Organizations to Knd StriXe Will Be 1'ollowed by United States Deciding on Means to Bring Quiet. WASHINGTON. June S. The text ot the announcement to the American peo ple, in which President Wilson today made known his attitude toward Mex ico, was as follows: -For more than two years revolu tionary conditions have existed in Mex ico. The purpose of the revolution was to rid Mexico of men who ignored the constitution of the republic, and used their power in contempt of the right ot its people, and with these purposes the people of the United States instinctively and generously sympathized. But the leaders of the revolution in the very hour of their success, have disagreed and turned their arms against one another. "All professing the same objects, they are, nevertheless, unable or unwilling to co-operate. A central authority at Mexico City is no sooner set up than it is undermined and its authority de nied by those who were expected to support it. '.Mexico is apparently no nearer a solution of her tragical troubles than she was when the revolution was flrst kindled. And she has been swept by civil war as if by Are. Her crops are destroyed, her fields lie unseeded her work cattle are confiscated for the use of the armed factions, her people flee to the mountains to escape being drawn into unavailing bloodshed and no means seems to see or lead the way to peace and settled order. There is no protec tion either for her own citizens or for the citizens of other nations resident and at work within her territory. Mex ico is starving and without a govern ment. "In these circumstances the people and Government of the United States cannot" stand indifferently by and do nothing to serve their neighbors. They want nothing lot themselves in Mex ico. Least pf all do they desire to set tle her affairs for her, or claim any right to do so. But neither do they wish to see utter ruin come upon her and they deem it their duty as friends and neighbors to lend any aid they properly can to any instrumentality which promises to be effective in bring ing about a settlement which will em body the real objects of the revolution -constitutional government and the rights of the people. 'Patriotic Mexicans are sick at heart and cry out for peace and for every eelf-sacrif ice that may be necessary to procure it. Their people cry out for food and will presently hate as much as they fear every man in their country or out of it who stands between them and their daily bread. - "It is time, therefore, that the Gov ernment of the United States should frankly state the policy which, in these extraordinary circumstances, it ' be comes its duty to adopt. It must presently do what it has not hitherto done or felt at liberty to do, lend its active moral support to some man or group of men, if such may be found, who can rally the suffering people of Mexico to their support in an effort to ignore, if they cannot unite, the war ring factions of the country, return to the constitution of the republic, so lon& in abeyance, and set up a government at Mexico City which the great powers of the world can recognize and deal with, a government with whom the pro gramme of the revolution will be a business and not merely a platform. I therefore publicly and very solemnly call upon the leaders of factions In Mexico to act, to act together and to act promptly, tcr the relet and re dempton of their prostrate country. J feel it to be my duty to tell them that, if they cannot accommodate their dif ferences and unite for this great pur pose within a very short time, this Gov ernment will be constrained to decide what means should be employed by the United States in order to help Mexico save herself and serve her people." YAQCIS BEYOXD AlXi CONTROL Mexicans Curious to Know What Americans Will Do About It. DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 2. So far as Sonora, Mexico, is concerned. President "Wilson's warning to the Mexican chiefs to join in the establishment of peace is rot expected to have much effect, for the reason that the Yaqui Indians are beyond all control and have proclaimed an independent government of their own. hat the United btates will do in their case is a matter of curiosity to Mexican leaders of all factions, who are wholly unable to cope with them. For 30 years prior to the outbreak of the Madero revolt in 1911, Sonora was more or less under military law, owing to the turbulence of the Yaquis, who had been despoiled of their rich lands in the Yaqui Valley on the west coast of Mexico by Pornrio Diaz. These lands have passed rh large areas into the hands of Americans and other foreigners. Revolutionary lead ers of various political affiliations have won temporarily the support of the Yaquis by promises of the restoration of the lands. As fast as they failed to redeem these promises, the Yaquis turned against them. The last man they supported was Jose Maytorena, Gov ernor of Sonora and Villa leader. Lately the Indians rebelled against him, set up an independent nation and declared war on all Mexicans. Z DUEKTA OFFERS SUGGESTION Ex-Dictator Sajs No Party Can Win i That Is Allied With Foreigners. NBW YORK, June 2. General Vic- i torlano Huerta, ex-Provisional Presi i, dent of Mexico, after he had read Presi- dent Wilson's note regarding the situ- X stion in Mexico, today issued the lol lowinjr signed statement: "As a foreigner, enjoying the hos f pitality of a foreign country, I should 5 not criticise nor even discuss state- nients of the Government or officers of the foreign country i live in. uui i 7 may say mis: 7 "Any foreign country that is sincere and honest in its endeavor to help our nation would commit the biggest blun V der by giving its moral support or as ?elstance to any person or faction. n "Such actions, instead of bringing the I results desired, would have the oppo "site effect. "The Mexican nation as a whole will "$ never accept any such party, even if it "would only be suspected that that party t received any help from a foreign coun- rtry. "Our people will never stand for any government inspired by foreigners, no "matter how humanitarian or noble the 'motives of such foreign nations ap pear to be." r :v . -vJ f Iv w fi J y v J jt S -g - " - H ,r 1 ht.

