It. is ?generally believe here that Carranza will iico-pt th ?greemrnt in the form presented b Secretary Lansing, though it 11 ad mitted that its terms ure not nearlv s Sesa**>rehensive as Carranza desired. It i? understood h?r?? that Carran*. wa? contending chiefly for the right T pun 1 politic,.! refugees int th?- United States, and that the limita tiens placed on hi? enjoyment of th right To cross the line will prov? di* tastef .1.

There Ii little doubt us to Carranza's present position, but it is pointed out thai popular antagonism to the America? troops may force h:m to take up urm? ?c?in-t them or ret gn. it is feared also that, oven if < arranr.a is able tc maintain bis government during the American operation?, his troops in con? tact with Villa and the American force* are likely to join with the VillUtas and swell the rebel army far beyond Its present proportions. War Spectre Not Imposed Of. Secretar?.- Lansing's "'a'r-Trifnt to? day declared that "the military ?pera tions now in contemplation by this government trill be scrupulously con? fined to the object already announced, and that in no circumstances will they he suffered to trench in any degree upon the sovereignty of Mexico or de? velop into intervention of any kind in the internal affairs of our sister re? public." This statement, even when construed literally, doe.? not definitely dispose of the fear of war with Mexico. "Inter? vention in the internal n:T;.ir-*" of Mel ico as understood here would entail a campaign to ?et up or protect a gov? ernment there. I nder no conditions, as Secretary Lansing ?ay?, will tl Is be done. The Secretary doe? r.ot say that if hostility in met with from Carranza or the Mexican government the forces will be withdrawn. I.lallnn In Mexican Embassy. Officials at the Mexican Embassy here were? jubilant over the acceptance of I'arranr.h'g proposai by th? t'tiited States. The ambassador ttesignate, Kliseo Arredondo, withheld comment pending edvices from hit chief, nut other official? made no BSCTOl of their entire BStlsfaetion with the American note. It was transmitted promptly 1 '?riera! ' arranza. Some official* ?a: ?bar while a few extreme radien i among Carranza'? adherent? might ?ho I opposition to tha agreement, this el? meat would not b?
