WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.--Durins
MS absence In New York tonight and
tomorrow, President Wilson win con-
tinue In the closest touch with Next
can affairs. He arranged today with
Secretary Of State Bryan to have ali
important messages, either from Lind
or O'Shaughnessy, repeated to him..
This action was not taken becauYe
any serious change is looked for, but
because the president considers him
self personally responsible for ever
move made by the United States.
1t developed today that the preSis
dent yesterday assured Sir William
Tyrrell, secretary to Sir Edward
Grey. British foreign secretary. that
his Official advices indicated the Brit.
1sh representative at Tuxpam and
Tampfco had exaggerated the serf-
business OF the situation there. For
eign property will be protected by
revolutionists. John Lind and Admfral
Fletcher have been assured. and
these promises have been accepted
at their face value
because OF the general forward
movement undertaken by the consti.

that some foreign property viii b.

sured by Carranza that claims for aII
damage will be paid In full 20 soon

quarters today over the quality OF the
Endorsement given President Wilson'r
policy In Mexico by Viscount Hal
dane. lord high chancellor Of Great
Britain, at the American society's
Thanksgiving dinner in London hst
night.
His praise OF President Wilson's
high moral attitude was especially
welcome.
Referring to the president, Lord
Holdane said:
Before he became president, Mr..
woodrow Wilson was a thinking man
and moralist- In studying his ca
reer, cannot fail to be impressed by
his detached character. and find that
he has not ceased to be a thinker and
a moralist because he has become the
holder OF great office. We see in
him the aspirations and ideals ex.
pressed OF his nation to the world
1T is not only his expressed declar.
ations that the policy OF the United
States Is not one Of conquest or
annexation; but the world looks to
the United States. with its enormous
position and possessions. to carry on
its traditions without adding to its
possessions"
