ENGLAND MAY HALT
ACTION ON MEXICO
Government Inclined to View
Further Recognition of Re-
public Is Unnecessary.

Great Britain may take no further
stepe toward recognizing Mexico. mas
much II is held that Huerta is presi-
dent by constitutional succession.
Great Britain. according to State De-
partment advices, has been ready TO
recognize Mexico ahead of the United
States, thus smashing a precedent
which always accorded the United
States the first opportunity of recog-
mixing countries in the Western Hemi-
sphere.
There Is reason to believe today, how
ever, that the British government may
hold the view that further. formal rec
ognition of the Mexican government is
unnecessary.
The British view is said to be founded
on the following facts: Madero resigned
al president, and Lascurain. as secre-
Lascurain appointed Huerta secretary
OF state~. Following this action Lascu-
rain tabdicated," and Huerta naturally
succeeded him as president. 1t is said
mere today that the British government
holds the view that this is constitu-
uonal succe ssion, and that previous
recognition of the Mexican government
still holds good.
The recognition of Huerta's minister
designate to Great Britain is in itself a
partial recognition of the Mexican gov
ernnent- 1t means that Great Britain
takes the view that Huerta is the
properly constituted head of the repub-
nc, ana as such is entitled to the recog-
uon OF the British government.
The United States Government is not
taxing similar view of Huerta's re-
gime. 1t still stands pat on its waiting
attitude 1t demands that there shall be
q formal election Of a President before
tnls government takes any steps toward
recognizing the southern republic.

ROBBED OF WATCH,

Robbed of his watch and fob near
the entrance to the Rex theatre on
Wednesday evening, a prominent bus
mess man of Valley City had the rare
experience of having the valuable ar
ticle returned this mo, nlng by the
thief. The watch was lifted" in the
crowd which always surrounds the
doors of the theatre, and was not
missed until later in the evening. This
morning the thief voluntarily came to
the local mans Office and returned the
watch and fob, expressing contrition
for the theft and offering to accept
what punishment should be thought
necessary. Owing to his extreme
youth and the fact that the influences
which surrounded him in his daily life
were far from the best, it was decided
not to punish him more than to admin
lister a severe rebuke.
