Washington Jan. 3.-President Will
son is contemplating the early with
drawal Of the American troops COM
manded by Major Gsa. John ]. Po-sh-
ing, from the Mexican State of Chi
huahua, to the American border 1t
could not be ascertained from what
was gathered here today that the posi-
tive decision had been reached to
withdraw the expedition, but there
appeared to be ample ground for the
statement that the President is ser
iously considering preparations for the
voluntary withdrawal to the border
independent of the Atlantic City pro-
focal which General Carranza has de-
clined to sign in it's present form.
Franklin x. Lane, Chairman Of the
American section of the Joint Interna-
ton Commission, made public yes;ter-
day the text of the protocol signed at
Atlantic City on Nov. "a. This pro-
tocol was not to become effective un-
til approved by both governments. The
action of General Carranza in with
holding his approval is based on his
desire for a modification of the agree
ment and his preference for the with
drawa1 of the troops without any
agreement, and voluntary on the part
Of the United States Government.
Secretary Lanes action in giving out
the text Of the protocol, as signed by
the Commissioners, although not an
proved by the de facto Government,
was explained in an authoritative
quarters as meaning that the efforts
of the Commission to obtain the con-
sent of both Governments to a troop
withdrawal agreement had failed. and
that the endeavor to settle this matter
by commission was to be abandoned.
Wilson Expected to Act

the protocol and the Discrimination Of
the American Commissioners to &C

ed to be followed by early announce
nfent perhaps tomorrow, that the
American Commissioners have decided
to refer the question Of withdrawing
the troops to the President for indie
pendent action. The belief grew
strong today that the President soon
would authorize the announcement
that it has been decided voluntarily
to withdraw the troops without max
ing an agreement for their recall
The expedition rs costing the Uni
ted States about $14, 600, 900 month.
High army officials are in favor Of
early withdrawal as a military meas
ure. pointing out that the America
troops have been idle for many
months, and that no good purpose is
being served by their continued pres
ence in Mexico. It is known that army
officials do no regard the position
which the Pershfng forces occupy as a
strong military line, and that for pro-
lection Of the border against raids
they, from strict military viewpoint
would be in a stronger strategic posi-
ton If withdrawn to the American
side Of the line. =
