was not only unSought but we were uniformed in regard to the military operations effected"
 l As evidence of this dlstrust the i note cites the fact that the eXpedi 1 tion included artillery and infantry the use of which "cannot be explained in any other way except as a precau- ] tion against probable attack on the part of Mexican forces Tine United ! States. it is asserted now prefers to keep its troops idle in Mexico rather i than post them on the American side of the line.
 By this action,' the note says, "the American government gives room for the supposition that its true inten- tion is to keep the troops it already has interned in Mexico, and anticipat ing that it may make use of them for future operations.
 "The American government has on one occasion declared its desire to help the constitutional government to | complete the work of qualification within the least time possible. The true attitude of the American govern ment in regard to this desire appears incopSruous with their action.
 AS a matter of fact. without con- sidering tke great number of diplo- nlatic representations made under the pretext of protecting American inter- ests in Mexico and which are con- stantly embarrassing the new gov ernment in it's effort to reorGanize the political, economic and social con- ditions of the country on a new basis there are many facts which cause the influence of the American govern ment to be felt against the consoli- dation of the present government oi Mexico.
 The note cites 'the decided SUD- port given at one time by General Scot. and the state department which it says prolonged the civil var man, months: and the continued assistance } rendered hy Amer ican catholic clergy men to their Mexican brethren wht l are. it is charged, constantly working against the constitutionalist govern ment''

Many o the bands of border outlaws. it adds were armed and perhaps also organ ized under the tolerance of TeNa authorities. while well known conspi rators who were arrested have beel released under insignificant bonds.
 The detention of shipment of arm and ammunition to the Mexican gov ernment also is arraigned as an un friendly act for which no frank reaso has been assigned This embargo, says, "can have no other interpreta ton than the United States Wishe to protect itself against the emergenc of a future conflict
 Tie note does not question the rigf of the United States to do this, bu declares a frank statement of it's req sons would be preferable to the "friv olous pretext of preventing these arm and munitions from falling into th hands of the Villa bandit.
 "The whole embargo matter, it as serts, lis clear indication that tf acts of the American military ar thorities arc in conflict with the pul pose of peace of the American go' ernment"

For the time being the abc' precautionary acts indicate that the is a purpose of preparedness for SUI emergency, or that which is the sam the beginning of hostilities on the pa of tie United States toward Mexico
 The detention in New York of m chinery intended for a governme intuition factory in Mexico then made subject of protest and ate tion is called to the fact that "millio and millions of dollars worth of W munitions.'' are being exported
