Mr. Arredondo said tonight mat
while he had generally INSTRUCTIONS
from his government 10 discuss WIN
The state department the points on
which there is disagreement, he would
await new orders from Mexico CITY,
before undertaking The proposed nesn'
tiations. He added that he dld nor
expect TO take up the question OF ar

would leave that to Dr.. Alfredo tatu-
rcgli, Gen. Carranzas financial agent
stationed al New York.
II is believed here that the question

THE Mexican government Will come up
before the conversations have prog
ressed very far. The Washington ad-
minislration is understood TO be as
firmly convinced as ever that the only
proper and efficient cure Tor the dis
treSsinG condition OF its southern
ineighbor must be found within that
country, not through intervention. At
The same time a cure for the lawleSs
conditions in the border states must
be found before The United States can
feel justified in abating in any degree

There is no question that the Mex
lean government will contend force
fully for the withdrawal Of American
troops from Mexico. Since the pur-
pose 10 compel their withdrawal has
been abandoned, officials do not look
for another deadlock on that issue.
President Wilson is said to be ready
10 order the troops out promptly when
he has any assurance that It VIII not
mean merely Il renewal OF the condl-
lions that caused them TO be sent in.
But no plan of action now agreed upon
can be based upon an agreement 10
Withdraw them.

Mobilization Of the National Guard

reports and the state soldiers arc ce'-

Events in Mexico will determine
that 1t is certain that the entire mo-
bile regular army will be kept in bord-

Publication today. of Secretary

guard with dependent families BIZ dis
CHARGED from the service was the first
sign AT The war department that ten

regarded as making unnecessary any

soldiers families and also carries out
the expected desire of President Will
