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.
