Carranza'S Note Which is
Handed to Lansing.
NO COMMENT BY LANSING
Way is Open Now for an Ami
cable Adjustment Of the
Border Dispute.

WASHINGTON, July 3-The
crisis between the United States and
Mexico virtually came to an end to-
day when u friendly and conciltatory
note from the defacto government
was handed to Secretary Lansing
and promptly communicated to Presi-
idcnt Wilson.
Formal statement OF tho attitude
of the Washington government must
await the presidents action but
there ia no doubt in the minds Of of
flclnls that the way has beon opened
for an amicuble adjustment Of the
dispute Of the border situation.
Meets with sympathy.
Secretary Lansing himself would
make no comment. He gave the I'M
preston, however, that General Car
ranza's suggestion that there is no
pending question Of the governments
which cannot be readily answered by
friendly negotiations meets with
quick sympathy here.
Mr.. Lansing is known to share.
Presidents Wilson's desire that hos
tIlltles be avoided II there is any
passIble way to safeguard American
border interests without a clash.
The new Mexican note 30 plainly In
dIcates n similar desire that further
interchange of views is expected to-
begin Immediately looking to joint
effort to curb border bandits and
other irresponsible agencies that
have worked to embroil the two gov
ernments.
High officials were much impressed
by the complete change in tone shown
in General Carranza's new note. It
was described by one as more than
conciliatory." There seemed to be 20
disposition to doubt that the United
states on it's side would be willing
TO arrange for the early withdrawal
Of the expedltlonary force from Mex
leo.
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas-
sador designate, had this comment to
make:
Note Speaks for Itself.
1.-THE note speaks for itself. It Is
thoroughly explanatory and set forth
exactly the situation with the United
states as viewed by the Mexican gov
ernment."
While the communication bears
the signature Of Foreign Minister
Agullar at both the embassy and the
state department 1t was believed that
It was personally dictated by General
Carranza.
American officials hope the COM
plete absence Of discourteous Ian
Ruage and unwarranted charges OF
bad faith such as have characterized
the last two Mexican notes indicates
that much of the suspicion as to the
purposes Of the Washington govern
ment has been removed from the
first chiefs mind.

The next objective of the French in

North Of the river the Anglo

tbe fact that the Germans have
