WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Mexican
problems, though comparatively
small beside the German-American
situation, perplexed and worried Of
ficials here today.
Press reports that yillistas are
camped below the border at Palomas,
plus General Carranza's anti-ally
note, gave affairs tinge that Of
ficials here disliked.
1t appeared entirely likely that Vii
la might take advantage Of overshad
owing international problems to
start something along the border.
General Carranza, either through
German influence or otherwise, has
suggested cutting off supplies for
the allies-which would include the
British oil deposits OF Tampico.
Whether he will take action to back
up his suggestions, no one here
knows; but the possibility was suf-
ficiently likely to prove disturbing
element.
