Washington-. June 2.--President
Wilson served notion to-day on the
warring leaders In Mexico that they
must compost their differences "within
a very short time" by setting up a
government that the world In con
idencc may recognize or tho United
States will he constrained to take steps
"to help Mexico savo herself and servo
hr people."
There was no direct threat of armed
intervention In the President's decla
ration, but it Is generally recognized
that extreme measures of this charac
ter may ultimately bo necessary to
areomplish the President's purpose.
Mr. Wilson does not Indicate, Just
fihat course ho will follow If the Mexi
can leaders fall or refuse to comply
with his injunction, but It known thut
unless a provisional government Li es
tablished In Mexico within n. reason
able period the I'lilted States will lay
hands on the situation.
The President's new policy toward
Mexico wus to-day communicated to
(!en.. Carranza, Vllln, Zapata and
Garza tliroiiKh American diplomatic
(finals In Mexico. To each of them
was unt u copy of the President's pro
nouncement. It was not forwarded as
i diplomatic note, but merely as u
liatement of views intended to convey
n warning ad to the purpose of the
United States in the event of tho
fan ne of t.ie factional leaders to re
j'.ore i.rdir in Mexico.
Wnll Two Vrrk,
It is understood that the President
wall fur about two weeks to ob
ime the effect of Ills statement on tho
Jlojlcan 1 ndexju. if by that tlmo lhre
tre no evidences of a disposition on
the pa i of the factions to get together
icr t'.e common good of tho country
an tmbirgo will be placed on the. ehlp'
merit of anus to Mexico.
Meantime the Administration will
try to locate a strong group of men to
take hold in Mexico during the period
of reconstruction. It will extend to
men men nil the moral support that
is possible toward setting up a constl
tJtiun.ii government In Mexico city
id if tint character of support falls
to restore older steps of drastic char-aete-
w i! !, taken.

Wasiiinoton, Juno 2. A year ngo the

to Mexican waters to compel some ono
In authority there to salute the colors.
This was done ns a result of nn affront
to the flaw at Tnmplco. Soldiers IlKhthiR
for Huerta arrested Ameilcan sailors
sent ashore from nn American ship, tho
matter was called to the attention of
Contsress and a force despatched to
Mexico to enforce respect for tho Amer
ican emblem.
The expected saluto was not forth
coming. They nro bcirlnnltur to saluto
tho tint; In Mexico now without being
afked to do so. A despatch from Ad
mirul Caperton, in command of tho
American squadron on the east coast of
Mexico, Indicates that Klrst Chief Car

United States. Admiral Capcrton's

The Century Theatre, founded ns tho
New Theatre, later known ns the Con-
tury Opera Uoue nnd operated by tho ;
cw iiieatrc company, In which Otton.no e,i ,10 p.lctCgts during the crisis
II. Kahn nnd others nre Interested, has before Italy's declaration of war, has
liecn leased for live years to the Century Hci from Italy In fear of his life, nc

which Ned Wnyburn Is managing dlrec- I zdtung of ilerlln.
tor. Although no olllclal announcement 'Die paper says that he had learned
has been made. It Is understood that the j of a plot (0 mko fPi
original New Theatre founders nro In-
tcrested In the new company.
It Is planned to turn the Century Thca
tro Into a variety house operated like
the big music hnlls of Kuropc. It will be
known ns the Century Music Hall and
will open early In August with Ned
Wayburn's "Town Topics." The entlro
upper part of the building, at Sixty-second
street nnd Central Park West, will
be altered to accommodate n roof gar
den and outdoor vnudevlllc perform-'
ances. A restaurant, refreshment booths
and bar will be Installed in other parts
of the building.
Ten performances a week will be
given. At times there will Ik- two enter
tainments going on simultaneously, one
on the roof nnd the other on the piivent
stage, which will remain unaltered.
The Lyceum, as now situated In the top
of the building, will be done away with.
I It Is understood that the yearly rental
will not be far from lluO.OOO. The
present building and equipment repre
sent an Investment of about J3.ooo.n00
and ever since the New Theatre Idea
was abandoned It has been practically
a dead weight on tho hands of Its
founders. Tho upkeep of the building
has amounted to several thousund dol
lars a week.
Ono of the various features of the
theatre under Its new management and
policy will be the ItusMan ballet lm-
