CABRERA VOICES REPLY
Alludes to United States as the
Leader for Free Government
and the Tutor from Whom the
Stricken Republic Must Gain
knowledge.

Now London. Conn. Sept. l2.-Pr6si-
dent Wilson lent his personal touch to-
day to aid the efforts of the American
Mexican joint commission In seeking
n permanent foundation of sympathy
and understanding upon which may
rest the future relations of the United
States and Mexico.
Putting aside for one hour his own
cares and his vigil at the bedside of
his sister, who is dying here. Mr. Will
son exchanged calls with General Car
ranza's representatives. 1t was the
first time during his administration
that the executive had dealt personally
with a representative of the MeNican
de facto government and the signit-
canoe of this fact was not lost upon
either the American or Mexican COM
missioncrs.
, For the first time also representa-
ttvcs Of General Carranza received di-
rcctly from the man in whose hands
perhaps lies the fate of their country
his statement Of sympathy with the
aims of the revolution which has torn
| Mexico.
The regeneration of the stricken ma
| tion must come from within. Mr.. Wilson
! said: and in answer for his colleagues
and himself Luis Cabrera, Carranzh's
minister Of finance. and chairman of
| the Mexican delegation, asserted that
his country was struggling toward the
! light Of free and democratic govern
| mcnt.
| The President went directly to the
subject of the Mexican revolution. He
was he said. more familiar than his
hearers perhaps realized with the fun
! damental principles OF the struggle for
! free government in Mexico. He az
sured them of his deep sympathy with
those aims, adding that right thinking
men all over the world must sympa r
thize with such aspirations. From the
brief statement he made. the Mexican
/ commissioners realized that the lrcsi-
dent has kept in personal touch with
all that is taking place beyond the
Mexican border.
During the conversation Mr.. Wilson
indicated his comprehension of tho
great problems. political economic and
social, which Mexico is facing. It was
| in this connection that he said that
! regeneration must come from within
and that development must be parallel
| in all three lines.
Mr.. Cabrera in his reply alluded to
! the United States as leader of the
movement for free government and as
the tutor 10 whom Mexico must look
in striving for tho type of government
its people sought. Much had been
done he said, but much also remained
to be accomplished before the aims of
the revolutions could be achieved.
| Mr.. Wilson laid great stress, it was
learned. on the point as to the present
conference upon which both secretary
Lansing and Secretary Lane centercd
their remarks at the first meeting
the commission in New York. the pro-
lection of American lives and property
in Mexico.
The President said he hoped the
commission would be successful in
finding solution for its problems
which would insure the security of
Americans, not only along the border
but in any part of Mexico.

The span was being raised from
pontoons and was about fifteen feet above
the water when it sank into the river
which is 800 feet deep at this place.
The river was filled with boats and
on the hills along the shore were hum
dreds of people who came by raj and
automobile to see the elimination Of the
mighty engineering project. The biz steel

gap which it was expected to fiji. Shortly
after eight o'clock the pantoons reached
the allotted place and were withdrawn

began to raise the big span the crowds
shouted and believing that they had
seen the most i'm Dressive ceremony Of the

there WAS a roar of breaking steal and
the span dived into the water.
