NOTE TO MEXICO
MUCH DISCUSSED
Virtual Ultimatum of U. S.
Chief Topic in Washing
ton Circles.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The state
departments latest note TO Mexico,
warning President CarranzR that II
murders and i~ndiRnities OF American
citizens continue the United states
may be forced TO adopt a radical change
in attitude toward that country was
the chief topic Of interest and discus
sion in official diplomatic circles hero,
The note, made public late yesterday
along with q reply from the Mexican
government, lacked only diplomatic
technicalities to make it an ultimatum
AND was couched in probably the
strongest language used in any COM
since the exchanges just prior to the
occupation of Vera Cruz by American
armed forces.
While no official statement was made
concerning the announcement at this
time In the change Of policy and out
wardly there was no apparent reason
other than the continued m~istreatment,
robbery and murder Of American citi-
gems in Mexico, 1t generally was the
opinion today that pressure from for
eign g~overnnents and demand in con
gressional Scircles for some protective
action FASTENED the announcement
1t was pointed out that should some
drastic step become necessary the
United States from a military point Of
view now Is In better shape to act than
at any time in its history of long
drawn-o controversy with the Ameri-
can nation as TO American rights and
privileges.
The note was presented to the Car
rama government at Mexico City by
Charge Summerlin, Of the American
embassy, acting in the absence Of Am
bassador Fletcher. The reply vas made
July 20 by Salvador Diego Fernandez,
In charge Of the department Of foreign
relations.
