WHAT WILL THE UNITED
STATES Do IN MEXICO
Foreign Powers Are Calling Attention
TO Chaotic Conditions and Asking
for information.
[By Associated Press.l

Washington, July 15.-Already one
OF the great European powers, through
diplomats here, has called Secretary
OF State Bryan's attention to the
chaotic conditions in Mexico and po-
litely asked what the United States
intends to do about it.
Until recently President Wilson has
attached little importance to rumors
of outside influence trying to cause
the United States to recognize the
Huerta government. 1t is now be-
lieved there must very soon be some
official declaration by the United
States to assure the European powers
OF protection for their citizens against
money losses in continuance OF the
present Mexican conditions.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.

The city council met this morning
in special called session to hear the
property holders on the paving ques-
ton. However, only a few were pres
ent, and the meeting was adjourned
until this afternoon.
This morning the few property hold
ers present were against the imme-
diate start OF the paving work, say
ing that the streets would be blocked
during the busiest season OF the year
in Bryan. 1t was pointed out that a
postponement OF the construction
work until after the cotton season
would mean a years postponement,
since it would be very impractical to
lay the pavement in the winter
months, as any flaw would be attribut-
ed to weather conditions.
The discussion will be continued
this afternoon.
