ARMY TO QUIT MEXICO
SLOWLY AS U. S. TALKS
PEACE, SAYS REPORT
President Wilson Accepts Car
rama Plan to Appoint Joint
Commission to Adjust Dis
pute Between Nations
WITHDRAWAL HAS BEGUN

Ell PASO, Tex, July 14.-Pancho
Villa has sent an ultimatum to General
Trevino, at chihuahua City, demanding
the surrender of the city, according to
reports received here today. If the
town is not turned over at the approach
of his forces he threatens to sack it
and execute the officers.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-President Will
son is expected to announce to the Cabinet
his acceptance of one of General Carranzas
proposals for the settlement of the Mexican
problem. Several suggestions were pre-
scented to acting Secretary of State Polk by
Ambassador Designate Arredondo today and
were sent to the President. Mr.. Polk
probably will send for Mr.. Arredondo this
afternoon and tell him Mr. Wilson's de-
Cision.
The plan the President is expected to ac-
Cept provides for joint commission which
shall suggest settlement. The organiza-
tOn of such a commission would take sew
eral weeks, thus giving the United States
time to watch developments in the new
Nillista rebellion.
The commission, it is understood, will have
only advisory powers, So that its conclusions
will not be binding Unless unforeseen
events intervene. however, both Mexico and
that respects the sovereignty of the former
and gives adequate protection to the Amer
lean frontier.
During the organization and deliberations
of this commission General Pershing will
remain in Mexico. The only element OF
danger, therefore, is the possibility of an
other armed clash such as that at Carrizal
due TO conflicting orders of subordinate
military commanders. Both Governments,
it is declared, will maze every effort TO
avoid this.
Army officers who have urged the with
drawal of the Pershing expedition saw in Il
report from General Pershng today new
reasons for ordering him home The report
was made public at the War Department
as follows:
"Mcxicans in this vicinity along railroad
reported very friendly toward Americans
last few days Generally believed trouble
between United States and Mexico settled
Rainy season on in earnest; heavy rains
reported at various stations along lines
during last few days Shall report within
day or two the effect of rains on roads and
general prospects regarding road main
tenancc."
Pershing depends entirely on motor
transports for food and supplies.
Reports from El Paso say that General
Pershing already has begun his with
drawal as the result of an understanding
with the Carranza Government.
