BRYAN ANNOUNCES THE UNITED STATES WILL TAKE ACTION
 WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
STATEMENT IS FORTHCOMING
Foreign Powers Reaffirm Their Pur- pose to Allow the United States a Free Hand in Eliminating Huerta From the Presidency.

Washington, Nov 12.-Secretary Bryan announced today that a state ment would be issued within a few days setting forth the policy of theI United States toward Mexico
 Whether or not the statement will be in the form of a communication to congress by President Wilson. hae not been disclosed, but some of the diplomats here believe it will be.
 The statement has been under con- sideration several days and in Sec retary Bryan's conferences with mem- bers of the diplomatic corps he has made 1t plain that the forthcoming pronouncement would define clearly the attitude of the United States.
 Such a statement, it is thought, not only would reiterate the views that the United States can never recognize Q government established by arbi- trary force, but would give it's reasons for refusing to recognize any acts of the new congress, either as to the validity of loans or concessions, and point out the steps necessary to a solution of the problem
 It was apparent that developments in various foreign capitals brought cials today and there was a feeling among them that the desire of the United States to prevent interference by the powers virtually had been ac- oepted.
 Premier Asquith's speech explain. ing that Great Britain wished to do nothing that was unfriendly to the United States; semi-official assertions from Berlin that no financial assist ance would be given Huerta by Ger many; a definite understanding with France that nothing would be done by France to embarrass the processes which the United States has elected to solve the Mexican problem: as surances from the Japanese ambassa dor that the sending of the armored cruiser 1zumo to Mexican waters wasI for no political purpose but mereis to extend protection to Japanese sub- jects if necessafy-all tended to strengthen the belief here that the Washington government finally had secured the moral support of the other world powers in it's efforts toI unrayel the Mexican tangle.
 It is also felt that from no part of Europe will Huerta get financial as- sistance.
 Fear reflected in some of the dis patches from abroad that the over throw of Huerta might produce al state of anarchy in Mexico City un- less a strong substitute were immedi. ately provided, agrees with the point of view of many senators who have been discussing that phase of the situation with President Wilson. The Washington administration has taken eognizance of this eyentuality, and if Huerta retires in accordance with the. program desired here, it is said there need be little fear of any physical dis. turbance in Mexico City.
 In the plan of the United States to- afford Huerta every opportunity to retire peaceably, there is desire for a definite understanding also as to who the succeeding provisional pres ident would be. The United States recognizes that the provisional suc- cessor must be acceptable to the con-. stitutionalists if the latter are to stop fighting.
 Close observers of the situation pointed out that the United States was today in a better position 10 bring about an understanding between the constitutionalists and the authori- ties at Mexico City than has been pos sible since the United States first interposed it's good offices to solve the situation.
 The conference today at Nogales, Sonora, between William Bayard Hale and General Carranza nd members ot the constitutionalist cabinet opens the way for a distinct line of communf cation between the constitutionaists and the Mexican authorities. Peace commissions have endeavored in vain, heretofore, to establish a line of dip. lomatic barley between the two sides One of the difficulties hitherto en- countered in attempting to get the two sides to point of discussing an armistice has been the difficulty of | telegraphic communication. With the United States as a medium of com munication, it is thought possible that
