'Heu- Givea WASHINGTON'. Feb. 17. President . (IVtlson- sent to the Senate today bis . response to"4he Fall resolution adopt ed last -month requesting a report on facts leading up to recognition by the United States of the de facto govern ment of Mexico headed by General Venuatiano Carranza. It was in. the form of a long letter from Secretary Lansing, summarizing the events which v preceded recognition and transmitting a areat volume of data, including list of all Americans killed in Mexico and along the border during the past six years. - The President, through Mr. Lansing, declined to comply. with that part of the Fall resolution' asking? for diplo ma tic and consular reports on political conditions and events in Mexico. The Senate was informed that it was nor compatible vfth public interests to fur nish this, correspondence, inasmuch as it was of a highly confidential nature, and "submitted by consular officers of .the United states and by diplomatic or consular officers of other governments which have graciously consented yiat their officers might supply this Got ernment with information durtngv the necessary absence of American repre sentatives and by other persons resid ing in Mexico." "Reasonable Protection Given. As to the ability f Carranza to ful fill his promises to protect foreign lives and property. Mr. Lansing said that, under the circumstances, the de facto government, which at the time of recognition controlled more than 75 per cent of Mexico's territory, was at fording "reasonably adequate protec tion to the lives and property of Amer lean citizens. . The data disclosed that 76 Amer leans were killed in Mexico in the years 1913. 1914. 1915, as compared with 47- in the three years preceding, and that -0 civilian Americans and 16 soldiers were killed on American soil in the last three yeara as 'a result of Mexican troubles. When the report was received. Sen ator Stone, chairman of the foreign re lations committee, moved that it lie on the table and be printed as a public document. He made no comment on its contents. Senator Fall expressed him self as disappointed because the Pres ident had not included the confidential correspondence. . Early Vote la Expected. The response, to the resolution is expected to stir up a new discussion of the situation in the Senate and to ' bring a vote quickly on the nomination of Henry Prathqr Fletcher as Ambas sador to Mexico. Senator fall Intro duced his resolution when the nomina tion was sent In. , Republican members pf the foreign relations committee held, that the Sen ate should notconsent to sending an Ambassador, to Mexico until It was thoroughly informed as to the charac ter of the government to which he was to be accredited. In view of the report, ,it is probable that the foreign relations 'committee will-pass on Mr. Fletcher's nomination next Wednesday. , 7 x . i ..V: X I fi i1- X" '''iiii i- ... w 14-YARD SKIRT HEM t LAW "AIMEE CROCKER Photo by Bain G OVRAKD-Sf ISHINOFF.
