(Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 13.—Elaborate precautions were
taken by high administration officials to-day to limit the trouble
zone in Mexico, The United States was very desirous that the
Mexican people be reassured and that ‘‘First Chief’’ Carranza be
placated. The White House let it be known that the Carranza
suggestion for a reciprocity agreement would be accepted as a
in.;mw of expediency By doipg so the United States would be
én-m;-h;m/mz its original declaration that it was acting only in
{support of the regularly constituted authorities of Mexico and
!l'u result must be advantageous.
i The only obstacle was the point raised by certani Senators
{that such an agreement would be in most respects a treaty and
ivuuhl only be legalized by the consent of the Senate, The Presi
iclv-nt conferred with Senators Stone and Saulsbury, Speaker
