Carranza's proposal to adjust all pending differences between the two governments by direct diplomatic negotia- j tions. (Mr. Arredondo was informed pf the j impriran government's attitude in a | conversation today with Secretary Lansing after the latter had conferred with President Wilson. Later a formal note will confirm the ambassador's report. Immediately after the cabinet meeting tomorrow Secretary Lansing plans to leave for a month's vacation. Counselor Polk will administer the offoirc nf ?-he state department in his absence and meet iMr. Arredondo in the informal discussions at which a solution of the Mexican problems , will be sought. Chance for Adjustment, It was evident at the state department today that officials believe an opportunity now has been presented out of which may come a means of giving the de facto government ma terfial aid in restoring order through out Mexico. It is known that the! pacific nature of the Mexican note which brought the crisis between the governments to an end is construed here as indicating that Gen. Carranza, besides being impressed by American military preparations, has been deeply influenced by friends in the United States, by European diplomats in: Mexico City, and particularly by rep-> resentatives of many of the Latin-, American powers. While the imn. uiate purpose of the negotiations in which Secretary Lan-1 sing's note is to be the first step will *fce the evolution of some plan for tranquilizing the border regions, the discussions may take on a wider scope. There is little doubt that Mr. Arredondo received the impression * ^ t ?+Viof ii*! xrom ?ecreiary iiausiug wuaj inadequate guarantees as to the security of American and other foreign interests in Mexico could "be secured, the Washington government believes 1 it. possible that the financial aid so .greatly needed by the de facto au-i ihorities could be found. Has >'o Honey Now. .'Some time ago, it is understood, a j suggestion that the Washington gov- f: crnment would encourage American ."bankers to go to the rescue of the de facto government was made through indirect channels. At that time Gen. Carranza had not felt the pinch of poverty which now threatens his government with collapse. He rejected j: the suggestion, as he believed he j COU1U njSLUIC liuaui^iai siaumiji m bu out foreign aid and was understood to have been actuated by a desire to leave himself free of any obligations I in this regard. Events clearly have proved the failure of the first chief's hope to re-establish orderly government unaided, o3icials here believe, and with the war abroad shutting off every other .11 !-i i.. i_ <-1, W? source 01 assistance, ue is muugui now to be ready to mate proper guarantees to secure American capital. \ Counselor Polk conferred late to-day with Henry P. Fletcher, designated to be ambassador to 'Mexico, and Paul M. Warburg of the federal re : serve board. The object of the meeting was not disclosed but great significance was attached to it as indicating that the state department had iouna 11 convenient just at mis time to inquire as to the probable attitude of American bankers and as to the 'disposition of the federal reserve board itself toward lending such aid as might be in its power to the Mexican government. i Kept a Secret No statement could be obtained as to the nature of the financial project that may be in contemplation. Mr. Warburg's advice probably would be . sought even if the federal reserve Aboard was in no way involved. Secretary Lansing would not discuss the terms of the note he will forward to the de facto government apjproring the suggestion for direct dipT". rrmor i n n o firm c Tf 4e haliovoH (AV I,I iivfjv/viuuvuo. x w wv?*v? vuj however, that it will lay great stress i upon the friendly purposes of the ^United States and intimate that any i plan of action that may be suggested, which will insure the security of the American border, will find ready ac-. ceptance in 'W&shington. Gen. Carranza's note pointed out that the "reasonable" anxiety of the United States for the safety of its frontier on the one hand, and the feeling of the de facto government on [he other iiiat tne presence of Ameri-1! tail iroC'p> in Mexico increases i.ioj auses oi friction. were the q iestioiis ! ( to be settled. It appeared probable tonig'it that. | Secretary Lansing's replv would make j an equally clear definition of the is-11 sue as it is seen by the Washington ; government, thus giving a guide to ( the negotiations for their informal ( discussion of all the elements involv- 1 ei. To Wait New Orders. ? - - _ i x i. u ~ Mr. lirreaonao saia lumgui ue would await ne>v orders from Mexico ? City before undertaking the proposed 1 negotiations. He added that he did i expect to leave the question of ar- 1 ranging credit for his government to < Dr. Alfredo Caturegli, Gen. Carrana's 1 financial agent at New ork. It is be- < lieved here that the question of con- i siructive measures to stabilize the < Mexican government will come up be- J fore the conversations have progress- 1 ed very far. The Washington administration is understood to be as firmly convinced as ever that the only proper and efficient cure for the distressing condition of its southern neighbor must be found within that country, not through intervention. At the same time a cure for the lawless con- 3 ditions in the border 'States must be found before the United States can ' feel justified in abating in any de- 1 gree its preparations to protect its frontier by force of arms. There is no question that the Mexican government will contend force- 1 fully for the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. Since the pur- * pose to compel tTieir withdrawal has ~Vi/Ntct/NTTAV* aAR la uytsn. auauuuucu, uw n c?ci, uuiviata do not look for another deadlock on that issue. President Wilson is said to he ready to order the troops out promptly when he has any assurance that it will not mean merely a re- 1 newal of the conditions that caused J them to be sent in. But no plan of J action now agreed upon can be based upon an agreement to withdraw them. Mobilization of the 'National Guard * i continued to go forward today and - the State soldiers are certain to get ^ valuable experience upon the border before they are released from the ( federal service. Just how long that c will be can not be predicted with ac- 1 curacy. Events in Mexico will determine that.. Publication today of Secretary c Baker's order that members of the ^ National Guard with dependent fam- r ilies be discharged from the service m was the first sign at the war department that, tension on the border had relaxed. It is regarded as making' r unnecessary any legislation on the! t subject of relief for soldiers' families. Further reports of the return of s American refugees from -Mexico p reached all government departments. State department officials anticipated - tnat many now wouia aesire to go back at once. Every effort to dissuade them will be made. d mm* f I] $> <? y S> CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE <? b $> \ ?> 0 The following is the schedule of the itinerary, opening at SpartanDurg ^ and closing at Winnsboro on Au- c Barnwell, Tuesday, July 18. v Hampton, Wednesday, July 19. b Beaufort, Thursday, July 20. j Ridgeland, Friday, July 21.
