MEDIATION SUITS DICTATOR HUERTA

Wires Formal Acceptance of Offer Made by Brazil, Chile and Argentine Republic.

WHAT WILL U. S. DO? Much as Peace is Desirable the General Opinion Seems to Be That Having Undertaken a Settlement of the Mexican Situation the United States is in No Way to Transfer the Solution to South America, Thus. Giving Recognition to Huerta and Admitting 'Our Own Inability to Fulfill the Provisions of the Monroe Doctrine. The headlines on many of the metropolitan papers are in smaller type today, there being an impression that the war clouds are raising and that the mediation plan Offered by Chili, Brazil and the Argentine Republic will be adopted. Huerta has wired a formal acceptance and ft seems to depend upon the action, taken by President Wilson. There is general belief that

the United States having undertaken the solution of the Mexican problem can not honorably retreat at this time and should arbitration or mediation be adopted it will result only ii> humiliation for this country and not solve the Mexican •troubles in any. way. If a stable government in Mexico is to be secured, it can only bedone by removing the troublesome revolutionary leaders: and establishing a- protectorate that will guarantee to those who want to establish homes the right to do so and the power must be strong enough to deal summarily with the bandit type of leaders who-have devastated the country. United States troops under General Fred Funston have entered the port at Vera Cruz, where they are held under orders. The feeling at Mexico City is said to be improved and that many of the natives have plainly shown their sympathy tor Americans and against the dictator. Huerta is said to fear assassination and his fear for personal safety is behind his acceptance.of mediation.
