BRITAIN WILL TAKE ACTION
AGAINST CARRANZA IS
REPORT.
Will ASK PROTECTION
ENGLAND MAY BECOME IN.
vOLvED IN THE MEXICAN
SITUATION.



Washington, Aug. 1S.-The action of
Carranza in virtually deporting the
representative of the British govern
ment in Mexico has added new COM
plication to the Mexican muddle, tho
results of which will be watched with
intense interest by all nations whose
nationals have been suffering from the
instability of government south of the
Rio Grande. England, now the world
was is over, will take up the question
of obtaining protection for British in
terests in Mexico and in so doing will
come into collision with Carranza,
whom the British government has new
err recognized.
If Great Britain should contemplate
taking forcefui measures for bringing
Carranza to time, 1t Is not doubted
that she would ask the consent of the
United States in Difference to the Mon
roe doctrine, or ut least appeal to the
United States to take such steps as
would procure protection and respect
for the interests of British subjects IN
Mexico }N-
At the Paris peace conference both
England and France discussed the
Mexican question with President Will
son, and the latter is said to have CIV
en- assurances OF adopting a more Wig
orous policy in dealing with Carranza.
The first evidence OF fulfillment Of
this promise is the Presidents note of
July % Threatening Carranza with .
radical change of policy unless Amer
ican lives and property are protected.
Unless the situation mends material
ly, Great Britain will not hesitate to
bring Mexico before the bar of tho
league of nations with view to bav-
ing neutrality-suspicious. the United
States-appointed to govern the cha
otto land.
The chief subject of discussion in
Mexico City. according to mail re-
ceived through official channels, Is the
possibility of Intervention by the
United States.
Mexicans do not approve the idea OF
Intervention by this country but ad.
vices say the situation has become -
disorganised during the protracted
revolutionary period that one Mexico
City daily paper declares so per cent
Of the population look on the possible
ity of Intervention with Indifference
while 90 per cent Of the educated class
