I ' - Uexicon Situation Presents Difficulties President Wilson Points Out Dif ferences That v Before AH Danger of Trouble Can Be Regarded As Obviated Washington, D. C., July 6. Per .ahiug's punitive expedition will not be withdrawn on the mere streugih of Carranza's friendly note. This la today's decision from of .jficial hoadquarters. The indications are however, that the note has paved the way for a discussion ' "which may pave tie way to the ul timate withdrawal of the American lorces. . " Secretary Lansing conferred this morning with President Wilson as to the situation and following the xsonference described It as leaving the door open for future negotiation and for amicable settlement, al though! the real issue remains thru "Carranza's failure to disavow Tre vino's orders to fire on" Americans. Counsellor P61k will handle any negotiations during Lansing's vaca tloji which starts tomorrow. ' -STANDS BY ORDERS Though convinced that the dan ger of Immediate war with Mexico Is past the War Dpartment still stands by its orders sending all militiamen originally called to the "border.

It Is nald that though wounded In his re treat from the border he has now recovered. r Secretary Lansing said to-day .after his conference with the PresI dent that a reply to Carranza's note would go forward soon. The first flraft will probably be read before the cabinet tomorrow. The regotla tlons between this Government snl Cam will bp earrld on through re.fiilar dip'omatlc channels. Although one crisis has Just been 'anccesfu'ly passed and Carranza's - attitude has become that of co-op-frath'e frlcnclllnes", danger rlonc the border la still to be reckoned With. There are three problems which the "Tntted States must face. First, -withdrawal of Pershing's nnnl- live expedition; second, the Pstab- 'Mshment, of cooperative border pa i rol; and third, the cleaning np of i tfor'hern Mexico.
