i 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. 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. '

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
