WILL CONSIDER NEW
POLICY IN MEXICO

Washington. May l1.-President
Wilson and his cabinet tomorrow will
consider a new policy that may lead
to intervention In Mexico.
Notification that the conferences In
FL paso between General Scott ana
agreement brought the administers.
ton face to face with the fact that
a new policy must be adopted.
The rock on which the confereea
split was the demand of Carranza for
withdrawal OF American troops and
the refusal OF General Scott. under
orders from Washington. to accede to
this demand
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing were not repared tonight u I
make official announcement of their
next step The, were not willing -
admit that the last Diplomatic RENE.
dies had been applied. There wae
reason to, believe tonight that they
will wait to see the result of nnAi
diplomatic representations with Car.
raIiza before taking further action.
The gravity OF the situation waSs
fully realized however 1t was ad.
mitted that aggressive action by Gems
eral Ohre.on's army might force In.
.ervention before diplomatic inca urea
have been exhausted.
May Have One More Chance.
1t was considered extremely likely
tonight that the cabinet tomorrow Will
decide to give CarranZa one mere
chance to cooperate with the l!-fte6
S.2tes in supprcssing outlawry along
the border II this course Is adopted,
there NAV be an exchange of notes
before further steps are taken stnn4
lines that may lead to Intervention.
1t is known that the President hao
cached the conclusion that It inter.
ventiou Is the only means left Of set-
Ting the Mexican question. he will
apply that remedy.
Intervention has been regarded for
some time by few of the Presldent'e
GA binet advisers as practically tnevi.s
ia bic. The President at the outsee
resisted this extreme step. bus there
has been direct evidence IN the last
few DAYS that he has come to the
conclusion that there Is no other
course open unless Carranza adopts
more tractable attitude.
Until the course OF the United States
is fully decided, officials said tonight,
no further steps will be taken to ins
crease the American army In Mexico.
If the situation is found to call for
intervention, however. the President
will 30 before Congress and place tha
matter before that body. Orders fors
the militia and probably for 10000
volunteers 10 give the United Stat4e:
an army OF 100000, probably would
be the next step.
