Possibility of U. S. Troops Entering
Country Freely Discussed.
. Washington, August 23. Possibil
Jty of American intervention in
Mexico is freely discussed by the
Mexico newspapers, according to in
formation reaching officials of the
state department. Particular interest
was manifest here today in one article
appearing in the "A. B. C."
This article pointed out in detail
seven ways in which the United States
might intervene and discussed each at
length. The seven methods enumerat
ed are:
Complete invasion, which the paper
admits would result in victory for
the United States.
Would Weaken Regime.
Partial invasion by the seizure of
frontier posts and customs houses,
wViich it is said would weaken the
Carranza government, caus a spread
ing of the rebellion; dishearten the
constitutionalists and cause Carranza
and his system to topple like a pack
of cards.
Aiding or recognizing some rebel
group.
Naming a group of Mexicans and
assisting them in the formation of a
government.
Withdrawal of recognition from
the present government, which the
paper said would be tantamount to
recognition of the rebels.

government requiring assurance that
the rebellion would be ended in a defi
nite period; payment of foreign claims
