Washington, Jan. 23.-Withdrawal
of the outposts of General Pershing' $
force in Mexico has been ordered by
the war department with the approval
of President Wilson.
No date for the sending of Ambas-
sador Fletcher to the Mexican capital
has been set, it was stated officially
today.
The question of lifting the embargo
on the expectation of arms into Mex
leo is being considered but no deci-
sion has been reached because of the
compieXty of the problem. The de-
cision of the government is that the
embargo will be lifted as soon as the
government is assured the arms will

Cuardsmen who return to find their
jobs filed will receive assistance from
the department, of labor. Commissioner
Caminetti today issued orders to all

ance between villa and Zapata

sentatiyes of those two chiefs at

less concerned in the alliance than re-
norts made by Villas field officers that
they have now concentrated, south and
west of Chihuahua, 5000 men equipped

Villas concentration of so strong

BRYAN cRITicIZEs SPEECH.
Declares President Wilson Sows Wheat
and Iares Together.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 23.-"The pres
ident's message is a wonderfully elo-
m1ent appeal to the nations at war;
declared William J. Bryan in an in
terview here today. Insofar as the
message suggests terms of agreement
it is entirely sound and reflects what
7 believe to be an almost unanimous
sentiment But dissent entirely from
the proposition that this nation should
ioin in a movement to effect peace in
E..,;rocc, !fI know the sentiment Of the
American people it is inconceivable
that they are willing to put the Amer
lean army and navy at the command
of an international council and allow
that council to decide for US when we
would go to war.
"In the presidents appeal he pre-
sents the philosophy Of brotherhood
and cn-nneratinn and this ts incon-
sistent with the proposition tnat it
should be backed up with a larger dis
play of force. In other words the pres
ident has sown wheat and tares to-
gether hope that the senate will ap-
prove of the wheat and reject the
tares.

an unusual manner close to the water

Paris, Jan. 23-President Wilson's
address to the senate is printed in full
in the most prominent place by all the
morning papers and comment as a
whole is sympathetic, but skeptical
The Petit Parisien says it seems that
President Wilson has made the mis-
take Of placing the states attacked and
the attacker on the same plane. With
that stipulation it adds, I'VE can only
subscribe to the formulae which the
president sets forth as a basis Of future
peace. None of his conceptions can
offend us. They are ours. We GER
tainly will not oppose them. 1t gives
us only pleasure to see these plans fai'
liberty and justice eloquently upheld
by Mr. Wilson"
Must Be Convinced by Force.
TN entire agreement with President
Wilson as to the principles enunciated
by him. we nevertheless, shall believe,
until more fully informed" says the
Matin, that there is q portion Of hu
manity upon which these principles
must be imposed by force. 1t would be
erroneous to suppose they could be led
to accept them from conviction
MIR. Wilson is obsessed with the
idea Of inaugurating for the world a
golden age of universal brotherhood"
says the Journal. His whole message
is dominated by that noble chimera
and that must be invoked as an excuse
in order to alternate the provocation
which this extraordinary manifesto can
not fail to make on the allied countries.
''Mr Wilson'S scheme is simplicity
itself except that it requires a new
type Of man." it continues "Since the
world has been the world, human pas
sions have caused conflict to arise in
every stage Of its organization-in
families, tribes, nations, groups Of ma
tions. Does Mr. Wilson intend to
change human nature?"

1.-The first is that it is worthless TO
make promises about the future unless
in the present we keep those we have
already made. Unless this government
is prepared at this moment to take an
emphatic position as regards such a
hideous outrage as the deportation OF
the men and women of northern France
and Belgium. it is both ridiculous and
insincere for us to mouth about stand
ing for righteousness.
"Moreover unless this government
can bring the peace of justice to Mex

Splendid Policy, London View,

London, Jan. 90. - The Manchester
Guardian, commenting on President
Wilson's speech to the senate, calls it
splendid policy nobly expressed"
The Guardian says:
THE speech in form was addressed
to the senate but it equally concerns
ourselves. The president has no in
tention of taking any part in the actual
negotiations Of the terms of peace;
that he leaves wholly to the bel!iger-
tents He simply~eomes forward now to
state in unmistakable terms both for
his own people and the other peoples CT
the world. every one of whom is direct
ly concerned, what kind Of peace it is
he will consent to call upon his coun-
trymen to approve and sustain.
1T is splendid policy noblt ex-
pressed. How will it be received? BY
the peoples everywhere we can not
doubt, joyfully; by men Of good win
and enlightenment everywhere not less
joyfully, and with a clear perception
that this is no vision Of Utopia but a
l-thought-o and justly-framed
scheme Of q man in a great position
and versed in great affairs
Says Mediation Is Premature
The Standard refers to the speech
as astounding, and speaking of Ger
man claims of victory continues:
I'm other words mediation is prema-
ture and if persisted in should be in
terpreted as desire to help the party
which already claims to have won
Moreover, it is not clearly what title
legal or moral. President Wilson as
sumes he has the right to shake the
destiny Of the European continent. H
did not protect the infringement of The
Hague convention. He has expressed
no sympathy for the sufferings of BEL
gium, France, Serbia nor Poland. We
have heard his voice only since Ger
many appeared visibly on the decline"
The Globe, asking President Wilson
what he had done for Justice and l1u-
manity for the rights of the weak and
honor Of the strong, that you should
now presume to school us In the
mighty conflict in which we are now
engaged" says he did not protest
against the invasion of Belgium and
merely wrote a note when the Cunard
liner Lusitania was torpedoed.

SEQ no Unneutrality.
These diplomats admitted that the
first impression the speech would
make in England was that it was
pro- German, but they We're quick to
add that they knew a mature consid-
Grafton of it would absolve the pres-
dent of any deliberate Immortality in
the mind of the British public.
The principal argument entente dip
lomats made was. that the establish
ment of really effective league to en-
force peace would be absolutely nec-
essary. in order to make it safe for
the allies to make the concessions re-
sarding Limitation of armaments. neu-

U. S. Can't Join League?
Grave doubt was expressed that the
United States could. in the near future,
be brought to commit itself definitely
to such league.
With the power to declare war and
use the armed forces vested by the
constitution in congress and not in the
president, and with the ratification Of
the senate necessary to conSummate
treaties under the same instrument,
these diplomats declared they saw lit
tie hope of this countrys participation
in a peace Ica- of that character.
Bernstorff Pleased.
At the German embassy-every one
from Ambassador Won Bernstorff down,
appeared highly pleased with the ad-
dress. Count Won Bernstorf declined to
make any comment on the ground that,
as viewed by him. it was a purely
American matter. But he made no at
tempt to disguise his obvious pleasure
at the course pursued by President
Wilson.
From the Teutonic viewpoint the
most important feature of the prcsi-
dents address lies in the fact that it
undoubtedly means the movement for
peace is not dead. as was generally be-
lieved The movement Of the central
powers for peace conference is fin
ished. Presumably the replies of the
entente allies to the central powers and
to President Wilson, at least on the
surface, closed the door to peace for
the present But by his remarkable
utterance yesterday President Wilson
reopened the door, at least part
way.
One Striking Sentence.
According to the Teutonic view. per-
haps the most striking passage in the
presidents address is the sentence
reading: 'FSuch a settlement can not
be long postponed This referred to
the establishment of peace and justice
thruout the world. guaranteed by the
power and authority Of the people OF
