ization with the same ability she dis
played in Il club production

CONDITIONS IN MEXICO BECOME
 MORE CHAOTIC
Washington Officials Be lieve United States Must
 Soon Take Hand.

Washington, July 7.-Although the fearful conditions in Mexico City and the chaotic status of things through out the republic of Mexico were re- stated today in dispatches to officials here, none of them was willing to discuss even the probable attitude of President Wilson.
 The state department again had telegrams from Consul General Shanklin but the only part of them given out referred to his arrival in Mexico City and the statement that large consignments of drugs for the hosNtals there had been received from Pachuca.
 The general official opinion seems to be that the concise summing up of the situation yesterday by the Bra zilian minister, that there twas nc hope for peace" expressed the real conditions, and that it was now a question between the white house anG Mexico.
 The tide has apparently turned from the military standpoint in favor of General Villa. Dispatches to the state department indicate that his forces are winning in the vicinity o Paredon. west of Monterey. where 2 desperate battle has been in progress for about six days.

 Countries.

Windsor, w.t., July 7.-President Wilson tonight reached a decision re- garding the tentative proposals made by Germany to the American govern ment. and, accordingly sent instruc- tions to Ambassador Gerard, through Secretary of State Lansing:
 The, president has finished his study of the German communications, which is believed in we'll informed circles to point the way to settie- ment of the difficulties between the two governments. It is understood it paves the way to an agreement by which the United States will relin- nuish none of the vital principles upon which it has based its case in the two Lusitania notes, and yet will b. acceptable to the Berlin foreign office.
 President Wilson will not com ment on the negotiations. He stflf is awaiting further information from Ambassador Gerard before reaching a final detennination of all the points at issue. The exact character ot Pre- sident wilson's instructions could not he ascertained. but it is known they do not modify in any vital eie- ment the original demands of the limited States. The president ex' nects the German note to reach Washington next week. and plans to return to the white house at that time. !,
