WILLING TO TREAT
WITH CARRANZA
Over Proposal for Removal of American
Troops from Mexican Territory, But
Meanwhile Villa Pursuit
Will Continue.

Washington, d. c., April l5.-Thc
| United States is prepared to treat with
General Carranza as proposed in his note
of Wednesday for the withdrawal OF
American troops from Mexico. Pending
the outcome Of diplomatic negotiations,
however, the status of the expedition
will remain unchanged and the pursuit
of Villa continue.
This was the situation as officially
stated after President Wilson and his
ca binet had considered yesterday the new
phases of the Mexican problem raised
by General Carranza's communication.
Secretary Lansing said he was prepared
to take up the matter with the de facto
government, but would not indicate when
a reply might be sent Secretary Baker
said no new orders had been sent to
General Funston and that none were un-
der contemplation. Both secretaries
said there had been no change in the
policy OF the administration which
prompted the pursuit Of Villa.
From other SOURCES it was learned
that the success of the Carranza govern
ment in demonstrating its intention and
ability to continue the pursuit and ex-
termination of the bandits should Amer
lean forces be recalled would weigh heav-
lily with President Wilson in reaching
final decision. In that connection, an Off
cial report from the commander of the
American forces attacked at Parral, Mex
leo, last Tuesday by civilians is anxiously
awaited, Gen. Carranza's information
yesterday was that his sol
diers had done everything in their power
to stop the firing at the American troops.
Unofficial versions of the incident, how
ever, have asserted that Carranza sol
1iers We're among the attackers.
Secretary Lansing would not say as to
whether he was prepared to negotiate
with the de facto government with a
view to the possible fixing Of date for
the withdrawal OF American troops. He
Indicated that the time element of any
agreement would be based on what de-
seloped in the pursuit of the bandits. As |
he administration attitude is under
tood here, satisfactory demonstration |
~ the Carranza military forces of their /
lbility to stop once and for all the brig |
Indage in the border states would see the
'bject Of the Americas expedition accom-
,lished.
