Washington, oct 25.--Conditions
In northern Mexico, revolving on the
new osoendency OF Villa as a military
leader are comanding more atten-
uon than at any other time since the
border raids which resulted in the
OF the American punitive
expedition.
Administration officials made no
effort tonight to disguise their opin-
ion that the American Mexican COM
sitting mt Atlantic city cam
not be expected to arrive at a satis-
factory solution of border problems
nnti the situation in Chihuahua hax
been clarified. Any agreement for
the early withdrawal Of General
Porshngs forces from Mexico appar-
entity Is considered now as out OF tho
question.
WIN Take No Chances.
Moreover, the impression stood out
clearly from all the views expressed
that while the present situation exists
there is little possibility that the
forces Of regulars or national guards
men on the border will be reduced.
II was indicated that no chances
would be taken Of another raid into
American territory
