WASHINGTON, May Although
Without official advance information
Is to the contents of General Car
ranza's new note to the Pnited States,
authorities doubted today there would
be any actual demand for American
troop withdrawal from Mexico.
They thought, however, Carranza
might make urgent suggestions for
such withdrawal as in the past. More
over they felt perhaps he would be
somewhat resentful of the dispatch
Of the second expedition recently into
Mexico,

II he can convince the administra-
don on this point, he can have with
drawal automatically. Up to date,
however. the war department has not
regarded his forces sufficiently strong
to assure the border against raids
Nor has 1t regarded its own work
Of scattering bandits as accomplished
In Carranza does demand immed-
late withdrawal, he probably can be
placated, officials said, in as much as
considerable OF his talk along these
lines has undoubtedly been for home
consumption. Carranza himself is
reported friendly TO the United States
and in these circumstances probably
will not press any demand or sugges'
lions to troublous point.
1t was officially stated today that
Carranza has made no overtures for
financial aid from this country. This
government, is was explained could
not lend him money directly, though
1t could be sponsor for loans in the
extent of giving its moral support.
Consul Rogers informed the state
department today that Carranza's
note is coming forward by messenger
and will not arrive here before next

issue new call for the 116. If they
respond, the case Will be closed. II
