made to his query whether it is
Americas duty to carry self-defense to
the point of dictation into the affairs
of another people.
81 have constantly to remind my
SELF" he said, that am not the SER
want of those who wish to-. enhance
the value of their Mexican invest
ments, but that am the servant OF
the rank and file of the United States. "

WILSON IN FIGHTING MOOD
Executive Declares People OF ThiL Ma.

Philadelphia President Wilson, de-

Independence Square his conception
of some of the cardinal American
ideals. He declared that America, in
dealing with other nations must win
dictate at whatever cost" it's principles
Of liberty, justice and humanity; that

to action exalting above all selfish IN
terests, and that the nations policy
and development must be guided by
the whole people and not by any small
group.
Applause repeatedly interrupted the
address. The crowd liked particularly
the presidents declaration that Ameri
can principles must be indicated in
dealing with other nations, which ap-
parently was interpreted as referring
to the Mexican situation. However,
Mr.. Wilson did not mention Mexico or
any other foreign nation directly.
81 believe" the president said, that
America, the country we put first in
our thoughts, should be ready in every
point of policy and Of action to vindi-
date at whatever cost the principles

MEXICO FACES FAMINE.
Pinch of Hunger Already Felt In Ger
tain Sections.

Eagle Pass.-Curtailment of traffic
between the United States and Mexico,
due to the present situation, already
is causing a pinch of hunger through
out the southern republic, according
10 late arrivals from Mexico.
According to men in close touch
with Mexican affairs, Gen. Carranza
would be unable to feed his troops
longer than three months should the
United States blockade the ports and
stop food shipments across the bor-
der. In six months, these men say,
the entire country would be in state
OF famine.
According to estimates said to be
conservative, the three main Mexican
commanders have upwards OF 120,0OO
men under arms. Gen. Pablo Gonzales
is said to have 10000 men, Gen. Obre-
gon $4,000 and Gen. Jacinto Trevino
10000. These estimates, however,
probably include certain proportion
OF camp followers.

INSULTING NOTE RECEIVED
Mexico Denies American Troops the
Right to invade Its Territory and
Questions Our Motives.

Mexico City-Formal notice has
been served upon the United States
government by the de facto govern
ment of Mexico that the presence OF
American troops would not be tol.
Grated any longer upon the soil OF
Mexico, which is taken as an answer
to the recent note of President Wilson.
The Mexican government charges
the United States with sending a
naughty and discourteous communities
ton and the attention of the United
States authorities is called to the fact
that Mexicans have been murdered up
on the border, where no attempt was
made to punish the perpetrators.
The Mexican foreign offices lays
the blame for the killing of Is Ameri-
cans at Santa Ysabel upon the VIC
Tins for attempting a journey across
territory that was known to be dan
gerous.
It is declared that the pursuit of the
bandits under the leadership Of Fran
cisco Villa was taken at once after
they began their depredations and that
the duty of stamping out these out
laws rests with Mexico and not with
the United States.
In substance, the Mexican govern
ment denies the right Of American
troops to occupy Mexican territory
and declares that the presence OF
United States troops in this country
is a violation of the national rights.
