PRESIDENT WARNS
AGAINST RUMORS
Formal Statement Issued to
Reiterate That Mexico is
Not Being Invaded.
Washington. President Wilson Is
sued a warning that "sinister and un
scrupulous Influences" are spreading
alarmist reports about the Mexican
situation with the object of forcing
Intervention by the t'nlted States In
the interest of certain American owu
ers of Mexican properties."
In a formal statement the president
told the people of the t'nlted States to
oe on guaru ana not to credit sum
stories He urged those who dlsseni
mate news to test the source and au
thentlclty of every report from the
border, and called attention again to
the government's announcement that
the sole object of the punitive expedl-
tlon now In Mexico was to punish Villa
and his followers.
The news services supplying news
papers had been asked, the president
said, to assist In keeping this view
constantly before the Mexican and the
American people, to the end that the
expedition should not take on tbt color
of war.
The purpose of the American com
manders was described aa embracing
cooperation "In every possible way"
with the forces of General Carransa.
and withdrawal from Mexican terrl
tory as soon as the object of the ex
pedition Is accomplished.
The president solemnly warned Un
people "that there are persons all
along the border who are actively en
gaged In originating and giving aa
wide currency as they can to rumors
of the most sensational and disturb
Ing sort which are wholly unjustified
by the facts."
Official Data Awaited on Sussex Cass.
Official Information on which Presi
dent Wilson will decide whether the
sinking of the Englishman and the
damaging by an explosion of the rhan
nel steamer Sussex were the result of
acta In violation of International law
Is being gathered from every available
source by consular representatives of
the United States In England and in
France.
Information regarding the Sussex,
which had been received, did not. high
offlctsla said, convince them that the
vessel was the victim of submarine
attack.
Should either the Sussex or the Eng
lishman have been torpedoed the Unit
ed States would consider the act to
be a most flagrant violation of the
lights of humanity, the principles of
International law and the broad assur
ances regarding the conduct of sub
marine warfare which have been given
by the Herman government There Is
no evidence, or even a suggestion, that
either of the ships was snned, so no
defense could be offered on that score.
