I ASSERTS HIS PJRTT SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED, Former First Chief Expbtfns ms Course as Dictated by Patriotism. fc:r ? Washington, June 12.?President! Wilson had before him tonight the first reply to his recent statement reI yarding Mexico. It consisted of a 'engthy "Proclamation to the People" t . issued yesterday by Gen. Carranza, as-1 serting the right of ti:e constitutionalists to recognition by the United J States and other foreign powers. Lack j cf recognition is declared to be the one difficulty remaining in the way of j restoring constitutional government in Mexico and the statement asserts: | "At this time we believe ourselves . to fce in a position to overcome this )ast difficulty because the constitu-! tionalist government is now actually j in definite possession of sovereignty rnd the legitimate exercise of sovereignty is the essential condition which should be taken into account when deciding upon recognition of a government" fi: \ Gen. Villa's answer also reached "Washington today, but was not delivered at the state deDartment. Until it is presented the Villa agency declined to make public the text. Department officials declined to comment on the abstract of the Villa statement carried in press dispatches or upon a copy of a letter from Villa to Carranza, also received at the agency, which urges that differences forgotten and suggests a personal meeting between the two leaders to 1 arrange for cooperation and restoration of peace. Gen. Carranza's proclamation was promptly laid before President Wilson. State department officials would not discuss it. The document recites the history of the revolution beginning witia the -Madero uprising and what is termed the economic and social inequality of the colonial epoch. The length of the revolution, it asB serts, is due to attempts at compromises with the elements of the old regime at Ciudad Juarez. President Madero's failure the document attribtes to the opposition from Orozoco, Reyes and Felix Diaz of the old regime and Zapata, instigated bv their adherents. Gren. Huerta. it contends, consummated the movement "witfii the cooperation of "a group of foreigners favored by the old -egime, who surrounded Henry Lane Wilson," former American ambassador to Mexico, and under the pretext **2r?VV3S&.

ThA ctatpm^nt. explains that as gov ernor of the State of Coahuila, Gen. i Carranza assumed the presidency of; toe republic in accordance with the, constitution, which by its own terms i "will not lose its force and vigor, j even though, through some rebellion, j its observance is interrupted." Tie schism of Villa and his follow-i ers, which later occurred, the state-i ment attributes to the further intrigue of the old regime. Although it was thought the constitutionalist element fcad lost the support of the people when they with- j drew from Mexico City, the statement j asserts, in fact it now has control of! over seven-eights of the national territory. Opposition to tne Carranza forces, it is asserted, is day by day decreasing and the offensive of the enemy is limited to acts of brigandage. In a short time occupation of 'Mexico City is assured, it is stated, when harmonious government will be secured in all States and territories based on; welfare and justice. miA WOULD WORK FOR COMMON CAUSE Says He is Anxious to Invite 3iew' Union of all Mexicans on Liberal Basis. El Paso, Texas, June 12.?Gen. Villa in a note to President Wilson, expresses willingness "to invite a new union of all Mexicans to work together to insure the triumpu of the revolutionary principles, especially the agrarian problem and the extension of instruction among the poorer classes." The Villa note charges that "false ideas, for mercenary purposes, diffused by those who sought to retain power indefinitely without laws, reduced as to the most outrageous anarchy in the capital;" t;bat it was "tJ':e -? - - r* T iacK 01 a sense 01 responsiuimy uy Senor Carranza that brought us to strained relations with countries friendly to us." The note reviews the request of the chiefs of the division of the north i and different army corps, backed by a great portion of the civil population, that the first cfcief of the constitutionalists act as president ad interim, open courts and call a general election to organize a constitutionalist civil government. It declares that instead a military convention was convoked and reviews the Aguascalients convention and subseauent events. "We beiieved this system of government would ruin our country," says the note, "and insisted that constitutionalists forms be made by a congress elected by the people." Villa declares be denied the au- ( thority ol Carranza because the latter j prevented fulfillment of the revolu-. tionary program?"the restoration j of o.ir supreme law." He asserts tnat b oJt ii I utcLieu *1. icauu; \ un . .* | tier Lis control, quoting nom tne re-: port of Duval West to attest it. iVilla maintains that in the midst of an active military campaign his civil J government has developed instruction of the poor, reorganized courts of jus- j tice, reformed mining laws, enacted laws for the minting of money, draft-. -ed a measure for agrarian laws and laws for the exploitation of natural resources and restored railroad ser-' vice. <3=" MI CH LESS TEXSIOS FELT IS WASHIJiGTOS i General Relaxation of Strain Over United States' Relations With - j Germany. I "Washington, June 12.?Official an-! nouncement of the delivery of the American note to Germany, reiterating insistence that submarine war-' fare conform to rules of humanity: and international law. was received today from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin. Tie message came at the close of a cay marked by a more optimistic feel-1 ing in official quarters that the German answer would forestall any pos- j sibility of war between the two nations and also avoid a breach of ?ip- j lomatic relations.

