THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. II. S. IS SECREm 111 President Huerta Is Calmed by Wilson's Offer to Help in Financing Nation. Continued from Page 1. he would go to Mexico City during the day to attempt to reopen negotiation* with the Mexican Government. "I am uncer obligHtiona to keep silent.” said Mr. Lind. “I would be a poor diplomatic agent if I gave no th® of intention*’ before I formed my own mind on them.” Coded diplomatic message* were exchanged between this city and Washington, and al*.> between Mr Lind and Charge d'Affatres Nelson O'Shaughneasy of the United States Embassy in Mexico City. At the United State* Consulate here it wa> said that Mr. Lind had not revealed his intentions there. It was not even known whfther orders had been received by the Special En voy' from Washington to return to the Mexican Capital. It was pointed out, however, that Mr. Lind s instructions wsre so com- prehensive that he might return to .Mexico City within his own discre tion if he thought that good would result from such a move. Hale Also Silent. William R. Hale, special investi gator for the State Department, who cam* here from Mexico City to take passage to-day on the Ward liner Moro Castle for New York, was equally silent- Press dispatches from Mexico City stAted that the streets were full of rumors and that even the press no tices were contradictory and mislead ing. From the mass of rumors, however, it was gathered that President Huerta is now disposed to accept the pro posals of President Wilson and prob ably will soon give notice of hie in tentions. In spite of the aggressive asser tions of Foreign Minister Gamboa in his rejoinder to Mr. Lind’s second note, it is known that the Government has been influenced by President Wil son's announcement that the United Staten Government will Influence bankers to make a big loan to the Mexican Government. It is believed that the I’nited States will do as It has done in Central America—tiiat is, to guarantee the payment of the loan If negotiations are opened under such circumstances, Mexico probably will ask for about $50,000,000. Mexico Is Bluffing, Says Col. Van Orsdale. The United States War Department does not expect war with Mexico, but every preparation has been made for immediate action, in case it becomes inevitable, according to Colonel Van- Orsdale, commanding officer at Fort McPherson. ‘Mexico Is only trying to bluff the United States,” anitl Colonel VanOrs dale. “They do not want war any more than we do. They know what the outcome would be. But they do want to rule their country in their own way, and they believe that the United Slates has no right to inter fere. "If war should be declared, the State of Texas alone could furnish enough fighters to completely conquer Mexico in leas than a year's time. Many people think that on account of the ruggedness of some parts of Mex ico. it would take years to completely subdue the country. It would not take as long now as it did Scott in 1847, for there are plenty of people in uur border States who understand fighting in rough country thoroughly, and they would speedily put an enu to every hand of guerrillas in Mexico “The War Department does not look upon the Mexican situation as serious. The ruling class in Mexico comprise* less than 20 per cent of the population, and while that class hates the United States, it is educated enough to know that a war with uh can mean only defeat. They could not look to Japan for help, for that country does not desire war with the United States—at least not at pres ent. ‘'Fifty per cent of the Mexican people are Indians, and with the ex ception of the Yaqula and one or two other small tribes, they are very peaceable. They could not be count ed on to fight, and the remaining 30 per cent are too ignorant to care about the Mexican Government. The Mexican leaders know ail this, and while they are putting up a strong bluff, they are not looking for war They know that the American people do not want to fight, and they are making the most of this knowledge. "Although the United States does not want war, it is now better pre pared for a fight than ever before. The standing army is in good condi tion. and the War Department al ready has complete plans for a Mexi can campaign worked out. in cas* war is declared. The department heads know ju.«t what would be the best point of entry into Mexican ter ritory. They could instantly mobilize troops on the border or send them to ^Atlantic or Pacific coast points for ^sptjrtsLfion to any Mexican sea- Dunkley to Play at Free Concert Sunday FVrdlnnnd Dunkley. fellow of the Royal f'ollege of Organists, London, has arrived in Atlanta to play as soloist at the free organ concert Sun day at the Auditorium under Music Festival Association auspices.