MADERO CABINET REVIVED Vorms of Law to Be Obeyed by Rec ognition of ex-Minister of Jus tice; Xentral Policy of United States Is Now Near End. ( Continued From First Page.) thousands of exiled Mexicans who were driven from their country by the Con stitutionalists expressed their approval of the President's plan but doubted whether the Villa and Carranza and Zapata elements could reach an agree ment. The possibility of another revo lutionary movement to take under its standard the best elements in the Villa and Carranza ranks was widely dis- cussea. Foreign Nations Approve. Foreign nations have been taken into the confidence of the United States and those European diplomats who would express themselves indicated their approval of the change in the Mexican policy of the Administration. In South American circles it was de clared today's statement was a logical development of last year's mediation conference at Niagara Falls, when the United States, together with Argentina, Brazil and Chile, signed a nrotonoi agreeing to recognize the government set up by agreement of the factions. After reading President Wilson's statement, Enrique Llorente, head of the Villa agency here, issued the fol lowing: f "The convention government, of whose military forces General Villa Is commander-in-chief, was created in the very spirit-in which President Wilson's declaration was written, but unfortu nately, many of those who have under taken to support and maintain that government failed in adherence to their pledges. Since then General Villa has on numerous occasions signified a de sire to reach an accord with those who are opposing him, even expressing a willingness to eliminate himself en tirely from the situation should occa sion seem to to demand. Villa's Co-operarloa Promised. "General Villa certainly will give the most serious, attentive and practical consideration to any friendly sugges tion reaching him from President Wil son, whose unselfishness of purpose he well understands and fully appre ciates." Orders tor the American troops along the border to co-ooerate with the Red Cross in getting food supplies to starv ing Mexicans probably will be issued at the War Department this week as a result of a conference late today be tween resident Wilson and Miss Mabel Boardman. Miss Boardman asked that the President direct that facilities be afforded at Army posts for the storing of food supplies collected throughout the country pending their distribution in Mexico. He indicated his purpose to take the question up with Secretary Garrison immediately. Brigadier-General C. A. Ievol, of the quartermaster's department of the Army, who is acting as general man ager of the Red Cross, will proceed south and arrange details with Major General Frederick Funston, commander of the border troops. Food to Be Sent From North. Because of interruption of communi cation between Vera Cruz and Mexico City it is understood efforts will be made to get food to the old capital from the northern border. State Department advices today said there was no communication between Tampico and Panuco, where Villa forces ure operating, and that petro leum companies feared if ' the trans portation were not restored soon the petroleum would overflow the storage tanks and run into the river. Two hun dred Mexican employes of the Standard Oil Company were reported on a strike at Panuco. t Another report 'received today an nounced the issuance of a Villa decree establishing courts of justice in the Villa territory effective May 24. The Carranza agency gave out a cablegram from Vera Crux saying that General Carranza today signed an order allowing1 the introduction of all supplies into Mexico City and that food was be ing furnished on request in every lo cality controlled by Carranza forces.

Below Garfa. fully that the Ambassador's activities are all of his own volition, and there was no evidence tonight that any one in authority puts much faith in the out come, the result of the Ambassador's efforts will be awaited with great in terest. Skepticism- has been growing daily since the German reply was received and the Ambassador's White House conference failed, to offset any of this feeling. During the 20 minutes that the Pres ident and the Ambassador sat face to face in the Blue room there was no consideration of technicalities or of the smaller questions which Germany has endeavored to inject into the situ ation. The President, in a clear, frank man ner, impressed on the Ambassador that the United States is not trifling with Germany and will not permit Germany to trifle. The issue is clear-cut and plain. He Insisted that Germany must meet that issue and that the sooner the answer is made the better pleased this Government will be. Persons who are close to the Am bassador appear to be satisfied that the President made a tremendous im pression upon him. It generally is be lieved In official circles that the most worried man in Washington during the last few weeks has been the German Ambassador, because he has only re cently eome to the realization of the fact that there are in this country no such thing -as "German-Americans" since the National honor has been as sailed. It is believed that at other periods he advised the German government that it would be impossible to induce the United States to go to war, and that he wiU now use the State Department facilities for the purpose of counteract ing this impression. Immediately on leaving: the White House he returned to the embassy and began the prepara tion of a message which will be sent to Berlin without delay. KERWX WAITS EXPECTANTLY Trustworthy Indications of Ameri can Attitude Still Unavailable. BERLIN, via London, June 3. The officials of the government and the general public are waiting expectantly on the American developments in the exchange of notes between Germany and the United States respecting the Lusitania expectancy which is deepened by the fact that no trust worthy, indications regarding the American attitude on the German answer are yet available here. The German Foreign Oftice is unable to communicate with Count von Bernstorff, the Ambassador at Wash ington, except by wireless in plain language, and even thus mode of com munication is uncertain during period when the static conditions of the at mosphere are unfavorable. Reports which reach the newspapers are regarded with suspicion, not only because they come through exclusively British channels, but on account of their contradictory character. In the meantime soma of the more aggressive German newspapers and writers, have launched abusive articles against the United States and President Wilson's policy, but the press and publio gen erally seem desirous of avoiding any thing which might increase the tension between the two governments while the German note is under considera tion. -In this they are acting in complete accord with the Foreign Office, which apparently is sincerely desirous of-pre serving friendly relations with the United States, and deprecates any pub lication which would tend to inflame the feelings either in Germany or America.
