Don': Miss the Treat ' I mm** Wffiico 1 PLAIN AND CIVIL Those Who Expected to be Called to War Lost Heart INTENTION DOUBTFUL BUT CONCILIATORY I i I Xast Week's Happenings Made It Plain War May Not ' Occur. 'JF ? By the latter part of last week those who had been hoping to get into the war, evidently lost heart, because the news dispatches showed that Carranza wanted to make up with the United States as shown by the tone of his reply to the sharp note ;scnt him by this country. The reply of the de facto government of Mexico to the demands of the United States, conciliatory in terms and giving assurances of a desire to reach a friendiy adjustment of the 'difficulties between the two countries, Was delivered to the State department last week by a Mexican embassy attache. The text of the note follows: "Washington, D. C., July 4, 1916. "Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to transmit in continuation the text of a note I have just received from my government with instructions to present it to your excellency: d < M ?? QA/?v*nf t U A?iMt w 4/v 4k/* AUl, kJT-VH UU%Y , IVt'lCI 1 111^ LU lilC I notes of June 20 and 25 last, I have the honor to suy to your excellency that the immediate release of the Carriaal ? prisoners was a further proof of the sincerity o.f. the dseircs of this government to reach a pacific and satisfactory arrangement of present difficulties. This government is anxious to solve the present conflict and it would be unjust if its attitude were misinterpreted. Mexican Suggestion. " 'It was also the Mexican government that earnestly suggested a plan for cantonments along the boundary line during the conferences of Ciudad Juarez and El Paso. This government is disposed now, as it has always been, to seek an immediate.solution of the two points which constitute the true causes of conflict be tween the two countries, to wit: The American government believes reasonably that the insecurity of its frontier is a source of difficulty and the Mexican government on k? pari believes that the stay of America! troops on Mexican territory, aside from being a trespass on the sovereignty of Mexico, is the immediate cause of the conflicts. Therefore, the withdrawal of American troops, on one hand, and the protection of the frontier, on the other, are the two essential problems, the solution of which must be the directing object of the efforts of both governments. Will Consider Methods. " 'The Mexican government is willing to consider in a quick and practical way and prompted by a spirit of concord the remedies which should bo applied to the present situation. 44 'Several Latin-American countries have offered their friendly mediation to the Mexican government and the latter has accepted it in principle. Therefore, the Mexican government only awaits information that the j government of the United States; would be disposed to accept this mediation for the purpose mentioned above or whether above or whether it is still of the belief that the same results may be attained by means of direct negotiations between both governments. To Avoid Complications. " 'In the meantime this government purposes to employ all efforts that may be at Its disposal to avoid the recurrence of new incidents which may complicate and aggravate the situation. At the same time it hopes that the American government, on its part, may make use of all efforts to prevent also new acts of its military anil civil authorities on the frontier that( might fca^se,,pew complications.
