WITHDRAWAL OF u. 8. TROOPS
RECOMMENDED BY AMER.
ICAN MEMBERS

New York, January 15-The Next
can-American Joint Commission
which failed to effect an adjustment
Of the question at issue between Next
co and the United States after series
of conferences that began four months
ago, was formally dissolved late to-
day.
| Secretary of Interior Lane and the
other members OF the American Com
mission, DR.. ]. r. Mott and Judge
George Gray, told the Mexicans that
they had recommended to President
Wilson the dispatch to Mexico Of Am
bassador Fletcher and the withdrawal
of the American troops from Chihua-
hua.
Problem Reyerts TO Wilson
The Americans impressed upon the
Mexicans that with the dissolution OF
the commission the Mexican problem
reverts to President Wilson. They
were careful not to leave in the minds
Of the Mexicans the conviction that
President Wilson would accept the
recommendation that an accredited
diplomat be sent to Mexico and thai
General Pershing's force be with.
drawn, but the intimation that he
would do so was conveyed.
In spite of the Americans care
however, the Mexicans had little doubt
tonight that full diplomatic relations
between the two Governments soor
would be re-establshed and that un.
less unexpected complications arise
American troops will be removed from
Mexican territory within few days
The probability of such action was in
cluded in the report of the last meet
ing, which was telegraphed to Genera
Carranza at Queretaro.
Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexi
can commission, and Ignacio Bonillas
and Alberto J. PAM, the other mem
bers, said they expected to leave with
in week or ten days for Mexico Not
withstanding the dissolution of thu
commission they expressed them
selves as pleased with the Withdrawal
of the American troops, the main OBJ
ject of Carranza in sending them her,
would be achieved.
Continuance Useless
Twice General Carranza has refused
to ratify the protocol signed at Allan,
tic City, N. j., in which conditions fol
the withdrawal of troops had beer
made, and that refusal the Americans
construed as indicative of what NIGH
be expected If the conferences were
continued.
The Mexicans expressed regret thai
the conferences had been brought tc
an end, but they, too, admitted that 9
further discussion appeared useless
and no effort was made to have them
prolonged
1t was intimated to the Mexicans
that when General Pershings troops
are taken out of Mexico it would be
when 1t appeared evident that bandits
were not menacing the northern Dor.
der of Chihuahua, the essential condi.
ton in the protocol Carranza refused
to ratify.
The American commissioners de.
clared they did not regard the work OF
the commission as failure. since a
clearer understanding of conditions
affecting both Governments had been
reached.
