LONG RESUME OF SITUATION Mexico City, June 1.—Claiming that the words and protests of the United States have been entirely in contradiction of their acts and that in spite of protests not to intervene in the affairs of Mexico soldiers of the United States are in Mexico withe .t the consent of the Mexican govern- ment and in violatior of Mgxico's sovereignty, the Mexican government now asks for the immediate with- drawal of these troops. The request is made in a 12,000-word note made public at the foreign office today, about noon. The note recites that the American troops crossed the border after the Columbus incident without the per- mission of the Mexican government, The act was not considered one of invasion then, solely because the United States said they had misinter- ¥ preted the attitude of the Mexican government. When the second ex- pedition crossed the line after the Glenn Springs incident, the note maintains, the plea that this was done | with the consent of the Mexican con- sul at Del R'-, Tex,, is untenable and that the act can only be considered as one of invasion, Asks Withdrawal at Once, “The Mexican governm.nt there- | fore invites the United States to bring | to an end this unsupportable situa- tion” the note concludes and “to s - port its protestations and declarations with- drawal of American troops.” Maintaining that the protests of | friendship by the United States and the expressed desire for non-interven- E tion has been contradicted by the acts of the Washington government, the note says the time has arrived when Washington must declare itself clearly and unequivocally as to its future intentions toward Mexico, After reciting the facts which led 10 the first crossing of the frontier by American troops after the Villa raid it Columbus, the note insists that in contradiction of the words of Gen- erals Scott and Funston, another ex- | pedition crossed the boundary line, thus violating all the precepts of in- | ternational law and committing an act | i 1 | | ? . of invasion. Still on United States Soil, “The American government,” says the note, “has admitted that the work of the expedition which entered after the Columbus raid, now is over, But in spite of this fact American_troops still remain on Mexican soil. To con- tend that political disorder in this country justifies this act of the Amer- ican military forces is in conflict with the repeated professions of the Wash- ington government relative to non- interference.” The note points out that much of the trouble in Mexico is due “to the attitude of the United States in not gunilhin conspirators in the United tates who have plotted the downfall of the present constitutional govern- ment, and to the acts of Washington in refusing to permit the shipments of arms and ammunition to enter Mexico.” How News Was Learned. Taking the matter up as of May 22, the date the note bears, it says that the Mexican government has just been advised that 400 men of the American army had crossed into Mexico, the fact being brought to the atténtion of the government by a communication from the commander of the expedition to the Mexican commander at Esmeralda, informing him that he had crossed the line in accordance with the agreement be- tween the two governments and with the consent of Mexican consular offi- cials at Del Rio, Tex, The Mexican government, it is de- clared, cannot assume that the United States has committed an error a sec- ond time in ordering the cro without the consent of the govern- ment of Mexico or that the com. mander of the American troops acted \qilhnm due authority upon this occa- sion. “The explanation given by the American government in regard to the crossing of troops at Columbus never has been satisfactory to the Mexican government,” the communi- cation says, “but the new invasion of our territory no longer is an isolated fact and tends to convince the Mexie can governmen that something more than a mere error is |n\'ul\'r3 “This latter act of the American forces causes new complications for the Mexican government, increasing the difficulty of finding a satisfactory solution and adding to the tenseness of the international situation. The Mexican government cannot consider this last incident except as an inva slon of our territory and it is its duty 10 request the American government to order the immediate withdrawal of these new forces and to abstain from sending any other expedition of a similar nature.” Declaring that the protecting the frontier upon both governm overnment . Amernican trooy hligation of rests equally ents, the de facto s that since the irhed by other military operations “are physically unable to protect the line on the American side,” the difficulties of the Mexican government should be appre ciated.

Ay 1884, it considers it its duty to resort to all means of a peaceful character te find a solution of the international confict in which both countries are involyed.” At this point the note requests of the United States government “a more categorical explanation of its real in- tentions toward Mexico.” To clear the way for such a state- ment, it proposes to speak the mind of the Mexican government with en- tire frankness and setting aside “all ¢"plomatic euphemism” but declaring it does so hoping that the sensibilities of the Washington government will rot be wounded by its words It recalls protestations of friendship by the American government toward Latin-American countries and par | nsible out ticularly toward Mexico, citing Presi- dent Wilson's declaration “that the United States did not intend to inter- fere in the internal affairs of Mexico or in any way to impair its sover- ignty, These repeated protesfations ap- ) ared, it says, to indicate “an honest purpose on the part of the govern- ment and people of the United States not to war on Mexico. The Mexican government, however, the note continues, “regrets to re- mark that the acts of the American military authorities are in absolute conflict with thea bove statements, and is constrained to appeal to the president, the Department of State, the senate and the American people to the end that once for all time the true political tendency of the United States toward Mexico be defined.” Such a definition, it says necessary that Latin America may appreciate the proper value of the protests of amity and fraternity which have been made to them during the many years. The argument re- cites the. Columbus expedition, and states that although admitting through Gen. Scott that its object had teen accomplished, President Wilson promise of withdrawal has not been complied with. Th emnet fol- lows: Can't Justify Attitude. “The causes of any internal political order which may exist not to with- draw the American troops from Mex- ican territory, however justified they | may appear, cannot justify the above attitude, but on the contrary, they accentuate the discrepancy between the protests of respect to the sover- eignty of Mexico, and the actual fact that on account of reasons of internal pnlic{ of the United States a status should be maintained which is utterly unjust with regard to the Mexican republic.” Confict between words and deeds is shown further, the note asserts, by the refusal of the United States to accept limitations as to the number of troops to cross the frontier under any reciprocal agreement or the zone in which they should operate. The character of the Columbus expedition was such, it adds, as to show distrust toward Mexico and no effort what- ever toward co-operation with Mex ican troops The clash at Parral is asserted to have been due to the secrecy with which the American military author- ities surround their operations. “The Columbus expedition,” it says, “has been carried into effect without any spirit of harmony but on the con trary under a spirit of distrust of our authorities, as our co-operation was not only unsought but we were unin formed in regard to the military op wrations effected Evidence of Distrust. As evidence of this distrust the note cites the fact that the expedition n cluded artillery and infantry, the of fice of which “cannot be explained in any other way except as A precan tion against probabe attack on the art of the Mexican forces The nited States, it s asserted, now pre fers to keep ita v e in Mexico rather than po the Ameri can side of the line By this action.” the note says, “the American government gives room o | the supposition that its true intention % 10 keep there 1h s i alveady has exico, anticipating that " may Ak e i them § ' | ture operations | e A an government has on levery N ared s deaire olp the stitutionalint governme . . w I pack OMAHA, FRIDAY, MOST BEAUTIFUL BABY Reilly, whose mother was Nell Donohue. in New York City, according to the | artist, Ray Rohn, is visiting her | grandmother, Mrs. M.
