Provisional President Huerta.
The French government declares it.
self convinced by its advices from
Washington of the sincerity of the
pacific intentions of the United
States government toward the Mexi-
can people.
A rumor emanating from apparent
ly well-informed circles indicated
that President Raymond Poincare
would not receive Francisco de la

minister to France. but inquiries at
the foreign office today brought out
the authoritative affirmation that the
French ministry would not raise the
slightest difficulty in the way OF the

the French president at an early date.

of the aeceptabi of Senior de la

wilson Gives Huerta a Day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Presi-
dent Wilson made it plain today tnat
unless there was a change in the at
titude of the Huerta government
within the next twenty-four hours
he would carry out his intention to
personally read to Congress tomor-
row a special message outlining the
policy of the United States toward
Mexico.
He will discuss the message tonight
at the White House with the entire
membership of the Senate foreign re-
iations committee and the House <or-
eien affairs committee. The message
is couched in very kind terms, be-
cause the President feels that the
world generally ought to recognize
that the situation in Mexico Is ab-
normal, being controlled by small
group of men. That circumstance,
the President believes, ought not OBJ
scure the real feeling of the United
States towards Mexicans, which is
one of generous friendship.
The President does not wish In any
public utterance to use words OF
harshness or hostility
Foreign Powers Press Huerta
THAT foreign powers generally are
exercising their good offices IN Mex
leo City, pressing Huerta to yield to
the American proposals, now is open
ly admitted by. administration offi-
eials.
When questioned today whether
ysuch participation by European gov
ernments in the politics of the west
ern hemisphere was considered an in
fringement upon the Monroe doctrine,
II was pointed out by administration
officials that the United States did
not oonstrue an act of friendship as
impairipg, at any time, the Monroe
doctrine.
1t was pointed out also that the
activities of foreign governments were
not due to any request by the United
States for assistance, but that this
government had decided on a policy
of keeping the nations of the world
generally informed of the steps being
taken to bring about peace, leaving
it to the countries of the world to do
spontaneously what seemed expedient.
Message to Go to Diplomats
a copy of President Wilson's mes
sage will be delivered to the diplo
matte corps here after it's reading to
Congress. The document is longer
than usually has been the case with
messages from President Wilson.
When he was asked today to estimate
it's length he laughingly told friends
he had written it on a new typewriter.
and could not estimate 1t, but 1t is
expected to make about four thousand
words.
At the White House it was said
there was nothing pending, so far as
this government was concerned, which
might prevent the President from
reading the, message tomorrow.
