MEXICO AND UNITED STATES

The friction between the United
States and Mexico, which had threat
ened for two years or more to result
In open warfare, began to disappear
early in 1917 and when. the atten-
ton Of the people of the U1fted States
was focused upon more important
matters by the entrance of the
United States into the world war, the
Mexican "crisis'' faded from the public
view. ":..=.-
$ Despite the failure of negotiations
with the, Carranza government Presi-
dent Wilson ordered the withdrawal of
the American troops from Mexico and
on February s, General Pershing and
his troops marched out of Mexico af-
ter having been in that country almost
year. /
On March. II, General Carranza was
formally elected president Of Mexico.
From this time on conditions in Mexi-
co became more tranquil and there
were evidences that President Carran-
"a was succeeding in restoring order
in the republic. 1t was not until late
in the year that Villa again became &C.
tive. On November IL, troops led by
Villas aids, captured Ojinaga, on the
American border, after hard fight.
Several hundred Carranza soldiers fled
across the border and were interned
in the United States.
