President Wilson Takes
Up Plan for Mediation
WASHINGTON, April 25.--The President has ac
cepted the offer of mediation by Brazil, Chile and Ar
gentina.
The proposals for mediation are being formulated
by the Brazilian, Chilean and Argentine Ministers here.
They will have to be submitted to Huerta for his ac
ceptance.
There is nething in Washington to indicate whether
~ he will accept, and his action will hinge on the nature of
~ the proposal. Nothing has been given out as to the
probable attitude of Carranza and Villa on the mediation
plan.
The first bluff judgment of many Washington offi
cials is that the mediation plan will be a failure in view
of the chaotic conditions in Mexico and the inability of
Huerta, Villa and Carranza and Zapata to get together
on a settlement.
‘ The orders calling out the reserves are ready at the
War Department. All that is necessary for the Presi
dent to do is to fill in the number to be called in a blank
space left for that purpose and to sign the order.
Secretary Daniels announced at 7:50 p. m. that the
plans for mediation would cause no change in the move
ments in the navy for the present, and no orders would
be issued to-night.
President Wilson accepted the offer on the ground
that it may ‘‘prove feasible and prophetic of a new day
of mutual co-operation and confidence in America.”’
The tender of their offices for mediation between the
United States and Mexico was made by Senor da Gama,
Ambassador from Brazil; Senor Naon, Minister from
Argentina, and Senor Mujica, Minister from Chile in the
following letter:
““With the purpose of subserving the interests of
peace and civilization in our continent, and with the
earnest desire to prevent any further bloodshed to the
prejudice of the cordiality and
union which always have sur
rounded the relations of the gov
ernment and peoples of Amer
ica, we, the plenipotentiaries of
Brazil. Argentina and Chile.
have the honor to tender your
Excellency’s Government our
good offices for the peaceful and!

“This offer puts in due form a
sugeestion which we had the occa
gion to offer heretofore on the sub
fect to the Secretary of State, to
whom we renew the assurance of our
highest «nd most distinguished con
sideration.”
Becretary of State Bryan, after a
conferernce with the President and the
renking membors of the Senate and
House Committee on Foreign Rela
tions, replied:
“Phe Government of the United

l‘ Death to Americans,”
Cry in North Mexico.
EL PABO, TEXAS, April 25—
Placards calling for “death to Amer
icans” are being clrculated throughout
| Northern Mexico, according to refu
| geys who arrived at Juarez from the
interior early to-day. The train that
reached the Mexican town carried 109
Americans, and within a short time
the rmajority had walked over the in
ternational bridge to El Paso.
Ninety-geven of the refugees came
from Madera and the other twelve
l from scattering pcints, Many were n
' a state of ccllapse and decided to wait
‘m the cars for daylight rather than
walk (o Kl Paso. No street cars are
| allowed to cross the bridge during. the
| night.
. When the train passed through Vil-
Ila Ahumada, it was surrounded by a
mob of Mexicans, many of them so!-
diers, who shouted: “Kill the grin
goes!” The flight. of the refugees was
uneventful otherwise, but some de
clared that they had been insulted on
the streets of Chihuahua.
Among the pavsengers were Mrs,
Marion F. Fletcher, wife of the United
State: Consul at Chihuahua, and her
three children.
Within the last four days 1,200
American refugees have reached the
border here and at other points.
Within the next week it is believel
fully 5,000 others will arrive.

was among the refugees arriving from
Madera, sald that all industrious Mex
icans regretted the departure of the
lArm-rimus. and were opposed to any
' conflict with this country. ¥

| When the train left Madera Wed
nesday, he said, Mexican laborers in
ithc- mills there pleaded with tears for
lthn Americans to return.
“They realize that they are likely lo
atarve if we shut down all our plants,”
Mr. Grubb exnlainéd. '“They are not
able to get a l{ving wage from anyone
but Americans.”

Mexi yn Invasion
WASHINGTON, April 25.~The
Third Regiment of cavalry, which
led the American forces in Mexico
City in 1847, has asked Secretary
of War Garrison that the regiment
be designed to lead the attack If |
American forces again move on
the city.
The request was transmitted to
Secretary Garrison through Gen- |
eral Blockston, commanding the |
present regiment, which Is now ’
at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. {
by the Supreme Court as the resmlt
f an appeal from a decision by Judze
Day, of Ohto, in a test case instituted
by Lieutenant Colonel D. T. Stearns.
The ederal Department of Justice
' has held that under existing laws the
President lacks authority to requlrs
the militia organization of any State
to go outside of the boundaries of tha
country. This diflculty is obviated by
the transformation of militiamen into
volunteers, whom the President can
send into a foreign country.
| Inasmuch as it may be advisable at
| some future time to use the organ
| ized militla in foreign service, it is
deemed wise to have the question de
’.- ded at once by the highast authori
‘w A request has been made for an
| immediate hearing by the Supreme
