None Will Make Prediction,

government and that immediate with

airy forces from Mexico will not be an
acceptable basis for whatever plan of
cooperative action along the border is
worked out
Washington officials take the position
that only the preliminary step has been
taken by Cen Carranza toward the
friendly adjustment he now appears 10
desire. Demonstration of his ability
to carry out the promises expressed
and implied in his note is still lack
ing. President Wilson, it is pointed
out. has been ready to withdraw Amer
ican troops from Mexico at any time
the de facto government would ex-
press the intention and show the ability
20 furnish adequate military protec-
ton for the border.
To some extent this demonstration is
now being made by the operations of
Mexican troops in the 30O-mile stretch
OF chihuahua state. formerly policed by
American forces. The Carranza forces
have moved into the territory as Cen
Pershing drew his lines northward and
