Washington. Dee. t$. That this gov
ernment is about to relax its position iu
the Mexican situation and even may
make some concessions to General Car
ranza, including withdrawal of the
Pershing column was the growing belief
in official circles here today.
Prom congressional circles in close
touch with President Wilson- and Sec
retary Lansing, the suggestion came
this afternoon that when Pershing's
ding to the Kxchangc Telegraph , ""u,u" " w "imarawn it woum
r. . .. 7" . . ' lor whatever res-aril ess of the nrotoeol
situation.
Army men, upon !cing informed of
this, said there in no military reason
for keeping Pershing where he is.
The American government today
fouud itself in a diplomatic quandary
over Mexican matters.
It had to decide whether to stay by
jits guns and tell Carranza that the Am
! erican-Mexican peace commission is
ended, in view of his failure to sign the
1 the trooP withdrawal protocol, or whether to
! reiax rrom a recently mm position anil
'yield to his further importunite appeal
for modification of the agreement.
The last word before he answered dc
jniands for signing was substantially
this:
"We have put in three months fram
ing this protocal. It represents our best
efforts. We cannot alter it. You must
: unswer by December 2i."
In substance, Carranza has failed
wholly to live up to these demands. His
'answer is so framed that its words are
i intended to mollify the American gov
: eminent and it 8ppeals for a little more
j change.
The American members of the Amer
i ic an-Mexican joint commission will
J meet Tuesday morning in the office of
Secretary Lane in Washington, Lane
! announced today- Then there wi'l be a
I joint session at which their answer will
! be presented and if the temper of the
j American side has not cooled, the ans
wer, some here believe, will be "we
:are done with peace negotiations."
Officials handling

dondo lingers in town, apparently influ
enced in not taking his scheduled de
parture because he did not want it to
apepar that his leave-taking was linked
with Carranza's failure to comply with
the American demands.
The linking of the two would tend to
take a belligerent tone, whereas, Car

desirous really of having the American
expedition stay in Mexico while Yilla is
active.

EJ Paso, Texas. Dee. After levy

city, Yilla has evacuated Torreon and
is now on the march toward Saltillo,
according to reports given out by Car

Coaania metropolis has been re occupied
by government troops under (Seneral

While in Torreon, Yilla was careful
not to harm any foreigners or their

notes themselves and the subsequent ex
planations, it is said briefly that it is
now wholly up to Germany whether this
government will remain neutral or cast
its lot with the allies.
Whether there be secret diplomacy or
not, there is frankly and admittedly
the deepest kind of secrecy over devel
opments at this stage. Both Secretary
of State Lansing and Piesident Wilson
have agreed between themselves not
to talk peace matters at least not the
portions thereof that w ill be in any way
embarrassing to them from an adminis
tration standpoint.
The state department has let it be
known officially that thus far it has
received no secret terms from Germany,
but it has laid down the rule of not
saying "yes" or "no" to queries on
that subject hereafter. This led to the
belief that this government may expect
just such terms.
It was frankly admitted in adminis
tration circles today that there would
be for the time being, at least, a right
about face iu the matter of "secret
councils. ' '
It is the administration's view, how
ever, that the government ' ' should be
willing to bear criticism for its course
in the hope that results will justify the
policy."
On May 27 last the president, address
ing the League to Enforce Peace, de
clared the present war would have come
"only out ef secret counsels." The
great lesson the struggle has taught,"
he added, "is that the peace of the
world must henceforth depend upon a
new and more wholesome diplomacy. "
To this end he has determined thntj
when peace does come the terms, future
guarantee, etc . shall be guided by, or
at least imparted in full to neutral coun
tries. To that extent, "open air diplo
macy" will be insisted upon.
But apparently no such ligid rule will
be followed in negotiations of this gov
ernment while starting the ball rolling
toward peace.
The administration, at ths time at
least, feels that, "international policies
are to a considerable extent, under the
surface."
For this reason it holds that attimes
"it would be inadvisable to disclose
certain knowledge or to give every
cause whv certain policies mav be adopt
ed," officials declared.
