Gerard VIII Smooth
Mexican Troubles in

| BERLIN, Aug. 29.-When Judge
Gerard, the new American ambassa-

will find that a delicate situation ex-

Mexico.
The Germans are watching the sit
uation with the keenest interest, but
as usual when the United States is
confronted with serious problem or
with a difference with another nation
good portion of the press manifests
distinct GOODNESS toward the United
States and shows an inclination to
question and doubt the American mo-
tives. They also insinuate that there
ment.
Certain liberal and conservative
pan-German newspapers are now
strongly inclined to create the impress
sion in Germany that American CAPT
talists are trying to embroil the two
countries for the sole purpose of an
nexing Mexico. 1t is recognized that
German interests in Mexico amount to
many millions of dollars and that the
restoration of order in that country
would be of great benefit to German
as well as other interests, but the old
fear and suspicion prevail in CONNER
cia1 circles that if order is forcibly re-
stored by the United States through
American commercial in
terests will have an advantage over
other countries. For this reason it |
is deduced from newspapers that Ger |
many would prefer to take chances |
with the Mexicans.