President Wilson spent! part of the day at golf and let it be known that later in the month he' planned to take a short vacation at | Cornish. No answer to the American rejoinder is expected for ten days at least. Former Secretary Bryan, wr:o resigned rather than sign the second note to Germany, issued another statement today declaring that the note was materially changed after the pre- j 4-** ^ f V* ? e- TiAoiO,r?OtlAn Tl-? y\ ' senLatiuii yji UXB i^s^guauvu. iuc i vision, Mr. Bryan aiverred, softened the note, hut was not sufficient to justify him in withdrawing his resignation. Changed at Last "It is true," said Mr. Bryan, "that! I saw tf:e final draft of the note just; before my resignation took effect, but; it contained an important change. I; had no knowledge of this change at' the time my resignation was tendered and accepted. i "The change, while very much' softening the note, was not, however, > sufficient, in my judgment, to justify j me in asking permission to withdraw . my resignation. As Germany has suggested arbitration, 1 felt that we j could not do less than reply to this offer by expressing a willingness to apply the principle of the peace,, treaties to the case." "What was the change in the note?", Mr. Bryan was asked. "I can not discuss that," he replied. The Possible Addition. It was suggested that the clause added to the note was that saying the United States would entertain any evidence Germany might Lave that ' American officials fead not thoroughly j performed their duty in examining the j Lusitania before her departure to see that she was not arm id for offensive J action. Mr. Bryan only smiled at the suggestion. 'Secretary Lansing also declined to! discuss changes made in the note.! tie clause referred to follows: "If the imperial German govern-i: ment should deem itself to be in pos-( session of convincing evidence that j tf:e officials of the government of the United States did not perform the i duties with thoroughness, the government of the United States sincerely hopes that it will submit that evidence for consideration." "In respect of whether that clause was inserted or not," Mr. Bryan was asked, "does it not open the way for further negotiations with Germany?" "I can only reiterate what I fcave said, that the note was softened," Mr. Bryan replied, "but not sufficiently to justify me in asking permission to withdraw my resignation." Why He Resigned. In ibis statement tonight Mr. Bryan replied to published charges of inconsistency because he signed the first note after the Lusitania disaster and refused to sign the second. "The note," he said, "must be considered in connection witfn the condi tions under which they were sent. The first note presented the case of this 1 government upon such evidence as we! then had. It was like the plaintiff's statement in a case, his claim being based upon the facts as he presents them. I did not agree entirely with the languauge of fJ*:e first note but the differences were not so material as to justify a refusal to sign it. Then, too, I was at that time hoping that certain thing9 would be done which would make it easier for Germany to ac quiesce In our demands." Mr. Bryan then repeats in ihis state I ment tie three things he has emphasized in is proposal, namely that the United States should offer to employ the principle o: investigation embodied in 30 treaties with other nations, take action w .ich would prevent American citizens from traveling on belligerent ships or American ships' carrying contraband, and that this government should pretest against inteferenence with American trade with neutrals. Wouldn't Hike Chance. "No one will be happier than I," j said 'Air. Bryan, "if t).e president's; n^n results in a Deaceful solution, but! no one was in a position to say what j effect our note would have upon Ger-; many or what results would follow if she in anger broke off diplomatic re- j lations, and I was not only unwilling to assume responsibility for the risks incurred?risks wibich no one could with any degree of accuracy measure ?but I felt that, having done all I could in the cabinet, it was my duty to undertake, outside the cabinet, the duty upon which I have entered. 1 j Lave no doubt that the country will j unanimously support the president during the war, if so great a misfor- ' tune should overtake us, but I be- j lieve that t'ne chances o? war will be I lessened in proportion as the country ! expresses itself in favor of peace? ! not 'peace at any price'?but peace in , preference to a war for the redress : of such grievances as we have against i Germany?at least against war until ! we have given Germany the oppor- j tunity which we are pledged to give 1 Great Britain, France and Russia? , to have every difference of every char- ! acter submitted to an international commission of investigation." Mr. and Mrs. Bryan left tonigfct for Old Point Comfort to remain until Tuesday, after which lie expects to announce his plans for tlbe Immediate future. GOOD IMPRESSION MADE IK BERLIN Communication Believed to Open Way For More Negotiations and Possible Settlement Berlin, (via London,) June 12.?The text of the American note was published today in the Berlin afternoon newspapers. Definite statements as to the attitude of the German government with respect to the note are not yet available, but In circles! whici:, while themselves not officially! responsible, are often good barometers' of the sentiment in responsible quarters, the note seems to have made a distinctly favorable impression and is believed to offer the possibility of negotiations which satisfactory settlement might be reached. The conciliatory tone of the note apparently has evoked a responsive attitude Sere. Individuals who in earlier stages of the negotiations displayed stiff-necked adherence to ti':eir own views, which made discussion almost impossible, are now willing to talk of compromise in which the compromise would rot be all on one side. The official viewpoint probably can be correctly appraised only after conferences of the imperial chancellor. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg; the foreign secretary, Herr von Jagow, and] representatives of the army and admiralty, the naval and general staff. The emperor, it is believed, will speak tie final word. It is understood that tf-ese conferences will begin immediately. The answer will certainly not be drafted and the lines of the German policy | probably will not be definitely decided upon before Br. Anton MayerGerhard, the special envoy from ! Count von Bernstorff, the German i ambassador at Washington, has ar- j [ rived and made his report. "R/vOi +V10.
