The British Minister to Mexico to the British Ambassador at Washington.¹⁹

[Telegram—Extract.]

Mexico City, March 17, 1915.

Minister for Foreign Affairs states that he is prepared to consider neutralization of Mexican railways. * * * None of us here have the vaguest idea of the state of affairs in the northern part of the Republic. I cannot but consider present improvement in situation as trifling and temporary, the real gravity of conditions has in no way diminished.
