question in letter written by Sam
uel H. McMeekin, commander. JEFF
ferson post. Louisville. to the execu-

profit-earning shipping board ves-
sells These bonds, the plan pro-
vides, would be issued in $50, 500.
$500 and $1,000 denominations and

Agents Of Revolution Refrain
From Making Oyertures
To America
Attitude of United States
Shaped By Stand Rebels
Take If Successful

Washington, May 6.-Official inter-
est in the development of the politi-
cal phases of the sweeping revolution
in Mexico has been stimulated by.
government reports which continue
to indicate a rapid weakening of
Carranza's grip. Although any rec
ognition by this government of the
rebel movement other than that ac-
corded any de facto force was said
to be improbable, it is known agents
OF the state department have studied
carefully the promulgated program
OF the rebels and the published as
surances of Alvaro Obregon and
other leaders of the, revolt that d
more friendly attitude toward for
eigners will be adopted.
Await Decision.
In marked contrast to the methods
used by those who have acted in sim
tion here have refrained from MAX
ing any overtures TO the United
States government. And it is UNDER
stood no. plea for special consider
alton will be made until the success
of the rebel movement is assured.
In the event that Carranza is forced
out of the presidency the attitude OF
the United States. according to sonle
officials, will be shaped to certain
extent by the attitude taken by the
rebels.
lack of unanimity as to the con-
dition that will be approved by the
rebels if they win already has been
forecast by the statements of those
connected with the anti -Carranza
Obregon has declared
himself in favor of the plan Of
adoption of the constitstion of 1917,
but the preliminary president. Adolfo
de. la Huerta. has announced that en-
dorsement of the plan should be
only after sharp revision.
Hucrta Mentioned.
The progress of the revolutionary
movement already is such that the
rebels are planning an early compile
ton Of their program which calls for
the selection of a provisional presi-
dent when Mexico City is occupied

J The nafAinE of de la Huerta rs an
acting president land the selection of
an acting cabinet has been explain
cd as merely preliminary and done
for the purpose Of orga anization. The
plan provides for the. selection Of a
supreme commander of the army
within sixty days or before June %.
The more optimistic rebel leaders in
sist that unless such leader is
chosen quickly, the choice Of pro-
visional president may be made first
Official and unofficial sdvices
agree in general that revolutionary
forces are appearing with startling
rapidity in almost all parts of the
country, and that steps toward their
CO. ordination are we'll under way
Army officers here who have been
studying the situation do not agree
with the optimistic claims of some
of the rebel leaders that Mexico Citv5
, will be taken within week orr ten
days, but they are convinced that
Carranza will experience difficulty in
extricating himself
