what L. $. Demanded.
The United States in its recent note to
Gen. Carranza demanded the immediate
release Of the prisoners. together with
the property Of the United States, and
also called upon Carranza to inform this
government as TO the course of action
which the Mexican government had de-
termined upon for the future.
The belief here is that Carranza would
not have yielded on the first Of these
demands unless he Intended to adopt a
conciliatory course toward the second.
There is no doubt that President Will

peaceful understanding with Carranza,
and that he will go more than half way
in trying to clear up the present situa-
ton without a recourse to- arms. There
is no doubt. though, that Carranza will

upon the American troops. and that the

Still further back is an American
column guarding food supplies which
could be rushed to the front without de-
lay.

there will be a general movement across
