No Power Named Yet.

| Washington, ID. c., July 17.-Just
what foreign power had inquired for a
definition of this governments atti
tude in the present situation was still
unknown officially today, although r.
ports in official circles mentioned
Great Britain and France. The denial
from Berlin that Germany had made
representations was generally accep'-
ed as removing that country from the
list. The report that the situation haG
teen discussed by representatives of
the powers in Paris yesterday Seemed
TO strengthen the belief that Frarc ,
was interested.
1t was pointed out that the Frentil
have heavy interests in Mexico.
French interests are said to control
the Mexican National bank.
The Banco Central, another large
financial institution, and French in
vestors are said to have heavy hold
ings of Mexican railroad securities.
Great Britain interests are said to be
principally in the National Railways
and in mining. Germans Interests
are said to lie largely in agricultural
land and nation wide hardware busi-
ness.
While American losses are believed
to have been greatest in the revolu-
tion, English losses also have been
heavy through destruction Of railroad
French losses, it is said
have been largely so-called speculd
tive losses-that is, losses of what
would have been profits had not
q series of revolutions depressed busi-
ness.
Both the White House and the state
department continued to observe
strict silence on the situation, the
president and Secretary Bryan evi-
IDENTIFY waiting first-hand report from
Wilson, who is expected
here about July 90.
From official sources, however, it
was learned that the state depart
nent had been informed that the anti
American demonstrations in Mexico
City were entirely artificial and stimu-
ated because of the lack of recognit-
on of the Huerta government and for
he purpose of demonstrating the
,ower of the provisional government
o control them.
Mexico Papers Cautioned.
Mexico City, July 17.-All the news
,apers here have been cautioned by a |
government official to treat the trip of
ambassador Henry Lane Wilson to |
carefully and conserva-
lively, confine themselves today to To- |,
al stories and speculation that his |
,oing probably means early recognit- |
on of the Huerta administration by
he United States. They profess to
'elieve that a successor to Mr.. Wilson
viii be named Immediately and that
n this way recognition will be achev.
d.
Ell Pals is the only newspaper to dis
lay bitterness. 1t confines itself chief
y to attacking Ambassador Wilson
nd characteriZing him as an enemy
t the Mexican government. 1t ridi-
ules the idea of war, saying that
lexicans are no longer afraid.
Jays Bryan Gets Leave of Absence.
AS indicating brighter prospect
cabinet official gave out for publica.
on today the statement that Major
eneral Leonard Wood has been or
cred to the border personally to see
} the maintenance of the neutrality
lws. He added that Secretary of
tate Bryan had asked for six months
ave of absence and would be sue. |
eeded by John Bassett Moore, coun- !
ellor of the department Of state, who, {
e said, was great friend of Mexico
nd certainly would counsel recog-
ition of the administration.
The newspapers see In the attitude {
{ Europe only an effort to force the !
nited States to recognize the Mexi- {
IN government. The report of Ger |
any's threatening attitude is called |
Y the newspaper an absurd lie, since {
le German emperor's friendship for /
exico, they point out, is well known. 4
