cans was not strong enough" and
Ibid not meet the real situation"
II would offer a resolution calling
for state of war between this coun-
try and Mexico If I thought the con
gress would adopt it," Ashurst re-
piled. II believe my resolution is as
far as the congress is willing to go,
and / doubt IL even 1t will be
adopted. 5 e
IF 1t is adopted will have sue
ceeded at least in puncturing the
lethargy of the government depart
ments and In stirring the war de-
partment to the kind Of action 1t

The Fall resolution was referred to
the senate foreign relations commit
tee, the Ashurst resolution to the
senate military affairs committee.
Lodge Forecasts Action.
Senator Lodge said a special meet
ing of the foreign relations commit
tee would be held probably tomor-
row to take immediate action on the
Fall resolution.
Senator Ashurst charged that he
had brought the peril of the citizens
Of the state to thasxattention Of the
war department on numerous occa-
sions without effect.
1.-THE people of my state are in
peril" Ashurst said. Residents OF
other states along the border are In
deadly peril" He referred to letters

forced to maintain an army sufficient

of difficulties arising out of inter-
national affairs with the United
States was entrusted dsn to President
Carranza without Legislative intru-
sion by the senate at a secret ses-

After declaring the American gov
ernment must await definite SEN
tence by the Puebla court, as the
Mexican authorities desire to proceed
with justice, the legations letter
says:
This cablegram shows that the
Mexican government, in this, as
in all other cases, is proceeding
with strict observance Of legal
precepts.
The capture of Gen. Felipe
Angeles is mentioned as further
evidence of Mexico's- endeavor to-
grant most ample guarantees to
foreigners in Mexican territory.
At StandstilI.
Washington, Dec. 3.--The Mexican
situation today is at a standstill
awaiting action on the part of the
Carranza government in reply to the
latest note sent by the United States
demanding the release of William 0.
jenkins, American consular agent.
The state department has let 1t be
known that it will not submit the
case to arbitration unless congress so
directs. 1t is expected that the Car
rama government will attempt to
resort to this in order to secure de-
lay and put the United States In the
light of refusing arbitration, but off,
cials here hold that the jenkins case
Is not of a character which may be
to arbitration under inter-
national law.
Neither will the state department
accept the release of jenkins as an
"act of grace" but such an act would
not be acceptable to this government.

upon the basis of the facts
