MEXICO ON VERGE OF WAR WITH U. S. TWO WEEKS AGO High Officials in Washington Re- Teal Crisis That Impended When Carranza Balked Special to Tkt Ttirtrrafih Washington, Aug. 19. Just how oVoae the United States nnie to being Involved In a war with Mexico as re cently as a fortnight ago was revealed to-day by high officials of the Admin istration. When General Carranza abruptly re jected the overtures of the peace en voys sent by Provisional President Car bajnl drastic measures were urged upon President Wilson. Many members of the Cabinet—it is said a majority favored sending American troops to the Mexican capital to prevent anarchy. President Wilson, however. contended that sending American troops to Mex ico City probably would mean war with the approaching Constitutionalists. A few days later, actual overtures came from the Carhajal Government in an indirect way to the effect that If American troops would come, they would be assisted. The United States was to receive a coaling station In Magdalena Bay. the Chamlzal claims were to be adjusted, and many other things to be arranged. The President rejected these ap proaches and renewed efforts to har monize the Constitutionalist leaders. He sent a personal friend. Paul Ful ler, a New York lawyer, to see both Villa and Carranza. Mr. Fuller has Just arrived at Villa's headquarters, where he is co-operating with George C. Carothers, American Consular Agent. In urging Villa to join with Carranza In maintaining peare In Mexico. White House officials said Mr. Ful ler went to Mexico merely to gather In formation. It was reported he might eventually be named Ambassador to Mexico. Messages from northern Mexico said General Calles, sent by Carranza to oust Governor Maytorena. of Senora, from office, had met defeat in a bat tle south of Nogales.

Jr., of 115 South Front street, has writ ten a letter to her son, J. Willard Connely, of McClure's Magazine, tell ing how she escaped from Paris to London and of the great rush of tour ists when the French forces were or dered to mobilize. Mrs". Connely writes from London: "It was not until about 6 o'clock In the afternoon that the news reached us that the troops were ordered to mobilize before 12 midnight, and leave Immediately for the frontier.' I packed at once, and with the girls we se cured a taxi and left for the station. "Such crowds and jams you never saw. We waited there mora than two hours, and people were flocking in continually. Many tourists—thou sands. it seemed to me —and many soldiers just starting. The affecting i parting of husbands and wives, moth ! ers and sons, brothers and sisters, which we saw was heartrending. "We were pushed and jammed in ! the crowd, clinging to our baggage. | By a big fee we secured a porter. Again my imperfect French helped i me—and he stayed with us and put our bags on the train. We were also helped by a kindly intentioned young man, so that we fared better than many others. "The train was very long, but was crowded and jammed. I had a seat, but the girls sat on their suitcases all the way to Dieppe—four hours. We reached there at 1:25 a. m., and again there was a jam and crowds to reach the boat. I was nearly taken off my feet and pushed and poked with bags and bundles until I thought I would be crushed. "The young man was here of great assistance by procuring a porter, and doing everything possible for our comfort. It took two large boats to convey all the passengers across the Channel. "We found places where we could stretch out In the hold of the boat, which was covered with canvas. Using our heavy coats for pillows and covers, we tried to sleep four or five hours longer. We reached New Haven about ti:3o a. m., and trains were in readiness to bring us to Lon don. where we arrived at 11:30. "The experience of the night was a terrible one, and we were a sorry looking lot.

Every motor and horse in Paris has been pressed into service to convey the soldieVs to the frontier. No provisions are com ing in, and prices are going up. "Many people have been obliged to leave their luggage, as there was no conveyance to take It to the stations, and no doubt many who had trunks will never see them again. "The excitement is great in London, no* only among the English and Ger mans who live here, but among the thousands and thousands of Ameri cans who are uncertain when or how they can get away, even though their passage is booked. The offices of the steamship com panies, Cook's, and the American Ex press Company are thronged. I can not tell when I shall* be able to get passage, but shall secure the first I can. It may be I shall be obliged to come via Montreal or Boston. Enor mous prices are being paid by people to those who are willing to sell their bookings and risk getting home later. I do not apprehend any trouble, though I may be obliged to stav here longer than I wish.
