NEW MESSAGE ON
MEXICO MAY Be
SENT BY WILSON
This Construction Is Placed
Upon Statement of White
House Attitude.

WASHINGTON, Nov. There was
discussion today in official circles
over the possibility that the Presi-
an address to Congress giving q de-
tailed report of what has occurred
since he last informed Congress on
the Mexican situation.
There was no indication at the
White House that such was the plan.
Inasmuch as IL has been said at the
White House that no communication
was intended to be addressed direct
ly to the powers and since negotia-
tions with the Huerta government
has been formal ybroken off. one in
ference drawn in official circles was
that the President possibly might adj
dress himself to Congress again, for
eign governments being advised of
his views simultaneously as part of
the program.
LONDON, Nov 1.--"None should
forget that Mexico is now very
great country, and must be consid-
cred by all as SUCH" said General
Porfirio DiaZ today when questioned
in Paris about the situation. He
would not, however, give his views in
T6BdIu 10 liie dlliIhpS VI NAAt A'AAieoN
states. Replying to question on the
subject, he said:
81 am not going 10 discuss either
the policy of the United States or
the me ssage that President Wilson is
going to read on Monday"
General Porfirio DiaZ once more de-
clared that he had no present inten-
ton of returning to Mexico. He said;
Il will return to my country in case
a foreign nation attacks it, and you
may rest assured that in such an
eventuality all Mexico will be soldily
united in It's efforts to throw out the
invaders"
The former dictator of Mexico said
that if General Felix Diaz had fol-
lowed his advice he would not have
attempted TO land at Vera Cruz. He
concluded:
when ! was in power | had both
men and money, and nobody can do
without them. Now that Provisional
President Huerta has both, he may
find out sooner or later that the Pres
ident of the Mexican republic must
always govern for and by his people,
The reference made by General
Porfirio DiaZ TO the reading of Il
message" by President Wilson next
Monday probably arises from con-
fusion in the dispatches issued in
Europe on the coming announcement
by the President of the newly planned
policy of the United States in regard
to Mexico.

Miss Daisy Oden, tri-city passenger

Indian reservation, which is being
