u. S. TROOPS
WILL REMAIN
Cabinet Decides No Change
in Mexican Policy Shall
Be Forthcoming.
POSSIBLE INTERVENTION
CONSIDERED IN PLANS

President Wilson and his Cabinet de-
cided yesterday that there will be no
change in Mexican policy as a result Of
the scott-obregon disagreement.
The American troops will be kept in
Mexico, It was oficiaHy announced. and
efforts will be resumed through diplo-
matte channels, to bring Carranza into
line.
Meanwhile plans for possible interyen-
ton will be continued, as officials realize
that an overt act by the Carranzista
troops may force a change from the pres
ent defensive operations TO a direct Of
fensive campaign. From State and War
Department. sources it was learned to-
day that the government will follow the
following course:
First-Secretary Lansing and Gen.
Scott will confer as soon as the latter
reaches Washington. He is now en-
route home on orders from Secretary
Baker
Flat "NO" for CarranEA.
Second-Carranza'e note insisting that
the troops be withdrawn or a date set
for the withdrawal will be answered with
fiat negative.
Third-In this answer Carranza will be
told that the United States has irrevo-
cably decided to maintain its forces in
Mexico until it has been demonstrated TO
the President that all American Mexican
frontier towns are safe from attack.
Fourth-The United States will hold
that it is not bound by any agreement,
implied or otherwise. not to proceed
south Of the American camp IN pursuit
of Villa and his bands.
Fifth-The United States will welcome
cooperation between the military forces
of the United States and Mexico to make
border raids an impossibility in the fu.
ture.
Until these diplomatic negotiations
progress far enough to show Just what
Carranza intends TO do. the Villa chase
it was announced today. will be tenn
porariIy suspended. Gen. Pershing's
forces will practically confine themselves
to policing the 216-mile stretch between
San Antonio. the present base, and the
American border.

Ignite, except in the remoter districts,

the industries, such as brick making,

with their growth the production of

There were $50 men employed IN the

1915 for an average of 219 days, as

But in all his work MIR. BoIIes never
ran up against such a proposition as
row endangers the future of the sub
marine base. There was no rendering
plant near the naval site in those days
and none would ever have been there
had Mr.. Bolles been given lease of
life. It is the plain understanding
now on the part of the government
that if the nuisance coming from that
rendering plant is not abated the sub
marine base will be transferred else
where. The rendering company is
conducting a legitimate business but
the plant should be located remote
from haibitation. The chamber of
commerce has become interested in
the matter, the president Of the comp
any has said that he did, not want to
he an obstacle to the progress of New
London. and perhaps the matter can
be amicabIy and satisfactorily adjusted
and, in time, perhaps, MIR. BolIes'
prophecy that the great navy yard of
the future would be located on the
banks of the Thames river may be
fulfilled.

Now, after the Iifework of the late
John R. BoIIes, the father of the New
London Navy Yard, the site of the
great navy yard of the future is be
ing partially utilized as a submarine
base, and with appropriation in view
to establish its permanency and
growth, comes the customary obstacle
to the progress Of New London. Still,
people on the outside have always
wondered why New London does not
grow more rapidly and become the
first city in the state. During Mr.
Bellies long fight for the navy yard he
was continually humping into obsta-
cles, but they were in the main fought
out at Washington and with advocates
of other sites for naval purposes. He
succeeded in getting reports favor
able TO New London from several army
and navy boards of investigation, and
While the natural advantages of New
London were recognized, there was al
ways that social side that MI Bellies
was unable to overcome for many
years. He used to say that he was up
against political traitors to the cause
he represented and even limited at real
crooked work on the part of govern
nent officials. Then he had his fights
at home with those who We're against
Mr.. BoIles for fear of losing prestige
in business OF politics if Mr.. BoIles
succeeded where they did not succeed.
In plain words they did not want Mr.
BoIIes to have the credit due him for
the work he was doing for the estab-
lishment of a navy yard at New Lon
don.
