Idea of Americans
On Mexican Ground
Calling to Natives

Ell PASo, Tex. March 12.-First Chief
Carranza's attitude toward the United
States as a result Of Villas brigandage is
unknown to General Gavira, the COM
mandant at Juarez. General Gavira
stated to the Associated Press tonight
that he had not received a word from
the Mexican government relative to the
crisis, but added that General Luis
Gutierrez. nominal head of the state of
Chihuahua, would arrive at Juarez on a
special train tomorrow for conference.
In reply to the question as to whether
General Pershing would be a party to
the meeting the general answered no,
that the conference was entirely per-
sonal lie was quick to deny the report
that the Mexican populace took hostile
view OF President Wilson's position.
X II have the greatest faith In MIR. vii.
sons disinterestedness and friendly mo-
tives." he said, 'and / am quite as posi-
tive that General Gutierrez shares my
view. We shall be glad to cooperate
with the United States"
Inquiries among well-informed Mexi-
cans in Juarez showed that the idea OF
American troops on Mexican soil Is not
altogether welcome. One Mexican in an
official position spoke guardedly of the
affair. but expressed his real feelings in
this form;
we are now placing large forces in
the field against Villa, and hope we can
dispose of him before the North Ameri-
can troops cross the border. II would
be much better from the Mexicans' view
point to let us finish him ourselves. Then
there would be no possibility of any
clashes or Observation-Disclosures"
