MPHATIC NOTE SENT TO CAR.
RANZA DEMANDING PROTECTION
TO FOREIGNERS.
CONDITIONS REACH CRISIS
I* Admitted By Washington Authorities
That Situation is Most Serious
it Has Been at Any Time.
Washington.?General Carranza has
been informed in a note from the
United States Government that unless
there is an improvement in conditions
with respect to foreigners and
their interests in Mexican territory
under his control, such steps as may
be necessary will be taken by the
American Government to obtain the
desired protection. The note is the
strongest and most emphatic document
that has been sent by the Washington
Government to Mexico since
the correspondence with Huerta a year
ago. Uarranza is warned that the
United States has viewed with deep
concern the growing complaints made
by foreigners generally against his
Administration of affairs and now in
effect, demands an early change.

dors and several Ministers here who
expressed satisfaction at its urgent
language. Some regarded it as an
entire change of the country's policy
toward Mexico.
American Consul Silliman should
have presented the note to Carranza.
A copy of it was sent to the Brazilian
Minister at Mexico City to be
shown to General Obregon, the Carraaza
commander. In the meantime,
some movements of American warships
have been ordered the effect of
which will be a naval demonstration
that some officials hope will convince
General Carranza of the determination
of the American Government to
obtain a change in conditions in Mexico
City.
After a conference between President
Wilson and Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, It was learned on high
authority that two or more attlesliips

C Washington.?A resolution drafted

? State Department was passed in the
i House, designed to prevent vessels

The resolution would authorize the

t to withhold clearance from any vessel
i- of American registry or license which
e he has reason to ibelieve has any in?
tention to carry such supplies.
The resolution was pressed by
>- Democratic leader Underwood and
4 Republican leader Mann. It was put
>f through after Mr. Underwood had presented
a letter from Robert Lansing,
Counsellor of the State Department,
r- saying that the Government had been
r- hindered by lack of sufficient legislate
tion to prevent vessels from leaving
American ports with coal and supplies
n for warships. "The Department ot
d State heartily supports the proposed
o resolutions," the letter continued,
it "and desire to emphasize the great
urgency and need of its immediate
passage that the Government may not
il- be bound internationally and yet have
u- its hands tied so as to be unable to act
o in the discharge of its international
ts duties."
s, The resolution, to take efTect 1m
