June Z. I. N. S.) ".Tresldent Wilson, for the government end people of the United States, te ' day served warning on the leaders of ' warring' factions In Mexico to "act together promptly for the relief and redemption of their prostrate country" or the United States would be "con-"- strained to decide upon a means to be . employed In order to help Mexico to save herself and serve her people."' Te president's message to Mexico was short and to the point. First he v suggests support of any Muxlcan leader or group which would have areason--.able chance to pacify,' the country,. but that the determination , to nd anarchy - in Mexicd' w'as final was plainly 'seen . In another" portion of the "statement t wberelt : was broadly intimated that . .American arms, If necessary, would be called Into play to save the Mexican ' people. " .-. . - ' President , Wilson's statement was addressed to the Mexican people but , .copies of it will be sent to the leaders nt all factions in Mexico for their in- formation and guidance. Officials of . the -state department win. te cnargea with, the duty of its dessimtnatton tn Mexico. ., . Wfefei? The'' preelden fa statement la full . read a follows; 'f - ; " ---.:s:t:: ." - "For more than twtr years "tevolu- .tionary. conditions have existed -in leico. The purpose of the revolution was to yld Mexico of men who ignored the, constitution of the republic in contempt Of , the rights of its people. ; With .these purposes the president of - the United States has Instinc ytvely and generously sympathised., But the lead ers of the revolution, in the very hour of their troubles, have disagreed and turned their arms against one another. : With: all, professing, the sanfi object. they are nevertheless unwilling to co- ' "operate A central authority at Mexico City is no sooner set, up than it is ' undermined and its authority . denied by those who were expected to sup port It. Mexico Is apparently no nearer 'a solution of her tragic trouble thau '.. she was when "the revolution was first kindled. And she has been swept by . civil wan as 1 by a general and devas tating fire. V Citizens Are Unprotected. " -"tier crops are destroyed, her fields lie -unseeded, her work cattle are con fiscated for -the use-of armed factions, her . people flee to the mountains to escape ': being drawn into unavailing ' bloodshed, and no man seems to see or lead the way to peace and settled order, r There is no proper protection "either for -her own citizens or for the citlsena of other nations resident and at work within her territory. Mexico is starving, and without a , govern ment. " 4 - , i " "In these circumstances the presi dent and the government of the United : States cannot stand indifferently ; by and do nothing to serve their neigh bor. They want nothing , for them selves in Mexico. Least of all do they . desire to settle her affaira for her or claim any right to do so. But neither ' do f 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. or to use any instrumentality which" promises to be . effective in bringing about some set tlement which will embody the real ' objects of ? the . revolution -constitu- ' tional government and the rights of the people. - Oseet Cry for Feaee. - "Iatriotlc Mexicansi are sick at heart-and cry. out for 'peace, and for - every sacrifice that may be necessary to procure It,; Her people- cry out for - food and will presently hate as much as they fear every man, in their coun try or out of It.; who stands between 1 them and their dally bread. - -v It is time,: therefore, that the gov ' eminent of the United States should frankly state a policy which in these extraordinary circumstances it becomes ;.. Its duty toadopt. It ; must presently do what thas : not hitherto done or , felf at liberty to do lend Its -active or moral support to some man or ' group of men. if such may be found, who can rally' the sovereign people of 1 'Mexico to- their support in an effort to ignore, if they cannot unite, the warring- factions of .the country and : returttxto- the" constitution of the re- public, so longin .abeyance, and-there by -sei. up a,.; government at, Mexico City; which the great powers : of ; the world can recognize and deal with; a government with whom the program ; of the : revolution will he a business and not' merely a platform. -. . "I,- therefore, publicly and very sol emnly call upon the leaders of the , factions 1n Mexico tcact promptly for the relief and redemption of that pros- .;, trate country.

VON BERNSTORFF HAS WITH THE PRESIDENT No Inkling of Nature of In terview Is Given Out by Either Party. Washington, June 3 (X. W. 8.) Secretary Bryaa admitted this after no a that the state department was in possession of affidavits to the effect taat the Ziusitanla was armed. Bryan claimed that he had not as yet given the affidavits 'his attention. 1 By John Edwin Nerin, Washington,. June - 2. (U. P.) President Wilson and Ambassador von Bernstorff, the - German envoy, were in conference for 30 minutes at the White House .todst:.?i;;,;i.;V4.v'. ji-y. No statement was issued at thrcm- p!usion--of 'the' eoftfrerfee -and secret service men prevented anyone- from approaching- - the ambassador as he was departing. - Nevertheless, -it was possible to aK him- for- a statement, to which 'request Von Bernstorff re sponded by shaking his head. It is'belleved that Ambassador von Bernstorff, told the president sub stantially: that: - . . . Germany , is ready to do-everything required toward reparation wherever it 'is -shown there has been infringe ment of American rights; But," that there must be an under standing between' tiiei two nations re garding the conduct of - unarmed neutral-vessels and that, based upon such understanding, they can be fully pro tected in keeping -with the terms of The Hague conyention. Regarding the Lusitania, the ambas sador is believed to have told the pres ident Germany has reason to believe in the soundness of her position re garding the vessel's defiance of rules of international warfare and 'violation of the American statyte as to carry ins explosives "but that this presents no insurmountable obstacle, provided a clear understanding can be reached on the principles involved. , The most sanguine observers did not expect Von Bernstorff to indicate Ger many's willingness to abandon her submarine warfare, unless the United States was in a position to compel Eng land to abandon her "starvation pol icy," 'or unless England would do so without compulsion ."by the neutral powers, whose rlghts iare violated? by the British order In council. The effect of Ambassador von Bern storff a" representations upon Presi dent Wilson, could mot be judged. But it, was surmised that if the ambassador presented any ideas for making Ger many's acquiescence to ' the American demands easier, r the ; president might adopt - them . In his '.rejoinder, now " in course of, preparation.- Two minutes before- Von Bernstorff left the. White House, Ambassador CeU lere of Italy arrived to- see President Wilson. Attendants maneuvered the Italian envoy -about 4ri lively, ashlon In order to prevent a meeting between him and the t representative of his enemy country, tv '- ' American liners HigSmarines Stewardess Jamps Off .
