WD Departments Told to Hold Forces Ready for Mexican Service at Moment's Notice Other Powers Weary of Disorder and Demand United States Do Something John Lind Planning Last Effort to Deal With H uerta President Wilson Will Recognize Neither Huerta Nor His Lieutenant, Blanquet. UNITED PBSSS LSiSBD WIRI. Washington, Oct. 30. All indications were today that the United States will be fighting for peace in Mexico within a few more days. President Wilson ordered both army and navy departments to hold their forces ready for Mexican service at a moment's notice. The president would prefer recogniz ing General Oarranza, the Mexican reb el leader, and letting the Mexicans fight out their diffoveuoes between themselves. Other powers are weary of disorders in Mexico, however, think the United States can stop them more quickly than C'arranza and probably ' will bring strongor pressure to bear than the pros idont can resist. Draft of Policy Beady. ' The president had completed a draft of his new Mexican policy today, but did not intend to submit it to the cabi not until next week. Ho delayed bocause he wished to see what the new Mexican congress will do when it moots Saturday. It was bolieved the Mexican congress will declare votes cast for Huerta void, since the constitution does not permit him to Biiccoed himself, and declare General Blanquet president. If this development occurs Prosidout Wilsou will announce that he will rec ognizo neither Huerta nor his lieuten ants, of whom Blanquet is one, and out line a policy which it was bcliovod to day would moan American intervention. It wns understood on all bauds that, though America may intervene in Mex ico, it will withdraw as soon as order has been restored. Lind Makes Final Effort.

Pointing out the hopeless ness of his position, he intended to ask the dictator to agree to an armistice with, the rebels and an honest election under some other provisional president, if the factions can agree on one, or un der American supervision if they can not. He had small hope that Huerta would agree. The powers showed signs of impati ence at waiting for America even until next week, but reluctantly "kept bauds off." Foreign diplomats in Mexico City wore "at outs " with one another con cerning their various Mexican policies, and all joined in complaining that Sir Lionel Cardon, British miuistor, is too closo to Huerta.
