WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-During

tomorrow, President Wilson will! con-
tinue In the closest touch with Mex
lean affairs. He arranged today with
Secretary OF State Bryan to have all
important messages, either from Lind
or OsShaughnessy repeated to him.
This action was not taken because
any serious changes are looked for
but because the president considers
himself personally responsible for
every move made by the United
States.
1t developed today that the presi-
dent yesterday assured VIM. Tyrrell,
secretary to Sir Edward Grey, British
foreign secretary, that his official ad-
vices indicated the British represen-
tatives at Tuxpam and Tampico had
exaggerated the serious situation
there. Foreigners wdll be protected
by revolutionists John Lind and Ad-
miral Fletcher say, and these prom
ises have been accepted at their face
value.
But the president has been assured
by Carranza that claims for all dam
age would be paid in full SO soon as
the constitutionalists are in control
Of the country. This promise has
been passed on to the British foreign
Gees There WAS much interest IN
the foreign Office over the qualified
endorsement given Presidnnt Wilson's
policy In Mexico, by the lord high
chancellor Of Great Britain at the
American society's Thanksg' wing din

of Presidet Wilson's high moral atti-

a complete prehistoric workshop,

are as sharp as when they were made.
Some Of the tools weigh less than .
pound, others less than penny
weight; others are 30 fine and small
that 134 Of them weigh an ounce.
Near the prehistoric workship was
an egg-shaped altar stone, seven ivory
beads, and stone incense cup, be-
longing to the Druid period. They may
be as old as the Druid temple at
Stonehenge, which was built about
1850 B. C. The stone incense cup was
probably used for amounting kings and
queens
