Some diplomatists here point out that

attitude in this present situation was
unknown officially today, altho reports
from official circles. mentioned Great
Britain and France. The denial from
Berlin that Germany had made repre-
eentations was generally accepted and
removed that country from the list.
The report that the situation had been

It was pointed out that the French
have very large interests in Mexico.
French interests are said to control the
Mexican National bank. The Banco
Central, another large financial insti-
tuition, with French investors. are said
to have heavy holdings Of Mexican
railroad securities. Great Britain's in
terests are said to be principally in the
national railways and in mining. Ger

in agriculture and q nationwide hard
ware business.

lutions, English losses also have been
heavy thru destruction Of railroad
property. French losses. 1t is said. have
been largely so-called speculative
losses. that 10, losses Of what would

Both the White House and the state
department continue to observe strict
silence on the situation, the president
and Secretary Bryan evidently waiting
for first hand report from A.nh:ssa-
DOR Wilson, who is expected here about
July 20.
From official sources, however. 1t was
learned that the state department had
been informed that the anti-American
demonstration In Mexico City was en-
. tirely Artificial and stimulated because
Of the lack Of recognition Of the Huerta
government and for the purpose Of
demonstrating the power Of the pro-
yisional government to control them.
