Ambassador Wilson Galled For Conference With President.

The seriousness of the Mexican situation is now openly admitted by government officials, and it is known that the note received by the state department from Germany indicated that this country should do something to put an end to the strife in that country. Wednesday President Wilson recalled Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, the representative of this country at Mexico, and a conference with the president will follow his return, which is to be expedited by travel on battleships provided a commercial boat is not in waiting. It is said tbatjkmbassador Wilson will not be returned to Mexico and rumors say that John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, is to succeed him. Internal strife continues in Mexico and the elections which Huerta had promised for next October can not- be held, it is claimed, owing to the chaotic conditions. Huerta urged recognition of his government, but the United' States has refused, although several foreign nations have given recognition. In this country there is every certainty that the Huerta reign resulted from cold-blooded treachery and murder and the state department has wisely withheld recognition. Leading diplomats believe that the crisis which has long been threatened will come soon. Just wthat it will he none seem to know. But that the internecine warfare which has so long continued can be stopped only by intervention seems conclusive and that the powers have held conferences and agreed upon a demand that the United States guarantee protection to their subjects in Mexico is thought probable. - The destruction to American interests In the interior of Mexico has been extensive, while many Americans have padd the death penalty for trying to protect their interests. The doctrine of Monroe withholds other countries from taking a hand and justly requires that the United States furnish adequate protection for foreign subjects and interests.
