ISSUES STATEMENT TO PEOPLE WASHINGTON. March 2 a. Presi dent Wllsetl tonight Issued warnings that 'sinister and unscrupulous In fluences' 4r spreading alarmist re port about the Mexlrao situation with the- object of forcing Interven tion by the United States 'In the interest of certain American owners of Mexican properties." In a format statement the presi dent told the' people of th United State to be on their guard and not to credit Bitch stories. He urged those irho disseminata news to test tho source and authenticity of every report from the border, and called attention again to the governments announcement that the sole object of the punitive expedition now In Mexico was to punish Villa and his followers. Kfwl Aarearlea A a We AH. The newa services supplying news papers had been asked, the president said, to assist In keeping this view constantly before the Mexican and American people, to the end that the expedition ahould not be given the color of war.

The poealblllty that Oeneral Carranaa'a hand anight be weakened to a perlloua extent ahould the Mexican publlo misun derstand the American expedition has been a prevailing factor In the entire operations- against Villa. The question or alarmist reports . was eonsldsred by the cabinet yeeterday and the president conferred at length with Secretary Lan airtg before he issued his warning to night.
