CAN HAVE RAILWAYS

Fl Paso. Tex, April 21.--It was stated unofficially in Juarez today that General Carranza would in all proba bility place the Mexican railroads at the disposal of General Pershng if the expeditonary force was withdrawn. General Gavira the Juarez commander while declining to make definite statement, expressed his belief that the use of the railroads for the withdrawal of the American troops would not be regarded unfavorably by the the Carranza government,
 The decision on such a step, he said, rests solely with General Carranza and his advisers.
 However, | feel sure our government is willing to do everything in it's power to maintain the friendship between Mexico and the United States, and will take any step compatible with the dignity of the Mexican nation he added.
 ',ro have given the railroads to the American troops entering Mexico would have been step which undoubtedly would have been resented by the Mexi- can people, but to permit them to use the railroads to leave Mexico would be a very different matter Mexico has warm regard for President Wilson and believes he is a true friend of our re- public.'
 Mexican officials here and in Juarez are keenly interested in the coming con ference between General Scott and Gen eral Funston at San Antonio. They are convinced that on this conference hinges the withdrawal of the American forces and make no secret of their anxiety that such a withdrawal should be ordered. The opinion is frankly expressed that every additional day that the American columns remain in Mexico seriously increases the danger of an outbreak on the part of the people which might have the gravest con SeuuenceS,
