Washington oEy 2s.-Democratic opposition q ed today to Presi- Gent Wilson lest to Congress for authority ,latsSi,y pt a mandate over
 senator e ock, of Nebraska, ad- mnistratl q Ter in the peace treaty fight, joineu = publicans opposing the measure, and there were indications that other democrats would stand with him. Announcement of Senator Hitch cocks purpose not to support the ad- ministration in this instance was made while republican leaders of the House were trying to agree upon the speed jest method of disposing of the whole question.
 The meeting of the foreign affairs committee, called to obtain the views ofFSecretary Colby, was postponed be- cause of the secretary's inability to attend. but there were many informal conferences by both parties, at which members expressed strong objection to any proposal which would send Ameri- can troops to Europe or Asia.
 Chairman Porter said that the Presidents message would be consid- cred briefly and then laid on the ta- bic. which would end it.
 Inasmuch as the Senate has failed to ratify the treaty, with it's League or Nations covenant. republican members of the House committee declared there were legal objections to the Presi- dents proposal. They contended that tc accept a mandate would be like doing indirectly what Congress had not permitted to be done directly.
 The House committee is not expect e1 to meet until Friday, but the Sem ate foreign relations committee prob ably will take up the mandate ques- tion tomorrow In the Senate, as in the House, the general desire seemed to be to table it, although there was the suggestion that the President might call Congress in special session during the summer for its considera- ton.
 The President was asked in reso- luton introduced today by Represen- tative Mason, republican, Illinois TOT full information as to the cost and number of troops required in connec- ton with his mandate proposal. Mr. Mason insisted that Congress should know before adding to the burden Of the overtaxed people"

ARE BELIEVED SAFE

Concern over the safety of the Amer jeans was less than that manifested by revolutionary agents here over the re- sumption of the warfare waged be- tween Villa and the constituted au- thorities in Mexico for so many years. To the revolutionary agents, refusal of Villa to accept terms of eo-opera- tion and the consequent necessity of renewing military operations against
 him have meant a delay in the recog-
 hilton of their government either by
 the United States or any of the other
 great nations.
 No efforts have been made by the
 new government officials fo secure recognition and it is believed here that
 none will be made until some indica- a tion is received from the United States government that such action would re- ceive favorable attention. It has been explained that legally the government now existing in Mexico is eonstitu- tIonally correct and that De La Huerta, the president ad interim. might send a representative here as m ann bassador without awaiting recogni- tion but 1t Is known he and his as sociates have been advised to move slowly in/that respect and be content with any negotiations the United States government may have with the Mexican government as de faeto power.
