COMPILED FOR BUSY READERS
Washington, D. C. — When the
American members of the Mexican-
American joint commission had finish­
ed consideration Tuesday of General
Carranza’s reply failing to comply
with their demand that the protocol
providing for withdrawal of the Amer­
ican troops from Mexico be ratified,
there were indications that efforts to
enter into an agreement with the de
facto government through the commis­
sion would be abandoned.
For the first time an official admis­
sion was made that Carranza had re­
fused to sign the protocol. The com­
missioners said they expected to draft
their response to Carranza immediate-
ly.
Failure of the commission to give to
Mexican-American relations a bright
aspect was offset somewhat by official
intimations that Henry P. Fletcher,
confirmed as ambassador to Mexico al­
most a year ago, was about to start
for his post, where American interests
now are represented by a clerk. The
report that General Pershing’s expedi­
tion soon would be withdrawn, regard­
less of Carranza’s attitude, also gained
fresh impetus, and it was understood
the administration had this move un­
der serious consideration.
Mr. Fletcher conferred with Presi­
dent Wilson after Wednesday’s cabi­
net meeting, and later referred in­
quiries as to whether he would go to
Mexico to President Wilson and Secre­
tary Lansing.
No statement was
forthcoming from the White House or
the State department.
