Washington, D. c., Aug. Sec.
rotary Bryan yesterday asked the
house to appropriate 100000 tc
care for destitute Americans in Mex.
leo, who may find it necessary fol
their safety and well being to leave
and who are unable to pay for their
own transportation.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 2.-AfteI
a conference with President Wilson,
Secretary Bryan declared that the
United States was in no way being
pressed for action in Mexico and is
sued the following statement:
THE statement which appeared in
some of the morning papers to the
effect that European governments
are bringing pressure to bear on the
United States to compel aggressive
action in Mexico is entirely without
foundation"
Administration officials were
pleased to observe the reports from
Mexico City that reform element
in the Mexican chamber Of deputies
was planning to submit peace pro-
posals of both factions in the revo-
luton. So far as is known, the
policy of the American government
will be to await the outcome OF me-
EQUATIONS of this character.
The chief difficulty in negotiating
peace. it is admitted by Mexicans of
all factions, is the selection of a
nonpartisan provisional president.
The suggestion was made yesterday
by some prominent Mexicans here
that on account Of the scarcity OF
men Of ability who had not taken
part in the Mexican disputes and
changing politics, it might be expe-
dent to select one OF the veteran
diplomats now representing Mexico
in posts abroad. Men Of such char
acter, it was pointed out, had no
political affiliations and would give
the situation the benefit of their ex-
perience in fields of diplomacy. Sen
or Corrvarubias, at present minister
to Russia, and Senior Gilbert Cres-
poy Martinez were being mentioned.
The house foreign affairs commit
tee yesterday decided to ask Ambas-
sador Henry Lane Wilson to appear
and outline his views on Mexico.
The ambassador may meet the COM
mittee.
Chairman Flood, setting forth the
views Of the administration as he
has secured them from President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, made 1t
clear that the administration was
determined not to recognize the
Huerta government and that Secre-
tary Bryan contemplates an attempt
to get valid. binding election.
That it might proceed immediate
~ and intelligently if the necessity
for legislative action should arise.
the committee decided to inform it
self accurately as to the conditions
in Mexico.
The determination of the commit
tee to call Ambassador Wilson de-
veloped considerable difference of
opinion on whether his testimony, In
view OF the wide variance between
his views and those Of the president
and Secretary Bryan, might not
prove embarrassing to the admins
tration.
Some members of the committee,
which is strongly inclined to give
the president and the state depart
ment free hand In the situation.
believed Ambassador Wilson should
not be called until Secretary Bryan
and the president could be consult
ed.
With that situation in mind,
Chairman Flood will confer with the
secretary and president and an at
tempt may be made to reconsider
yesterdays action.

How to Freshen Furs.

Not everybody can indulge in new
furs often: therefore the care of furs
ia worth considering at this season of
the year. Visits to the furrier for gen.
eral freshening up Of furs are really
not necessary If one will follow these
directions. They are related. in fact.
by one who has known the fur busi-
ness for years and has cared for many
garments or odd fur pieces.
When the cheaper furs threaten to
become somewhat fat and what Is
called lifeless take a hairbrush with
not too stiff bristles, wet 1t thoroughly.
then brush the fur up brisky the
wrong way. Continue this brushing
until the fur finally loses its moisture.
then gently shake and beat 1t lightly
with some fiat beater. never thin
stick.
After this process the fur becomes
normally Strengthened, when easy
combing in the right direction brings
the fur to an unusually fine aspect.
This extra care of any fur article that
Is not exactly the best grade will keep
1t In good condition and will pay we'll
for the trouble taken.
