Show VILLA STILL A MENACE. American Commissioners Do Not Favoi Withdrawal of Troops. New London, Conn. Additions tc the already large mass of information regarding Mexico's internal conditions were made at a conference of the Mexican-American joint commission on Monday. The outstanding feature of the first meeting of the fourth week, however, apparently was the repetition of the failure of the Mexican Mex-ican representatives to bring about an agreement on the withdrawal of the American troops. Tho Mexicans produced reports calculated cal-culated to show that the attack on Chihuahua by Villa forces was of no great importance. The reports discounted dis-counted the likelihood that Villa would become a menace to peace along the border. The .American commissioners were in receipt of reports that placed the situation in a less optimistic light. Until all doubt is removed as to the ability of tho Mexican army to control tho situation along the border and especially es-pecially along the Chihuahua frontier, it appears improbable that the Americans Amer-icans will enter into an agreement for the withdrawal of General Pershing's army. |
