MEXICAN AFFAIR IS
CAUSE OF 4 STIR
IN WASHINGTON
SEVERAL CONFERENCES WERE
HELD. BUT OFFICIAL REPORTS
WERE EEING AWAITED eY THE
PRESIDENT AND THE SECRE-
TA3Y OF WAR.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-First
reports OF the Mexican raid on Co
dumbus. n. M. were received at the
White House while President Wilson
was having his first conference with
Newton d. Baker. The new secretary
of war. Officials admitted that the
raid put very serious aspect on the
Mexican situation
While The policy Of the administra
ton so far has been to look to the
Carrauza forces 10 deal with the
bandits, some officials declared TO-
day THAT il was grave question
whether such a raid as that ON Co
dumbus was not sufficient evidence of
the inability of the Carran2a govern
ment to deal with the situation TO
warrant sending American troops
over the line.
The raid started a new agitation in
congress, where those who have op-
posed the administration Mexican
policy openly charged that the at
tack was proof Of their repeated
declarations that the Carranza gov
ernment was impotent to deal with
he situation and a fulfillment OF
their predictions that another out
rage like the recent Cusi massacre,
in which sixteen or more Americans
were killed by Villa bandits when
they held up train, was only a
question of time There were indi.
cations early today that the Colum
bus massacre undoubtedly would be
| the signal for another outbreak in
the senate, where the opponents in
the administration Mexican policy
have been most active
One Of the probable courses most
| discussed in official circles was to
send American troops over the line to
clean out the bandits. It was pointed
out that such action could be taken
with declaration that there was nc
| intention to impair the sovereignty OF
Mexico, or purposed Of occupation OF
territory, but was simply to deal
with situation menacing to the
American border over which the
Carranza government evidently had
no conuol.
