WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-President
Wilfon and Secretary of State Bryan
broke their Sunday rest for a long
conference over the Mexican situa-
ton, following the receipt of another
special cipher message from Envoy
John Lind, No official information
was given out regarding the charac-
ter of the Lind dispatch, nor would
those in authority indicate whether
there had been any change in the
situation since the president express
ed his belief in the ultimate success
of the Lind mission a few days ago or
whether anything was likely to hap
pen that would cause the president to
change his program of communicat-
ing with congress on Tuesday.
Enough was learned however, to
indicate that the administration still
regards the Mexican situation as acute
and to suggest that there is some little
worry lest hitch In the program
somewhere upsets calculations to a
solution of the problem along the line
of endeavor that has been in pro-
gress In the words of one OF the
high officials of the administration,
the latest developments as perhaps
shown In the message received from
Mr.. Lind are mot discussable at
present"

having secured such a good place, the
merchant took his time about report

after his number had been called. All
he could do was to get new number
way down the line.
A well known bank clerk planned
on getting a front place in the line.
He set his alarm clock for o'clock
