MEXICAN wAR-cLoUD PASSING,
LIGHT OF THE PRESIDENTS
STAR OF HOPE SHINING NOW;
WHOLE WORLD REJoIcEs

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Adminis-
tration officials close to the President
stated this afternoon that General Car
ranza's softened reply to the recent
ultimatum opens a broad way for a
speedy adjustment OF all difficulties
between Mexico and the United States.
The war-clouds are, indeed, passing.
The failure of General Carranza to
answer specifically the demand for a
definition of his intentions toward the
Pershing expedition will not cause
complications, because the release and
delivery of the prisoners captured at
Carrizal covers the case.
Secretary Tumulty was kept busy
all day receiving kilograms of con-
gratulations, addressed to the Presi-
dent, on his peaceful triumph in a
crisis which would have plunged any
other Nation into war.
President Wilson had no comment
TO make today. but II was evident to
his callers this morning-senators
representatives and diplomats-that
he had been relieved of a great strain
The lines Of grim care which lately
scanned his face and aged him percep-
ubly were lessened today as he greet
ed his visitors.
Throughout official Washington and
at every embassy and legation, the
Presidents superb diplomacy and its
ultimate success are the subjects of
enComiums and the common topic of
