Washington. July l5.-One great
European power. 1t was announced
today, has already called the atten-
tion of Secretary Bryan to the cha
otic conditions in Mexico with n po-
lite inquiry as to what the United
States proposes to do to protect the
lives and property of foreigners. 1t
is believed in some quarters that this
action is part of concerted plan by
European nations to bring the Amer
lean state department to declara-
tion of its policy.
Until recently President Wilson
paid little attention to the rumors of
outside influences being brought to
bear. to cause the United States to
recognize the Huerta regime; but ii
is beginning to be apparent now that
there must be an official declaration
on the subject very soon. to reassure
the European powers in regard to
the safety of their citizens, their lives
and property. Failing in such dec
laratlon some officials fear that the
European nations may feel themselves
free to take steps to restore peace.
