President Wilson has instruded Secretary of State Lansing to ioufy Cen. Carranza that the United States is willing to limit the oper ttion of the American expedition in Mexico both as to territory and to irne. A formal communication to this effect is now in course of prepara :ionr From an authoritative source it was learned last night that the Pteh t is wiling that the chase after Villa should be halted where it tow is, and that, if "within a reasoale time," and within the territory where the American forces are now operating, the bandit leader is not aught, the troops shall be withdrawn to the'A ccan side of the loneary. By these concessions, it is stated, the President and his adviuers ave to get around the awkward situation threatened by Carranza's mggestion that arrangements should be made for withdrawing the cops now. nzaredteto. te cAntinue Preset. ttUe: In the mea.time. and Pding car mana. respnse lo thee ofers, the J"ea M..
