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. Carranza is warned that the United States has viewed with deep concern the growing complaints made by foreigners wnnrallv aralnat Mb Administration of affairs and now In effect, demands an early change. The contents of the communication were revealed to several Ambassadors and several Ministers here who expressed satisfaction at Its urgent language. Some regarded it as an entire change of the country's policy toward Merloo. American Consul Silllman should have presented the note to Carranza. A copy of it- was sent to the Brazilian Minister at Mexico City to be shown to Geperal Obregon, the Carra&za 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.

VftUUU# ?T UU |IC?OOCU IU 111C House, designed to prevent vessels from leaving American ports with coal and supplies for belligerent warships at sea. The resolution would authorize the President to direct customs collectors to withhold clearance from any vessel of American registry or license which he has reason to ibelleve has any intention to carry such supplies. The resolution was pressed by Democratic Leader Underwood and Republican Leader Mann. It was put through after Mr. Underwood had presented a letter from Robert Lansing, Counsellor of the State Department, saying that the Government had been | hindered by lack of sufficient legislation to prevent vessels from leaving American ports with coal and supplies for warships. "The Department of State heartily supports the proposed resolutions," the letter continued, "and desire to emphasize the great urgency and need of its immediate passage that the Government may not be bound internationally and yet have its hands tied so as to be unable to act in the discharge of its international duties." The resolution, to take effect immediately and to continue while the war lasts, is designed to "prevent violation of the United States neutrality by the use of its territory, its ports or !?< ?An.ltn.UI ? ? -- . 1 lio vvi t iiui 101 ntvici o ao a uaoo vi vy ?rations for the armed forces of a belligerent, contrary to the obligations imposed by the law of Nations."
