Influence Being Brought to Bear
to Cause This Country to
Recognize Huerta
EUROPE MAY TAKE A HAND

Washington, July 15.-Already one
great European power, through its
diplomatic representative here, has
called the attention OF Secretary Bryan
to the chaotic conditions in Mexico and
the effect upon the welfare and safety
of its citizens there, with polite in
quiry as to what the United States
proposes To- do about it,
Whether the inquiry was a part of
concerted movement on the part Of
the European powers TO bring the
state department to a declaration Of it's
purpose toward Mexico did not de-
velop. Reports from the city Of Mex
ECO, however, would appear to warrant
that conclusion.
Until recently President Wilson has
attached little Importance To rumors Of
outside influences being brought 10
bear To cause the United States to rec
osnze the Huerta regime. 1t is be-
ginning to be apparent that there must
be very soon some official declaration
on the subject to rcassure European
powers Of protection of their citizens
and subjects against pecuniary loss by
a continuance Of present conditions
Failing in such declarations some Off
cials fear the European powers may
feel themselves free to take steps to
restore peace.
Resolution Aimed at Bryan.
Senator Bristol today instructed n
resolution aimed at Secretary Bryan's
statement that he was Obliged to go on
lecture tour because Of insufficient
salary and calling on President Wilson
To report what salary would be suffl-
cicnt TO enable Bryan to remain per
manently al his post The objection of
Democratic senators prevented an i'm
mediate consideration.
