United States Must Wait
Until Carranza Displays
Unwillingness to Protect
Americans.
INTERVENTION NOW
CONSIDERED REMOTE
Decree Forbidding Further
Export of Arms and Mu-
nitions to Mexican Gov
ernment is Issued.

Washington, August 15.--No answer
to the reply of the Mexican govern
ment to the state departments warn
ing that the failure 70 protect Ameri-
cans might result in a radical change
in policy will be made. officials ex-
planned. The United States must wait
until Carranza has displayed either an
unwillingness or an inability to afford
Americans the protection they had a
right to expect before taking further
action.
One of the first possibilities of the
action should the government be forced
to it. would be to withdraw it's diplo-
matte representatives or even to with
draw recognition of the Carranza gov
ernment. Active Intervention is con-
sidered in most quarters remote
measure at this stage.
The Carranza government. by spe-
cial provisions has been receiving arms
and ammunition from the United
States. but ii was indicated today that
the decree forbidding expectation of
war munitions to Mexico would be ap-
piled to the government well as to
the Individual until further proof has
been given that foreigners would re-
ceive adequate protection

lacked only diplomatic technicalities to
make it an ultimatum and was couch
ed in probably the strongest language
used in any communications between
the two republics since the exchanges
just prior to the occupation of Vera
Cruz by American armed forces.
While no official statement was made
concerning announcement at this time
in the change of policy and outwardly
there was no apparent reason other
than the continued mistreatment, rob-
berry and murder of American citizens
in Mexico, it generally was the opin-
ion today that pressure from foreign
governments and demand in congress
sional circles for some protective ac-
tion FASTENED the announcement. 1t
was pointed out that should some dras-
tic step become necessary the United
States from a military point of view
now is in better shape to act than at
any time In It's history Of longdrawn
out controversy with the Mexican ma
tion as to American rights and privi-
leges.
The note was presented to the Car
zanga government at Mexico City by
charge Summerlin of the American en-
bassy. acting in the absence OF Am
bassador Fletcher. The reply was
made July 2S by Salvador Diego Fer
nandez in charge of the department Of
foreign relations.

CHAMBER URGES
WORK ON ROAD.
TO BARRANCAS
County Commissioners Are
Asked to Make Tempo
rary Repairs While I'm
tangling Legal Snarl.

In letter to the Chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, the
Chamber of Commerce asks that some
action be taken at once toward putting
the Barrancas road in passable con-
dition. The letter states that the un-
paved gap in the road is in such bad
condition that it is practically impas-
sable and is calling forth repeated
complaint from officers and men of the
Air Station, Army Post and civilians
whose duties call them to the reserva-
tion.
The letter urges that. the legal
points holding up work on the road
be settled and the contractor author
lied to go ahead with construction.
Should the Commissioners find
themselves unable to straighten out
the legal tangle. the Chamber of Com
merce asks that some measures be
taken to put the road in usable con-
dition until a final settlement is
made.
When the legal tangle over Con-
tractor Gherkins' purchase of time
warrants first developed, Engineer
Payne told the commissioners of the
condition of the Barrancas road, and
Commissioners Candy was appointed a
committee of one to see what steps
could be taken to make temporary re-
pairs.

that over twenty republicans
wanted to see it accepted in
the near future, with reserva-
tions along lines similar to
those agreed on by the seven
senator's of that party some
days ago.
Washington, August 15.-Treaty
plans for the white house conference
were virtually completed during the
day with the agreement that both the
white house and the committee stenog-
raphers should be present and tran
scrip resolutions TO be issued to the
press. Senator Lodge also gave his
assent to the presence of newspaper
correspondents at the meeting but said
that was question for the president
to decide. The proposal that stenogra-
pf1ers be present came from the presi-
dent in reply to a request that COM
mitt+e members should not be restrain
ed to secrecy about the discussions.
Republicans favoring reservations
said poll disclosed that thirty sena-
tors of their party would support reser-
vations along the general lines laid
down by the seven republicans if the
treaty could be brought promptly out
OF committee and ratified on that basis.
Although Senator Hitchcock, Nebras-
ka. the administration leader, still dis
claimed any part in the negotiations
for a settlement, 1t was apparent that
the move had reached proportions
which might threaten the plans OF the
committee for calling additional wit
nesses and prolonging consideration Of
the treaty.
senator Hitchcock had an oppont-
ment to see President Wilson at the
white house late today and was ex-
pected to lay before him the whole
senate situation. especially as regards
prompt committee action. The admip-
istration leader declined to say wheth-
er he would suggest change in the
announced stand of the administra-
tion against reservations.
senator Lodges letter to the Presi-
dent said:
.Soon after the treaty of Versailles
had been laid before the senate. Sena-
tor Hitchcock informed the commit
tee on foreign relations that il the
committee desired at any time TO see
YOU for the purpose OF discussing the
treaty YOU would be glad to receive

TaIxinr advantage of this suggestion.
