AGAINST ALARMISTS
Wilson Urges Press Associations
Not to Send Out News Having
Color Of War.
ISSUES STATEMENT TO PEOPLE


WARRINGTON. March 2o.-Presi-
dent Wilson tonight issued warnings
that sinister and unscrupulous in
fluences' gre spreading alarmist re-
ports about the Mexican situation
with the object OF forcing interven-
tion by the United States in the
interest Of certain American owners
Of Mexican properties"
In q formal statement the presi-
dent told the people OF the United
States to be on their guard and not
to credit such stories. He urged
those who disseminate news to test
the source and authenticity Of every
report from the border. and called
attention again to the governments
announcement that the sole object
OF the punitive expedition now in
Mexico was to punish villa and his
followers.
News Agencies Asked 90 Ala.
The news services supplying news
papers had been asked. the president
said, to assist In keeping this view
constantly before the Mexican and
American people, to the end that the
expedition should not be given the
color OF war.
The purpose, Of the American com
manders was described as embracing CO
operation '1n every possible way with
the forces of General Carranza ana with
draWal from Mexican territory a. soon
as the object Of the expedition Is aceom'
piished The president solemnly warned
the people 'that there are persons al
along the border who are actively en-
gagged IN originating and given az wide
currency az they can 70 rumors OF the
most sensational and disturbing sort
which are wholly unjustified by the
facts"
Consider Many Reports.
The warning was issued after careful
consideration by the president ana his
advisers OF many official reports troH
throughout the United States and Mexico
including consular dispatches saying thai
alarmist stories OF the intentions OF the
washington government were having az
undesirable effect upon the Mexican peo-
pie and American residents in the south
ern republic.
The possibility that General carransa''
hand might be weakened to a pertiou'
extent should the Mexican public misun'
derstand the American expedition ha'
been a prevailing factor In the entir'
operations against villa. The question
OF alarmist reports was considered b,
the cabinet yesterday and the presiden
conferred at length with secretary Ian
sing before he issued his warning to
