Washington.7With the e.pt of a
pacific and concilliatory note from
oarranza, admin.stration officials ex.
fessed confidence thai war between
he United States and Mexico is now
remote possibility.
The informal mediation by the Lat.
n-Anerican diplomats appears to be
caring fruit. President Wilson, in
ccordance with assurances given the
yoys, is retiring Gen. Pershing's
.pedition toward the border. Gen.
trranza. in accordance with his
promise to the Pan-American Repub-
cs, has returned pacific answer to
he Presidents ultimatum. Ambassa-
or Naon of Argentina and his Latin
merican colleagues are confident
resident Wilson and Gen. Carranza.
9th having made concessions. will
ind a ground on which complete
agreement may be based Ambassa-
dor Naon now intends to present TO
Doth the President and Gen. Carranza
his plan for the Joint policing by
american and Mexican troops of a
border zone in Mexico.
The note arrived by telegraph early
N the day and only the fact that the
'ourth of July was being celebrated
W all government departments pre-
vented its imme diate delivery. A
verbal synopsis of the communication
lace public by embassy attaches.
with the approval of Mr.. Arredondo
dicates that 1t is of an unexpected
eonciliatory character. The ambas-
dor himself spent the day in the
country and on his return excused
himself from any discussion of his
ernment's attitude as now off
cially stated
Without doubt. the effect of the
embassy statement as to the notes
character has been to relax still fur
ther the diplomatic tension between
the two governments.
The release of the Carrizal prison
ers already had stripped the situation
of its Immediately dangerous charac-
ter. but it is possible that American
officials will not fully share the opti-
listic views of the Mexican embassy,
when they reviow the language of the
Carranza note.
One fact stood out clearly Tuesday
in the minds of officials familiar with
President Wilson's desires and pur-
poses. If Gen. Carranza sincerely de-
sres to find way for peaceful set
t!ement of the difficulties between the
two governments, he will be met more
than half way. The diplomatic dis
cussion foreshadowed in that event,
however. would have to be wholly
aside from the steps the Washington
government deems 1t necessary to
take to protetct American lives and
property along the border. No pro-
posal for immediate withdrawal of
Gen. Pershing's troops would be en-
tertained as a preliminary to a
further exchange of views on joint op-
erations against bandits.
