TROOPS WITHDRAWN
FOR MILITARY CAUSE
Refrograde Movement Or
dered by Dickman Alone.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.--withdrawal
of the American punitive expedition
from Mexico was ordered by Mator-Gen.
Dickman, commander of the Southern
Department, II was indicated tonight
by Secretary Baker.
There had been a belief in official cir
Giles at the War Department throughout
all of the day that the withdrawal was
imminent, but Secretary Barker said to-
night he was without Official information
as to the return across the border.
The orders received by Gen. Dickman
from the Department. it is known, were
so explicit that instructions from WASH
ington were not needed.
The border commander was to organ
lie a force capable of being moved
swiftly to the scene of the detention of
Lieuts. Davis and Peterson, the two
army aviators held for ransom by BAN
dts; to capture or destroy the band
and to ''clean up thoroughly the section
in which this and other isolated groups
Of bandits have been operating. II was
presumed by officials that Gen. Dickmi n
either considered these instructions TO
have been carried out or that the ex-
petition was unable to pick up further
hot trails"
The decision to withdraw the expedi-
ton. II was said officially, was wholly
military one and was entirely outside
the diplomatic questions raised through
filing of protest at the State Department
by Mexican Ambassador Bonilias.

Ell PAso, Tex. Aug. 24.-The United

punitive expedition which was sent
across the border under Gen. John J.
Pershing on March is, 1916, in pursuit
OF Francisco Villas bandits.
That expedition, which followed the
Villa raid on Columbus. n. NJ, in which
seventeen persons were killed, was COM
posed of 1000 men. who marched more
than 200 miles into the territory of the
southern republic. Several clashes be-
tween United States troops and Villa
followers resulted With the Villa
bands dispersed, the expedition with

on several other occasions in the past
two years small detachments of troops
have been sent across the border in
pursuit OF marauding bands On Au-
gust 81, 1918, American and Mexican
troops fought two hours at Nogales
AriZ., following a clash between Custom
House Guards. An American officer
and one American soldier were killed

losses were 119 killed.

China's despoliation. This means an
enormous practical sacrifice to Japan,
and 1t Is freely stated that no Govern
nent could last in Toxic which would
sanction such sacrifice. But. on the

tors here.
1t is believed probable now that the
Japanese Government will fully realize
that the American people are in earnest
W demanding this change in the treaty
before sanctioning II. SO far the news
reaching the Far East has frequently
made 1t appear that the opposition to
the Shantung provisions was not very
serious and was mostly political. This
naturally tended to discourage the Japa-
reese Government from taking any action
10 restore Shantung or repudiate the
secret understandings. Reports sent by
the State Department to the American
legation In Pekin as late as January II,
and published broadcast in China and
Japan, made It appear that plans for
ratification of the treaty were progress
ing splendidly and added:
The Department of State thanks the
Osaka Asahi for its congratulations to
President Wilson on the conclusion Of
peace and his service to humanity"
These reports sent via diplomatic
channels naturally have tended to make
the Japanese Government believe that
corrective action was not necessary. 1t
IS regarded as not improbable that the
President himself will make 1t clear to
Toxic that definite arrangements looking
to the restoration OF Shantung to China
would greatly facilitate the present criti-
cal situation.

the following note to the Hungarian

Der of the Hapsburg family:
The allied and associated Powers
have been further considering informa.
ton derived from our reports and from
other sources as to recent events in
Budapest. Their conclusions are az
follows:
"They are most anxious to conclude
a durable peace with the Hungarian
people, but they feel that this cannot bs
done while the present Hungarian GOV.
eminent is in power.
That Government came into existence
not by the will of the people but by
coup d'etat carried out by small body

eign army.
1T has at dts head member Of the
House of HapsDurg. whose policies and
actions were largely responsible for the
calamities under which the world is SUI

negotiated by such Government is not
likely to be lasting; nor can the allied
and associated Governments give thu
economic support which Hungary needs
I'm its reply that Archduke Joseph il
prepared, before approaching the allied
and associated Governments, to submit
his claim to the test of popular elections.
we must reply that this procedure can
not be satisfactory If the election to be
carried out under the auspices of an ad.

controls.
THE difficulties in the way Of OBJ

serious. They would be overwhelming

Hapsburg influences. Even If an assem-.

think so.
I'm the interest, therefore, OF Eu.

Governments mean to insist that the
present claimant to the leadership Of
the Hungarian State should resign and
that Government in which all parties

confidence OF an Assembly so elected"

NOW CONCILIATORY
Cabrera, Treasury Chief, Is
sues Statement on Vital
Issues.
WILL DEFINE POSITION
Retroactive Feature of Oil
Laws Defended by Quoting

WILL DEFINE POSITION
BIZ the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. "a (delayed) The
highest Mexican Government officials are
making a close study of the principal
points at issue between the Mexican and
American Governments with the view OF
reaching arrangements satisfactory to
the United States without impairment OF
Mexican national interests and Mexican
sovereignty, according to declarations
made last night by Luis Cabrera. Secre-
tary Of the Treasury and one of the lead
ing members of the Cabinet.
These points, as contained in a state
the necessity for a reciprocal border
guard service, are petroleum legislation,
indemnincations. frontier vigilance and
guarantees for the safety of foreigners
and foreign interests in Mexico.
Within three or four days, according
to Senior Cabrera, the Government off,
Gals will begin giving out to the Next
can press statements regarding the Gov
eminent standpoint on the questions at
issue and the means which Mexico can
rightfully adopt to meet foreign Govern
mental representations.
The declarations OF the Secretary are
somewhat of an indirect reply to critics
Of the Administration, who have been
intimating that Cabinet changes were
necessary preliminary to meeting the
present international problems.
Taking UP figures which he said were
recently quoted in the United States
Senate regarding Mexico's debt, Senior
Cabrera asserted that, including every
item, Mexico's obligations could be paid
in full with $500. 100000. Promising to
-, st ixy
he stated the total debts could be given
roughly as follows: Damages resulting
from the Madero and Constitutionalist
revolutions, $4s,000,0 900; indemnihcations
to foreign interests for the use Of rail-
ways and other public utilities. $4,000
eco; the remainder OF s5o0,o0o,0O0 is
divided between the redemption of paper
money. interest unpaid on the foreign
debt and the amount due banks.
''The right Of the constituent legislator
Is almost unlimited and cannot be
checked, when dealing with the public
organization. by rights acquired by pri-
vate parties. Examples which have been
cited are sufficient to demonstrate that
when the constituent legislator has con-
sidered It Of general interest TO enact
any law OF retroactive effect he has done
so even II he has passed over acquired
rights of many years which have been
sanctioned almost as rights inherent TO
man.
The only fundamental question is
this: Is the public interest at stake
when petroleum laws have been enacted
Evidently yes. Then the State has had
the right to enact such laws.
These statements express, briefly and
in part. the legal grounds upon which
the Mexican Government bases the right
of the Constituent Assembly OF Quere-
taro, which enacted the Mexican Consti-
tuition of 1917. TO place in that document
Article XVII, Matchmaking the oil
lands. They also provide defence for
the Presidential DEGREES on petroleum
developing Article XVII. which for
eign oil interests are attacking as con-
fiscatory.
