INTERVENTION STILL POSSIBLE IN MEXICO

If President’s Personal Envoy To Mexico Accomplishes Nothing, IT. S. May Send Troops. John Lind, former governor of Minnesota, is on his way to Mexico as the personal envoy of President Wilson. He is workings under instructions not made public, but presumably to try to induce Huerta to release the reigns of government and agree to be bound by an election to choose his successor. Dispatches indicate that Huerta will not accept Mr. Lind, inasmuch as the United States has not acknowledged the Huerta regime, 'there is nothing to suggest that there is any chance for Lind’s mission to succeed. He can not speak the language and is not a schooled diplomat. President Wilson has never received any encouragement faom Mexico that should lepd encouragement to his plan to! send a pgace-maker there. The senate of the United States now believes that this country may be compelled to send troops into Mexico to protect American lives and interests. There is a growing sentiment that we should not longer put up with the destruction of American life and property beyond the Bio Grande.
