Conditions in Mexico are becoming
worse while Acting Secretary of State
Frank L. Polk and Ambassador-designa
Eliseo Arredondo are conducting discus
sions preliminary to enecting a mndus
vivendi for settling the dispute between
the two governments
The various governors of states in
Mexico are acting independently OF the
Central government and are thus COM
plicating the difficulties With the United
States. They are seizinS property, con-
fiscating estates, imposing impossible
conditions on foreigners in their respec-
tives states and issuing DEGREES with
authority from the Carranza govern
ment.
This government has heard from Latin
American sources that Villa not only is
alive but that he is raising a consider
able force of troops and that he may
capture Chihuahua City.
A fresh battle between Villistas and
Carranzistas is expected daily and Of
ficials here have reason to believe that
Villa will not be defeated
An Official discussing the situation in
Mexico said today: We are progressing
in the negotiations with Gen. Carranza
with the utmost caution. The United
States will not bind Itself so that 1t will
not be able to act in the event of fresh
anarchy along the border.
villa probably will head soon for the
American border and commit an act of
such proportions that the American
army will be given orders anew TO get
Villa and next time our troops will not
come out until Villa is tal;er dead or
alive.
THE negotiations now in progress are
Carranza's last chance to avert war with
