neutral and outalde the field of operations
hereafter in Mexico's civil wsr.
The villa-Zapata forces have agreed to
the proposal and are willing to evacuate
the city as soon as a similar agreement la
obtained with the carranza authorities wno

On Oeneral Carranza depends also
whether or not the effort or the United

Mexico City and Vera Cruz shall succeed.

Later it Is understood Mr. West will go
