quests House That Yankee

MEXICAN EMBASSY
ISSUES STATEMENT
Says Mexico Has a Stable
Government Despite Fact
That in Isolated Sections
Bandits Remain at Large.

Washington, July 26,-Outstand-
ing developments in the Mexican
situation can be summarized as fol-
lows:
Redoublng of efforts by the gov
eminent to prevent smuggling of
arms across the border and a warn
ing by the president to citizens that
violation of the antismuggling law
would be vigorously prosecuted.
An address in the house by Rep
resentative Hudspeth, democrat,
Texas, urging withdrawal of the
recognition of the Carranza gov
ernment and military occupation of
Mexico by American forces until
stable government has been. estab
!ished.
Dispatch of messages to members
of the Mexican senate and house by
Henry P. Fletcher, American am
bassador to Mexico, asking their
cooperation towards securing more
efficient and adequate protection
for American lives in the southern
republic.
Receipt of advices by the state
department that Philip Thompson,
14-year-old son of an American citi-
zen had been kidnapped by bandits
from his fathers ranch, thirty miles
from Mexico City, and was being
held for 1900 pesos ransom.
Reports of a new outbreak of anti
American propaganda by Mexican
newspapers, especially those recog-
nized as Carranza organs in Mexico
City. Officials believe the kidnapping
ofyoung Thompson is direct re-
suit of the inflammation of public
opinion by this propaganda.
Embassy Issues Statement.
Issuing of statement by the
Mexican embassv declaring that
Mexico today has \ stable govern
ment, although bandits are at large
in some districts and reminding the
American people that it was several
years after the civil war before or
der was fully restored throughout
the south
The ambassadors statement fol-
lows:
Mexico today has a stable gov
ernment. True, there are some dis
tricts in which few bandits are at
large. Mexico is in the aftermath
of civil war and the conditions in
these few areas are such as have fol-
lowed such struggles in all lands. In
your own south it was many years
after Appomatox before conditions
were restored to normal and your
central government was occupied a
long time in the work of pacifica-
ton in few of the remoter dis
tricts. Yet, because the James boys,
the Apache Kid, Geronimo and other
bandits in the southwest continued
their depredations after the civil
war, no one would have urged that
the American government was 'un-

Believed President Soon Will
Make Known Definitely His
Attitude Towards a Peace
With Some Reservations.
PUBLIC Statement
EXPECTED FROM HIM
Tentative Draft of DeCIara-
tions Acceptable to Repub-
|icans Laid Before Chief
Executive by Sen. Spencer.

Washington, July 26.-The next
important move in the senate dis
agreement over resolutions to the
peace treaty is expected to come
from President Wilson.
Having canvassed the senate
situation in his conferences with
IS republican senators, all Of
whom are said to have told
him they would support certain
reservations, it is expected the
president soon will make known
definitely his attitude toward such a
course. 1t is indicated at the White
House that expression of his views
on the subject might not await his
speaking tour to begin two weeks
hence, but might be embodied in a
public statement in few days.
This aroused great interest among
republican senator's. Several repub
licans have told Mr.. Wilson the
treaty never could be ratified with
out interpretative qualifications. and
Friday at the suggestion, it is un-
derstood, of Republican Leader
Lodge, a tentative draft of reserva-
tions indicating in general way
the trend of opinion among many
republican senators was laid before
the president by Senator Spencer,
republican, Missouri.
Now Presidents Move.
Leaders for reservation say it is
now the presidents move.
The group of republicans who are
under the lead of Senators McCum-
Der, North Dakota, and McNary,
Oregon, are working on reserva-
ton program, designed to clarity
the league of nations covenant with
out vitality weakening it, believe the
president will announce his &C
ceptance of such a course and that
quick ratification of the treaty will
ensue. In their talks with Mr.. Will
son, they say, he has indicated no
radical antagonism to senate quail
hcations, his only fear being that
the whole subject might be thrown
back into renegotiation.
The presidents democratic sup
porters in the senate are not in ac-
cord with this view and predict he
will assert shimself for unreserved
ratification and then go to the coun-
try in an effort to fortify public
sentiment behind that stand.
Sees no Republicans.
The president saw no republican
senator's Saturday, but in a letter to
Mr.. Lodge replied to inquiries about
the treaty sent to the White House
by the foreign relations committee
He wrote that so far as he knew, no
decision had been reached for di-
vision of Germany's indemnity pay
ments under the treaty's provision
that it shall be allotted among her
enemies "in the proportion which
fas been determined by them in ad-
vance. The letter also said Mr.
Wilson was preparing to- send the
committee papers they had asked
for in connection with the Versailles
negotiations.
