AMERICA BLAMED FOR MOST OF TROUBLE Note to Lansing States That Mexicans Do Not Deserve the Assertions Made by United States in Its Communication. Mexico City. June 30. The foreign office late today issued 3 in remy to Secretary Lansing's recent note in which the correctness of assertions in the unication from Washington were repeatjedly denied. The memorandum declares that the United States had 110 right to maintain its armed forces on Mexican soil.

Emphatically reiterating the Mexican government's position denying the right of the United States 10 keep armed bodies in Mexico, the memorandum denies energetically that the Mexican government has protected bandits who had committed depredations in the United States and defies Washington to produce proof of tire assertion. Not a Direct Reply. The memorandum contains 35 counts. Although not in the form of a direct reply to the Washington note, it is considered equivalent to an answer to that document. It expresses surprise that the Washington government should have been pained at the tone and contents of the Carranza document.

since it maintains that the United States has sent to the constitutionalist government not only one, but many discourteous and even overbearing notes. Watson Is Blamed. Blame for the Santa Ysabel massacre is placed on the so-called impulsive and irascible disposition of Charles Watson, general manager of the Cusihuiriazhic company, and General Scott and General Funston are accused of bad faith and lack of honor in misleading General Obregon in an alleged evasive reply regarding the crossing of American troops into Mexico after the Glenn Springs raid. The memorandum asserts that while it is true that the United States arrested General Huerta, the motive which prompted this act was not a purpose of aiding the Mexican government, but because the United States feared that General Huerta was plotting with Germany. Presence Incites Trouble.

The note concludes by declaring that the presence of American troops in Mexico invites rather than prevents bandit raids along the border. The memorandum issued at the same time that the Foreign office authorized publication of Secretary Lansing's recent note. In part the note says: Note's Statement. "It appears strange that the department of state of the United States should be displeased with the tone of the note of this of May 22, which it terms discourteous. when the same department has addressed to this government not one but many notes in tones not only discourteous, but threatening.

"During the period alluded to in this note Mexican citizens have been murdered in American territory by American citizens and even by the aulthorities of the United States, this despite the fact that both nations were in a state of profound peace, and in none of these cases, despite repeated remonstrances, Washington, by the have Mexican any ambas- the of guilty been punished. Criminals Not Protected, "It is untrue that the Mexican government has protected in any instance criminals attacking American territory, The Mexican government has done all in its power to protect foreign subjects. The fault lies with foreigners, especially Americans, who insisted on remaining in disturbed districts, despite the repeated warnings of the Mexican government. As our own citizens have suffered severely on account of the condiof affairs, it is hardly just that foreigners should expect to he immune. The note cites the case of Charles Watson, one of the victims of the Santa sabel massacre, who, it states, insisted on making the fatal journey despite a warning from General Trevino, the military governor of Chihuahua.

"It is a tact, the note states, "which the American military authorities cannot deny, that on March 6 General Gavira advised the latter that he had trustworthy intelligence Villa and his bandits were on the way to the frontier. He also warned them that Villa was going by way of Las Palomas, thus giving the American authori. ties ample time in which to prepare to meet the danger. "The constitutionalist government also on receipts of the news of the movements of Villa and right after the attack on Columbus. sent 1,500 men under General Gutierrez as rapidly as possible to the northern part of the state of Chihuahua with orders to pursue the bandits relentlessly 11 is well known that the pursuit began immediately and that the bandits were dispersed.

American Commander Blamed. imputation of the American eroment that the constitutionalist governwent had no desire to put an end to these attacks is untrue. It is well known that the affair at Parral resulted from the imprudence of the commander of the Amercan troops, who entered the town well knowing that the Mexican commander had not given his consent. Mexican government could do 110 less than consider improper the presence of American troops 011 Mexican soil. since the original orders given to them were.

according to the American press, to undertake immediate pursuit of the Villa bandits and return to their encampments. "It is also true that the constitutionalist government protected American troops against the just indignation of the populace of Parral, who were aroused by their presence. note of the secretary of state de. scribed as a convention what was simply a proposition which the Mexican govern ment made conditionally to government of the United States in the note of March 10. to establish reciprocity in the passage of troops in pursuit of bandits.

if on any other part of the frontier there shonld occur acts such :18 those at Colum provisional proposition cannot be called a convention and therefore it is not true that the Mexican government has re pudiated any couvention." WILSON OPPOSES MEXICAN WAR, HE SAYS the fallible human being that I am. "Mr. Colby said something that was among the few had to say myself. that things, forecast some things which it is really useless to debate, because they go as a matter of course. Prepare This Nation.

(Continued From Page One.) "Of course. it is our duty to prepare this nation to take care of its honor and of its institutions. Why debate any part of that, except the detail, except the plan itself, which is always debatable "Of course, it is the duty of the government which it will never overlook to defend the territory and people of this country. It goes without saying that it is the duty of the administration to have constantly in mind with the utmost sensitiveness every point of national honor. "But, gentlemen, after you have said and accepted these obvious things.

"Do you think the glory of America would be enhanced by a war of conquest of Mexico? Do you think that any act of violence by a powerful nation like this against a weak neighbor would reflect distinction upon the annals of the United States? Carrying It 'Too Far. "Do you think that it is our duty to carry self-defense to a point of dietation into the affairs of another people?

"And have constantly to remind myself that I am not the servant of those who wish to enhance the value of their Mexican investments: that I am the servant of the rank and file of the people of the United States. "I get a great many letters, my fellow citizens. from important and influential men in this country, but get a great many other letters.

"If I have opportunity to engage them further in conversation they say, 'Of course, we know that you cannot govern the circumstances of the case altogether and it may be necessary. but for God's sake don't do it unless it is Moral Forces Greatest.

"Force can sometimes hold things steady until opinion has time to form, but no force that was ever exerted exIcept in response to that opinion was ever a conquering and predominant force.
