'Specifically, the American force wore withdrawn at the urgent appes of General Carranza. first chief o the Constitutionalist army. Throng Paul Puller, personal representativ <of President Wilson in Mexico, Gen oral Carranza set forth that th presence of American troops, instea of being a safeguard against furthe revolution and peace with the Unite States, constituted a constant menac to friendly relations. The Mexica chief contended?and he was sup ported by Generals Villa and Ohrt Ron?that the Mexican people woul not understand the continued pres once of American tr?ops on Mexicai soil and would cherish resentment no matter how well intentioned th American government was.
