not be placed otherwise. The am
bassador expects to return immediate
" after his conference with the presi-
dent, possibly within two weeks. His
wife will accompany him and return
with him."
In spite Of denials from Germany
the impression prevails here that a
formal demand Of that government
upon the United States to take i'm
mediate steps to protect foreign prop
erty in Mexico resulted In the calling
OF Wilson to Washington. Although
the statement issued expressed the
belief OF Wilson that he would return
here many members OF the American
colony doubt this. It was pointed out
that the feeling between the ambas-
sador and some Of the Mexican un-
der officials has been more or less
strained for some time, and protests
made by Wilson have brought slight
response.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-President
Wilson sees no reason as yet for any
change in his attitude in regard to
Mexico. He does not regard the pres.

with newspaper men this afternoon
will make public his exact position
on the Mexican situation. The white

Last week the Hennepin grand jury
refused to reindict j. D. Bren, a for
mer cashier of the state university,
who year ago suddenly confronted
the university officials with the start
ling statement that he had been
robbed of $4,000 in university funds
while crossing the campus. He was
cleared at the trial of embezzlement
and his bondsmen made good. With
full clearance papers for Bren there
now passes into history a mystery
which will likely never be fathomed
or explained. The whole thing is
something the university off1cials do

that, like Bsncho's ghost, it may yet
