PLAN TO BACK FIRST CHIEF OF ALL MEXICO

U. S. and South American Partners Will Give Carranza Six Weeks To Get Prepared.

The U. S. and its South American partners will probably back General Carranza, first chief of the constitutionalists of Mexico, as the real goods and worthy of recognition. Carranza was invited to meet other chiefs and settle the difficulty. The others responded expressing willingness, but Carranza said hands off my Mexico. This was all that was needed to satisfy Uncle Sam, who has had enough experience with Carranza for the past four years to know that he won’t be bluffed, so now our country has decided to forgive him for all the murders and outrages and robberies and destruction and insults and to back him to a finish and thus restore peace in Mexico. {Jreat stuff. Here’s hoping that this last plan of our Washington diplomats succeeds better than the hundred other schemes tried during the past two years. All hail Carranza.
