4 Note Of Optimism
 On Mexicdn MuddLe

Charles ii. Newell, editor Ot the Dallas Dispatch after spending some weeks in Mexico, writes a most interesting and timely article on the Mexican situation in which he declares that kaiserisrn IS at last on the defensive in Mexico. This is good news, if true Mexico recent severance of diplomatic relations with our protege and ally, Cuba, was quite a shock. The unrestricted spread of German propaganda . in Mexico and the pro-German attitude generally of those holding official positions there have aroused disquietude if not dis trust in America. But this trained news paper editor has found that the counter of fensive of American propaganda has more than met and checked the work of German agents He views with optimism and con- fidence In part he declares:
 A declaration of war by Mexico against Germany may be expected within few weeks-six months at the most.
 The only alternative apparent today is another revolution by which President Car ranza will be deposed by Mexican factions eager to trade Mexican participation with the allies for allied support of an anti-Car- ranza revolt.
 None of Carranza's friends along the border believe he will dodge a decisive stand
 There are these three elements:
 First-The Carranza governmental fac ton, which will aim to preserve its power in the way that seems most sure.
 Second-The pro-German element that ignorantly hates and mistrusts America, and that seeks to control Carranza
 Third d-The pro-ally sympathizers now gaining strength, who are late in the field but are fast gaining ground.
 To the pro-ally diplomatic drive-to which 1 am permitted to give the first na- tional publicity with official consents attributed the internationally significant and happy shift in Mexican-American re- lations which has taken place in the last few weeks.
 Pro-ally propaganda has the following purposes, which its sponsors frankly state:
 First-Complete suppression in Mexico of German spy and propaganda work.
 Second - Full cooperation between Mexican and American troops all along the border in stopping all bandit raiding that has proved such a recent source of grave international irritation at a time when America is concentrating all her power against Germany abroad
 Third-Prompt and full suppression of anti-Carranza revolutionary junta activity in the United States.
 Fourth-Mutual trade agreements and resumption of exchange of labor and ma terial between Mexico and the United States.
 Elimination of German officers from advisory position in the Mexican army.
 Sixth-Rapid specialization of senti- ment among friends of the constitutional government in Mexico-both in and out of office-for flat declaration of war on the central empires.
 Seventh-Ultimate rehabilitation of the rich republic of Mexico with the co-opera- ton, both financial and military, and under the absolute protection of the ALLIES.
 This, in its large phases is the situa- tion in Mexico and along the border today, as have learned from official sources of unquestionable authority on both sides of the Rio Grande.
 OuCCSSSlul COnSuIIlHldtlOn or tneSe ann bilious plans of the real friends of Mexican independence and democracy they admit depends largely upon the measure of CO., operation extended by the United States and her allies
 l am in position to know that this CO., operation has been cordially extended by the Wilson administration, and that the British are fully in accord with the pro- gram.
