Vr Cruz. Autnist 28.
Hr personal representative made hasty preparations this
afternoon to return to Mexico City. Colonel Manuel Gas-
itte brought a final message to Mr. Lind from President
Huerta as a result of which the American envoy hastened
for a renewal of negotiations at the capital. The contents
of the message have not been made public but it is reported
that General Huerta has expressed willingness to meet Mr.
Hfd at least half way in the matter of the American pro-
Hpls without absolutely yielding.
' Other messages have been received by Mr. Lind since
he came to Vera Cruz and answered. Members of his party
express great gratification over the outcome but say that
tje most important part of the work yet remains to be done.
The fact is now confirmed that General Huerta noti-

Hpference and that he is disposed to accept President Wil-

national banks are required to con-
tribute an amount equal to ten per
cent of tbetr own capital stock and
to become liable for an additional ten
per cent In case of call. This It Is
estimated will give the regional re-
serve banka. a combined paid up capi-
tal of 1101000.000. These regional
reserve banks also are made custod-
ians of a large part of tbe reserve
money of member hanks estimated

ment deposits estimated at from

gie oat reserve district.
"One Important provision is for
the gradual rsfundlng for s period of
twenty years of the two per cent into

will mean the eventual retirement of

The notable reserve featuree of tbe
bill cob template a reduction of the
reserve requirements of reserve and

stitute for which Representative

Loudon Press Expresses Varied Views
CoiK-rrntng President Wilson's
By Tit Astecisted Press
London Aug. tl. In commenting
on the Mexican situation today the
Pall Mall Oasette says:
"We fully understand that Presi-
dent Wilson's message Is born of the
travlal of his. soul. He Is a good and
devout man earnestly desirous of
furthering the Ideals of peace and Jus-
tice but on him rests the responsibil-
ity for pro:ectlng not only the Inter-
ests of the Ulnted States In Mexico
but the lives of some thousands of
American cities as who have settled
there.
"The application of moral force
consists In urging all the cl-lxens of
the United States In Mexico to aban-
don their occupations snd dear out
of the country and In proposing mens
ures which must rest on physical force
for preventing the en-ry of arma and
munitions of war into the country
either for 1'ruvlalonal President
Huerta or for the rebels. We shall
watch the result of steady pressuhe
of moral force bu. without much be-
lief In Its success.
"We have preached many times
during the past troubled months that
physical force not backed by moral
force la brutal and futile but e are
compelled to accept the converse Idsa
thst moral force not backed by phy-
sical force Is no less futils and in con-
sequence Is likely to become even
more brutal.
"The golden dreamers of The
Hague snd of the capital shrluk from
recognising a fact so fatal to their
theories We shall see what Mexioo
has te teach them"
The Evening Standard says:
"The I'nlted States as we have all

JOHN LIND HAS REACHED
AN AGREEMENT WITH HUERTA
Stated on High Authority That the Pros-
pect for Peace in Mexico is Now
Brighter Than at Any Time Since
the Crisis Arose.
By the Associated Press.
Washington August 28. President Wilson received
a long message from John Lind at Vera Cruz tonight out-
lining the prospects of a settlement of the Mexican prob-
lem in most optimistic terms.
While silence was maintained at the White House
there was a well defined impression in official circles that
the Mexican government and Mr. Lind had reached a pre-
liminary agreement which might lead to peace in the south-
ern republic.
It was stated on high authority that the situation was
more encouraging than it has been at any time since Mr.
Lind went to Mexico. The message to the president was
essentially a summary of the points made by the Huerta
government in its last note which was carried to Vera Cruz
today by Colonel Manuel M. Guasque.
While no details were made public it is understood
that both the United States and the Huerta government feel
that they can now renew negotiations on a franker basis.
There were persistent reports current that Huerta had stated
he would make a public announcement of his intention not to
be a candidate in the coming campaign but they lacked con-
firmation in official quarters.
THE RESUMPTION OF NEGOTIATIONS
INVOLVES MEXICAN CONCESSIONS
s re AtmrMrd Ma
Mexico City. Aug. II. It Is fully
expected that a resumption of nego-
tiations between the United States
and Mexico will be taken up tomor-
row on the return to the capital of
John Lind. Mr. Lind Is hurrying
back from Vera Crui on the strength
of Senor Gambia's note which he re-
ceived this morning and according
to the understanding the Mexican
government Is prepared to make somn
concessions to the American demands.
