Mexican News Anti-American demonstrations is northern Mexico continue, according to official. advices, particularly in'.the states of Chihuahua, San Luis Potol and Nuevo Leon. Americans are leaving Mexico in st'eadily increasing. numbers. Under the previous instructions, state depart mont agents in Mexico are giving every possible aid. In additqon border agents have been instructed to urge those seeking to return to Mexico to stay on the American side. . The spread of the anti-Americar agitation in Mexico may delay the sending of a reply to General Car ranza's note demanding recall of the - American troops. Creation of an in. ternational commission to discuss all difficulties is known to have been suggested, under existing treaties, and it Is understood the proposal is still before President Wilson.

Such a proposal, it it is made, will serve as a reply to the Mexican note demand Ing withdrawal of the American troops, and may contemplate adjustmbnt of many unsettled differences that for years have caused accumulating em barrassment in the relation of the twc countries.
